graham tire a bout portant sur le reste du groupe ds le nme
cela se passe de commentaire...
since leaving BLUR, GRAHAM COXON has told NME.COM that his relationship with his old band members has deteriorated so badly that he no longer regards them as his friends.
In an NME interview following our exclusive reports on the Blur split, Coxon claims that being told that he wasn't wanted in the studio by their management, rather than the band themselves, proves how badly things have deteriorated between him and Damon Albarn, Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree.
"They haven't particularly acted like my friends," he said. "I don't think they acted as friends would. I probably haven't for years. It's kind of good I don't have to pretend anymore. I think there was a lot of pretending to be friends. I remember Dave, years ago, said in a paper, 'If we weren't in a group together we wouldn't be fucking friends.' We were all (feigns hurt) 'Dave?!' But he's fucking right... in the end we were business partners. Basically. And that's the fucking truth. That's what Blur became as a band."
Coxon claims a lack of communication was integral to the demise. "It's hugely complicated," he said, "twelve years of all sorts of things. Honesty and communication are very important if you wanna keep a group healthy, and Blur never had that. Well, we were having fun, y'know, but it became work very quickly. It just does. You sign to a record company and it becomes work."
Coxon believes Blur's current "professional, commercial" approach to recording is the opposite of what he wants to do. He added: "I think they got more... serious about what Blur was in a more professional, commercial way, and I guess I don't have much respect for professional and commercial. Blur and me shifted. We were always shifting but perhaps that was one shift too far this time. Maybe they'll be brilliant without me, maybe they're at their greatest now! I don't think the story's over with them. They'll carry on. Personnel is now... secondary to what Blur is."

Faut plus se fier au NME...
NME = grosse merdouille pleine de rumeurs....
Pi de toute facon cette polémique a propos de Graham c pour faire de la pub autour du groupe...
La seule chose a faire : Attendre la promo de l'album et les propos "officiels" de Damon et des autres...

On pouvait déjà sentir le manque de communication au sein du groupe : Norman Cook qui demande des nouvelles de Damon il y a qq mois via le nme pour savoir s'ils ont besoin de lui pour l'album, ça fait pas très sérieux tout ça quand même !
Mais bon, si les paroles ont bien été rapportées, je ne vois pas comment Blur pourra assurer une quelconque tournée après l'album et envisager sérieusement de continuer par la suite...

Enfin Damon na pas vraiment fait de "vrai" album solo comme Graham ...
D'ailleurs ce dernier a dit aussi dans le Nme de la semaine dernière n'avoir participé que sur 4 titres du nouveau Blur et qu'il est meme pas sur qu'elle figure sur l'album, mais Fatboy Slim la bien dit a plusieurs reprise le nouvel album de Blur ne sera pas dance mais bien pop/rock ...
Mais c qui qui joue de la gratte alors, bordel
