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?

demonrail666 05.17.2008 08:39 AM

Yeah, until he was replaced by some guy called Roland, or was it Alesis?

Cantankerous 05.17.2008 08:54 AM

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)...

Are you serious ?

demonrail666 05.17.2008 06:57 PM

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

MellySingsDoom 05.17.2008 10:30 PM

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.

demonrail666 05.18.2008 06:22 AM

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'?

MellySingsDoom 05.18.2008 09:55 AM

Well, bang on cue, here's Bobby Gillespie telling us what his favourite records are this week:

Glice 05.18.2008 10:10 AM

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.

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.

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...

demonrail666 05.19.2008 09:07 AM

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.

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.

sarramkrop 05.19.2008 12:01 PM

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.
