Echo And The Bunnymen: Ian McCulloch On Oasis



The greatest Macca to come out of Liverpool pulls up a bar stool with AP Childs and shoots the shit about accidental heroin use and PiL, before agreeing to our steak cookery challenge . . .

You reformed at the arse end of Britpop and released Evergreen, and despite your solo endeavors, you’re still doing it as the Bunnymen; it even looks like you’re going to outlast bands such as Oasis. Are the Bunnymen going to remain a going concern?

Mac: Definitely! Yeah, we will do more records. When we got back together as the Bunnymen for Evergreen it was obviously a calling kind of thing rather than just a reunion. And we have proved that. The Bunnymen, despite the problems, get better and better. We go from strength to strength.

What are your thoughts on the latest Oasis split?

Mac: I feel sorry for Noel. After all, it was his fucking band man. Looking at it, it seems like he's been bullied from all those behind the group. What do you do when that happens? He's had to walk out on his own band. But Noel is a good songwriter and he'll be OK. He's got projects . . . the rest of the band . . . well that guy from Ride, I like him, he's OK. At least the rest of them have still got him if they want to continue together.
