Under-the-ground Just read on twitter a statement from Martin Duffys son. Gillespie & Innes don’t look good. Apparently they stiffed him of his credits & was paid as a session musician. Didn’t the same happen to Denise Johnson & Throb? I gave up on Primal Scream when Mani left. Seems they are proper bread heads not of the people as Gillespie keeps banging on about. I find him tiresome nowadays . Hypocrites.
Misura Flaneur I know there's always two sides to a story, but they don't come out of it well. It always surprises me how bandmates turn on each other over money. It always seems that any one time, someone is trying to work an angle to stiff a supposed friend.
fulmine Always two sides of course and the session musician thing isn’t unusual these days, especially with bands of a certain age, but you do worry that they probably thought this was all “legendary rock and roll behaviour”, that Duffy was their Bobby Keys or something and that all great bands need a bit of evil in among the myth-making. I’d be so pretty proud to have a son like that. Hope he’s doing OK.
Reggie_Perrin fulmine Alan Price takes all awards for getting his name on The House of the Rising Sun as " arranged by". Burden fucking hates him.
Odd_Job Under-the-ground it’s also the alleged reason Gillespie and Dougie Hart left JAMC, the Reid brothers paying them only as ‘session musicians’. The abused becomes the abuser in Gillespie’s case, it would seem.
Travis_Bickle I feel slightly more vindicated in my long-held stance that he's a talentless chancer with a decent record collection.....
fuzzy Cooley Denise was massively loved in Manchester. Everyone who knew her would tell you what a lovely person she was. Pair of shithouses in my opinion. Gillespie can't sing for toffee anyway, the insipid ghoul.
Under-the-ground When mani & throb was still knocking around they were a superb live band. They could really motor. After those two left I just lost interest
Jon He’s one of those kind of socialists? Anyone surprised? I love a lot of their music. I’m not sure how much credit Gillespie could take for any of it really though. Without Weatherall they’d have folded a long long time ago.
