Brief Moz interview in latest NME

NME: Are you looking forward to Glastonbury?

This is really the first time I've ventured into the festival thing. We did one once in the outer reaches of Switzerland, which was absolutely dreadful, and we did another somewhere else, but it's all new for me. So therefore bound to be a complete disaster.

NME: You've played Glastonbury before, though?

Glastonbury 21 years ago. So hopefully the catering's changed, but you never know.

NME: What are your memories of it?

Asking for a toilet and being pointed to a hole in the ground. I thought, this is not me.

NME: You're on before Muse...

I'm sure we'll end up scrapping.

NME: Will your fans be converted to space rock?

I don't know, I don't think there's a hell of a difference really, we're not continents apart.

NME: Are you gonna arrive early and make a weekend of it?

Yeah, I'm gonna go straight into the field and then...crawl into a tent.

NME: Michael Stipe says that when he plays Glastonbury, he walks around the fields with his top off and nobody recognises him.

Well, they do but, because he's got no shirt on, they don't really want to go near him. That was a joke.

NME: You should give it a try.

Michael is terribly nice. With his shirt on. No, it's not something I'd try, really, I'm far too diffident.

      I just heard that the ENTIRE Lollapalooza tour has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales! Can anyone confirm/deny? I had hoped Moz would finally come back to Atlanta.

          Advice for Moz. (Score:0, Interesting)
          I know you are God & all but you are even starting to grate on your biggest supporters.

          1) Stop being so classicist. Thanking those in NYC who went to each show. We're not all rich, ok. Yes, some of us have to shit down holes at festivals. Join us, cross armed as it were. I like Julia Riley very much. Please stop talking to her at shows. It is very dull and old now. And don't be a twat/twit in interviews.

          2) Just shut up about David Bowie. Nobody really wants to hear that. He is a legend, you are a legend, there loads of cross-over fans who love both of you, now leave it at that.

          3) Again, the leisure suits must go.

          4) Put the tacky jewelry in the drawer. Keep that shit at home. By the way, you are not hard, tough, street, or Mexican, ok love.

          5) Don't let the hair go too gray now. We still want to fuck you: men, women, gay, straight, it doesn't matter. You bring that out in us, ok pops.

          6) Play for more than 1 hour and 15 minutes. I know you can.

          7) Play some gigs in America outside of LA, NYC, Chicago.

          8) Go to Canada before someone jumps off a bridge for want of your presence.

          9) Go to Australia/New Zealand. Why? See: Canada

          10) Get some decent merchandise I'm not saying you need to sell underwear like Madonna (yeah I just went), but the ho had about 20 t-shirts, and 60 different items total. Get the goods, make millions. The current t-shirts suck, and dump that ghetto font.

          I can say these things. And I can take the piss. Why? I love you...I think many of us here do.
