In 1985 when I wasn't even born, Jim and William Reid aka The Jesus and Mary Chain were the coolest cunts around.
Homeboys put Scotland on the map, rocked black leather day and night, paved the way for the Shoegaze genre, hated everyone and destroyed eardrums with the feedback laced debut LP Psychocandy.
Dudes worshipped Heroin, Dylan, The Velvet Underground and basically made everyone else look like nerds.
Here are some classic quotes from back in the day :-
The best thing that could have happened to the Rolling Stones was if they'd have met Charles Manson in '69 and he could have hacked their heads off with a chainsaw.
They write encyclopedias on the Eighties and we're not even mentioned. We WERE the fucking eighties.
I think success isn't necessarily a good thing. Look at U2. What will they ever do to top Zoo TV? And look what happened to Kurt Cobain. That guy should've been a bus driver. He would've been alive until he was 87.
Go watch Lost In Translation to hear TJAMC's first hit "Just Like Honey". Plus you'll get to see the man Bill Murray and the rig of all rigs Scarlett Johansson.
