Fecko and the Bunnymen? Noel Burke Speaks!

Great, great interview. Thanks Brian and thanks to Noel Burke for being a great sport about it. He didn't shy away from anything.

Good stuff.

[JackT]

Damned fine job, Bri.

Great, great interview. Thanks Brian and thanks to Noel Burke for being a great sport about it.

He was indeed a good sport. Now I feel a tad guilty for my reaction to seeing them live.
just a tad.

[rusty]

Very interesting interview. Great to get another viewpoint. Thanks Brian and Noel!

[Kounelaki]

Nice work, Brian.

cant disagree with the good sport bit

to be honest i got a bit bored half way thru

Will in particular has a real genius for atmospherics

never has a truer word been spoken

nice work brian

whos next?

[black francis]

I'm free for an interview

[crystal daze]

Good stuff Brian.

When I think back to those times I always think of us laughing - I'm sure there were a lot more successful bands out there who were a lot more miserable than us.

Like Bunnymen Mk 1 for example?

[Mr. Brian]

whos next?

Who would you like? I'll ask anyone if you have a way to contact them. It can't hurt to ask I suppose. For the record, Will did not respond to my inquiry for an interview. I'd love to do a technical interview with him similar to that Guitar magazine interview. I think Les said everything he needs to say in a recent online interview. I'm always open for suggestions.

This was unique in the sense that this period of Bunnymen history has been officially shunned and would never happen on the official site.

I'm really glad you all enjoyed the interview.

I think he said some good stuff in there and it's clear to me that he went into it cautiously knowing it couldn't last but determined to make the best of it and have a good attitude. I am so happy he was not grumpy, petty and bitter and was realistic and thoughtful. It really shows what he's made of.

That was a funny story about the Chinese guy who always wanted to give him free drinks and I had not realized that by the end they were not really doing any Mac songs. According to Steve's Recording List (see the links section), only "Silver" was being played live at later shows.

By the way, I checked out that School of Language band he mentioned and I like them quite a bit. There is a link in the interview.

[Red]

yeah, that was a great interview! thanks! he sounds like he really fits in with Will and Les and their whole attitude towards life and the music business!

[Fish Hook Girl]

For the record, Will did not respond to my inquiry for an interview.

So you did ask? I was half joking when I asked if you would. Thanks for being a good sport and for trying!

I'd love to do a technical interview with him similar to that Guitar magazine interview.

That would be a great interview. It's a shame they or he won't consent.

[Mr. Brian]

yes I really asked. I asked via his Glide forum. I know he read the PM because it was gone from my Outbox. Maybe he just forgot. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since he is hands down my favorite guitar player and influenced me greatly. It would have been nice however to at least get a response, even if it was just to decline for whatever reason. The whole reason this site and forum exists is because we are all huge fans, warts and all. I really hope they all understand that despite a lot of negativity that gets presented on the forum here.

[JackT]

Hey Brian, did you run any of my Noel Burke jokes by him? I think he would enjoy them.

[Mr. Brian]

Hey Brian, did you run any of my Noel Burke jokes by him? I think he would enjoy them.

No, but he is aware this thread exists. I did tell him I have your address in case he wants to send over some associates with some pliers and a blowtorch.
