I was at his gig in Bristol last night, he mentioned the sex thing then.

Actually he talked an awful lot about sex [during the show] last night...

TheDivineGoat | April 27, 12:03 CET

How were his singing and playing, O Divine Goat?

JudithS | April 27, 12:16 CET

When I saw him at Moonlight Rising in 2004 I asked him how he prepared for the audition for Spike. He went on about great sex then, he kept looking at me saying "you know sex all the time sex? You know really great sex all the time?" Actually yes I do know but having him staring directly in my eyes and saying it to me repeatedly really blew my mind. Not that this is any news here but that man is hot!

Passion | April 27, 15:18 CET

I want details, pictures, videos...
Yes, I truly have no shame.

I hope he doesn't talk too much about sex during the gig on Saturday, which I have tickets for, my husband might not find this amusing, particularly as I bought the tickets for the day after his birthday. Yes, I truly have no shame.

Anybody know why the title of the article is "Richard Marsters?"
ETA: Glad to see they fixed THAT!

...in negotiations with a major record label? neat.

negotiations to release his album on a major label

Hmmm, what happened to "I make more of the money if I release the album myself" James? Selling out already? I'm teasing of course!!! ;-)

James has done a better job of performing his music each time I've seen him, so I'm confident if he keeps working on it he'll become known as quite an accomplished musician in addition to being an extremely talented actor. It's good that a record label thinks he's good enough that they could make money off him!

killinj | April 27, 17:51 CET

All I can say is I wish him the very best of both worlds...as an actor and a musican. I am glad his singing has developed so well, and he really seems to enjoy it, as do apparently a lot of fans as well. If a major recording label considers him a hot commodity...then its all the better. Personally I hope he will get back into acting soon, and I realize I am selfish in this, but I have very little opportunity to see James perform on stage, so I pray he gets back on TV or the Big screen soon.....

kathylovesspike | April 27, 18:03 CET

My favorite part of the interview:

"This interview was recorded on an Olympus digital voice recorder"


....huh? That's like saying, 'notes taken with a Bic pen'...

Anyway, yeah, the Marsters does like him some sex. I've heard that bit before, and I wonder how it makes his current girlfriend(s) feel when he says things like "me and my then girlfriend were having the most outrageous sex I've ever had in my life".

Rogue Slayer | April 27, 18:24 CET

Passion said: Yes, I can imagine that would be pretty unnerving and intense! Did you manage a coherent response or just nod vaguely?

JudithS | April 27, 18:52 CET

"...I wonder how it makes his current girlfriend(s) feel when he says things like "me and my then girlfriend were having the most outrageous sex I've ever had in my life"."

I know I read some "gig" reports that talked about him flirting with a woman in the audience the other night, some thought that she was indeed the "current." My first thought was, I hope the Hell she is or come tomorrow she'll be the current EX, especially after reading about his most outrageous PAST sex... :)

I think "the Marsters" does tend to respond from the gut, without much thought sometimes! Not that I think he doesn't think about his answers but he tends to just lay it right out there for all to see, consequences be damned!

I'm glad too that it seems his voice has gotten the attention of a major record label (hopefully that's not just 'talk'). It was kind of strange that was in the intro though and not part of the interview so who knows where it came from. I'm sure we'll see it repeated over and over in other articles. As too often happens, something unsubstantiated can become "fact" simply because one article prints it.

Or that she is one of several girlfriend he has written a song for, or that he hugged and kissed over 100 women guests at Coventry? Still Liz was with him for three years (the record so far) so maybe the sex was really that good!

“is in negotiations to release his album on a major label.” Whoa, here we go again. James, you should have learned by now not to say anything before it is a done deal. It could jinx the whole thing.

after thought: Have not heard anyone actually mentioned seeing is gal with him so far.

James Marsters has/had outrageous sex! I’ll alert the media. Ooops, too late.

Yeah, the “me and my then girlfriend were having the most outrageous sex I've ever had in my life” could have been followed up with “…until NOW, honey.” I hope he makes it up to her with … outrageous sex.
I like reading the Q&A transcripts more because he’s always a little too 'on' in print interviews, but I always appreciate his unbounded enthusiasm. At least he answers openly and honestly instead of with that pre-fab crapola that makes publicists happy.

