Thank you so much!

Much appreciated!

I don't see what people are saying is "knobhead" about that interview, apart from the war stuff, which is absolutely in character for "Colonel Kurtz". But on another level it's trolling; the kind of thing Gary Numan fell into in the early 80s, praising Thatcher because all the fashionable pop stars were doing the opposite.

I don't see him as a knobhead in the interview, sometimes quite trite and opposite as you say. I mostly see him though as a spoilt public schoolboy who complains when his record does n't sell.... maybe if he'd have stayed with Hussey, Adams and Marx he may well have been playing stadiums. (and no I'm not trolling)

Well, Marx went off, and so did Adams and Hussey. And are they not all still playing "stadiums" at festivals? Just for the facts.
Beyond that, he behaved as he used to quite from the beginning. With his own special sense of humour and a good portion of
opinionated provocation... ... Maybe now musicians would rather try to come over as reasonable as possible for the sake
of say, social points, but those were other days.

i remember thinking at the time that the first Gulf war was justified in as much as the UN had a responsibility to stop rogue nations invading others.. i dont see Eldritch's opinion being that different.
