No Material…No Fear….No Guts, No Glory Dice was at the top of his game when he decided to make this double album, affectionatly known to fans as TDTLD. He stood on stage for a few nights at Dangerfield’s with no material whatsoever….and made a comedy classic not unlike Pryor’s That Nigger’s Crazy and Sam Kineson’s Have You Seen Me Lately?Dice made a ballsy move in doing this album. He wasn’t yet the comic who sold out Madison Square Garden, nor the man who went crazy with TDTLD Part II…avoid that one, BTW. The album was perfectly stated in his routine “…Laughter verses comedy…you don’t have to laugh to enjoy it.” If you love Dice, and you want his albums, then this is the one to get.
A Comedy Classic All right, people–I’ll be the first to admit Dice is no comic genius. He had a good two-year run, made a feature film (Ford Fairlane) that tanked, p.o.ed a lot of people in the process, and you know what? He’s still out there doing it!
