The first time I met him he'd caught me by suprise, on a video shoot. I'd arrived at the studio, and sensed an unusually high-octane atmosphere, people running about, grabbing each other as if looking for something. Out of the shadows, a figure all dressed in black, with an aggressive swagger, barges past me. It's Nick Cave. I follow and try to introduce myself, he turns his head and holds my gaze long enough to halt me in my stride. I blink, he's gone.
Then out of the darkness comes a deep howl, followed by a shout of "Who brought them the fucking smack?"
A door at my side bursts open and a large man on all fours charges out, barking like a dog and runs, still on all fours, to the exit. There's more commotion, more people steam out. The young director is visibly shocked, as am I. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have left the building.
So here I was again. It's dark. I've got a feeling of deja vu. The Bad Seeds aren't here, I'm told as I sheepishly approach the dark lord. He agrees to do some set-up shots. Some people struggle in front of the camera; Nick Cave doesn't. His presence oozes onto the film. The first couple of frames and I know I've got enough already, but I plough on, despite my unease at having to look him in the eye for such an extended period, roughly four minutes.
Just as we finish up PJ Harvey appears. Nick Cave stiffens [oo er missus] and idles on over, and he's either casting a spell or one is being cast, it's hard to tell. The two are called to set and start their performance. Theres more than just a spark, the room is electric.
"OK cut for lunch!" shouts the director. Of run Nick and PJ, out of the door, they're gone. Half an hour later they return, loooking like they've done a couple of rounds in a haystack and finish the shoot. The atmosphere remains intense throughout - real Gone With The Wind stuff.
