Do you mean the ones from French Guiana, the Ivory Coast or Bulgaria that live around Pigalle?

I once ordered a Royale with Cheese there (about the time of Pulp Fiction) but the fucker with the McJob didn't know what the hell I was on about so I asked for a happy meal instead.

No, because of our sense of humor barely understood abroad sometimes

Echo & the Bunnymen en concert : interview de Ian McCulloch

"Je suis en train de préparer un nouvel album solo en ce moment, probablement le meilleur que j’aie fait jusqu’à présent."

Here is the article from above with Mac translated to english.

How did you get the idea of giving these concerts?
Ian McCulloch - After the concerts of 2008, where we did not play that Ocean Rain, we thought the boys had certainly heard of us without having yet had the idea to go and listen to our first album. We hope to give them the desire to see for themselves that we are much better than all these new groups. That's how I saw the groups I've never had the chance to see at the time, like the Velvet Underground ... I saw them at the Olympia, but I fell asleep! I was completely drunk, Lou Reed showed up with the worst guitar, the worst haircut and worst jeans I've ever seen. It was very bad.

How are your lives today?
They are much more intense than in the 80's. For me, Pete (de Freitas died in a motorcycle accident in 1989 - ed) was obviously the best drummer in the world but our songs sound more aggressive than when we were young. Thirty years later, I seem to rediscover the meaning of these pieces to understand the emotion that they must escape. I feel like a kid. These are only the titles of four lads from Liverpool.

Today's songs are more important than the group itself. You were not afraid that these concerts are a pretext for the nostalgia?
It was fifty years ahead of schedule at the time so we always have at least twenty years in advance!

Working on a new album?
I am preparing a new solo album right now, probably the best I've done so far. With the group, is thought to it later in the year.

What do you think of the current groups?
In general, I find that most groups today are crap. I like Arcade Fire that said, it's a good group. I listened to a song WU LYF I also liked. I never remember this group because it has a weird name that I can not pronounce. I always wondered what the symbols meant that these groups use as their cross, there ... It looks like something half-pagan, half left, right? Oh, and in general, they are still one million in such groups. A group is four, that's all. I liked Glasvegas too, but they are too weird now. Looks like Bono.

And all the English bands that reform now?
For the Stone Roses, I think it's a good thing for them to go on stage and just play together. I'll be there, it'll be good, as they do not play too many pieces of the second album. New Order is particular: I am friends with them and I would like to make peace. It's a shame they can not agree to replay Unknown Pleasures together. For others, it's a bad idea. I think Shed Seven would not have been formed at the base, then re-form ...

Concert: tonight at Bataclan (Paris)

Bataclan was packed, quite a surprise really.
Sound was great, except bass a bit low and Will's never loud enough :cool:

Ian singing was good too, better than on the Do it clean live CD.
I was not disappointed, and enjoyed to hear both albums a lot !!
For me Highlights were : Over the wall, With a hip, Zimbo (tremendous Will's guitar), Crocs and Going up.

Waiting for the boot to surface now.
Who taped it ??

by **the ghost of guitarplayer** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 6:40 am

Personally, I still think the Crocs/HUH in their full entirety are the best gigs they have done since reforming.

Bunnymen in Paris 2012 !!
