Napalm Death are branching out. First they were a band, now they’re an aspiring art/theatre collective. Okay, I’m just fucking around, but the band will appear in the new episode of British TV show “Skins” (it’s a TV show, not a skinhead convention). Here’s what Barney had to say:
“When the producers first submitted the idea, they had me down to play this Axl Rose type character,” laughed Napalm Death frontman Mark “Barney” Greenway. “I told them we haven’t got our heads up our arses and there’s no way that we’d behave that way.
Stop. Don’t you just love this guy?
I had a scene with the character Rich [Hardbeck, played by 17-year-old Alex Arnold]. He’s a metal fan and I tell him to think for himself. Unfortunately, they gave [the scene] the big snip by the sounds of it. It was a good experience, but I don’t think I could act my way out of a paper bag!”
You can read his thoughts on TV shows’ portrayal of teenagers in UK if you visit the article here. I’ve never watched “Skins,” but I do love “Misfits” (it’s a TV show, not a band). Do they have anything in common? How the fuck should I know, I’m just saying.
