    Lol. firstly, the bro love is mutual. Secondly, I completely agree, I can’t get my ears around it – and I like stuff like free jazz.

    The story may be apocryphal but I like the ring of it so I’m going to maintain it’s true: he created the album to get round a contractual obligation. Rather than produce what the suits wanted, he gave them an album most people would not be able to appreciate.

    he did metal machine for sheer spite as his label was demamnding a new album, so he knew he would get sacked for it.

    i saw him live in london in 78..he is hardly singa longa lou :) whilst i understood the irony of his encore, it did not appeal to me so i lefy half way through..and that was after 15 mins of the suprememes ” keep me hanging on”..folks paid good money to see him..they deaserved better.
