Faits et réponses avec Mr Coxon plus prolixe que jamais, à l'appui lors d'échanges divers et variés sur l'officiel...
Itw d'un des gars de la prog, suite à l'étonnement du rappeur de Brooklyn en headlinin...(source : the independent)
It had been difficult to secure a name big enough to hold down the headline slot on Saturday night. “We got a bit of a kicking this year,” said Emily Eavis, Michael’s daughter, the festival organiser.
First, Radiohead turned them down, preferring to do their own outdoor shows this summer. Blur showed some interest in temporarily re-forming before their singer, Damon Albarn, got cold feet.
Réponse inattendue du Tourtel boy
A la question, est ce que quelqu'un sait pourquoi Damon à refusé il balance :true enough.. blur were asked.. got a call from manager and said i was up for it...as did dave and alex.. damon waited apparently until we 3 had said we dug the idea before saying he didnt.
A la question est ce que tu aurais eu une idée de chansons ou de setlist à jouer :i think it was because he imagined it would smell a bit too much of "doin it for the money...." which kinda made me laugh/frown bearing in mind other projects he has been involved with which had something to do with him also saying "..and i dont need the money"
glasto did offer quite a big some of money....but i dont think tats the problem..according to stephen street damon said that because he is now working with such incredible musicians goin back and doing a bit of work with blur would feel like a terrible step backwards.
er... Laughing
i just thought it would be a nice positive thing to do..a giggle and i thought alot of kids would really dig the show. i think damon is just a bit scaredy cat to be honest.
Plus loin dans la discussion, quelqu'un suggère qu'ils n'ont qu'à jouer à trois sous le nom Blur, mais que Damon les en empecherait surement...sad thing is..i dont remember so many songs!!
i was playing " no distance.. " on me sofa the other day and struggled a bit..haha..
so it would be the ones i remember..
probably a tonne of popular ones and a few b sides.
"theres no other death of a pop scene" kinda thing...a bit of a knees up.
if blur was to do it it would have to be a celebration of why people liked us rather than an "arty" contrary set. there are times and places for that but not on a glastonbury stage...a set like that would be an arrogant statement...but then again damon seems full of those at the moment.
Et la probalité incongrue de chanter sans le chanteur originel:he actually couldnt do anything about it..the same as i couldnt if i'd wanted to. contracts, dear boy!!
On le sent alors un peu énervé sur le fait que Damon EST Blurpink floyd did it a few times
Sur le fait de jouer du think Tankis blur like the fall in that case? just the singer with whatever musicians are around?
if you take the lead vocal off blur songs damon isnt on most of the songs at all
Assez amusant à lire, on le sent vraiment motivé pour jouer du Blur, l'argent doit évidemment peser dans la balance, mais à faible importance, et puis c'est un moindre mal, à partir du moment ou le groupe joue à fond, qui s'en plait, on aura été tous ravi des sets incroyables des Pixies ces dernieres années ne cachant aucune ambiguité sur la reformation motivée par l'argent...i dont mind...blur is not our own. blur is your property in a way. it would be in that kind of spirit. i'm not proud... Laughing
Plus encore Alex en remet une couche ds sa colonne d'aujourd'hui!
On peut se demander ce que ça veux bien dire cette histoire de maman du Dam, certainement une blague, ou l'attitude un peu fuyante d'Albarn(genre t'es une tarlouze mec), ou tierce personne qu'on ne connait pas...Blur very nearly played Glastonbury this year, and there was a pang of regret when I heard Damon's mum had nixed it at the eleventh hour.
I was looking forward to showing off to Claire and the kids, but I suppose the important thing was to have been asked, and listening to all that screaming I felt pleased about how things had turned out. I'm sure it'll happen one day
Et pour la route une bonne vanne de Graham en cadeau dans le topic Noel Gallagher vs Graham Coxon (débile à souhait)
Un quidam se permet de dire que Grham à certainement une meilleure technique mais que Noel connait mieux son instrument, réponse de l'intéressé
Enorme.Laughing damn! when did noel find out his guitar was made of wood??
i dont count noel as a guitar player at all to be honest. he strums and then plays solos but mostly along the lines of the blues scales...beginners stuff.
i dont think he would be able to play the guitar at all if someone removed the dots from the neck of his guitar...
