Oct 02, AM. This Quote Is From. Details if other :. We bridged many, many gaps between working class and middle class and made the world a slightly better place; and definitely opened the doors for many, many new bands. And he seems to resent that. The article, really, was put together with an attitude that was negative right from the start. Of which there is none.

One of my biggest enemies is other people perceiving how we are with each other. That is not a bitter thing. That is light-hearted. This writer has no understanding of British humour, or European humour, or how the world actually works, and what class distinctions create.

What sort of angle is that? They are manufactured and manoeuvred into market places to sell. The bottom line is the Dollar bill. And this is from the so-called intelligentsia. Yet again missing the point because they are over elaborating on their own presumptions. You can not presume what the truth is. The truth is there for all to see. I wrote the songs, I sang them, and I did my job well. There it is. And in fact, I quite happily turn many down. Yeah, I know. And that does frighten them.

The industry is wrong. Not me. It is utterly and completely corrupt. And magazines like this absolutely toe that line. Because you will be ignorant. It completely lacks passion and love of music. They seem to have made a career out of it so far. And apart from anything else, what was the weird bloody wedding photo nonsense!

What is the high-art going on in that! And added a few of their own! I think it was a hose-pipe they used rather than an airbrush! It looks like a rubber wax work! How did you manage to get involved in that! I had nothing to do in January and it came up. What grabbed my attention was the fact it was a hell of a lot of bands that we had to listen through. Most of them playing three songs, but their own songs.

So it was a songwriters approach from live music; and how can I fail but find that interesting. So I did it.

Some of them are quite interesting. If a couple of credible bands come out of it, rather than the usual karaoke pop trash then great.

And to give that opportunity to a whole bunch of acts is wonderful. More than happy for them. The winner gets a recording contract with Bodog? Which is a good thing in many ways, but you can see where the cracks and chinks in the armour could be! And out of nothing comes something. Many, many different kinds. For me, I immediately voted off any of the shouting acts! You know, people who just grab the mic and yell at you.

The pressure on them was unbelievable, unbelievable. And so you never be spiteful to people in that position. I base it on exactly what I like when I hear it. And what I immediately feel. My heart is quite open. To me all music is knowledge. People giving you an insight into how they perceive the world. The concept of listening to nothing but punk music is not punk.

Not at all. You have to be open to everything. We were looking for the right answers not the convenient ones; and hence we are not Parker Posies. How did the series work? Did the bands play full sets or just do one song? The Hall of Fame! Did you put some urine in the wine!

The curator was very proud to show me it. It was the anonymity of the judgement that worried me. On that first night, there was so many bands I lost count. Some of them did three numbers, some two, but it was a good 15, 20 minute set coming at you. And after the first 21 bands things merged! But very many of the bands were in the same kind of genre, and some were kind of parody.

But very many different styles.
