@fuzzface100 This interview is sort of legendary, as Al has mentioned it many times. He claims that he was one of the band members that was always roped in by their plugger Neil Ferris to head to these cheesy Saturday morning children's tv programs. Al HATED them because they never got asked serious questions and the presenters were SO ANNOYING (case in point!). Anyway, he says he put this beard on and acted like a prat to make sure he'd never get invited back. And he never did! So smart of him!
Just goes to show that Alan is very smart and knew what he wanted and how to get what he wanted very young, they needed that (the rest of the group); someone to say lets make this happen we can do this lets have some bollocks!!
I've watched 101 billions of times and he never said anything of that, I don't think he said anything in the Recoil interviews since he isn't a member of DM, maybe there are interviews from the 80s-90s, there are many interviews of them but there aren't uploaded anywhere...Maybe from the Remasters films but I'm not too sure of it.
Thank goodness it wasn't a real beard because it just doesn't work on anybody--now the facial hair Alan sports at the auction from 2011, now that's the real deal.
