Oh, Jesus cunting Christ, no! A pointless reunion act meets up with the most embarrassing arsewipes in Europe. Please, someone shoot Bobby Gillespie now. |
wow, that sioubds kinda awesome. for some reason that billing makes a lot of sense, both are bands that make you wanna get out of your head and jump around and have a good time. o yea, and they both rule.

i opened this thread with that in my mind (although not the brit-centric words); thanks for expressing them for me, and with such britness no less. |
Gillespie is a total skid-mark. Seriously, the sooner he disappears up his own record collection the better for everyone. He still thinks the world is impressed because he owns a couple of Gram Parsons albums and an original vinyl copy of Maggot Brain. He refers to bands such as the MC5 as 'beautiful' because he still thinks its 1969. Honestly, hero-worship is fine if kept to the privacy of your own home, otherwise it just becomes a bit creepy.

Primal Scream rule, my aunt was friends with Bobby Gillespie and put on gigs with him, he's apparently a really nice person!
|
i love vanishing point, xtrmntr and tons of their songs, but i can't think of more moronic jackasses in music right now than gillespie.
he is a league of his own in a sea of cunts. |

I've met him a few times myself around the time they made Screamadelica and the weird thing is that, at that time he was a nice enough person, it's just that his since then attitude to music really has grated on me. |
Quote:
You're telling me mate, no. 1 of 1 in a Premier League of total cunts. Anyone who equates taking drugs+George Clinton as being "true soul" deserves to have a car door slammed on their cock. |

You must pour many shots of Zubrowka vidka around before serving a Mojito to demonrail666 again. EDIT: I can't spell "vodka" properly - what a cnutwit. |
KICK OUT THE JAMS MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^Nope, you be the first Ms Skull.
|
Wow!!
 I did a bit of research, Scream and MC5 are doing one gig outside meltdown at the Southbank centre. I'm so there, I'm so fucking there... |

Cantankerous, if your in London for MBV then Scream and MC5 are at the Southbank centre on the 24th of June, go and shout a marriage proposal at Mr. G. |
I should say that, so far as I'm aware he's in a steady relationship at the moment - maybe even married - and has a kid. Not saying that you won't be able to prise him from his current domestic bliss, but it might take more than a few adoring heckles at the South Bank. Tell him you're the illegitimate love child of Mahalia Jackson and John Coltrane, or something like that. He'll be slipping a ring on your finger before you can say Che Guevara was a Krautrocker. So long as I can throw grenades instead of confetti at the wedding, it's all good.

i know how to get at him, don't you laddies worry.
kate england watch your pretty little back. |
i dont care.
|
 "Leave me for that yank, and I'll tell everyone you're a closet Stone Temple Pilots fan." |
haha
not the best photo of him i must say.  ^ although he looks to be off his face there. funny enough, i've got a shirt just like that and i got it for free. i ought to wear it more often although it looks better on my boyfriend than it does on me.  sexy time! |
didnt bobby gillespie play drums for a bo diddley cover band in the 80s?
|
Yeah, until he was replaced by some guy called Roland, or was it Alesis?
|
sexy sexy
|
What was the name of this cover band? I'm aware of him being in The Jesus and Mary Chain before Primal Scream, oh yes and between those two a shortlived band called The Wake (I think)...

Errr, you are joking there, I take it...:confused: |

If she is, all's I'll say is she shouldn't sell herself so short.

Oh for the love of a Wimpy Brown Derby, are we still discussing this smelly-bottomed oaf? I have more soul in one of my curry farts than he does in in his whole body. So, er, there.
|
Tis exactly what I thought last night. Surprised that the taste chameleon can warrant such attention. Must I be the one to dispell the magic by informing the masses that in his quieter private moments, he posts on the Nickleback forum under the name 'Grunge-Lives'?
|
Well, bang on cue, here's Bobby Gillespie telling us what his favourite records are this week:
http://music.guardian.co.uk/pop/stor...279748,00.html |
Interestingly enough, Gillespie is the only known instance of a 'Rock star' who really wanted to be a journalist. If Regular Fries had've taken off then maybe Paul Morley wouldn't be on TV so much.
Funny world, innit? That article is just a load of cuntwaste really, isn't it? It's made me want to listen to nothing but Happy Hardcore for a month in penitance. |
Quote:
he's making excuses for being a cunt? did someone steal his meth supply? |
xtrmntr is a fuckin great record.

And I thought I had MY head in the past. For a man his age, it's just embarrassing really. Worse than that, it's just flat out boring. |
Quote:
Hell yeah, Glice. P Scream have made an entire career out of imitating other (and far greater) groups, and have never had their own sound. Why no journalist has ever pulled them up on it, I'll never know. Oh hang on, all the journos love to hang out with Gillespie 'cos he parties so hard... |
To be fair, journos love BG cos he gives good copy (see also Morrissey - another Rock Star that really wanted to be a journo). I think it's the fact that he appears to lack any kind of a sense of humour that really nags me. At least Noel Gallagher is capable of laughing at his own plagiaristic excesses. Gillespie has none of that. He's the quintessential fan-boy-bore and should be lumped in with the likes of similarly earnest types like Weller ... who in a recent interview talked about playing Eton Rifles again because 'the country needed it'. Yeah Paul, just like we needed another outbreak of foot and mouth!

The review of Primal Scream's (incidentally, even their name is steeped in troglodyte apprehensions about 60s 'counter-culture') last album in the Wire pointed out that, while they've never been at the cutting edge of pop, they're always a good yardstick of the current alt-guitar zeitgeist. They are, in fact, Madonna for white boys. Quote:
I like reading Noel Gallagher interviews, and it's a shame that a lot of 'interesting' musicians simply aren't as entertaining as a gobshite like Gallagher. Weller and Gillespie can fuck off mind you. |
Noel Gallagher is sometimes entertaining, sometimes entirely stupid. A recent gem from him was his comment on the furore about Jay-Z headlining Glastonbury. What a twat:
Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher criticised Carter's appearance at Glastonbury, saying, "I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong." But now the hip-hop star has spoken out about his headline slot - and has urged Gallagher to "respect" his musical genre. http://www.pr-inside.com/jay-z-speak...re-r585273.htm |
