Riccardo Tisci: What do you feel Dalí taught you?
Amanda Lear: He taught me how to be an entertainer. Hanging out with him was a bit like being around Elvis because he behaved like a rock star, surrounded by all sorts of hangers-on. Whenever there was a camera crew around, immediately he changed the way he spoke and moved. So from him I learned how to manipulate the media when you want people to talk about you.
Nev was everything I wasn't; out going, popular, cool and the girls loved him. He was my muse and the most famous unfamous person I have ever known, everyone loved him. He never minded being in front of the camera he was bit of poser as all skinheads are. Back then it was all about the dress up, whether he was a skinhead or a raver he always looked the part and that's kind what made him such a good subject, although I never thought about that at the time, I had to get to my 40's before I realised this. There came a point though for the sake of our relationship, where we both needed some time out to go and do our own thing which is what we did, although Nev continued to be a huge influence in my life - that's what this exhibition 'Neville' is all about and I really hope that comes across.
the big hooks and builds they do try out seem all the more half-hearted and workmanlike, surrounded as they are by the sound of a band wondering why it bothers trying anything in the first place.E' vero. Non è un disco spontaneo. Si sente che lo hanno fatto perchè dovevano farlo.
any other version of this band-- happy Interpol, smarmy Interpol, pissed-off Interpol, the tense-and-edgy Interpol of their debut-- would be more entertaining to listen to than the tapped-out, unsure act that shows up here, sounding like people who have come to loathe certain motions but can't stop going through them .

The Only Time I saw the Undertones I believe was 1979, Harley Flanagan (who was only 12 years old and drumming in The Stimulators at the time), Rob Dellenback, and myself were standing outside Irving Plaza in New York trying to weasel our way in on a guest list or sneak in the back door somehow, but we were having no luck.Con una qualcerta nonchalance riesce a non farti pesare il fatto che è decisamente più fico di chiunque altro, perchè oltre ad essere un signor fotografo, lui si è anche visto gli Undertones nel 79, all'Irving Plaza, insieme a Harley Flanagan e Rob Dellenback. Oltre a raccontare del concerto linka anche un documentario sul gruppo curato da John Peel (che li adorava), che vale la pena di guardarsi.
