Yahoo! Hostess: Ladies and gentlemen....Supergrass

Danny: (burps) You just have to do something different with each new album that you do. Right.

Supergrass: We starting our tour tomorrow at Bowey Ballroom. We're here for about two weeks.

Supergrass: Sid Barrett is a little far away. Maybe our sound is a little Barrett-esque. We is was sort of coked out...to a degree....

Supergrass: He's like Marlon Brando of pop music.

Supergrass: Our tour is not about domination. It's not important really how many albums we sell in the states. We don't have any great expectations. It about having fun, isn't it? Selling a few records that's good.

Supergrass: Our deal at Capitol Records gets us a lot of free stuff...

Supergrass: Peal Jam asked us to tour with them a few years ago, but we didn't get to do it. Now we can.....

Supergrass: Jeremy? Oh. That's one of Pearl Jam's songs......

Supergrass: Gaz: I feel ok about being on the Allie G show...... I do other things as well.. ...

Supergrass: When I did it, it was a bit weird. He wasn't as big as he is now. .....

Supergrass: Thanks for asking....

Supergrass: This album is quite sort of an enduring Block heads sort of vibe. Least it's something different at least.... :)

Supergrass: The best ways to write new songs are when you're relaxed. Chilled. ....We're gonna more after the Pearl Jam tour ....

Supergrass: Gaz: Was asked if he pulled out a joint at a CD signing. His reply. I don't know... :)

Theodore_Supergrass: Gaz, you use a Fender Twin Reverb and and Tweed Bassman...what is the purpose of each?

Mickey_Quinn: How did u come to the decision to let Mick sing lead vocals on a couple of the tracks on the new album?

Supergrass: Mick sings on a couple tracks on this album. He had an idea and wanted to play it. It made sense. He had some ideas and wanted to play it. That's what we do. :)

Dawnmg68_1999: Since having worked with Dr. John on Auntha Zone are there any other musicians you have though about working with?

Supergrass: We just wait till you're asked then you decide if we wanted to do it.... :)

Mickey_Quinn: Mick has mentioned that he is a fan of the cure's robert smith, did he get to see them play at their recent fairwell concert?

Supergrass: There was no pursuading me there, mate. It was just alcohol. It was Jack's fault (Jack Daniels)....

Supergrass: Actually, I think it was Danny's fault. I was drunk. :)

Stella_Artois_Baby: There were rumours that Gaz was going to do a track with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters for their new album. Was there any truth in the rumour?

Supergrass: We were gonna do a tour, but it didn't end up happen. We were gonna do sort of an orgy thing it would have been quite baccanalian... :)

Theodore_Supergrass: What is your favorite American band at the moment?

Supergrass: Beck....Hmmm....Hmmmm.....His albums pretty cool...

Supergrass: Spacehog maybe. They're pretty great....

Supergrass: They're a really good bunch of people....

Steve99_ie: Were you surprised the video for Mary was banned. It didn't seem that bad to me??

Supergrass: It can't have been banned yet.. It's not on over here yet. It will be played after 9 pm...

Supergrass: I don't know why they would want to ban it. It's not as bad as most hip-hop videos. I don't know why they would want to ban it. :)

Karma_440: Is it true Steven Spielberg wanted you guys to star in a TV Series and you guys turned him down?

Supergrass: Yes. .... It never really got very far. We were just doing our second album.. When we met we mostly talked about how the Twiligh Zone was our favorite series. ...

Supergrass: The discussion never went very far. We didn't want to be known as Spielberg's band. We wanted to work on our second album... :)

Petstran: who is the main music writer in the band?

Supergrass: Me...Everyone says....

Supergrass: Actually, it's pretty even-stevens. We all contribute evenly. Gaz: We say that together, but get us all alone and we would all say I do. :)

Steve99_ie: What bands do you enjoy listening to while on the road??

Supergrass: Sid Barrett, Zappa, Al Green, Beach Boys, Pixies, all sorts, I don't know...

Supergrass: Mick: Sixties kinky French music.....

