Best thread ever.

omg this thread is hilarious! :D

― Trayce, Saturday, 12 May 2007 16:23 (nineteen years ago)

More Bobby G bullshit to report, anyone?

― Neil S, Saturday, 12 May 2007 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

he won life time achievment award in the nme, and all these fucking dullards like the klaxons were singing his praises. just disgustingly sycophantic. this thread veers into custos territory.

― creme1, Saturday, 12 May 2007 18:02 (nineteen years ago)

Isn't Screamadelica the over-rated steaming pile ever? Only Jah Wobble saves it from being completely worthless.

― leavethecapital, Sunday, 13 May 2007 00:26 (nineteen years ago)

This seems like the thread to point out that at ATP he was introduced by Nick Cave (who he was playing maracas for) as "former Jesus & Mary Chain drummer, Bobby Gillespie".

leavethecapital, listen to 'come together'. it is the best song called 'come together' that there is. just ahead of blur and spiritualized. lol.

Yes, but until that realisation, he is a spaced out dude, everything is art and nothing's going to touch his world. Your broken leg is beautiful to him. A wound on someone's head is a trancendant statement on the link between the life force in us all, and the galaxy in supernova.

-- mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 21 September 2006 07:59 (7 months ago)

I don't remember writing that at all. Must have been me though.

― Mark G, Monday, 14 May 2007 09:39 (nineteen years ago)

Aye, that John Lennon ripped ma song off when ah wis personally invited intae Abbey Road in '69 tae play him ma LaMonte Young rarities ah swapped fir ma ticket to see Calum Kennedy and Una McLean in Mother Goose at the Theatre Royal. Ma maw gie us a right skelpin' when ah goat back hame. Cancelled ma subscription tae Whizzer an' Chips an' a'!

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 14 May 2007 09:46 (nineteen years ago)

Well, if someone erased Bobby's vocals I'd like them a lot more. One of those bands where the voice gets in the way.

― leavethecapital, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

I think America has finally produced its own Bobby Gillespie. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Dimitri Coats of Burning Brides.

― unperson, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

Wonderful stuff!

I like how he has to specify that he only turned his girlfriend on to "the cool Black Sabbath records". El douche.

Has there been a best of thread for vainglorious/asinine press packets?

So this afternoon I have found out that Bobby Gillespie used to be Altered Images' roadie and that Clare Grogan used to call him "Bobo"
