andrew eldritch moments that make me think he's not as evil as people say part 2

[@Swumhole]

My favourite Eldritch quote was when someone accused him of writing music to appeal to Americans (specifically Detonation Boulevard). His response was to say if he was writing songs for Americans they would have to be instrumentals because they are too stupid to understand his lyrics. Was hoping it was gonna be included here but sadly not

[@theculturebunker]

oh yeah i remember watching that interview...not sure that would go so well with proving he isn't evil tho, especially for americans, so that's why it's not included (although it's generally understood he doesn't actually think americans are stupid)

"We're gonna tour around my bedroom for awhile" sir- But sign me up

[@theculturebunker]

Wish everyone took such a clear stance against nazis as he does

[@theculturebunker]

yeah me too! i was really happy to see that...especially since some goths like to use fascist imagery or even have such views (but i don't consider those an actual part of the subculture anyway tbh)

[@aornic]

Love his point about Vanilla Ice. Very true.

[@theculturebunker]

i'm so glad he said that... that really does show a lot about our society, and it's a pattern with so many artists

Very intelligent man and love his arrogance ha. Definitely one of a kind man and band.

[@pucknhusker9426]

Wouldn't it be good if musicians of these times were honest and witty or made great music.

[@theculturebunker]

that would be great but it seems to be rare somehow

[@ericelliott227]

Hmm, interesting. I met Patricia back in the early 90s (about a year or so after leaving Sisters). She was genuinely really sweet! (Also very tall and very pretty, very smart too). Got to sit with her for a lovely little chat for about 30 minutes, just myself and my friend from one of the bands I worked with. Actually, it was arranged as a surprise for me to meet Patricia by my friend who knew her and never told me! It is one of those things I will never forget.

[@theculturebunker]

that's amazing, i'm glad you got to meet her! she seems incredibly cool:)

[@ericelliott227]

@@theculturebunker Yes, incredibly sweet.
