Electric Six: New Lineup is Like "Kiss Without the Makeup"

So much for an 'amicable' split. Just like Jamie from One True Voice (sorry, I mean OTV) initially claiming their split with Daniel was amicable and they were "all still friends", then throwing a hissy fit to a tabloid paper, all is not well either in the Electric Six camp.

As previously reported, the "pressures of success" forced out three members of the band. Well, former bassist Disco has told NME.com that this is not entirely the truth.

He says the 'pressures of success' "jive" was just a "good joke", and goes on to ominously claim "we know what really happened, those guys know what happened, everyone close to the band knows what happened and everybody in Detroit now knows what happened. They can say whatever they want to the press. It's fine with us." (Dude, it clearly isn't alright!)

Despite NME's "oh go'wan, tell us, tell us, tell us" probing, Disco revealed no more, before sarcastically bitching about the new lineup: "Kiss was great after they took the make-up off. And we saw Axl's new 'Chinese Democracy' line-up on the telly and it was great. So who knows?"

Miaow. Handbags. Etc.

y'ss, the thing was they played on a multistorey carpark in Plymouth in thir last tour and realised that, hey, it doesn't get any better than this, we won't go on

well, half of the band did anyway, the rest have gone home to live out their lives, that one moment being the high point they'd been working towards all the time..

ollie.

Obviously "Disco" knows what happened with the split, so why, you may ask, is he ripping on the NEW members? To be honest, Disco, much of Detroit was tired of the Wild Bunch, opps, I mean "Electric Six." How long were you together? 10 years? well, the old band grew into the "Electric six," and turns out, its better. Without you. Maybe instead of being spitful, you could search for Nugent for a quick jam session over in Windsor.

Dear Jenny,
You would be suprised how "spitful" a man can be after working years without pay and then be shafted when the money rolls in. However, it can also be amazing how grateful a man can be when the new musicians perform a watered down carbon copy of what the original members did, only to be dropped by their label a few months later. Without the contributions of the original members, the Electric Six would not sound the way they do, look the way they do, and my dear, prompt little girls to post "spitful" replies on message boards.
A Friend.

I love Dick and all the new guys, but I also loved the RockNRoll Indian, Disco, and Surge Joebot. They were all fit, especially the Indian! Does anyone know if they're going to do anything on their own? I know with all their talent, it would be great.