GAW340: do you feel pressured to be as big as blur or oasis in the us by the british press

Supergrass: Oasis wanted to be like Blur. We don't really give a shit, you know. It's kinda nice that they've got ...

Supergrass: this fued going on. We can just watch and do our thing.....

Alexa586: You guys are so damn cute do you have girlfriends and his it hard being on the road?

Supergrass: That's terrible. (smiling) Gaz: My girl is with me...... No one else wants to comment. :)

Theodore_Supergrass: Do you guys still cover the kinks song "Where Have All the Good Times Gone"at your live shows? And did you know that Van Halen once covered that song as well?

Supergrass: No. We don't and wow.....

Supergrass: We only did it about four or five songs when didn't have any songs for a set. It's quite an easy song to do. The one cover song we do is by Kenny Rodgers, "Conditions..." :)

Dawnmg68_1999: Do you like the current trend in U.S. music of mixing rock and rap?

Supergrass: It's alright. We think Kid Rock's very funny......

Supergrass: When we're younger we always wanted to do this. That's what got us through all of our shit jobs....

Supergrass: :)

Therealmetaman: If Supergrass were a breakfast food, what would it be?

Supergrass: Bran Flakes, Honey Nut Cheerios, kippers, straight forward boiled eggs and sausages, sugar smacks....

Supergrass: We do like the food here in the US.. It's much easier than it is in England....

Supergrass: In England if you ask for another egg they get really pissed. Not here..... :)

Supergrass: Gaz: I like the Grand Slam from Denny's..... :)

Petstran: which album songs have you never played live and why?

Supergrass: There are about three of each album that we haven't played.. We never played "Sofa", "We're not supposed to".. Some songs just don't have the same character live. Gaz: A few of them I can't sing the parts anymore..

Kulacool123: Why did you make the middle part of EON so short, it's the best part of the song

Supergrass: Listen to the song once more. Sometimes I want the verse to go on for ages.. Anyway, fuck off. It's my song/ Gaz (smiling).

Supergrass: :)

steve99_ie: What is it about Oxford that it produces great bands, eg Yourselves and Radiohead??

Supergrass: It's the place to be. There are loads of pubs.... It's actualy quite a small place...

Supergrass: Since there are so many pubs, you get to play and play... it's quite nice. We did that for about three years....

Supergrass: We got our deal through a demo album... We just did it at the right time, you know...

Supergrass: :)

Stella_Artois_Boy: What do you think of the Robbie Williams/liam gallagher conflict?

Supergrass: Who gives a monkey?

Supergrass: We don't know much about it really. Bands need to get away from fighting, you know. It sort of isn't the point, is it? :)

Spappala: How do you guys stand on the MP3 issue?

Supergrass: There are two ways of looking at it. It's great that people are listening to our music. But, how....

Supergrass: can we carry on as a band if we aren't selling any albums... I think maybe we'll just fucking sew them like everyone else is doing. I don't know. :)

Quickbucks99: How was the Ali G show and would you ever consider doing a garage remix with say artful dodger?

Supergrass: I don't really know Artful Dodger that well. Is it good? :)

Janal00: do you guys retain control of the songs you write? one of your songs is used for some add here in australia.

Supergrass: Some of the adds you don't need to give consent.....

Supergrass: If it's less than say forty-five seconds or something like that then they don't need our permission...

Supergrass: most of the time they use our music and don't ask. They just sort of get away with it. :)

Smoothe_60954: are you planning on releasing any live videos or discs?

Supergrass: Yeah. It would be really good to do maybe a DVD. It's definitely an idea in the pipeline...

Supergrass: Some of the stuff live would be great to release.....

Supergrass: Mick: It would be quite worth while if we did a really good gig live.

Mickey_Quinn: Aussies always try and claim famous people as their own. Is there any truth to the rumours that Mick is an Aussie?

Supergrass: Yes. Both my parents are Australian. I've got dual citizenship....

Supergrass: :)

Radar_Zone: will your next record rock harder than your self-titled one? I read that you guys are going in a stooges-y direction.

Supergrass: We shouldn't really talk about that. It's classified. We

Supergrass: toying some ideas.. :)

Supergrass: Don
