How did you first get to know them?<br /><br />MM: Well, they came round to see me. Or at least a couple of them did, Bob Calvert and Nik Turner. Bob wasn't in the band at that time, but Nik Turner obviously was. And they just came round to ask me to do some lyrics. The thing was, everyone was in Ladbroke Grove or Notting Hill at that time; there were bands everywhere, and you felt that there was something wrong with you if you didn't play some sort of fretted instrument! Almost everybody did, and I'd been in bands before that; right from the 50s; I'd been in a skiffle group, and I made that transition to blues, R&B, the way a lot of people did. And then I'd kind of given it up because I found it was more comfortable to sit there working in a chair than sitting in the back of an old van, and then being screwed when you got to a gig, the usual sort of crap. So I just stopped doing it. I've said this a lot of times but I think it's actually worth saying: a lot of us did this, we went for rock & roll and science fiction because they weren't respectable, and there was no criticism at all. There were no magazines that dealt with it; there was no body of criticism. There was nothing. Melody Maker, if you were lucky, you got a cartoon of Elvis Presley in the back, and they didn't think it was going to last.<br /><br />Q: It was a jazz paper, back then.<br /><br />MM: Exactly. But it was something that you could make of it what you wanted. So you went into the studio - when you went into the studio - not really knowing what you were going to do. And sometimes it was better than you thought it was going to be. Sometimes it was bloody awful. But again, it was just that sense of having something that was your own. I think that gaming [role-playing games, such as Dungeons and Dragons and Runequest, which frequently drew on Moorcock's work] became that for another generation, and there's other stuff that goes on. I think if you're 18, you're always going to be looking for something where there isn't your dad telling you, you know, how it should be or how it used to be. You'd rather somebody said "what the hell are you doing, wasting your time?" Now it's a respectable career. "Dad, I want to be a rock & roll musician!" "Okay, we'll send you to rock & roll school!" And it's just not, you know, who wants to do that?Helmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584102280299430293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-15438164530840975652010-11-25T09:41:06.848-08:002010-11-25T09:41:06.848-08:00I'll just leave this here.

You will be glad to know that I have ridiculed him for the shitty band name many times. At least they aren't Christians, though. Far from it. They aren't my cup of tea as far as metal goes, but they can shred on occasion.KickinAssTakingNameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581542028842382505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-21999340902318329362010-11-22T11:50:21.916-08:002010-11-22T11:50:21.916-08:00This post is a good marker for future referral. Yo...This post is a good marker for future referral. You've captured the whole thing, maybe that one new band isn't christian or that other one isn't hardcore, but they're all doing it because it's easy. If you're in a band because it's easy, you've fucked up. If you've sacrificed nothing to write a fucking metal record, then it's worthless. What comes out is, if you're lucky and super-talented, only one tenth as potent as what went in the creative process.Helmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584102280299430293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-32466580691722750602010-11-22T11:21:37.173-08:002010-11-22T11:21:37.173-08:00I shoulda known fat boy with the classy moobs was ...I shoulda known fat boy with the classy moobs was the 'keyboard player'.
