New Wildhearts interview!!

[Orient]

no some of metal sludges questions out-humour the answers, I remember reading one with the singer from Bowling for soup, the questions were hilarious! or maybe it's just my sense of humour lol

[Sarc]

One of the funniest interview out takes i ever saw was when the Almighty where on Noisy Mothers at half two in the morning and they kept calling their album Wank instead of crank and the reaction of Floyd when told they couldnt say it was fantastic he nearly fell off the chair and his voice rose about fifteen octaves screeching "BUT ITS FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING"..............well you had to see it to understand how funny it was...........Taxi for one!!!!

[weebleboy]

Canny interview, the downer part being the "summer festivals" question, cos I'd heard from a few sources that they were negotiating for download, unless that went tits up for some reason. Bugger. The Wildies and the Babies would have made Download 07 the best ever, now it's just good.....

The colours and layout on that website will make you go blind if you look at it too long.

Pah! Whats wrong with it?!

Got to say, as someone who stands up for pretty much everything he does - the setlist on this tour (ace), The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed (ace), etc. etc. etc., I also agreed that those questions were pretty banal... but where I disagreed was that I thought the responses were pointlessly petulant. Not everyone coming to that site is a Wildhearts fan and they won't gain any new ones as a result, that's for sure.

Bright purple plus black background and white text is very harsh on the old eyeballs.

Being a Wildhearts/Ginger fan, thought the answers were funny, especially the "Well thats technically a statement" But if you hadnt heard of the Wildhearts youd read that and think what an ungrateful Twat, like one of those movie stars that earn Billions a week and moan when they are asked for an autograph,

But respect for Ginger for not pretending to be happy with the same old question....

Bright purple

It's pink dammit!

Having read the interview, I can see Ginger was in a bit of a snarky mood, but it was possibly justified given the questions. Bit upsetting that he hates playing old material live.. :/

You could always, um, tone down the saturation of the purple background colour. It does distract from the site's content.

Given that everybody seems to acknowledge that he's being a piss taking, sarcastic fucker throughout this interview, why is everybody taking this one answer seriously?

I mean, does anyone seriously believe he lets the drummer pick the setlist?!

..because we're worried it's true.

Nah, I know, you're probably right.

Fairy Nuff.

Everybody says that though, and very few actually follow through (and the ones that do tend to backtrack fairly quickly when the fans a) complain, and b) stop showing up... ).

I think it was KittyK that suggested that this may have been a virtual interview i.e. email which would go some way to explaining his apparent disinterest and less than inspired responses???

I don't think there's any doubt about that. I'd have hoped that a person wouldn't have just ploughed on through questions that were getting an obviously negative response.

I suppose it's one way to ensure they ask someone else next time.
