New Movie Part, Voices of Cartoon Charcaters, & a Review
Hello Everybody,
I just want to thank everybody who came out to Hixonfest on July 28th, it was a blast and the guys from The Hixon are the coolest ever and their band rules! You should definitely check them out! All the metal bands that night were great and of course I ended up passed out in The Hixon drummers car by the end of the night! Also a big thank you to everybody who has been coming out to the Killers Of Comedy shows! The shows have been amazing and it's been great hanging with all the fans, and it never gets old hanging out with Beetlejuice on the weekends too! I've been fortunate to have been involved in some really cool projects lately, back in May I flew to Missouri to play the part of Caleb in the horror movie Albino Farm. I'm a huge horror movie fan so this was an amazing experience for me. Everybody on the set was really nice and the movie is going to be amazing! I had about three hours worth of special effects makeup done on me which was really cool looking! The director Sean McEwan is a really cool guy and it was awesome talking metal and hanging out with another star of the movie, Chris Jericho. I also did a small part on the TV show Rescue Me recently playing Drunk Guy At The End Of The Bar! This is the role I was born to play! Everybody on the set was really nice and they were all huge Stern fans which was really cool. I also recently did voices for four different characters for an episode of the awesome heavy metal Cartoon Network cartoon Metalocalypse. Tommy Blacha, one of the show's creators contacted me about doing voices for the show and he's a super cool guy and a true metalhead! I had a blast doing it and I can't wait to see the finished result!
I saw Coheed and Cambria last Sunday and they were absolutely amazing! I'm really pumped that Chris Pennie is drumming for them; he's a phenomenal drummer and a super cool guy. Their new album is going to rule! I also saw a really funny movie yesterday called King Of Kong, it's a documentary about the World Champion Donkey Kong Player and it's hilarious! I'm also getting really excited because it's nearing the Halloween season, my favorite time of the year! My girlfriend and I are traveling all around the country in September and October to visit different haunted houses which I'm so psyched about! So Happy Early Halloween everybody! Take Care!

EVIL NED III on YouTube
 Howdy everyone, I just wanted to let everybody know a few things that I've been up to lately. First off, I wanna thank everybody who came to the screening of my 1995 movie Evil Ned 3 in New York City at the Two Boots Theater! I also want to thank Ray Privett from Two Boots for making the screening possible. It was a blast and it inspired me to put EVIL NED III on YouTube for everybody to enjoy. I had to put the movie up in 5 parts because there's a ten minute limit for YouTube vids and if anybody out there makes it through all five parts I gotta hand it to you because this movie is about as low budget and badly acted as they come! But it is funny though, I think anyway, and if you're into stupid, sophomoric, drunken humor then you'll probably like it! I play the part of the monster Skullfuck in the film so that right there tells you where the films intelligence level is! Here's a funny review of Evil Ned 3 on a Zombie Movie Website called ZMDB.org:
Story: An evil monster who was once human rises from the grave as an even more evil monster zombie. He launches a plan to take over the world under the control of his master. The monster zombie plans to use ancient underwear, feces, and evil ducks to accomplish his mission. It's up to a superhero to stop him.
Running Time: 45 Minutes
User comments: Hilariously Awful Oh man, this is one of those really god awful SOV that some Camcorder Coppola thought would be a good idea at the time. Now, admiteddly, I did enjoy the film. It is horribly bad in many ways, but it still turned out to be a lot of fun. Everything is so damn cheap in here that you can't help but laugh. Skullfuck is obviously a store-bought mask. The ducks are nothing more than decoys. The superhero has a guy flipping his cape as he flies. You can actually see the hand moving it. With this much cinematic incompetence though, you can't help but laugh at this stuff. by: Verhoskan
I love that review! Here's a link to that review on the web: TrashVideo.org
Also, I want to thank everybody who's been coming out to the Killers of Comedy shows that I've been a part of! We're having a blast on the road and a big thank you to all the fans who've come to see us! We have some great shows coming up too, like tomorrow night at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey and July 4th at the House of Blues in Atlantic City. You can check my website richardchristy.com for dates and also the calendar on my myspace page has all of my standup comedy dates. Hope to see you there! I did something really fun for Memorial Day this year too, I was cast in a horror movie called Albino Farm and I played a crazy religious redneck! The film company flew me to Missouri and I even got to have 3 hours worth of special makeup effects applied to me! I'm so excited because I'm a huge horror fan and I've always dreamed of being in a horror movie. This movie is going to be scary as hell and I can't wait to see the finished product! I wanna thank the director Sean McEwan and the whole cast and crew of the movie for being so awesome, I had a blast! I'm not sure when it's being released but if you're into horror movies you should definitely check it out! There's a cool article about Albino Farm on the front page of Fangoria.com right now. Here's a link to the article: Fangoria.com
I also want to thank everybody who's listening to Sirius Satellite Radio and The Howard Stern Show, we're having a blast and the show's better than ever, if you don't have Sirius yet then I would highly recommend it! Also, thanks to everybody who listened to my show on Hard Attack Sirius 27 called Richard Christy's Heavy Metal Hoedown, I got tons of great feedback about the show so thanks to everybody who listened and banged their head to it! Hopefully I'll be doing another show on Hard Attack sometime soon! Well, its Beer-Thirty on Friday afternoon and I'm off to the Yankees vs. Mets game so I gotta run, thanks to everyone who's emailed me and I'll talk to you soon!

