Chris Knight,
If I were a musician, and I had the fan base of Frank, I'd probably be a little bit understanding of people on an unofficial forum who doubted my identity. I wouldn't think Frank would be pissed off. I'd assume that he would've taken the incredulity into account.
Quit trying to be Dave's yes-man.

Ha ha ha. This is great! I'm sorry. But it really is me. I'm trying to figure out how to prove it while not stooping to giving out personal info or have to get into behind the scenes emailing with someone...let's see...I did mention Scott's temporary replacement on the upcoming UK part of the tour...Joe Kidd...not too many people should know about that...what else?...I guess we could do a question and answer about my songs; that would eventually be revealing I suppose. Well, anyway, I'm not trying to waste anyone's time here, just having a little fun. I think ProverbealCereal was pretty funny. It's actually kinda hard to "prove" this without getting into something I don't want to...like....what color are Dave Philips' boxers? And even then, that doesn't prove does it. Something we can all confirm...I'll check the next page here for any ideas...

Oh, and by the way CultofFrank, the name of my "current" girlfriend was printed in a recent issue of the NME, so that really wouldn't prove anything. But not a bad way to try and get confirmation. Let's think of something else. OK. Here's some trivia. What songs does Joey S. play on the new album? It's not listed in the credits. Or. What does Van Dyke Parks play on Manitoba? Kind of a trick question. Not iron-clad proof....but more of a slow converting kind of thing. What do SPACE IS GONNA DO ME GOOD, BIG RED, JET BLACK RIVER and CAN I GET A WITNESS have in common? If someone actually gets that one I'll buy them tacos and beer. And what's wrong with posting from aol? I'm on the road, man. I don't have time to set up proper accounts at the moment. i need quick and easy. I don't even have a cable modem right now. Too busy. I just do shit, listen to the classical and jazz stations, and check my email. Oh. And I DO come here now and them. I guess i like to see what the gang has to say about the gigs mostly, or at the moment, scan a few reviews that are posted. Normally I wouldn't even read reviews, but it's so convenient and cozy here that I can't help but check it out. Well, enough of ME blabbing on...

Okay, Frankie boy. I may not have a question that would prove to everyone who you are, but, if you can answer it, it would prove to me that you are who you say you are.
Here you go : give me the first name of the former light man for the Pixies who now has a recording studio in New England. And what is the name of the recording studio?

Okay, i'm gonna join in this one.......Frank, when you last played Dublin, in June you went to dinner with some musicians from a band that were playing here that week..............
tell the forum what the first initial of each of their first names are ?
or if you are feeling playful, make an anagram of the frontman's surname ?
riddle me this........
This ain't no holiday. |

hello all,
I dunno, maybe this dude is Frank or not.
Myself and my friend sneaked back stage to see Frank do some interviews before a gig in Vicar St,Dublin 2 years ago. We then got our pic taken, and quickly gave him a present of a t-shirt.
Who was on the t-shirt? Ok, he probably gets loads of freebies from fans and doesnt remember but maybe he does, if he gets that one right i'd believe it is him for definite!
I am still waiting to get my copy of the new album from the spinart site. I love DW & BLD from last year, listen to them all the time again and again. These 2 and TOTY I have probably listened to the most. I am going to miss the upcoming Dublin gig coz I have to go to a wedding which is a bummer for me! Frank, dont suppose an extra Dublin date is going to get added?
best of luck with the album + tour

| There's a very easy was to prove this, if you are the real Frank then just take a pic of yourself in front of your computer screen while posting a message as frnck blck, and upload it. That would prove you right for sure. |

Hey Frank, I am an American living in Germany, real close to Ludwigshafen...what is the inspiration for Ludwigshafen on the Everything is New single? Is it about the town in Germany or something else? Looking forward to seeing you in Heidelberg.

| ok well here's another method then. It only takes about 5 seconds to plug a mic into a pc or mac right? Well if you are the real Mr Black meet all us unbelievers in an MSN chat and give us an acoustic session or something. :) |

If you ain't he that's ok, but if you are, one question please.
The Session you did with Glen Hansard... rather than going it alone, why he? Are you a fan, a friend, or just happen to share the same PR people here in Ireland? Believe it or not there could be a lot riding on your reply |

I think that even if it is Frank then he's gonna get some people giving it 'this is bullshit' due to the anonimity of the internet. For all you guys know I could be Burt Reynolds!
But if this is Frank I'd just like to say a congratulations on the new album, it's a breath of fresh air and is some of your best work in my opinion. Keep up the album a year regime as I'll always buy your albums, even if I do have to get them sent to Beijing (which you could always play seeing as your bestest fan is here).

Unless he had been drinking all afternoon, I'm fairly certain it isn't the real FB. Check out http://forum.frankblack.net/search.asp?mode=DoIt&MEMBER_ID=74 and compare the writing styles.

Heh, I already made a post similar to this earlier, doc.
Stuart, welcome aboard! It's always good to have someone like Burt Reynolds. You may want to start your own thread.
Chris Knight, don't worry, according to 'frnk blck' he was looking forward to trying to convince us, so this sort of thing isn't a problem whoever it might be. Dave, Jim, and myself are looking into it, though.

FB, I believe you've posted under other usernames just to fuck with people.
