"There came a point when we got back from the US last time when we were close to breaking up.Even though we lost our other guitarist Pete, who'd been there from the start, it didn't affect the way we wanted to do things.""When a heavy riff and a raise of a pint glass is all you need, Orange Goblin are the band to get you through the bad times."It's hard not to admire a man like Mr Ward for his sheer determination to make his dream work, but what about those times when even he has felt like chucking in the towel?"In the lows, for me personally, it's the support you get from the fans that gets you through.We were summed up recently by someone saying: 'When a heavy riff and a raise of a pint glass is all you need, Orange Goblin are the band to get you through the bad times.We played the Dynamo Fest, we did a US tour, we've been to Japan, we did an arena tour with Alice Cooper and with Dio."If new young bands are being influenced by bands like MC5...I'd rather listen to that than some fat c**t from Pop Idol!"You should hear Orange Goblin vocalist Ben Ward when he's being rude!"In the early days it was Tolkien and stuff, but then you grow up and want to move on, so basically we dropped the fantasy influence that was in the first three albums, and now I tend to concentrate on more down to earth issues.We've all been through bad relationships and bad break ups during the course of the band so we can start getting all those heartfelt blues out of that."Orange Goblin vocalist Ben Ward on how to cure the musical ills of society.It's possible, but in the meantime it seems that Orange Goblin are trying to match the touring schedule of US Presidential candidates in their struggle for global domination:
"Well, we're off to Europe now till the end of July, then were playing the Hells' Angels Bulldog Bash with Chuck Berry!Also, while we were in the US, we got chatting to Jimmy Bower and he loves us and wants Goblin to be the main support for Superjoint Ritual when they come over at the end of the year, so that's really encouraging."So finally, I ask Mr Ward what remedy he would prescribe to get bands like Orange Goblin out of the
underground and into the public arena.The best thing about rock and roll is that it's here for the long haul, it's not gonna go away.What to see and what to do? |
