Mogwai's Barry's burned: guitarist doesn't much like Keith Richards

What a dick. Regardless of what you think, I wouldn't mess with Keef. He might snort your ass

Hardly qualifies as news, surely?

but it's funny in't it?

Very, very funny.

I actually quite like the stones. but not as much as i like it when 'gwai get a bee in their bonnet about someone!

fucker!

how can baz deride keef as being tackily publicity hungry when throughout mogwais career their only PR tactic to promote whatever lady-like "rock action" they are about to peddle has been to step up and deliver a slagging to some ridiculously easy target? the placebo/reynolds girls line is however a thing of quite some beauty. excellent if uninspired tits. much like mogwai.

aprt from the new dates

listened to Exile on Main Street.

One of the crappest things ever written - he could become a star on these 'ere boards.

It's too over the top to be completely serious.

i fucking love it. Judging by the real venom in the insults i would say it was more than a publicity stunt - just someone having a rant, whether justified or not.

Fair enough i say.

But then i do love Mogwai so...

I really miss the rants he used to do on their old web site.

I see no obvious problems with his comments; they seem concise and fair to me.

I'm afraid to slag off Keef you need some kind of status for it to mean anything, until mogowogol? are even bareable to listen to, barry 'The Foetus' burns should crawl back into the whole he came out of.
Also snorting your dad IS cool AND rock and roll, I asked my dad if I could do it to him when he dies, he said "yes".

It's because Placebo are the worst band in the history of the universe.

Regular readers may say this seems to have dislodged the Levellers, but note that I only said THIS universe. The Levellers are pan-dimensionally shite.

i love you. i hate all these politicaly correct pussies.

this was written weeks ago, and they used to regularly let rip at whatever was happening in the world, tour dates or not.

i quite like the one that followed this rant:

Sgt Peppers!!!!! Cool!!!
Great News. Such musical wonders as James Morrison and The Fratellis are to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Sgt Peppers Beatles album by covering songs from it. I for one cannot wait to hear this meaningful idea come to fruition. Only thing is, can anyone really better the genius of "With a little help from my friends". I know Wet, Wet,Wet came REALLY close but it'll take a mastery of music to pull this one off. Such classics as "A day in the life" will surely be so difficult to interpret due to it's subtleties and beautiful piano breakdown. I cannot wait and I doubt you can either. Yeah! Now shoot me in the face with a shotgun.

:)
i'm off to track down the old ones, they were fantastic.

especially when chunklet took over for a while. all still available here though

they dont contribuite to a pixies cover album or something like that...

so glaswegian it hurts

only: Mogwai Fear Satan, 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong, Helicon 1, Helicon 2, Xmas Steps, Helps Both Ways, Chocky, Hunted By a Freak, Glasgow Mega Snake, Yes! I am a long way from home, Like Herod and about another hundred of their songs.

Mogwai are the shit. The Stones are a bunch of crusty coffin dodgers with no ideas.

Mogwai are a terrible, boring band but i do agree with their views about Mr Richards. The Stones havent produced anything remotely worthwhile in the music stakes for at least 30 years. Its so depressing that people will still pay money to watch them live.

What a pointless rant.

but, seriously now, grow up Barry. I'd love to hear someone drunkenly rant all of that in a pub but a sober man? Typing to the world? Plus he's clearly old enough to know better.

Blur: Are Shite was a no-brainer publicity stunt too. How can they accuse Keith of the same behaviour when they do it themselves?

The Stones might well be a bit standard (they certainly never caught me as anything special anyway) but I find Keith quite affable in interviews. If you look at the band's career there are all manner of stories, incidents, anecdotes and memorable quotes. In comparison, Mogwai have just left a trail of bad words.

Oh, and Zidane was boring as sin. They should hurry up and do something interesting again. If they even can.

What a suck ass dude. Piss on him

second that
