Girl afraid
From this weeks NME. Just in case anyone's actually interested on what he has to say
Interviewer:
Isn’t bragging about the fact that you got a bigger crowd than Morrissey in interviews a little bit snotty?
Johnny:
“Look, I prefaced that by saying it was insane. Our name wasn’t the biggest on the bill but we had the f***ing audience. If I’m standing there and I’m a massive Morrissey fan and I’m between songs, tuning my guitar and I can hear thousands of people chanting “who the f*** is Morrissey” at me…I’ve never asked for that. I’ve never wished for that. And I could never imagine that that could happen to me. But it did happen, so that feels incredible in a way. I don’t mean it as disrespect to Morrissey. They meant it as disrespect to Morrissey. I’m just there playing my songs.
I’m not a fan of him or his band but I guess he’s right, you can’t really blame him for having a bigger audience or for what his fans were shouting. But I do think he was bragging slightly and he does come across as very arrogant. Several times during the interview, as well as in this quote, he refers to Razorlight’s songs as his Songs. He’s certainly not a very charming man. (You see what I did there)
