    I used to like this group

    back in the day but had no idea they were such big-headed tools.

    The snottiest, snoggiest Jesus and Mary Chain interview ever, 1986
    http://dangerousminds.net/comments/the_snottiest_snoggiest_jesus_and_mary_chain_interview_ever_1986
    ? I’m of the opinion that The Jesus and Mary Chain created some of the most beautiful, lulling, sometimes jarring sounds in all of rock ‘n’ roll. But they also gave some of the sourest, most testy interviews of the MTV generation. They were famous for deflecting questions, contradicting interviewers, and refusing to acknowledge any peers or comparable groups. They also lacked no ego when asserting the value and innovation of their own work, describing themselves as one of the few good bands at an overwhelmingly unimpressive moment in music history. Perhaps true, but still, guys! But I found the best one. I found the best Jesus and Mary Chain interview of all. It’s not because their carefully feigned trademark annoyance and boredom is at a fever pitch. It’s not because they undermine every band compared to them, including The Sex Pistols, who Jim Reid later credited with inspiring he and his brother to start a band. It’s not even because Reid is totally screwing with the interviewer, making snide comments on the band’s commercial ambitions to compete with Duran Duran and Culture Club. No, this is the best/worst Jesus and Mary Chain interview...






    Guess they failed to meet their ambitions. And fuck them for calling Joy Division shit.

      Not mad really, just disappointed and surprised.

        The only reason I know who they are is from "The Crow" soundtrack. Always figured they were a studio band.
