    I was never a huge fan, although always really liked Head On and Reverence. 
    I revisited their stuff earlier this year and have picked up Psychocandy and Automatic on wax. Looking for a copy of Honey’s Dead. 
    When I’m discovering/revisiting a band’s discography I usually do a little internet research out of curiosity.  I remembered reading from someone on the Lollapalooza ‘92 tour that everyone was cool except the guys from JAMC. I want to say it was from Chris Cornell and I read it in his biography, but I digress. 
    As I was looking through some articles on JAMC I found this quote from one of the brothers on why they hated the Lollapalooza experience and probably rubbed some people the wrong way:



    The Mary Chain spend the entire summer in North America as part of Lollapalooza, the travelling music festival organized by Perry Farrell. William remembers the tour, which featured Lush, Pearl Jam, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden and headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers as "the worst experience of our lives." 
     
    In the liner notes to the 2011 deluxe reissue of Honey's Dead, Jim recalls that "by the time the tour actually happened, Pearl Jam had something like the number one album in America — so there we were having to go on at two o'clock in the afternoon after fucking Pearl Jam! Their singer used to climb up on the PA stack like a fucking mountain goat and everybody would go bananas; then we'd walk out, stand there like miserable gits, play a few songs and watch everybody go and get bloody hotdogs and Pearl Jam T-shirts. 
     
    "That was week one, for Christ's sake! We tried to get Pearl Jam to change positions with us but they didn't want to do it. We tried to get off the tour but couldn't, so we just had to knuckle down to it and get absolutely wasted for 12 weeks… We were the disgrace of the tour — everybody hated us and everybody hated our behaviour." 
     
    Miserable on the tour, the Reid brothers begin squabbling more than usual. William is in such a bad mood that when someone in Ice Cube's crew soaks him with a water gun, he tries to pick a fight with them. Instead of revenge he gets bottled and bloodied. After learning Ice Cube and company are allegedly packing weapons on their bus, William backs off.
