DOBBS + SHELLEY IN FESTIVAL ROW
THE PADDINGTON'S drummer GRANT DOBBS has blasted punk rocker PETE SHELLEY for caring more about money than his music.
THE PADDINGTONS
Dobbs became embroiled in a heated exchange with The Buzzcocks' frontman at the Isle of Skye Music Festival in Scotland this weekend (26-27May07), and the pair had to be separated by their bandmates.
Dobbs, who has been a life-long fan of The Buzzcocks, says Shelley "shattered" his dreams after confessing he was more interested in making money than music.
He says, "I can't believe it. Pete Shelley and I had a set-to in the hotel. I wanted to talk about music being his biggest passion, but all he could talk about was making more zeros on his bank account.
"It wasn't what I expected from a legendary punk rocker who is meant to be anti-establishment. I was upset and started to argue with him about it, challenging him in the bar, and asking at what point he sold out.
"I couldn't believe it and things got a bit heated. We ended up having to be separated by other people in our bands.
"Actually Steve Diggle, The Buzzcocks guitarist, came over and told me not to bother with him."
