KELLY INTERVEIW
Melody Maker Interview with Kelly on being voted sexiest man of the year
MM: You've been voted sexiest man of 1999. How do you feel? Kelly: Amazing! Great! But i thought Nicky Wire was the sexiest person in rock? MM: Have you felt sexy?
Kelly: No, not really. I've felt a lot of things this year, but sexy hasn't often been one of them.
MM: What's been your sexiest moment?
Kelly: Tricky one...wearing the same t-shirt for six fucking months? I'd be hard pressed to think of myself as sexy with this lot hanging about (Stuart farts, noisily)! You try and make yourself look as crap as you can every day!
MM: Will you carry on being sexy in the 21st century?
Kelly: Who knows? Maybe, maybe not. The boys are growing their hair, and i might join them, that would make me look very sexy. We'll come back looking like The Beatles on the back cover of 'Revolver'!.
INTERVIEW in B magazine September 2001
The best bits
So youre crazy rock and rollers?
KELLY - What am I going to say that hasnt been said before? Throwing TVs out of the window, trashing hotels, crashing cars- weve done all that. The most embarrassing thing Ive done is probably singing the song Vienna, in Vienna stark naked.
Do you have any special requests for room service when youre on tour?
KELLY-- No. Ive never had a masseuse if thats what u getting at! A few boys have in Japan “ its always a happy ending for 6 six dollars.
Do u ever get star struck
KELLY -- once by Johnny depp if someones got something special I am always stunned and Johnny dept has always done films I liked. He was a shy guy. He had long hair- he looked like we looked in 1992 when we were all into pearl jam. When we met Kevin spacey, the boys were taking this piss out of me saying he was coming on to me, but I didnt get it at all. Hes a really nice bloke.
Your smaller then I thought, do u have a special celeb diet?
KELLY -- I get told Im bigger all the time! but I dont have a special diet. We were on tour with the red-hot chilli peppers and they were on blood group diets. And we were like whaaattt? I dont even know what blood group I am so thats not no good is it? Ive just have mashed potato and tuna salad with a glass of milk!!

"for the whole time i was on stage, i was in permanent shock, everyone there knew my name, they knew our songs... they really cared."
"i was forced into singing by stuart, who used to put matches under my fingernails to make me sing led zeppelin songs in the right key."
"for fucks sake, we've got every record company in britain wanting to sign us, and here we are driving home in a poxy van with a flat battery!"
"we don't know any welsh bands and we don't sound like any of them. we don't even speak welsh."
"about time we got some fucking recognition!"
"this is definitely a 'fuck me' moment, you write a song in your bedroom, and a few months later there are people running about besides the river kwai filming a video for it!"
"this could last ten years, or it could last three. then i'm back wrapping cauliflowers."
"i don't give a fuck if we get slagged off for doing a song with Tom Jones. i couldn't care less if in some peoples eyes it isn't cool."
"we just want to talk about the music. that's all i care about. everything else is just bollocks isn't it?"
"fuckin' hell! this boards a bit hard isn't it?! what's wrong with these darts?! taking the weather into account, i'd say my score of 72 isn't too bad really..."

"i can't play a fucking guitar solo to save my life!"