“It was just dripping off me.” Hee he hee. Now I’ll be in *my* bunk. Ah, Springtime.

bloodflowers | April 27, 19:26 CET

...returns from bunk for a moment to respond:

Re: Le Marsters "flirting with a woman in the audience." I attended a GotR show last spring at a small club out on Long Island. The Dirty Donkey. The Crazy Donkey. Well...some kind of Donkey. (You get the idea. It was...um...unlovely.)

Anyway, our little sexpot was so over-the-top with the come-ons to the ladies, it was like a Tom Jones show. Caught at least two band members rolling their eyes unfriendly-like at it. A 90 minute show with a hundred-person audience - about 70% female - and James managed to have what might pass as an intimate moment with just about every one of us. Certainly not complaining, mind you, but if I wasn't such a massive fan of his body...of work, I might go so far as to describe it as cheesy. (Endearingly cheesy?) It's just his way, and he knows it works for him.

For a possible comparator for those in the know: my friend who attended the concert with me is an American Idol fan (i know, i know) and she said I have to check out some Greek guy from this season, who in her words "effs the camera and the chiquitas with his every silly come-on...kinda like James did at the Filthy Donkey...Silly Donkey? Well...you remember the place."

All this as a way of saying, perhaps that lucky lady at the gig was indeed the G.F. and having regular, outrageous sex with our dirty little donkey, or perchance she was about to, for the first time, later that night. Either way, jealous, me.

Back to the bunk...

barest_smidgen | April 27, 20:18 CET

"...perhaps that lucky lady at the gig was indeed the G.F. and having regular, outrageous sex with our dirty little donkey, or perchance she was about to, for the first time, later that night. Either way, jealous, me."

LOL. "Our dirty little donkey!" Anyway, I hope aforementioned G.F. is pretty laid back and accepting of the flirting side of Herr Marsters! As barest_smidgen and others have talked about, he sure does know how to work a crowd, very much the performer and if one is the jealous type it certainly could cause some issues.

Trying to get back to topic, I'm glad to see some new press about him, had hoped he might drop a future acting hint there but nope. Does anyone know if this article is the result of the interview before the show the other night? I never caught if it was a group interview or something else.

And yeah, that product placement thing is kinda weird but I see that happening more and more just about everywhere these days.

Thanks for the groovy photos, chums!

By the by, am I the only one who'd like to see our lovely lad give a stylist a go, now that he's so in the public eye? I know it sounds frivolous and even snarky considering my undying love, but i'd be tickled if he'd consider a pair of jeans that ride a little lower, and chose some slightly more relevant accessories? Say, an updated belt or newish man-jewelry? I know, i know. Shutting up now.

(...except to say that if he needs someone in the dressing room to help with these crucial decisions, measuring, etc., i'm the girl. I'm. That. Girl.)

barest_smidgen | April 28, 02:52 CET

One of the things I find endearing about him is that he's clearly just a regular guy who dresses himself. LOL!

killinj | April 28, 03:40 CET

Only if that stylist would recommend he let his hair grow into those sexy waves and curls!

Rogue Slayer | April 28, 03:48 CET

I was telling my mom about his fashon slips and she suggested someone bring him to the attention of the guys on Queer Eys for the Straight Guy (American version.) So I guess you do have some company barest_smidgen. :-)

Although I do find it endearing as well, I hope that he knows when to put forth the right kind of effort. A different kind of look than the ripped jeans could be helpful when trying to raise millions of dollars to produce a film. If he doesn't then, yeah, help would be a good thing.

newcj | April 28, 04:08 CET

I thought what he said about Jossverse fandom was very perceptive. My five siblings and I all watched BtVS but I'm the only one who taped every epi, bought the DVDs and am active online. My brothers and sisters watched every week but the thrill ended when the credits rolled.

And I would love to get a peck on the cheek one day from JM.

Reddygirl | April 28, 04:16 CET

"One of the things I find endearing about him is that he's clearly just a regular guy who dresses himself. LOL!"

I was just thinking something similar today, that you can't knock the guy for NOT buying into the "Hollywood" look. He keeps it simple. I'm glad he CAN dress himself! Except for the occasional wardrobe malfunction, he manages ok - referring to the blow out in his jeans he apparently had at the show the other night! :) I'd rather see someone "real" as themselves, though yes, if trying to go for money, better dress for success!

@Reddygirl, I agree with what you said about his comment the fans.

Grace | April 28, 05:08 CET

Rogue Slayer....couldn't agree more, 'bout the hair.

