Yes, Danko Jones were on Much On Demand, but I was surprised when I walked by another TV afterwards, and there was Damon Richardson on the panel on TSN's Off The Record! Dude was pretty funny too.
I know this is totally unrelated, but that new Christina Aquilera video was friggin hot! If I was at home I probably would have rubbed one out.

LOL, Christina has such great powers  Well anyway i think that Danko must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, imho he certainly didn't appear too happy to be there on MOD. As he spoke glowingly about the European scene I'm wondering if Canada is just going to be a place to visit over the coming years. It was great to hear danko downgrade those annoying jerks Good Charlotte when he quoted Chis Rock who had called them a mediocre 'Green Day'. |

i didn't see it, but it must be frustrating for authentic well-spoken people to guest on MOD given the hosts are absolute doufases and the thing targets teens while pretending it doesn't.

For those that missed it, here is the transcript from Danko Jones' appearance on Much On Demand. For our European friends Much Music is Canada's version of MTV and Much On Demand is Much Music's rip-off of TRL. It's a teeny-bopper show.
October 15, 2003.
> Rick: "AUDIENCE WEDNESDAY." DANKO JONES, WITH THE BOYS TO MY LEFT: GAVIN, DANKO, J.C... WHAT'S UP, GUYS?
> NOTHING IS UP.
> EVERYTHING IS GOOD.
> Rick: THANKS FOR COMING TODAY.
> THANKS FOR HAVING US.
> Rick: LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS RIGHT HERE. THAT'S A COOL ALBUM COVER RIGHT THERE.
> THANKS, MAN.
> Rick: NOT SINCE SLAYER, "SOUTH OF HEAVEN," HAS AN ALBUM COVER BEEN THAT NICE.
> THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ALBUM COVERS, TOO.
> Rick: WITH THE SKULL AND EVERYTHING? THAT'S PRETTY SWEET, THOUGH, MAN. NOW WHEN YOU SWEAT BLOOD, YOU'RE USUALLY TALKING ABOUT-- YOU'RE HARD WORKERS...
> IT'S ACTUALLY STIGMATA, RICK.
> Rick: WHAT THE HELL DO I KNOW?
> SORRY. I'M JOKING.
> Rick: WHAT DOES WE SWEAT BLOOD MEAN TO YOU GUYS?
> STIGMATA. ACTUALLY, IT'S A REFERENCE TO JUST HOW THE BAND-- HOW THE THREE OF US CARRY OURSELVES ON AND OFF STAGE, THE WORK SCHEDULE... I DON'T KNOW... WHY BUT WE PUT OURSELVES THROUGH-- IT'S JUST THE LIVE SHOW WHEN WE'RE ON STAGE. WE TEND TO SWEAT A LOT. UM, IT'S PROBABLY AN IMBALANCE SOMEWHERE IN OUR BODIES. BUT IT DOES HAPPEN. AND JUST HOW OFFSTAGE THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE BECAUSE J.C. IS OUR BASS PLAYER AND IS ALSO OUR MANAGER. SO WHILE OTHER BANDS ARE THROWING TVs OUT THE WINDOW OF THEIR HOTEL ROOMS AND GETTING THEIR MANAGER TO FIX IT ALL UP, WE DON'T HAVE THAT LUXURY. WE GOT TO-- WE KNOW WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT IN THE END, SO IT'S ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT HIT THE MANAGERIAL PART OF A BAND, WE DEAL WITH HEAD-ON, SO...
> Rick: ASIDE FROM J.C. BEING THE BASS PLAYER AND THE MANAGER, I HEAR HE'S A "BARRISTA," AS WELL.
> JC: NO, NOT ANYMORE.
> Rick: A BARRISTA. NOT ANYMORE? A SURGEON OF COFFEE? NOT ANYMORE?
> JC: NO, LONG TIME AGO.
> Rick: YOU GIVING THAT UP?
> JC: I HAVE NO TIME. I HAVE NO TIME.
> Rick: TOO MUCH TRAVELLING THESE DAYS, J.C.
