Makita = Yamaha That''s nice, but my Fodera drill has a fanned chuck! So there!

23.05.2019 - clashmusic.com interview: "Deeply passionate about music, his recall is incredible – we’re here ostensibly to discuss Primal Scream’s new singles compilation ‘Maximum Rock ‘N’ Roll’, the band he formed in the late-’70s and guided through indie pop, rave, Stones-esque country soul and beyond..." Does this shine any light on Mr. Gillespie's most recent utterances?

Quite...

What time are you on? I'm out and about on Sunday, but will make it if I can. 👍

Now there is an album I'd buy!

Nah! If Fodera made drills, they'd have 47,000 settings - none of them useful for anything practical; would be made from rare materials that are not resistant to dust & have 'fanned' directional drilling!

Stirrer!

Indeed! Surely there's a whole massive new thread right there! That'll keep BCers arguing for evermore!

Yep, they realised that they'd done all they could in the music industry, and decided to move on to pastures new...

Bang on! For me, this sums up music constantly evolving. 👍

I really like Primal Scream, but if I was to be horrid, I'd say that the only reason they came to prominence was due to Andy Weatherall re-mixing Loaded. Bobby G said himself about acid house music "I always remember being quite fascinated by it but not quite getting it." I think that they've made some excellent music, but I'd not take his word for the demise of a whole type/ style/ genre of music.

Do you mean 'good, but awkward'? "What you want there, mate ( ) ya gots ta get yerself a Makita - the propa working man's drill" (bass equivalent = Yamaha.) *Your mileage may vary; the author has no affiliation with brand/s mentioned; your home is at risk if you start drilling stuff willy-nilly)

Maybe rock has nothing more to say for Bobby Gillespie - as a jaded, millionaire rock 'star' whose band (who I have dearly loved) haven't produced anything interesting for quite a while. His statement might have more to do with his lack of relevance than the real state of music. I seem to remember hearing that someone from Decca Records told the Beatles that guitar music was 'on the way out' in the 1960's; that rock had become jaded just before Nirvana and grunge hit the airwaves; that guitar bands were passé, then along came The Arctic Monkeys et al. New types of music will come along, and this is a good thing, but that doesn't mean that styles of the past (jazz, rock, country, classical, disco etc...) die out - they continue to evolve. RAWK RULEZ!

I would never stoop to body-shaming a fellow BC-person, Rich!

...you'd have been very proud? ...you'd have preferred it to Ric*en*cker threads? ...you'd have expected it to be in a thread about 'heft'?

I think that's just an alder-ego. Still, he seems to be very poplar

Fab set list!

I woodn't know I think that they're barking up the wrong tree trying to find the culprit...

Mmmm... Something like this?

Nice one! 👍

Hiya FM - nice forum name!