And i love his "keeping it simple" like the rest of you gals. Jeans and t-shirt is sexy and real on a soulful rocker or aspiring director, when it's natural for him, as it clearly is for James. It's just that there's a reason why lower riding denim has found it's way to Hollywood, Harrogate, Helsinki and Helena. It makes your butt look cute as pie, and what it does for that sweet spot between a man's lower abs and ...sheesh. *fans herself*

Ah, crap. Clearly, I'm responsible for the downward spiral of this already suggestive thread, so I'll just try to gracefully (and belatedly) bow out and say that I swear I have some deep thoughts too...

barest_smidgen | April 28, 05:37 CET

I'm actually hoping the low cut jean fad goes away - I'm tired of seeing people's butt cracks. James fills out the butt in those jeans he wears quite nicely I might add.

killinj | April 28, 06:39 CET

I admire JM for not having a stylist and not giving a rat's patootie for what people think about his clothes. So many people in the public eye these days, from politicians to Hollywood actors, seem so groomed and soundbited and anxious to present just the right image; it's refreshing to see somone be themselves and say what's on their mind without worrying about what people will think about them.

JM might not dress in the latest hippest style but that's one reason he is never bland or beige. He stands out by being who is.

Reddygirl | April 28, 06:57 CET

You ae all very funny. I have enjoyed all the grins and giggles.

Outrageous sex, dripping with it, huh? As Buffy once said to Willow, does he kiss his mother with that mouth? He's fun to follow as a fan, but probably a real challenge to have as a family member or friend or boyfriend. I can see why someone would try to take on the challenge of that last one, though.

sari | April 28, 09:53 CET

Trust me! you haven't * really* needed to spend time in your bunk until you've heard James singing the blues . He's in fabulous voice on this tour and sod the stylist ,he's doing a fine job all by himself .Nice interview in Metro though, managed to grab a copy of it today in between cold showers
( it was raining! get yer minds out of the gutter!)

debw | April 28, 10:30 CET

Reddygirl, I agree with your point about alot of celebrities being too groomed and soundbited. JM is indeed a refreshing change.
His voice has been a revelation on this tour - the blues numbers he's added to his set were a hi-light for me.
The Metro piece was an interesting read.

Shade of Pale | April 28, 11:48 CET

JudithS - in answer to your question if I managed to reply to James once he started his sex-all-the-time answer (I haven't been able to get online and post at all yesterday) - I managed to reply "wow, that's really not what I was asking but, great story, yes"

Passion | April 28, 15:33 CET

Oh, friends -- you're all right, of course. I was just being silly, and I'm sorry. I loved Spike in Zander's ridiculous clothes, and I'd love and respect James if he started wearing Flava Flav's threads. I guess I became antsy waiting for my Civilized Man to arrive (shipped on April 15th?....yeah right) and I started playing Dress Him Up Barbie with James in my head. Pictured him in all my favorites and it got away from me. Wasn't being serious, promise. James is James and thereby lovable.

barest_smidgen | April 28, 16:14 CET

I don't know, I think it's nice when someone in the public eye takes a second to ask a friend 'Does this look alright? Does it make me look like a gigolo/geek/guy who is colorblind?' (Sometimes I wonder if James' clothing choices are really because he thinks they look good, or because he doesn't care how he looks. Of course, that ponderance applies to most men... ;~)

But there are others who revel in James' adorkableness, which I have been known to do on occasion(really, if you haven't seen him dancing....it's painfully adorkable). I just think as a celeb you should be concerned about image. Maybe it's a sad case that you have to be, but in showbiz...your image is everything. And it's just my opinion James could do a bit more with his.

But hey, if he can just 'be himself' and get all the success he wants, more power to him.

Rogue Slayer | April 28, 18:20 CET

There's the image you put out to your fans and then there's the image you put out in a professional setting. I seriously doubt he wears jeans with holes in them to a professional business meeting and I've seen plenty of professional photo shoots of him from magazines where he's cleaned up quite well. Right now, he's playing rock star. Wearing what he wants to wear, rather than being conformed to some bogus showbiz ideal IS an image which actually fits within the culture of the music world. I'm not worried about what he wears. Besides, if a record label does get a hold of him I'm sure they'll have some input regarding image. Hopefully it will be consistant with who he is as a person.

killinj | April 28, 18:48 CET

BTW, there are more photos of James posted on jamesmarsterslive.com. Looks like he's having fun!

killinj | April 28, 22:01 CET

He's looking intense at Stonehenge!
