The Wildhearts

Just added a new interview with Ginger to www.screamingtarts.com

He sounded like he thoroughly enjoyed doing that interview.

Aye! Didn't he just?!!

Yup, caught him on a bad day by the looks of it. Don't think it does anyone any favours answering like that tho.

I like the sound of the xmas Wildhearts tour.

Questions were a bit crap though werent they ?

*bows*

they were, but i think Ginger was abit harsh. still, he's got balls to take the piss out of the interview while it happens.

First things first. The colours and layout on that website will make you go blind if you look at it too long. You might want to consider an overhaul.

IF YOU WEREN'T A MUSICIAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'D BE DOING CAREER WISE NOW?
Re-writing questions for Fanzines.

I've just spat tea all over my keyboard.

Agreed. Imagine you had never heard of the Wildhearts and you read that, would you even bother to check them out or just think "what an ungreatful twat"?

Metal Sludge always seemed to capture ginger in a good mood, but then they always asked him stupid questions which he seems to enjoy more (for instance "would you let someone poo on your face for £100?" etc)

It's only natural though that an interviewer would ask him music related questions being that he is famous for his music and nothing else (well, maybe his hair but you know what I mean).

Yeah, but how bloody boring must it be getting asked the same questions over and over again.

About as boring as it must be having to play Headfuck over and over again.

Can understand both points of view on this. However, I loved the response to the new material question with the answer of denim.

One of my fave band interview misbehaving during an interview was Jimmy Eat World on MTV2. They were asked to do an ident for the channel and say the words: "Hi, we are Jimmy Eat World and you're watching MTV2."

However, the band refused to play ball and kept saying: "Hi, we're Jimmy Eat World and you're watching M2" Seeing the takes edited together it was fucking well funny, especially seeing how worked up the show's producer got about the "gaffe". When he started to blow a fuse the band's singer said: "What have we got it wrong again?", which wound up this poor guy even more. Ha ha.

Yeah, but how bloody boring must it be getting asked the same questions over and over again.

Yeah I totally agree but alot of Musicians would probably refuse to answer the kind of question that Ginger likes to be asked so you can't blame the interviews for keeping it music related.

I much prefer the "daft" interview questions, I was just showing my boyfriend some old metal sludge interviews last night actually but with Ginger the answers tend to be funnier than the questions

I should hope so... You'd have to be interviewing someone pretty useless for the questions to be the funny bit.
