He doesn't, unfortunately.

If anything, he sings "How many of ya'll people know about the quake?" a couple of times before he goes into another song. No full quakes anymore

Much on the contrary, HE should be told that sentence more often than not...

Perhaps it's the "damn" part...

During the Vanguard performance he just grunted instead of saying "damn".

Hate the song

Maybe, but from my first listen to SOTT way black when I hated it and still do When he says "Who In Here Knows About The Quake" it makes my skin crawl

I mean, I don't even know what I can say to you right now. I'm hurt FOR you! Housequake is easily in his top 5 of all dance OR funk songs! Have you ever heard the Razormaid mix? I love that one. Really focuses on the beat and the bass over the sampling and other noise on the album version.

U know I haven't heard it I'll take "We Can Funk" any day over Housequake and for that matter I was happy to see HQ get the boot too

This has a new meaning, when played live - imo....

- after he forced the amazing site housequake.com to close down.

perhaps its an assumption as to why he doesn't say a lot of things.

Maybe that's why he doesn't say it alot anymore

i used to hate housequake too but its grown on me a little. i can tolerate it now. its definitely my least favorite on sott though.

sometimes i get missles shot at me for hating kiss though.

but not from spinlight.

Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard that!!

"It's mainly a spiritual thing" - WHAT?

Jesus H. Christ.

When I saw him this past December, he excluded a lot of what was in the original songs, because...Y'know, he just doesn't swear or anything explicit anymore.

But then he kept making sexual innuendo jokes.

If anyone went to the December 29th gig at MSG you'll remember him saying "She was standing in a puddle...." with a devious look on his face. Repeated it a few times.

But he won't say "Shut up already, damn." Hmn.
