Just a quickie as I don't like to be' kangeroo-courted', though I am getting quite used to it. Regarding nomorefakereunions' comments, (topic now closed):
Graham's being very economical with the truth in the Sky sports interview.
IF the 2005 shows were meant as a "goodbye" from the band why was there open talk of more shows and a new album?
and defending the legitimacy of the new lineup by saying "No one (from the old band) had made a claim." is more a way of saying "the rest of the band don't have the (large amount of) money needed to take me to court"
KWVP's reply to this was pretty much spot-on. The 'goodbye' comment was meant in a retrospective context, i.e. this was later to become the generally held view of the original PWEI line-up.
As for no-one making a claim on the name, I may have misinterpreted Helen's question, I'm not sure. People have used the name 'Pop Will Eat Itself' for various websites/exhibitions/newspaper & magazine articles etc and I thought she meant is it IP protected? It didn't occur to me she may have been talking about the old band.
Fella, if you have a negative spin on the new PWEI that's fair enough. But it's clouding your interpretation of all you hear and read. That's all.
