That time in Amsterdam in '83 (or thereabouts) when the cramps and the bad seeds were on the same bill... wow! When I get my flux capacitor working I'm going back to that gig as my first stop. Wanna ride shotgun?
I don't think so, I think he's saying as the only openly gay man in that group of people he felt isolated. It doesn't mean the band had issues with or prejudices against him.
@@fuckamericanidiot To be honest, I don't give a shit about rock&roll. Plus I'm sure at the time those who considered themselves tRuE rOcK & rOLLerS, like fans of AC/DC, Kiss and such, considered Nick Cave an arty hipster pussy.
I've never been a Nick Cave fan. Superficially, he sounds to me, like someone reading a book to the loose meanderings of his band. There's nothing wrong with that whatsoever. Kerouac did that, and I accept it as a poet reading with jazz in the background. It kind of works. It's just that Cave doesn't chime with me. Guess he's a cult figure. He's definitely loved by his fans
BS Congo, I was around in the 80s at a certain place in Sydney where you were crashed out on the floor with some 18 year old kid you picked up at a gig and you were chocker block up him in front of all of us staying in that house to. You were also swapping your drinks rider for Rollies (Rohyptinol tabs) which you were giving the young dudes. You never hid any side of your personality while in the Bad Seeds, that is total BS
Which translates to wishing you were that guy. I get it. But I hear you . Every Rockstar, no, every person wants to paint themselves in their best light, if given the chance.
@@kimtodd1202 I don't care what you called em, we called em rollies. Also if you did know that house you'd say it's name, it had a name and thats what is was known by. You never knew that house, tell me the suburb it was in at least?
So what I'm hearing is you all stood around and watched. Didn't try to assist the passed out kid in getting out of the situation? Weird flex, calling someone out and admitting you were present but didn't do anything to help. That makes you complicit.
So good in Gun Club. Also The Cramps, for a bit!
Loved the Gun Club.
Finished his book this morning. It's a good read. And he was in 3 of my favorite bands

@@therealbushmanpat Fuck yeah!
same to everything.
I finished reading it last week.......surprised at how well written it was and the humility
And yes, he played in three of my favourite bands
I’m in@@therealbushmanpat
Kid is the best!
Oh cool, didn't know there was a gay member in the band there's occasionally references to gay sex in the songs, Stagger Lee, etc.
Brian is a monster of rock
So he is saying there was big macho energy going on in The Bad Seeds. Can't say I find it hard to believe.
I don't think so, I think he's saying as the only openly gay man in that group of people he felt isolated. It doesn't mean the band had issues with or prejudices against him.
Yes he is very clear its HIS issues and has nothing to do with the band themselves. @@WinstonTexas829
You say that like it's a bad thing.
It isn't.
It's why rock n roll has died with the stunted growth of weak chins and T-levels.

He doesn't say that, listen to it again.
But wasn't Rowland S Howard somewhat Flexisexual? So I don't think it was the Bad Seeds first experience of this with in the band?
Solid dude...

Damn, so you're accusing him of seducing young men especially and getting them stoned. That's a pretty big claim to just throw out there online.

Met him DJing in a small bar in Richmond Virginia. Super sweet guy 🙂.
Went to a friend's place for dinner in Islington many, many years ago. Kid Congo Powers was there. Eating his dinner. Didn't say a word all evening.
Never liked Nick Cave, love the Gun Club though
FUCK EM
He always speaks highly of you
@@shatchett0😂😂😂
Shame on you lol
Kid was also in The Cramps for a few hot minutes.
CREEPY!
how?
Why? Because he's an intelligent guy and that's foreign to you?
What? Your comment? Yes, it is
