Bobby Gillespie: Rock is like Latin - a dying language, rap is the thing

"It’s old, it’s finished, and it really has nothing more to say. Guys in rock bands dress like they’ve come to fix your electrics” - Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie said The Daily Telegraph in an interview. "There’s not one sex symbol in white rock anymore, cause there’s no sex in it. It’s very solipsistic, so inward looking, it’s all me, me, me. Rock is dead", he said. And then, on the other hand, there's rap and grime: "It’s like they’re talking an occult language, and that’s how it should be. It’s got irony, intelligence, inventiveness, sex and danger. You’ve got rappers on acid going mental on stage, skinny, covered in tattoos, crazy coloured hair, high fashion, some of them wear dresses", NME reports.
