Frases de Paul Simonon

Paul Gustave Simonon é um baixista britânico e co-fundador da banda britânica de punk rock The Clash.

Depois do fim do The Clash, Paul Simonon entrou para um grupo chamado Havana 3AM, que gravou somente um álbum no Japão e se separou. Posteriormente Simonon voltaria às suas raízes de artista visual, organizando várias galerias de arte. Sua relutância em voltar a tocar foi citada como a principal razão de o Clash ter sido uma das poucas bandas punks britânicas dos anos 70 que não se aproveitaram da febre de nostalgia punk que assolou o final dos anos 90 para tentar relançar a carreira. Em 2010, Paul Simonon tocou junto com Damon Albarn e seu antigo companheiro Mick Jones na banda virtual Gorillaz como integrante da formação real do grupo, fazendo as aparições ao vivo. Wikipedia

Paul Simonon: Frases em inglês

“What made a big difference was the open door policy we had. Anyone who wanted to come backstage could, and it was never a problem. I don't know whether other bands did that. It was good for us to meet people who had come to see the group and converse with them, ask them 'What's it like in your town? What, there are no clubs here? So what do you do?' It was about sharing information and it was good to know what was going on out there, and how people were dealing with their lives. And that spread right across the world.”

As quoted in 3:AM magazine (1994) http://www.3ammagazine.com/musicarchives/2004/nov/interview_paul_simonon.html

“I've got one thing to say about being the bass player … I didn't want the role of being Entwhistle or Bill Wyman, stuck in the background. That's too depressing and if that was what I'd been offered with The Clash I would've turned it down. Maybe that's the nature of the job, or has been in the past; the bass player as the one that held the fort, so to speak, along with the drummer, letting every body else go lunatic.
But, y'know — why can't we all be lunatics?”
