[kj] Big Paul on Punk - Brighton Magazine

Wed Sep 16 18:42:35 EDT 2015

Not standing up for His Ghroliness (although his drumming on 2003 is shit hot), but on the ISO Scale of Professional Rockstar Assholery, with Karen Carpenter at one end and Axl Rose the other, surely Grohl’s ‘only just begun’ - and where would Jaz go?

I hate Grohl

Big Paul told me an awful story about his rudeness which made my loathing even greater!

Well done and congrats.  I'm tired of everyone over-worshipping the cancer curing, famine relief, save the world kind of great guy that is Dave Grohl

Just to close the circle on this, the writer of the piece wrote back to me:

"A request for interview went unanswered but wanted to publicise the album/gig. Sorry, no disrespect was intended. Have taken down article and made further request via pr company.

Such a great band.

Again many apologies

Mike”

I told him to always cite his sources …. and to re-think that line about Grohl.

Good for you.

Edit: I've changed this thread title as is was BPF's quote not Jaz's!

I shot a nasty little note to them. But, y’know, whatever.

My original interview, lest I haven’t flogged this to death here:  http://vassifer.blogs.com/alexinnyc/2006/03/interview_with_.html

The quotes about not being punk were taken (without credit, I might add) from the interview I conducted with Big Paul back in 2004. 

People suck.

"I'm never quite sure whether to be offended by the question of 'are we Punk' or not, because, I loved Punk music, but we weren't. Our influences were beyond Punk." He mentions Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Yes and King Crimson.

The writer claims "the Killing Joke we know today were birthed" when "Dave Grohl guested behind the drumkit..." ???
