I got the money, you got the soul...

I thought it was "you got the money, I got the sun."

But in fact it is you got the money, I got the soul.

Give me your moneys or I take your sun away.

I can't be bought, I can't be owned...

But anyway here is a pic from that gig, it's the only one, I was too busy enjoying the gig to take more.

Primal Scream turned down an offer to tour America, according to Steven Van Zandt, the guitarist in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, because of the drug problems of "waste of space" Bobby Gillespie.

Van Zandt lashed out at Gillespie in an interview with the Daily Record, saying that Primal Scream "could be the biggest band in the world" if it weren't for their bad habits.

"I tried to get Primal Scream to come over to America several times," he said. "I thought their album before this last one was one of the greatest records in 10 years. I begged them to come over. I had a whole tour for them."

Van Zandt is a highly respected figure in American music, writing hit songs, performing with Springsteen, hosting radio shows and even playing Silvio Dante on The Sopranos TV show. But when it came to Primal Scream, he couldn't get anywhere. "Their agent talked me out of it," he said. "[The agent] said: 'They can't do 20 shows.' I'm like, 'Come on, man. We do 20 shows a month.'"

"Primal Scream could be the biggest band in the world. They are fantastic when they make rock records – once every 10 years. But they can't tour because of drug problems, or whatever. I don't have patience for it. I'm like, all right, you want to be a drug addict, go be a drug addict. Don't waste my time."

:laughing:
There might be some truth in that but if it wasn't for the drugs their music wouldn't be half as good as what it is.

I read an article on Gillespie the other day in some guitar magazine or something and it was pretty much him talking the entire time about how the drugs were a big part of Primal Scream.

aww wow didnt know that

He's a pretty good actor

****in silvio man. you watch sopranos?

I got the box set of all 6 series a few months back after years of being told by my best mate how good it was.

I'm not a big watcher of American TV usually but it's a quality show and i'm watching an entire season roughly every 2 weeks. I'm halfway through season 4 at the moment.
