Nick Cave and the Bad (Twitter) Feed
NOTORIOUSLY grouchy indie rocker Nick Cave has lived up to his reputation, giving fans a piece of his mind during a Twitter Q&A session.
Like a shotgun wielding outlaw from his AFI-winning Aussie western, The Proposition, Cave opened fire when answering questions about his new album.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have just released their 15th studio album, Push the Sky Away, to a mixed reception.
Cave made no secret of the fact he was dragged onto Twitter, kicking and screaming – probably by his agent – because he started by tweeting: “Whatever it is I’ve been roped into doing, I’m starting now” and described the process as “bulls***”.
Highlights of Nick Cave’s furious ‘bad feed’ include telling a fan he’d have ‘your wife for dinner’, and telling numerous Tweeps to “f*** off”.
Don’t feed the trolls, Nick. Just don’t.
Fans understandably asked, what had him so riled up?
“You have no f***ing idea. Morose? I’m just getting started.”
Other highlights from #AskNickCave:
- “I’m hating this… beyond measure and I haven’t even started yet.”
- “Lower your expectations.”
- “This is bulls*** and you can join all the others that live in my attic.”
- “Yawn….”
