Trailer Park Boys Bubbles In NY With Axl?

Trailer Park Boys Call Us Collect

Published: January 22, 2007

Julian and Randy, potty-mouthed stars of the hit mockumentary TV series Trailer Park Boys spent the holidays getting some much-deserved R&R in prison and they're psyched to reunite with their buddy Bubbles and party hard with Vancouverites tonight and tomorrow night at The Commodore. It will be the second stop on the Trailer Park Boys: Out of The Park tour of Western Canada with Swollen Members.

For the uninitiated, The Trailer Park Boys chronicles the lives of the fictional residents of Sunnyvale Trailer Park in Nova Scotia. Julian (played by John Paul Tremblay) and Ricky (Rob Wells) are chronic party animals who pursue various "Freedom 35" illicit activities like running booze cans, porn rings, stolen Christmas tree lots and marijuana grow-ops. Their bespectacled sidekick Bubbles (Mike Smith) lives in a shed with stray cats and is the constantly flabbergasted voice of reason and morality. Monitoring, though rarely foiling the boys' schemes is a bitter alcoholic ex-cop trailer park supervisor named Jim Lahey and his paunchy ever-shirtless bisexual lover Randy.

The show might sound as intellectually stimulating as COPS, and these are indeed exaggerated stereotypes of low rent culture. But the scripts, co-written by long-time friends Tremblay, Wells and TPB director Mike Clattenburg have a provocative skewed logic, with an underlying theme that for some people, prison beats abject poverty. The show is wildly popular with people from all walks of life because it digs at all of our social hypocrisies and rallies against the cognitive disconnect with folksy messages about the importance of close connection with friends, family and community. Instead of clich? family interactions, the TPB, for example, Ricky shares a nicotine patch with his cigarette-addicted pre-teen daughter.

Season six of the series now airs in a dozen countries round the globe, the 2006 big screen debut Trailer Park Boys: The Movie was the top box office draw in Canada opening week and it was recently nominated for three 2007 Genies. The much anticipated season seven has already been filmed for the Showcase fall lineup, there's talk of a season eight and perhaps a sequel movie.

But all this fame hasn't gone to the boys' heads as we learned when Julian and Ricky got drunk and called The Tyee offices collect from Sunnyvale to share their latest news, angle for smoke-able green "presents" from local fans and advise Harper how to run the country. They even slip out of the usual in-character interview shtick to speak as the actors playing these much-loved characters. What follows are excerpts from our conversation.

On Bubbles being MIA

Ricky: "It's only me and Julian on the phone. Bubbles got caught in a snowstorm on the way back from New York. He was down there with Axl Rose, watching him record his new record. We're jealous. Me and Julian only did a couple of shows with Axl [last December on the Guns N' Roses tour], but Bubbles did most of the tour and did his awesome song 'Liquor and Whores.'"

Well, that's nice. As long as Axl doesn't have a brainwave and get Bubbles to re-record all of Buckethead's parts, or something.

so that means that the recording is still going on, which indicates that the album is still not finished and thus not likely to come out on march 6, 2007. I'm glad to see that at least axl is using the money from the tour for some more studio time.

[gnrjanus]

I think it's a great sign.
You can say it's bad for the march 6 date. but He's in the studio for some time now, like 3 weeks, so something is going on this time.
and thanks to Julian we know that Axl is recording. it could also be the seccond or like third album. or the single!

if he is still in the studio recording "chinese" as of last week, there is no way it can come out march 6th.

[pollyblue]

album can be released in march or april. look what VR is doing now, they plan a april release too and they are still recording.

Sure it does.....


It also means Axl's building a combustion engine that runs on air and that he's preparing to run for president. 


Seriously, I don't understand how you can come to that conclusion by reading the article in question.

I think they should have recorded a version of Liquor and Whores for a bonus track on the album.

[hpantazo]

Jarmo, Strange, I don't know how that thought can't cross your mind when reading that article. I guess we think very differently. To me, if he's still recording, as that article stated, then he can't hand over the cd to the record company in time for a march 6 2007 release because as axl stated himself in his letter to us, it takes about 2 months to release a record after handing it in to the record company, so it should have been handed in during the first week of january to make it for march 6. Anyone who has been following guns n roses in the last 5-6 years would have some doubt about now that the march 6 date is not happening.

i was kind of afraid, that axl`s in new york now looking for his muse.....

but this article is in no way proof of that. we simply don`t know shit people

[spaghetti_incident]

He was down there with Axl Rose, watching him record his new record.


I take that to mean in the past. ?So who really knows what is going on now.

[Oh My Choking Soul]

Who says I don't know shit? I know allot, I know that we will get it when it is ready. I know we will find out all that we need from the band when the time is right. Until told otherwise, I have the most reliable info possible... straight from the horses mouth: "March 6th".

[jarmo]

To me, if he's still recording,

It's in the past tense.

But you assume he's still recording.

The fact is, we don't know that. You're just assuming the "worst".

right......   the part about bubbles and axl could be interpreted in many ways......

we`ll just have to wait and see, as always

[Oh My Choking Soul]

...as lond as we are reading between the lines...

Bubbles got caught in a snowstorm on the way back from New York. He was down there with Axl Rose, watching him record his new record.

Bubbles got caught - Past Tense.

On the way back - He had left, was returning and was stuck.

He was there - Past Tense.

Watching him record his new album - Past Tense, was watching, stoped watching and returned home.

Did he stop watching cause they were done recording, who knows? Maybe? Thus, it is rational to assume all is going well, if one wanted to draw conclusions.

...and this report could be a week or even a month old? Do when know the exact date that this was referring to?

Yeah but however, I think Axl said in his letter that we would be informed when it was complete.

And, if it was delayed..

 So what you saying is that there will be a 100 percent chance of us knowing something! 

[EFISH]

Axl said he would be notified if it was delayed.....so as far as I'm concerned, the plan is still to release it march 6th.

Its good that we know he is taking this time to record, and he's not just messing around.

This is good news everyone.

It hasn't snowed here at all up until last week.
