na semana passada, os suede voltaram a reunir-se para três concertos. tinham terminado no outono de 2003, depois de uma passagem pelo sudoeste, e, desde aí, brett anderson só me deu desilusões; primeiro com os the tears, depois a solo, esteve sempre muito muito fraquinho e conseguiu até estragar músicas que antes de editadas pareciam das mais bonitas músicas jamais escritas; uma música, vá, a love is dead.
hoje de manhã, porém, ao ler as críticas aos concertos no nme desta semana, voltei a sentir as cócegas que os suede me provocavam na adolescência. deixo-vos alguns pedaços da crónica de luke turner na versão original e um video do concerto no royal albert hall. o resto pode ser visto aqui.
"suede were the first group to be proclaimed the best new band in britain and whacked on to the cover of a weekly music newspaper without ever released a note""the gang - suede were always a gang - are back""heroine and so young are still anthems for dreamers, pantomime horse and the asphalt world strung-out tales of drugged love in the big city""suede had never sounded this brutal, so determined; the best british punk, rock'n'roll, sex-pop-glam-band of the past 20 years""many of the diehards present proclaiming this to be the best suede gig they've ever seen""suede will never lead beery singalongs at glastonbury. they'll never have hubristic documentaries made about their reformation. this certainly isn't for the money. it's more personal than that because, for suede, we're all part of the gang too.""suede were and are for misfits and lovers, obsessives and fuckers. suede were and are romantic, preposterous, glamorous, decadent, political, arrogant and brash; everything a band sould be, and so few are: just trash, you and me, the lovers on the street"