> JC: YEAH.
> Danko: HE'S SWEATING BLOOD.
> Damon: TOO MUCH STIGMATA GOING ON.
> Rick: YOU JUST GOT BACK FROM THE U.S. WHAT KIND OF IMPRESSION DID YOU LEAVE ON THE AMERICANS DOWN SOUTH?
> IT WAS PRETTY COOL. WE DID A TWO-WEEK SWING IN THE UNITED STATES WITH TURBO NEGRO, AND THEY TOOK US OUT ON TOUR, AND IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. WE DID THE MIDWEST TO THE SOUTH. WE GOT TO PLAY IN TEXAS. WE HADN'T BEEN THERE FOR A FEW YEARS, IN TEXAS. THAT WAS FUN, AUSTIN AND DALLAS.
> Damon: AS FAR AS IMPRESSIONS GO, I LAID DOWN A LITTLE JOHN CANDY AND A LITTLE--
> Rick: JOHNNY LaRUE?
> Damon: A LITTLE JOHNNY LaRUE. I JUST SAW "PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES."
> Damon: (Doing imitation:) AND I'M THE EARL OF CAMEMBERT.
> Rick: (Laughing) LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS HUGE EUROPEAN TOUR YOU'RE ABOUT TO EMBARK ON. NOVEMBER, IT WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH CHRISTMAS.
> OCTOBER, DUDE!
> WE LEAVE ON MONDAY.
> OCTOBER 20th TO DECEMBER 22nd.
> Rick: YOU LEAVING ON MONDAY?
> YES. WE'RE PLAYING IN PORTUGAL ON THE 24th AND 25th, AND THE U.K. ON THE 28th AND IN HOLLAND ON THE 29th.
> Rick: WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS ABOUT DANKO JONES THAT THE EUROPEANS LOVE SO MUCH 'CAUSE YOU'RE GOING ALL OVER THE PLACE?
> THERE'S A REALLY GOOD ROCK SCENE IN EUROPE AND IN SCANDINAVIA THAT EXPORTS THEMSELVES OUT TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. TURBO NEGRO ARE ONE OF THEM. THEY'RE FROM NORWAY. THE HIVES ARE FROM SWEDEN; HANROI ROCKS ARE FROM FINLAND, AND THE RAVENETTES ARE FROM DENMARK.
> Rick: YEAH.
> SO THESE ARE ALL BANDS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HANROI ROCKS, THAT ARE REALLY CURRENT AND ARE REALLY EXPORTING THEMSELVES OUT TO THE WORLD, AND WE ARE PART OF THAT SCENE, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE FROM CANADA. WE ARE-- I CONSIDER OURSELVES REALLY PART OF THE SCENE.
> Rick: YOU THANK A LOT OF EUROPEAN BANDS IN THE LINE NOTES AND THANK-YOU'S TO A LOT OF SWEDISH BANDS, MORE SPECIFICALLY.
> YEAH, BECAUSE--
> WE'RE THERE ALL THE TIME. WE SEE THOSE PEOPLE A LOT MORE THAN WE SEE OUR TORONTO BRETHREN OR CANADIAN BANDMATES, FELLOW BANDMATES.
> Rick: DO YOU MISS THEM?
> WE MISS-- IT'S GOOD TO SEE THEM, BUT IT'S GOOD TO BE FAR AWAY AND PLAYING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.
> Rick: LET'S GET TO THE VIDEO.
> LET'S DO IT, MAN.
> Rick: "WE SWEAT BLOOD," DANKO JONES. "I WANT YOU," RIGHT HERE ON "MuchOnDemand." (Applause and cheering) (Playing video)
> Jenn: DANKO JONES, AND "I WANT YOU." NOW, DANKO, DO YOU WANT ME, HIM, HER? WHO DO YOU WANT BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE SINGING THAT, I'M BELIEVING YA!
> BELIEVE IT.
> Jenn: BELIEVE IT ALL?
> YEAH. I WANT EVERYBODY... ...TO BUY THE NEW ALBUM, "WE SWEAT BLOOD," DANKO JONES.
