Quote
On the day I said to them, ‘You know when you’ve been in a traffic jam for four hours and if someone says the wrong thing to you, you’ll just kill ‘em, you’ll fucking snap and probably throttle them? You’re like this -” he holds a palm millimetres from his face - “with everybody and any tiny spark and you’re going to go off, and you’re in the midst of two or three hundred other people who are in exactly the same thing. I wanted them to play like that, like, this fucking close to going off, lynching or killing, it’s like a mob just about to spark off. Jonny and I were conducting it, and we ran through it a few times and people started to get ideas, and it was such a great day!” he beams. “I broke my foot, actually, because I was jumping up and down so much.
It was great! The bit at the end was my favourite bit, because they said. ‘Well, what are we going to do at the end?’ And I said, ‘I’ll go, 1-2-3-4 and you just hit whatever note’s in your head as loud as you possibly can.’ And that was just the best sound you’ve ever heard!
