Life is just a collection of adventures and Brian Mannix has one hell of a collection.
To quote the man himself:
“I’ve been extremely lucky to experience all the rock star clichés of sex, drugs and rock n roll through my role as lead singer of The Uncanny X-en. I’ve had bras and undies thrown at me, as well as bottles and glasses; stayed in the best hotels, and the worst dives you could imagine. I’ve been adored and despised, had hit records and flops, been rich and poor. I’ve driven in a Grand Prix, acted in one of Australia’s best movies (Chopper) and worked on one of Australia’s worst movies (Houseboat Horror). I’ve toured with Rod Stewart and Joan Jett and worked as a labourer in a quarry. Got my girlfriend pregnant in The Flying Doctors and played an Irish jockey in Neighbours. I’ve kicked a Hollywood star in the balls and hung out with male strippers in theatre. I’ve sung at a Grand Final, and played gigs to just a handful of people; had sex at the MCG, and on a pile of rubbish behind the Eureka hotel. I’ve been shot at, arrested, overpaid, underpaid, ripped off, respected and ridiculed. I’ve appeared on Hey Hey It’s Saturday, Spicks and Specks, Blue Heelers, and just about every TV show in the country, plus I’ve hosted Countdown and even been on Dancing with the Stars.
It’s all here warts and all... not that I’ve ever had genital warts...
If I had, it would be in here."