> Jenn: THERE YOU GO. AN HONEST ARTIST RIGHT THERE. NOW I WANT TO KNOW TRULY WHO THE THREE OF YOU ARE BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN YOUR VIDEOS, HAVE SEEN YOU LIVE, AND I'M NOT CONVINCED YOU'RE THE SAME PEOPLE 'CAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU'RE PRETTY CALM AND CHILLED, WELL-MANNERED. AND ONSTAGE, IT'S A BIT OF A TRANSFORMATION. SO DO YOU TAKE ON A CHARACTER WHEN YOU STEP UP?
> Damon: TO BECOME VERY RUDE ONSTAGE, I TAKE ON MY ALTER EGO. IN FACT, I'M A MEMBER HERE IN THE CHATROOM. I GO BY "MAKE BABIES WITH RICK." SO I MIGHT SEEM POLITE RIGHT NOW, BUT REALLY... WHERE IS HE? WHERE'S RICK?
> Jenn: HE'S MAKING BABIES SOMEWHERE ELSE, I THINK.
> Damon: I DON'T LIKE HIM ANYMORE THEN.
> Jenn: OKAY. WHAT ABOUT YOU, DANKO? I KNOW YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES, NAMES... LINGO KID, BROWN PANTHER. SO IS IT A BIT OF A TRANSFORMATION?
> NO, NOT AT ALL.
> Jenn: NO?
> IT'S JUST THE FACT THAT I GET REALLY EXCITED WHEN I GET TO PLAY ON STAGE.
> Jenn: MM-HMM.
> A LOT OF PEOPLE PEE IN THEIR PANTS WHEN THEY HAVE TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE, BUT I DON'T. I KIND OF HAVE THE OPPOSITE REACTION. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT THERE'S A PERSONA ON AND OFFSTAGE, BUT IF THEY MEET ME BEFORE OR AFTER THE SHOW AND I'M QUIET, WHICH I USUALLY AM MOST OF THE DAY, IT'S ONLY BECAUSE I'M NOT ON STAGE AND THERE'S NOTHING TO DO. YOU JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU GET ON STAGE.
> Jenn: WHAT? IT'S NOT ROCK 'N' ROLL ALL THE TIME?
> LIKE I SAID, IT WOULD BE IF WE WEREN'T, YOU KNOW, MANAGING OURSELVES, LIKE J.C. IS OUR MANAGER. SO IT'S LIKE YOU'RE ALWAYS ON GUARD, AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR STUFF TOGETHER, AND I LEAVE-- YOU KNOW, I LEAVE THAT FOR ALL THE OTHER BANDS WHO WANT TO SAY THAT AND BRAG ABOUT IT.
> Jenn: YEAH.
> BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF BEHIND THE SCENES THAT HAS TO BE DONE ON A DAILY BASIS, A LOT OF WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE. I'M JUST GIVING IT REAL. I MEAN I COULD SAY THAT, "YEAH, IT WAS FUN THROWING THAT TV OUT THE WINDOW THE OTHER NIGHT," BUT REALLY OUR TOUR SCHEDULE IS SUCH THAT-- I MEAN, IF ANYTHING WERE TO GO WRONG ONE NIGHT, THE REST OF THE TOUR COULD BE IN JEOPARDY, AND ESPECIALLY THIS TOUR. I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT, BUT WE'RE DOING 21 DATES IN A ROW IN DECEMBER, WHICH IS LIKE-- IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY COLD AND THERE'S NO BREAK.
> Jenn: YEAH.
> I MEAN THAT'S-- JUST IMAGINE COMING HERE EVERY DAY, 21 DAYS IN A ROW, JUST TO WORK, I MEAN.
> Jenn: I HAVE DONE IT SOMETIMES. IT'S TOUGH.
> IT'S TOUGH.