Richard Christy's "EVIL NED 3 - THE RETURN OF EVIL NED 2 - ELECTRIC BOOGALOO" Directorial Film Debut
Hi everybody, I'm really excited because on Saturday, June 2nd at The Two Boots Pioneer Theater in New York City, my directorial film debut "Evil Ned 3 - The Return of Evil Ned 2 - Electric Boogaloo" is being shown as part of a double feature along with the horror classic "Evil Dead"! I made Evil Ned when I lived in Springfield, Missouri in 1995 and I have to warn you beforehand, I had no idea what in the hell I was doing! But for all of its technical flaws there are many crazy things in this film that will make you either laugh or cry! This film was made for about 250 dollars, 200 of which was spent on beer, and it is the epitome of low budget! If you're into beer, dirty magazines, huge hog testicles, gay monsters, Amish Erotica, and evil talking ducks, then you'll love this movie! The Screening starts at 11 pm and I hope to see you all there! Here's a link to info about the theater TwoBoots.com and to buy tickets: Tix.com
Hope to see you there!

Richard Christy & Mike Portnoy Drum Solo
 I'm so honored to have been invited to play a drum solo with one of my all time favorite drummers Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. I was so nervous because not only was the show in front of a huge crowd at Jones Beach Ampitheater in Long Island, New York, but also sitting next to me would be a true drumming legend! I met up with Mike before read more & see video...

Richard Christy's New Website!
 Hey everybody, Richard here. Well as you can see my new updated website is finally online. I've been really busy with work but I finally found the time to put together some new songs, my stand up comedy Dates, and various other goodies. I'll be doing comedy shows throughout the fall and winter so make sure to check out the comedy dates page to see if I'll be doing stand up at a club near you! I hope you enjoy it. I'll be checking back here often and you can contact me through my email richard@richardchristy.com or on my official myspace page. Thanks and Take Care!
I'm working on editing my last film "Majestic Loincloth". I filmed it over two years ago and I think it's a very funny film with some great metal music. I hope to have it finished early next year and I plan on posting either parts of the film or the whole film here on my website.
I'm also writing tons of music right now and I hope to record an album with a good friend of mine Jason Suecof from Audiohammer Studios in the near future. We've written several great songs together and I would love to put out an album of our music maybe sometime next year. I would describe the music as heavy and super melodic with amazing guitar harmonies and leads.
Before I moved to New York in 2004 Burning Inside recorded seven or eight amazing songs that are still unreleased. I would love to see these songs come out as a new Burning Inside album sometime in the near future. There is a new Burning Inside song on the Burning Inside page.
