NIGEL'S WORDS
"The problem in America is,the 'alternative' scene
isn't alternative anymore.It's just all these metal bands
who cut off their fucking hair.I mean,Live is a really
stodgy old rock group.We don't feel comfortable being
lumped in with a scene like that."
"We find the word 'dick' to be most effective!" In
response to Gavin saying that sometimes the Bushmen get
out
of hand.
"How can we not have paid our dues? What were we doing
before this band? Fucking sitting at home practicing! Most
of us have played enough gigs to say we've paid our dues."
"The reason I decided to become a musician,is because
it seemed better than getting a job at the time,when I was
10." -Nigel,on why he wanted to become a musician.
"Steve Albini was really just into obsurd guitar
sounds.Get a horrible sound and he loves it."
"We walk on differently every night." -Nigel walking
on stage.
"Eighteen months ago we were sitting back home in
Shepard's Bush very afraid that our album wasn't going to
be released at all,thinking,Christ,what now?"
"You can't say that selling millions of records means
that you've got it made.Success means something else for
everybody."
"In Europe you basically never hear rock on the
radio,you hear pop and Michael Jackson day in day out,but
that's it."
"In America you can hear the bands you like on the
radio,In Europe there are only videos which makes it far
more difficult."
"We love playing live and I think every kid who plays
an instrument always has that dream in his head to tour
the States one day,you grow up dreaming about the mythos
of route 66."
