Oh...I thought you said Capuchin Monkey.

Now THAT I'd pay to see. GG Allin has nothing on a frontman who can get away with chucking his own turds at the audience.

It's heartwarming when old Capuchin monks can write music that sucks as much as music by a young whippersnapper.

I prefer the monks who make liquor to the ones that sing. Besides, celibacy and groupies don't mix. Booze, however...

Monk going to metal concerts? Yeah, that is actually how it's supposed to be. And nice to see him get a band together.

I prefer my monk music to come from the Thelonious sect.

Anyone notice the volume control on the BBC video player there goes up to 11?

Was the studio properly sanitized before he recorded? I imagine that could take hours.

I actually prefer The Monks. Check out YouTube for "Monk Chant" and "Oh, How To Do Now" for some seriously ahead of it's time music.

/I still lik ethis Monk though!
