00:18 When I look at the birthday party, it was just full of a kind of naive adventurousness
00:25 and we really stumbled on to something completely unique. It was just fucking crazy.
00:33 [Music]
00:45 We had no intention of being some sort of professional product. That was like the enemy.
00:50 [Music]
00:52 The whole thing, particularly live, is that it becomes a kind of unconscious expression of things.
00:59 It wasn't like rip up the chairs and smash the place up. It was something from inside the psyche.
01:04 It was quite frightening sometimes. It's quite frightening being on stage.
01:08 [Music]
01:13 There was a sense of immortality, a sense of everything was possible and you didn't have to
01:20 obey the rules.
01:24 We felt completely alienated toward everything. That's what came out of it was very violent,
01:32 very aggressive shows.
01:34 We thought that we were the only real rock band in the world and we wanted to take it that much further.
01:41 If we had been a little more well adjusted to the world that we were
01:44 living in at the time, we would have played different sort of music, but we weren't.
01:48 [Music]
