They were ace. If you didn't catch them, this is what you missed:

Incendiary, loose-canon punk-rock TV from the old-school, reviving the ghosts of Steve Jones and Bill Grundy; nazi salutes, spitting into cameras, calling out "Make Poverty History" PR for the wristband tits that they are, the "War on Terror", having a go at other acts (calling them cock-suckers), running over-time, f**king about, getting the plug pulled and being led off-stage by security.

Slagging and baiting a lazy, slack-jawed pop festival audience - I love it when a band demonstrates such a healthy contempt for an audience, makes a welcome change to all that fanwankery, you know these idiots at the front reaching out to touch the hem of a singer's garment, and worse, when the band start to believe it.

Much more interesting to taunt them, call them lazy c**ts, single out the hippies (just before playing "Kill All Hippies"), noising up Kylie and Basement Jaxx fans, and a final shot at Stone Roses fans (which made Mani laugh out loud).

Gillespie (over Mani playing I Am The Resurrection bassline) : "Do you want to hear some Stone Roses?"
Crowd: "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeess!!!"
Gillespie: "Well you should have been there 15 years ago ya lazy bastards"

Even better, what a great soundtrack thumping away behind all this shenanigans; when they can be bothered, and aren't too f**ked, there's not much to touch a Primal Scream gig going at full pelt.

At the end they said:

"Basement Jaxx? More like Basement f**king Joke!"

"Do ye's want us or Basement Jaxx?

*crowd shouts Basement Jaxx*

"Basement Jaxx?! Well we're gonnae play another song just to f**k ye's all off"

By this point there was only Bobby G and Mani on stage and both were promptly huckled off by security.

Makes you proud to be scottish :lol:
 
I thought he was a dick.

I don't mind that whole attitude if the band then go on and put on a great performance, but they were absolutely awful.
He spent the whole gig wailing into the mic and running up and down the stage.
