[U]Interview Part 2[/U]

-------------------
(...)
-------------------
SW: What was that with the radio at the 100 Club gig?

JS: Well, all that was...I' d been lucky and bought a cheap transistor in a junk shop for ten bob and it worked quite well. I'd been going around with it on my ear for a few days just to se what it was like. When someone broke a string I got it out and it just happened to be something about Northern Ireland.

MJ: A state of emergency...

SW: Yeah, bombs...I thought it was interesting: I thought maybe it was part of the way you approach your audience.

MJ: That was part of it, but we've tried other things since then, like at the Roundhouse...er...we "talked" to the audience...

JS: But they were half asleep...

MJ: The ones who were awake were pretty clever.

JS: I didn't think so, I mean YOU could hear them, I couldn't. How can I answer smartass jibes when I can't even hear them? All I could hear was some girl saying "nyah nyah nyah!" and then everyone goes "aha, ha, ha" (bursts out laughing.) If you can't hear what they're saying, then you can't really get out your great wit!

MJ: Well, I'm sure they were funny cause everyone was laughing at them, but when Joe said something like, you know, "Fu[U]c[/U]k off, fatso!" there was just complete silence! (more laughter)

-------------------

-------------------
SW: What do you think of bands that just go out and enjoy themselves?

MJ: You know what I think, I think they're a bunch of ostriches: they're sticking their heads in the fu[U]c[/U]king sand!They're enjoying themselves at the audience's expense. They're taking their audience for a ride, feeding the audience s[U]h[/U]it!

SW: What if the audience say they're enjoying themselves ?

JS: Look, the situation is far too serious for enjoyment, man.Maybe when we're 55 we can play tubas in the sun, alright then to enjoy yourselves, but now!

MJ: I think if you wanna fu[U]c[/U]kin' enjoy yourselves you sit in an armchair and watch tv, but if you wanna get actively involved, cause rock n rol's about rebellion. Look, I had this conversation with Bryan James of the ****ed and we were sreaming at each other for about 3 hours cause he stands for enjoying himself and I stand for change and creativity.

JS: I'd rather play to an audience and them not enjoy it, if we were doing what we thought was honest. Rather than us go up and sing "Get outta Denver, baby", and do what we didnt think was honest.

were did you get that from andy?

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]were did you get that from andy?[/QUOTE]
Let Fury Have The Hour.

was it just a big book of interviews?

no, it's a chapter of the book and the chapter is called "the very angry clash" and it's a gay chapter name, but the best interview ever.

"like trousers, like brain!" :lol:

Did I already tell you guys that my friend thought Elvis Costello was in the Clash?

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]Did I already tell you guys that my friend thought Elvis Costello was in the Clash?[/QUOTE]
yep :lol:

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]Did I already tell you guys that my friend thought Elvis Costello was in the Clash?[/QUOTE]

Im going to have to beat this guy up.

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]Im going to have to beat this guy up.[/QUOTE]

No! He's like my best friend, and he's in my new (amazing) band. He said that he saw the Clash tribute thing that Costello was in after Joe died and thought whenever he hears the word "Clash" he sees an image of Elvis Costello.

But I really like his (Costello's) music.

Costello is cool.

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]Costello is cool.[/QUOTE]

I love Armed Forces.

whats the name of your band sean?

[QUOTE=Coma_Girl]whats the name of your band sean?[/QUOTE]

We don't have a name yet :upset:.

What kind of music?



haha, sean, My "band" considered the name Two Dead Seans for a bit. and then we never practiced and broke up

I was going to be in a band with some guys I knew but they expected me to listen to The Bled and actually know how to play my instrument.

[QUOTE=Ska_Pirate]What kind of music?



haha, sean, My "band" considered the name Two Dead Seans for a bit. and then we never practiced and broke up[/QUOTE]

Two Dead Seans... I like that :D.

The only way to describe our music would be... well, we kind of sound like Weezer did on their first album and like AFI did on Art of Drowning.

making a daring return to this thread: i think costello's old stuff is gold. his new stuff, however, is not at all to my liking.

sean what are you playing in your band?

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]sean what are you playing in your band?[/QUOTE]
music. obviously.

instrument.

the clash were playing good music...(lame attempt at keeping this conversation clash-related)

right.




so... has anyone heard the mescaleros' covers of A message to you rudy or Blitzkrieg bop? I really want to hear them, I think it'd be amazing

[QUOTE=Coma_Girl]the clash were playing good music[/QUOTE]

really!? :p

[QUOTE=Ska_Pirate]right.




so... has anyone heard the mescaleros' covers of A message to you rudy or Blitzkrieg bop? I really want to hear them, I think it'd be amazing[/QUOTE]
i didnt know about the blitzkrieg bop cover...i'll try to find it.

"they're going thru a thiiiigh wind"

i always listen to the beginning of police and thieves 20 times in a row cause i like when Joe says that. He was way cooler than Joey.

I bet if Joe went by Joey, his politics wouldn't be taken as seriously. It's hard to take a person name dJoey seriously.

Althought you'd think it would be hard to take a guy named Jello seriously.

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad] It's hard to take a person name dJoey seriously.[/QUOTE]
it's the d that really throws me off. :p

at least his name isn't grover cleveland.

[QUOTE]sean what are you playing in your band?[/QUOTE]

I play guitar.

[QUOTE]I bet if Joe went by Joey, his politics wouldn't be taken as seriously. It's hard to take a person name dJoey seriously.[/QUOTE]

I never thought about that... but yea.

All the John were called Johnny...Johnny Strummer. How ****ty. :lol:

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]

whats Jellos full name?

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]whats Jellos full name?[/QUOTE]

Eric Boucher, or something like that.

Jello = Eric Boucher.

Johnny isn't as bad as Joey as per seriousness, because Johnny also has rebel kind of things attached to it.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Joey

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]Jello = Eric Boucher.

Johnny isn't as bad as Joey as per seriousness, because Johnny also has rebel kind of things attached to it.[/QUOTE]
Are you serious? Jello's real name is Eric Boucher? It's such a deception...I know a guy named Eric Boucher...but he's not Jello and he's kinda gay. :lol:
Is he french canadian or something...

He's from Colorado.

i know what Sandinistia is. it was in my history book. i forgot though. haha. also the word Biafra was in my history book in the same chapter.

Sandinista was a rebellion/revolution in Nicaragua (I think) and the Republic of Biafra was some place where alot of people starved because of some thing that I don't remember.

I think...

Is it possible you have run outa Joe Strummer things to talk about yet? :(

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]Sandinista was a rebellion/revolution in Nicaragua (I think) and the Republic of Biafra was some place where alot of people starved because of some thing that I don't remember.
