He really, really does. After taking the top spot on the NME "Cool List," for example, he decided he would get a "F**K the NME" tattoo. Logically, as that is what most people do when people, publications, and other entities annoy them. I have similar homages to Bank of America, Cingular Wireless, and Rolling Stone on various body parts, so it makes perfect sense to me.

 

Anyway, Frank did an interview with a UK Web site, and used the "f-word" enough times to make comedian Artie Lange blush.

 

Let's see:

"I went and did those f**king photos, but I didn't actually believe that they'd have the b*****ks to put it on there..."

 

And then it gets better:

F**k, yeah, of course I will. I've seen it both ways with that f**king magazine. If I got a 'F**k the NME' tattoo seriously, they'd probably put me in the 'Had it – lost it' list. You know, they'd be like 'it's not cool to bash us, we've given you so much'. You've given me f**k all mate, you've given me a headache. We'll see, but I'm going to do it anyway, I don't give a f**k. To be fair, I'd rather be in the 'Had it – lost it' list than number one.

Here's what I picture a quiet night at home with Frank is like:

 

"Hey, you want dinner?"

 

"F**k yeah, I want dinner! I want some f**king bangers and mash and I will eat the f**k out of that like you never even f**king imagined!"

 

Once dinner is served:

 

"So, how do you like it?"

 

"F**k this dinner! It's not what I wanted at all, too much mash, needed more f**king bangers! I'm getting a f**k you tattoo, as well as a f**k bangers and mash... I shouldn't have even had f**king dinner tonight. I'm going to bed. Good f**king night. F**K!"

 

 

Turns out the doctor doesn't think Frank is ready to play after his nasty head injury the other night -- and only told the band after they finished their soundcheck.

Perhaps "play wrestling" your fans isn't the best idea in the world, after all...

Tom wasted no time collaborating with Eddie Temple-Morris on a new project called Losers. So far, they have remixed bands including The Gossip, Rage Against The Machine, and Gallows -- with more to come.

Of course, he's said this before, and he said he still wants to do a second and a third Gallows album, so it's not like we should be writing the band's obituary just yet... but Frank says he's more dedicated to being a tattoo artist than a musician, and the band has no more than five years left.

Including some good footage of Frank getting his tattoo done on stage -- though given that it took all of two minutes, it can't be all that detailed. Still, awesome band, sick show. Check out the video here.

In the middle of what Frank called "the greatest show of [his] life," which included his mum coming up on stage, Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory came out and gave him a tattoo on his arm so he'd remember the show forever.

The lineup is killer -- The Used, Rise Against, Aiden, Gallows, Escape The Fate, and The Bled will be banding together to bring the rock around the world this autumn. I'm officially jealous.

The band made a video for "In The Belly of a Shark," and put it online today. Seems like an unpleasant place to be, but the video kicks ass. Because kicking ass is what Gallows does for a living.

The day after being ticketed for uttering a "swear word" over the PA in Jacksonville, during the band's set at Warped Tour in Tampa, Florida, security grabbed a drunken fan and tried to bring him to the cops, but Lags and Frank jumped off the stage to come to his rescue. That is seriously awesome, and punk fucking rock.

The three bands will appear on "Steven's Untitled Rock Show" tonight, Wednesday, August 1st, as part of Fuse's "Warped Wednesday" series.

With the tickets capped at 150, I'd expect this show, set for August 22nd, to sell out in about 2.5 minutes.
