They have opposite personalities & lifestyles but somehow complement one another musically, and otherwise.

At one point in the last days of Blur’s career proper, the two unlikely friends travelled together in their own tiny plane and even lived in the same hotels/rented houses. He’s probably the most stable & academically intelligent of his old band and is likely the best (but not the most flush) with money, but he’s not the most artistic one (that would be Damon or Gra).Ĭuriously Dave considers Blur bassist Alex James as a best friend, even though they are politically estranged (Dave is a staunch Laborite not overfond of posh Alex & his Tory life of Riley) and they don’t see each other much now. He’s got a bone-dry & verbose personality but he’s actually quite funny beneath it all.

It’s a shocking 180 from his drunken days in the music business as a younger man see R34’s comments on Jim Morrison for an idea of what Dave used to be like. Rowntree is a married solicitor now, and at one point was running for Parliament. R27 the ‘guy with the glasses who looks like an accountant’ is drummer Dave Rowntree, fondly thought of as the ‘forgettable one’/the ‘ginge one’ in Blur. They have a normal life and raised their children well and there is no reason to accuse him of being a barracuda, him of being a spineless mental case. Kathleen is a wonderful woman and Tom is a great guy. Most of the time, these guys have hardcore drug issues and / or are howling narcissists, and their wives keep them grounded. I cannot stand it when people think men in the music biz are controlled by harpies and bitches, which completely discredits their masculinity and power. Carefully remade himself into what we know of him now. He fell very much in love with her, and she influenced him and his musical direction greatly she was into stuff like Captain Beefheart and Bonzo Dog, which opened his eyes and his horizons and he never looked back. He was stuck in that lounge-lizard persona for many years in the 70s and early 80s (that shtick sure got tired, although I enjoyed it at the time) until he did the film "Rumble Fish" and met Kathleen, who was a script supervisor. Tom Waits's wife, Kathleen, is responsible for his complete reinvention. I’m still in danger of liking them, so please someone serve scoop (bonus if from their make-up/break-up period in the 90s). Maybe Nikki should have gone the Steinman route. Crue songs often sound way better performed by other bands (especially women), as b-side covers. They had a few jams and even a dark classic or two, but not to get all Scaruffi it really blows my mind these guys got as far as they did on 90% audacity, pyro & ballyhoo. I already know the shit of legend, everything they’ve been on Larry King about, so I’m looking to really dredge the metal lake here. I’m on a Spotify kick with Crue remixes and am shamefully enjoying it, so I need DL to remind me what horrific grifty abusive dirtbags the band are and stop me turning into a casual fan (no disrespect to Tommy Lee, who drums like a beast and is sweet & trashy-handsome even now).

Anyone have a smear of Motley Crue dirt that ISN’T in one of their many spurious tomes, or that the professional blowhard Eddie Trunk hasn’t already spoken on?
