Tony Inteview on leaving JJ
Matt: Looking back on your time
in jesus jones, heres some
questions!
Matt: Any future projects?
Tony: Taking a break for a bit.
No other projects on the
horizon.
Matt: What were your favourate
songs to perform live?
Tony: Favourite songs were
always info and idiot but I
liked playing everything really.
Learning all of Liquidiser was
cool last year. Real World that
i haven't done before
especially. I will never forget
idiot though, one of the best
tunes ever.
Matt: Was there any songs you
wish you had played but never
got the chance to?
Tony: I think the only song that
I always wanted to play but it
never happened was Your Crusade
for Perverse. That tune kicks
ass. Maybe if there's a Perverse
album show in the future I could
come back and play that one.
Matt: From the admittedly few jj
gigs Ive seen, there seems to be
little of Already, Culture
Vulture and the song 'come on
home'. Why is this?
Tony: We did play chemical
number 1 for quite a while. But
less people have already than
other albums so we replaced it.
I adore The Next Big Thing and
we did play that once at the
marquee show we did for the DVD
ages ago. It's very slow though
so hard to get right. We played
Come on Home that same
night too.
Matt: What are your favourate
memories of being in jj?
Tony: Favourite memories...there
are too many. First gig at
Arlene's in New York the week
after joining band. First uk
tour around the Greatest Hits,
The massive US Tour in a tiny
van, Sonic mania festival in
Japan, supporting the Wonder
Stuff at wolves civic, Glasgow
barrowlands, Birmingham academy
and sheps bush empire each time,
the Australian tour 2 years back
especially the Sydney Enmore
Theatre night, and the
friendships with the guys in the
band and all the random fun we
has through that. That's some of
the best memories.
Matt: Thanks for your time and
have a nice christmas, and I
wish you well for the future.
Tony: Thanks man, you too!
