although I'm pretty sure that quote is out of context in an attempt to get people to purchase the magazine.

... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

If you can name a single issue of NME in the last 15 years that hasn't had an article on Oasis, I'll personally mail you an autographed glow in the dark Bon Jovi hair pick from "The Slippery When Wet Tour".
Anyways...
Interesting qoute from Eddie -mind you it's likely taken completely out of context".
But it pretty much goes against what's he has said in the past.
The band as well as Eddie have admitted several times over the years that the things that Cobain was saying about the band in the press really hurt their feelings.
I'd really like to read this article.
He's actuall referring to Kurt Russell.
for the least they could possibly do
oasis has technically been an indie band since heathen chemistry i believe. or maybe it was don't believe the truth. they are under noels "big brother" label. and radiohead? do you not remember how they released in rainbows? clearly that was an independent release. self released actually.
i thought he was referring to vonnegut
most of them are definitely indie bands...
Oasis were on Creation... indie label...
Arctic monkeys - Domino ... definitely indie
The Cure - Fiction .. definitely indie
The SMiths - quite possibly the UKs most indie band.. Rough Trade records signed them after they were courted by every major label in the UK..
when Creation signed them they were still being run as an independent label also... Sony did snap them up but Creation were given carte blanche..
I wish I'd heard 'Diffident' !
the full quote will be "I couldn't give a shit what Kurt thought about Bobby Ewing coming back to life in the shower"
and they didnt even play Last Exit
fucking hopeless journalism... i'l probably still buy it though
The "I couldn't give a shit what Kurt thought" quote is actually from Jeff. He says he was only hurt by what Kurt was saying back then because he knew Kurt was speaking for Mark Arm, which reminded him that his friendship with Mark still needed repairing.
Some of the quotes from the band are interesting, but the whole article is basically the NME attempting to justify to its readers why it is covering Pearl Jam at all. "You shouldn't dislike them just because Kurt said they were shit, even though that is the stance we've taken for the last 18 years!" It was always about the Melody Maker if you wanted Pearl Jam coverage back in the day. It's also terribly edited, I suspect the journalist wrote a much more coherent piece, but then the editor gave it three pages (with one a big photo) and suddenly the whole thing had to be hacked to pieces.
Finally, the bit where the writer explains he spent half an hour with Stone and Mike "an affable pair who talked a lot about, erm, guitars, and so won't be featuring in this piece" broke my heart. Next time you want to spend half an hour talking to the UK press, fellas, talk to Guitarist magazine! Maybe then your time won't be completely wasted and your words will reach their intended audience. Half an hour talking guitars with Stone and Mike sounds like heaven to me
my first time buying nme in years, now i remember why i stopped buying it.

It's a shame that Melody Maker folded as they did give Pearl Jam a lot of coverage back in the 90s, many covers and some really good articles.

I'm pretty sure the Kurt quote came from Jeff though.

The NME were really positive in their reviews of Yield, Binaural and Riot Act though - they all scored highly.

I mean why would that be such a bad thing.
I think its kinda refreshing they wouldnt hang on the words of a junkie who thought nothing of blowing his head off when he had a two year old daughter.
Nirvana were good, but only revered when the guy shot himself. Its pathetic. Sure many of you will love them, but the worship over Kurt Cobain is pathetic.
no.