> Jenn: WHEN I THINK OF DANKO JONES, I THINK OF THE TOURING, THE LIVE EXPERIENCE. AND I REMEMBER HEARING WHEN YOU WERE FIRST INTRODUCED INTO THE SCENE HERE IN TORONTO IN THE MID TO LATE-'90s, THAT DANKO WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT MAKING CDs AND RELEASING CDs; IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A LIVE BAND. IS THAT TRUE?
> YEAH, YOU'RE TOTALLY 100% CORRECT.
> Jenn: SO WHAT HAS RELEASING CDs CHANGED? WHAT IS DANKO JONES FOR THE GUYS IN THE BAND?
> IT'S REALLY ENABLED US TO PLAY IN FRONT OF MORE PEOPLE, PLAY MORE PLACES, SEE MORE PLACES, MEET MORE PEOPLE, AND STAY ON THE ROAD FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. WE REALIZE THAT AFTER TWO YEARS OF NOT PUTTING ANYTHING OUT, WE REALIZED THAT AFTER WE DID LIKE FULL NORTH AMERICAN TOURS IN OUR VAN WITH NO MERCHANDISE, NOT EVEN CDs TO SELL, THE ONLY MONEY THAT WE HAVE TO SUSTAIN US IS THE MONEY WE MAKE AT EACH SHOW. AND SINCE NO ONE REALLY KNEW WHO WE WERE, IT WASN'T THAT MUCH. WE REALIZED IN ORDER TO KEEP THIS THING GOING, BECAUSE WE REALLY LOVE DOING THIS, WE HAVE TO PUT OUT A RECORD THAT WILL ENABLE PEOPLE TO FIND OUT ABOUT US. THAT WILL BRING PEOPLE TO THE SHOWS, AND THAT WILL ENABLE US TO STAY ON THE ROAD AND TOUR A LOT OF PLACES. WOULD I DO IT AGAIN? I DON'T KNOW. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT TO ANYBODY. AND WE DID IT OUT OF, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT WE WERE JUST THESE YOUNG, NAIVE PUNK ROCKERS WHO WERE REALLY IDEALISTIC ABOUT WHAT THEY DID. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S GREAT TO BE IDEALISTIC AND STUFF BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE REAL PICTURE, I-- WE ALL REALLY WANT TO DO THIS 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR, AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO PUT OUT A RECORD.
> Jenn: IT'S A BALANCE BETWEEN THE MUSIC AND THE BUSINESS. DANKO JONES, THEY'RE STAYING WITH US ON "MuchOnDemand." (Applause and cheering) DANKO. ("MuchOnDemand" theme) (Applause and cheering)
> Jenn: WELCOME BACK TO "MuchOnDemand" WITH DANKO JONES. ARE YOU GUYS DOING OKAY?
> GOOD.
> Jenn: GOOD. JUST CHECKING.
> Rick: VERY QUICKLY, BEFORE WE STOP THE VOTE-O-MATIC, YOU TALKED ABOUT GOING ON-TOUR IN EUROPE. MONSTER MAGNET WILL HELP YOU OUT AND SIMPLE TOUR?
> WE'RE DOING A WEEK OF DATES WITH SIMPLE TOUR IN GERMANY, AND WE'RE PLAYING THE U.K. WITH MONSTER MAGNET.
> Rick: THAT'S COOL.
> Jenn: NICELY DONE! WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE VOTE-O-MATIC ABOUT LIVE PERFORMANCES. THE CHOICES WERE BETWEEN SUM 41, GOOD CHARLOTTE OR OUR LADY PEACE. GOOD CHARLOTTE WON. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT BANDS LIKE GOOD CHARLOTTE?
> Damon: SUM 41 IS BETTER.
> Jenn: SUM 41 IS BETTER? YOU'RE CLAPPING.
> Danko: YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW MY OPINION. YOU KNOW WHAT? CHRIS ROCK AND ME AGREE: MEDIOCRE GREENDAY.
> Jenn: OKAY. LET'S CHECK OUT THE VIDEO. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY, GUYS.
> Rick: THANKS FOR COMING IN.

You're welcome, all. That came courtesy of Much Music's website. Guess they post their transcripts.

Did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?
