Spacemen 3 Interview

[kinslowdian]

Is that a scottish Michael Ivins from The Flaming Lips?

[sydbarrett5]

@kinslowdian Ha! I was thinking the exact same thing!

[kevinno0]

haha the question about the letter g is great. hes like, naw its e

[chubbyfacejohn]

We'd be some kind of cocktailll... Love it.

[rodninio]

I know someone, who knows someone, who knows Alan McGee quite well.

[minedarea]

'Can't have been G, cos we didn't play G at that stage'

Coming from any other band that would be a bizarre statment.

[chubbyfacejohn]

@minedarea Haha, yeah, true. It was their kind of obsession.

[servoscum]

fucking awesome band

[jandean61]

SPACEMEN3 ARE SCOTTS ?

[messthetics]

[TenderHistoryInRust]

[chubbyfacejohn]

Well, someone HAS to talk.

[lovespoiled]

[Dilber77]

[arockj]

[cwbellor]

Wow, McGee really did look like a member of JAMC back then. Now he's kind of a square.

[sleepyerick]

spacemen 3 !!! yeah!!

[sonor23]

Government is a burden on the people . They got that right .

[420allday69]

[sonicjay007]

yeah i guess..looking at your profile list of bands you like the same kinda stuff as me..'the brian jonestown massacre'now thats one 'modern band'that carry the mantle of spacemen3 and others...

[sonicjay007]

also seeing the bjm tonight in portsmouth uk cant wait!

[morninglory1095]

What the fuck? Alan Mcgee interviewing spacemen 3? *CREAMS PANTS*

[chubbyfacejohn]

@morninglory1095 Yes, that was my first reaction.

[sonicjay007]

no bands like this anymore soo sad..

[WaitingxxRoom]

wow cool accents lol

they remind me of joy division

not their music but the way they talk n stuff sounds like ian curtis

[llanbo]

"but the way they talk n stuff sounds like ian curtis "

What?! Middle-class boys from Northampton don't sound anything like gruff working-class tories from Macclesfield...

Spacemen 3 are a far superior band to JD. mind ,-)

[Tenebrae2347]

I'm scottish too btw. Grow a sense of fun, man!

[Tenebrae2347]

Hahaha

'Dope smokin lay aboots!'

Brilliant :D

I've been obsessed with the 3 since I was 15 and took my first trip, but damn, thats a funny comment!!

[crelp74]

McGee rocks! Put a tag of him too!

[FinalProgram]

Jason later complained that Pete always talked for the group and that the rest of the band never had a chance to express their opinions. I really don't understand this. Jason can't blame Pete for being more articulate and talkative during interviews.

[jeebsg23]

Yeah, It's funny that he said that since he just stays quiet in most all thier interviews. I've seen some where Pete is looking to Jason for input or to give him a chance to have a say and Jason says maybe a sentence and becomes dead silent again.

[chubbyfacejohn]

@jeebsg23 Yeah, that Transmission interview is like that. I love the interview, but it's true that there's only one thing Jason says and I can never quite catch what he's saying. It's a bit like the McCabe/Ashcroft interview. Guess who does the talking there. ^^

[chubbyfacejohn]

@FinalProgram I agree. He never said anything bad about the group anyway. Jason sometimes makes him appear like some kind of egocentric bastard. It's true that Pete does have some kind of ego, but not as extreme as Jason made it look. Or still does, I dunno, I think it's kind of calmed down now, even though Jason still seems... pretty quiet when it comes to that topic. ^^ "No, I still haven't mellowed about him..." Hello...

[nast999]

dont buy drugs at the weekend buy their LP

[the0scarlet0piper]

statements like that made me wish i had a job

so i could buy both

[inafix]

yeah!

[DaDazey]

Yeah that's Alan McGee, and no it's not the Mary Chain bassplayer!

[blacklightposter]

This band and the scene it came from would eat MTV clones alive ! Pretty funny that some would take the time to criticize true art though. Maybe some fashion-slaves just aren't satisfied unless it's Justin Timberlake, or Brittney Spears. Or better yet, how about fake mass-produced plastic gangster-rap fad-riders, whom live in all white neighborhoods. Nice, isn't it.

[spaceman68]

dope smokin layabouts  "YOU FUCK" you no nothing about this band their body of work together and individualy is not only extensive but the vast majority is awe inspiring. go back to listening something more intune with your ignorance. YOU FUCKIN ARSEHOLE.

[broccolibloom]

hey man i'm sure Pete Kember and co had a sense of humour aswell.. i think badmev is probably scottish, i am aswell, thats why i understand his wit.

[badmev]

away with the fkin fairies..dope smokin lay aboots

[johnfuego]

Why does this stop after 41 seconds?

[tomuchshoegazing]

It doesnt stop there for me

[johnfuego]

That is Alan McGee, no?

[tombassman]

IMHO best band of the 80s, and one of the best bands ever.

[sonicmilk]

Is that the bass player from Jesus and Mary Chain?

[charlotteyeye]

wow, they re amazing
