So the Jools Holland show did`nt come of, shame. I would have loved to see the big jam thing they do at the start..... picture the scene: Metallica to the left, the Wu-Tang Clan to the right. Jools himself sets the ball rolling with one of his honky tonk/jazzy/muso (yawn) piano riffs, then James Hetfield and the Metallica lads go absolute ape shit and their plectrums begin to melt....meanwhile our heroes look at each other with puzzled expressions....it`s the Wu`s turn to join in and the D.J. fellow drops in a phat beat (yeahh man, I know all the lingo!).....the studio audience smile and some even clap in time! the rest just look pretty.....the camera pans over to Belle and Sebastian, you can tell from Stuart`s expression that he wishes they`d decidied to go with that O-zone idea, but it`s too late now. Belle and Sebastian begin to join in with the honky tonk/thrash/hip-hop noise that now fills the studio.....and if you strain your ears really hard you just might make out the delicate strumming of an acoustic guitar and a single organ tradgically lost in all the chaos of rock and roll......Jools is told by the director to wind it up, he begins to implement the outro...... it all falls quiet (that is after a 5 minute drum solo from the Metallica sticks man, accompanied by some impromtuo break dancing from Celine Dion, who`s also there).......hmmmm i can now see why they did`nt do the show, but it would have made great television! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
