Peter Gill: |
After you Nash. |
|
Brian Nash: |
My name's Nash
and I'm a red Muso. |
|
Peter Gill: |
Ergh my name's
Ped. I hate some people and I like some people. |
|
Mark O'Toole: |
My name's Mark
and I wear kecks that make me looks as though I've gotta big
packet. |
|
Brian Nash: |
Next question. |
|
Paul Morley: |
So now you're
number one and you're embarrassed by ergh by being stars. |
|
Peter Gill: |
Who's a star? |
|
Paul Morley: |
Did you used to
dream of being a star? |
|
Mark O'Toole: |
Yeah all the
time. I used to stand in front of the mirror in me room with a
cricket bat pretending I was ... |
|
Peter Gill: |
You dream of
being it but but when it happens like you don't really think you
are, I don't think we're stars. |
|
Paul Morley: |
What do you
think you are Ped? |
|
Peter Gill: |
I'm just an
animal that bashes drums. |
|
Paul Morley: |
If you three
were about 14 would you in Liverpool have formed a gang? |
|
Peter Gill: |
I was in a
gang. |
|
Mark O'Toole: |
So was I. |
|
Brian Nash: |
Everyone's in a
gang. |
|
Paul Morley: |
Are they? |
|
Brian Nash: |
Yeah, you're an
apprentice hard. |
|
Paul Morley: |
Are you a fully
fledged hard now Nash? |
|
Brian Nash: |
Oh aye yeah
well 'ard! |
|
Peter Gill: |
I mean, yeah I
think quite a lot of people in Liverpool, young people, have got
little gangs like. |
|
Brian Nash: |
You need to be
part of something, don't ya. You've gotta be in a gang. If
you're not in a gang you're a no-mark. You gotta 'ang around ... |
|
Mark O'Toole: |
If you slash
250 people you get a silver Stanley knife. We can be suave if we
want to ya know. |
|
Paul Morley: |
But like, does
it like do you like indulge yourself in your number one, does it
give you a position of power? |
|
Peter Gill: |
I don't know. |
|
Brian Nash: |
You can use the
laundry in the hotel. |
|
Peter Gill: |
When you're
number one, we're, just like, living like, like we always do ... |
|
Brian Nash: |
When you're 77
you can't. |
|
Paul Morley: |
Do you consider
yourselves to be musicians? |
|
Peter Gill: |
Naaaahhh ... |
|
Brian Nash: |
Musos ... |
|
Paul Morley: |
Are you the
energy of Frankie Goes To Hollywood? |
|
Peter Gill: |
Yeah we are you
know what I mean, but I mean... musicians? Naah! |
|
Brian Nash: |
We're the
hammer that knocks the nail in. |
|
Mark O'Toole: |
I mean ... I
mean ... I mean ... |
|
Paul Morley: |
What's the nail
then Nash? |
|
Peter Gill: |
Well ... |
|
Mark O'Toole: |
Whatever you
wanna be. |
|
|
The nail are
the two frontmen. |
|
Brian Nash: |
But without the
hammer the nail's useless, isn't it? |
|
Paul Morley: |
What was your
first thought when you found out you got to number one? |
|
Mark O'Toole: |
Let's go out
and have a good lig. |
|
Peter Gill: |
Let's have a
laugh I think it was. I mean we were having a laugh up to we
were number one. |
|
Paul Morley: |
Is Frankie Goes
To Hollywood different from Wham! and Duran Duran and Spandau
Ballet ... |
|
Peter Gill: |
Well ... |
|
Paul Morley: |
... because
you're a little bit more honest about things. |
|
Brian Nash: |
The only way
we're connected to Wham! and Duran Duran is that we've all got
willies. |
|
Mark O'Toole: |
I don't think
that's true either. |
|
Peter Gill: |
I think we're
honest about things what what what makes us different I'm not
really sure maybe our music? I don't know. It's like I mean it's
music ain't it ... |
|
Paul Morley: |
Aren't you all
the same just looking for a quick laugh and a good drink? |
|
Peter Gill: |
Yeah ... well
like everyone is, you are. |
|
Brian Nash: |
I think its its
you're out to have fun and it's not manufactured it's like it's
not manufactured like this big glam teeny bopper thing. |
|
Peter Gill: |
I mean you're
not number one at first - it's the spondulee, ain't it? The
cash. Everyone's in it for cash really I mean we wouldn't be
getting recorded and we wouldn't be on no label unless other
people wanted cash, you know what I mean? |
|
Paul Morley: |
Oh, I do. |
|
Peter Gill: |
There, there
you go. Everyone's in it for cash. |
|
Brian Nash: |
You can't
necessarily do it for the love of the music. |
|
Peter Gill: |
... cash isn't
our number one but it's good to have, you know what I mean. |
|
Paul Morley: |
You gonna help
your mum and dad when you get cash? |
|
Peter Gill: |
Yeah. |
|
Brian Nash: |
Yeah. |
|
Peter Gill: |
I know it
sounds rather like, teddy bear-ish but ... eeh, my old fella's
alright like. |
|
Mark O'Toole: |
One of the lads
Ray, and Gerry, and Eddie. |
|
Peter Gill: |
He helped me
through my younger days. |
|
Brian Nash: |
When you was a
sproglett. |
|
Paul Morley: |
What about if
you was just suddenly plonked like £30,000 in your hand? |
|
Peter Gill:
|
Well then I'd
go out and I'd get drunk and I'd dunno ... I dunno I'd buy a
Ferrarri and wrap it 'round a lamp post you know what I mean ... |
