Do you guys think Artie maybe smells bad?

I know, I know, it's a reach. Obviously people addicted to hard drugs are renowned for their personal hygiene. And we all know the heavily overweight generally emit a fragrant odour. Add to that the fact that Mr Lange always looks so well- kempt and fresh.

Do you fellows think he showers daily, liberally applies deodorant once towelled off and brushes his teeth every morning and evening? Or does he smell like a homeless person's newspaper underwear?

He probably wears hats because he doesn't wash his hair.

You might be on to something...

im sure hes good for the first 10 minutes after getting himself all ready. then after that first pore starts sweating, the heroine seeps thru

What does this heroine smell like? Is she a gal who looks after herself?

Tsss... fawkin wurd yuma.

Odour?

You're in a British sub, old chap.

OI CUNT MY TEETH ARE ROTTEN INNIT

BEHAVE YOURSELF YOU SLAG!

I mentioned the other day somewhere here, that whilst in college, I used to wait tables on weekends in Hoboken, where Artie was a semi-regular. I'd also frequently see him out and about town after my shift when getting drunk/drugged out. The man is pure misery. The saddest human being I'd ever had the misfortune of laying my eyes on. He smelt like stale booze btw, always ordered jack on the rocks. Felt bad for the guy. Still do.

Hi Dana!

How much did they weigh? Tss

The saddest human being

elaborate plz :)

On the verge of tears at all times. He'd come in by himself, sit at a table for 2, order his drinks and whatever special we were having, and just sit there with a combination of the saddest, most depressed, angriest mug you'd ever seen on a human being plastered across his face. Excellent tipper though, but he wouldn't say a word to anyone. When I'd run into him late night, he'd be completely hammered, again with a scowl on and would always be approached by drunk fans offering him shit. He wasn't an asshole, but certainly not friendly either, except if it were a woman. Whereupon he would try hitting on her and it was every bit as embarrassing as you would imagine. I remember being taken aback by how lonely the dude was. This was prime Artie era Stern, so early 2000s, but the dude was always by himself. My guess is, he'd get annihilated in his condo, and just meander down into the street and wander about stewing about how miserable he was.

He's gay and in denial. The sooner he comes out of the closet, he can ditch the fake Jersey tough guy act and take it up the ads like a real man.

Could be. It's the Northeast tough guy street mentality. I've ran into obvious closet cases in my life who were just the embodiment of misery. It's not like you can just hop on the subway and restart in the Village or Chelsea without running into people you know. I dunno, I just felt bad for the dude.

Artie? Gay? You sure you don’t mean Ant? By the way: I think Ant is either bi, or becoming strictly dickly, but the story about the gym he told today made that apparent.

But if Art is gay, too, they should just fuck on air.

I dunno about Artie. I was just responding to someone's theory on him. Don't care about anyone's sexuality, but it could possibly be one of the reasons he's so self-destructive. As far as Ant goes, I think he's straight, or was born straight but went insane from complete debauchery after years of boozing, drugging, and sordid sexual conquests. Throw loneliness, despair, and morbid self-hatred in the mix and your gonna get a Sue situation on your hands.
BTW what gym story are you talking about? What did he say?

My money's on some kind of abuse as a kid. He behaves like he's actually trying to kill himself with everything he does

Yesterday, he told a story about how his ‘trainer’ came over while AC people came over to his house. As he said, they probably heard him grunting. He made it sound like he was really lifting weights. Yet, considering the Fire Island and the Sue stuff, I think the trainer was probably fucking him. :D

I kind of take this as a good sign—that he’s preparing for prison, and that he’s not going to kill himself. I really hope I’m right.

Sounds eerily similar to Layne Staleys (lead singer of Alice in chains) behavior in his last days.

You had to see to believe it man. I'm a hardcore alcoholic/addict who just recently cleaned up. He was as bad as I'd ever see someone in terms of just being soul sick.

suprising, that is really sad, thanks for the info, interesting

I swear on anything still good and virtuous on this planet, he was the saddest I've ever seen another human being. It actually fucked with me every time I saw him.

I always knew he was troubled, but had no idea how low he got. Really shocking for some reason to me, whenever he's on the air he seems like a social person. Fucks with my head!

Yea that sad clown cliché is undeniable. I'd listen to the dude on my way to work/school every morning just howling with laughter. Then once a month or so I'd see the man behind the laughs and it'd break my heart. Tsss tsss Nevah meet your heroes or sumptin' Dvv DvvvVv

but doctor, i am pagliacci

:( :( :(

I don't care what anybody says, that movie's great

The scene where the guy gets his face burned off with fry oil is awesome.

damn it. kinda makes me feel like we all have a little artie in us.

I guess "some broad" was busy on those evenings.

I bet he smells like blood and shit. With a hint of fat fuck BO

and brushes his teeth every morning

Bloody gum rag more likely

Heroin makes people sweat like crazy when they aren't on it. Combine that with him being fat...

Maybe there's a reason he sits so far away from Ant in the studio.

I wonder if he can reach his own ass to wipe it.

The title of this post sounds like something Sam would say while laughing like a porpoise.

Jim: "I bet Artie smells bad."

Sam: "Are you saying (laughs) you think maybe Artie smells bad (laughs) because he's overweight and does a lot of drugs and doesn't care about his personal hygiene?" (Laughs)

/the show

I resent this accusation greatly...but there's a ring of truth to it. Fuck.

Artie actually has already admitted this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8ASOkplfnE

I really like Artie but even without ever having been within 1000 miles of the man I'm confident in saying he smells utterly wretched.

Booze, cigarettes, and vomit. Probably not terribly different than most of us.

Why do you care? Are you planning on tonguing his taint?

his nose is fucked up so he probably doesn't smell very well

tsssss That's a good one!

With a name like Artie you know he does.

Probably the ladder. Can't say I'm much better though

tss yeah...his dad fell off one of them mugs

Get off your high horse mr prim and proper

Yes...yes to all these things.

You left out the odor & hygeine practices of his penis and testicles....obese junkies who smoke & drink and regularly bleed from the nose have the freshest smelling undercarriage.

I saw him up close when i sat first row at the cellar a few months ago. I couldn’t smell him but he looked rotten.

Is her still with Daner? Or did she leave him ages ago like a normal person would do?

There is a reason why Anthony leaves an empty chair between him and Artie...

He looks like he smells like a mixture of crack smoke, taint sweat, urine and spilled lite beer. He dresses like he just survived a clothing donation box explosion. His nose looks like a tunnel project that ran out of funding.

arthur lange smells like a drug addict former dock-worker, desperately clinging to the only identity he feels he has left: Italian. reeks of garlic bread, "moe-za-rell," and the latent knowledge that he'll never be white.

"malodorous"
