[kj] From Wayne Hussey‏

[GREG SLAWSON]

I agree--that's a band I never "got" at all (along w/most of the grunge stuff). They just sound like late 70s metal/hard rock to me.

It is true that the US invented punk. It's just a shame that they squandered all that goodwill
by inventing Soundgarden.

Yes, I know. I am just giving it props Nick. Stand down.
 
I don’t really buy into UK humour being the arbiter of funny, despite having a real soft spot for it (Steve Coogan, Eddie Izzard, Billy Connolly, Gervais, and the guy from Black Books). A hell of a lot of my favourite comedians are Yankee Doodles. Bill Hicks. George Carlin. Robin Williams. Eddie Murphy. Steve Martin. Zac Galifinakis. Joe Rogan. Dave Chapelle. 
 
If it wasn’t for Stephen Fry, I’d have to give it to the yanks. As it is, it’s close. (nothing funnier than Flight of the Conchords in the last 5 years though, sorry - NZ wins the gold medal)
 
However, the UK did invent punk. Unfortunately, the UK didn’t invent grunge, which pisses all over punk without an inch of argument room. So…sorry. You’re good starters, but the yanks tend to do the best job. You guys can have Dickins though, whoever the Dickins he is.
 
Am I turning into a faux troll?! ;)

To be honest, it is just plain, simply our standard British humour.

Now THAT is self-deprecatingly, humbly, genuinely funny.

"Well, some good news at last re: The Cult tour! We've just heard that there
won't be a third band added to the tour. It seems that my foot stamping diva
tantrum about not replacing Killing Joke has worked. We are now gonna be
playing for a minimum of 75 minutes! Yeah.
Like many of you I am still disappointed that Killing Joke aren't playing
but again, like many of you, this outcome is the one that I preferred
compared to the options that were put forward. We're busy rehearsing now and
even have two new songs rehearsed which we will be playing throughout the
tour. That'll be the moment you can go to the bar! We're looking forward to
this, hope you are. We'll see you there.
Cheers,
Wayne"
