Mani v Hooky

[Kowalski]

Some will be aware they've been working together on the "Freebass" project, well they've had a bit of a falling out.

Mani's rants:

3 things visible from space, great wall of china, peter hooks wallet stuffed with ian Curtis blood money, man citys empty trophy cabinet !

I’ve actually got an ongoing career, so I don’t feel the need to exploit my past glories. I exist in the here and the now !!!.

I’m fine, dunno about the vulture who is ravenously devouring the last morsels of putrid flesh from Wilson/Curtis bones.

I’m getting back with the “real”players tomorrow thank f**k. Can’t be doing with talentless nostalgia f**kwit whores.

It’s where it belongs mate…. In the f**kin bargain bin before it’s even released. you live and learn. I’m still no 1 though.

And I haven’t even started on the c**ts amateur night, one trick pony shite 2 string bass playing yet either. Used to laugh PTO

we were all laughing behind his back watching the stupid w*nk struggle to do the same old shit he’s done for the last 30 years !!

recovered from my vicious rants of last night.dont take to kindly to getting mugged off by people who cant hold a torch to me

either personally or professionally. ever wondered why im universally loved, and another manc ex legend in his own mind is despised by most.

simple really, treat people with the same respect as you would expect from them,live in the present, and dont surround yourself with

yes men,nodding dogs and sycophants !!!. remember thou art mortal. anyhow, in the real world of the primals,had a great day rehearsing

for tomorrow evenings tribute to the mighty annie nightingale on radio 1 from 7pm. do yerselves a favour,tune in and listen to musicians

who can aactually play their instruments well,not hiding behind the talent of other people to survive. movers and shakers,not losers and fakers !!!!.

Sadly Peter Hook is a bit of a twat these days.

[Kowalski]

He's been a bit of a twat for longer than these days. Some excellent lines from Mani mind!

[ampersand]

mani is a nob. and thinks he's better than he is. no better than the gallaghers.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

Is this a battle of who's the most past it?

I liked Mani rant at Glasto before Basement Jaxx came on calling them pop bullshit and whatnot.

That was hilarious but it was mainly Bobby: "Basement Jaxx are cocksuckers...........no offence to cocksuckers" well before the watershed on BBC3!

Was it, it was so long ago I can only really remember standing in the crowd laughing and agreeing with them about it.

In all its glory...

Some classic lines there from Mani. I await Hooky's witty retort.

Apparently during that gig Mani started playing the bassline to I Am The Resurrection, Bobby Gillespie goes "You wanna hear the Stone Roses?", the crowd cheer, "Well you should have been here fifteen years ago, you lazy bastards"

Legend.

Freebass – Mani Apologises / Hooky Quote – Band Update

"I wish to apologise unreservedly to Peter Hook and his family regarding comments made on a social networking site which was totally out of character for me. It was a venomous, spiteful reaction to a lot of things that are going on in my life right now and I chose to vent my frustrations and anger at one of my true friends in this filthy business, and ventured into territory which was none of my concern. The Freebass thing has tipped me over the edge and became the focus of my bilious rants. Twenty two years of being tripped up, face down in the mud and being kicked in the face with an iron boot will do that to the most stable of men. I hope I havent blown a great friendship forever. Sorry Pete."

"In a funny way my outburst might make want people want to check the record out. I'm proud of what we achieved really. It's not often bass players get to step out of the shadows and create something from scratch, and between us we've managed it. A bumpy ride but we got there.....give it a listen."

"I hope I'm not turning into a bitter and twisted old rocker, that's not what I'm about as anybody who knows the real me will be happy to confirm."
