Favourite Fab Three

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Cope, McCulloch or Wiley?

Must have been otherwise occupied when they hit the headlines. Sorry.

Quality, not quantity. Your top Mac tune is?

Hmm well if he's in crooner mode then it's probably "What Are You Going To Do With Your Life", or "Rust"

But if we're in full on Bunnymen mode then it's gotta be Over The Wall or Back Of Love

Well, the ArchDrude gets his first vote.
How can he not? Just look at him.... 8)

He's done the pop idol thing. He's moved into the realm of pseudo-Kraut rock and not been afraid to experiment with Doom Metal. He constantly re-invents himself and is one of Britains (if not Europes) leading experts on Antiquarian sites. :notworthy:

Favourite Mac tune; Over The Wall. :wink:

One has to wonder which way the Drude would vote....

"Okay, there ends this month’s reviews section and now, after having written so positively about all the great contemporary crop of rock’n’roll artists, I’m sorry to have to turn negative at the final furlong. However, as an Odinist warrior poet motherfucker, I ain’t never claimed to be any of that la-di-da peace/love/dove Zen s**t, so I gots to tell y’all that when I heard the other day that the Bunnymen’s Ian McCulloch is writing his autobiography, I nearly shat my undies laughing so hard (good job I don’t wear any!); Ian Mac write a book? A man for whom completing a single song on his own is a struggle of Everest the Hard Way proportions is hardly going to write a book. Ian, I’m speechless at your continued arrogance in the face of no evidence whatsoever. In my opinion, you’ve been a dried-up shell of a husk of a man since just after OCEAN RAIN, so don’t embarrass us all with your ludicrous claims that you’re gonna write an autobiography. Two words… No Way. Writing a book involves discipline and hard work, two things you never nailed in the past and never will. As I heard it, you even said in the press that your book will be better than the Bible. Well, in two ways it may well be like the Bible: 1) it’ll be full of half-truths and outright lies, and 2) it’ll have been written by umpteen uncredited writers and you’ll name yourself solely as its author. There you go, dumkopf, I just handed you the map: don’t even bother buying yourself a pen, son; just do what you’ve always done throughout your career; get someone else to do most of the work then claim all the credit yourself. I even have a title already: MAC USER. And with that, I shall sweep off into the Beltane sunset. Yowzah!

Oh yeah, and see y’all at Brum Town Hall on May 26th,

Love on ya,

Mac for me even though he called me a "twit" from the stage in '94. Electrofixion gig so maybe he had a point. Best song? Today it's "Show Of Strength".

Never got to into Cope although his books are great and he's written some ace stuff about Van Halen and Montrose on the Head Heritage site.

I quite like the Bunnymen's first two albums, but it went downhill with The Cutter. And I've always thought McCulloch was an affectatious poser. Actually, the cover of Crocodiles is probably their highpoint for me.

And who is the Pete Wylie you speak of? :innocent:
