He approached the bass guitarist and instructed him to play just two notes on one string. Then he approached the singer, instructed him to repeat whatever he was told, and then pursued a vocal line that wound through insults and vulgarity, watching every word faithfully repeated without hesitation. The music industry will not want to accept Throbbing Gristle and in consequence their audiences will be select. There is no place in the rock world for toleration of such ideas, for Throbbing Gristle threaten the foundations of the pyramid of rock-money. For years people have been told anyone can make art and poetry, let's not ruin things and tell them they can make rock music too.
Nothing is quite black or white.
Not everyone could obtain the same energy as Throbbing Gristle, for each brings his own obsessions to whatever he turns his hand. Gen and Cosey use their ability as performers and the way they see themselves. This is not to say it must issue as a neat or a pretty packaged sound. Personally, I prefer to vomit to Throbbing Gristle that to some of the pretentious rock around. Or to sum up another way, if the rock world accepts Throbbing Gristle reason demands we invite President Amin to dinner.
