Those enormous guitars, that generous sound inspired by Neil Young – was stuff that in the United Kingdom was almost prohibited. But they were like: ‘No, I do what I want’. They had this rhythmic quality, beautiful … and Manchester was strongly influenced by the dance, Anyone else, rough than anyone else “.
