Please be assured: this has nothing to do with the NME, etc.

Below are quotes from two members of a band, about a single track on one of their records.

Can you guess: which band and which record? If you’re feeling really astonishingly wonderful today, maybe even the track (might be a bit trickier)?

Band member A: “The ultimate destruction of rock ‘n’ roll is to destroy it with itself – and that’s to take out the ‘n’ roll part. Johnny B Goode stands for everything wrong with ’50s rock and roll: the cheerfulness and the neatness of the tune. So the basic idea of (…) was Johnny B Goode with one chord, repeating – and what it needed to go with it was a big, multitracked, fuck-off wall of guitars.”

Band member B: “It has a sort of majesty, we all felt it was the mission statement. It’s because of its incredible simplicity. Obviously there’s a bit of a chorus going on, but essentially it’s one chord. This is a possible music. Again, it’s this abstract thing: what’s the least you can do and it still be music?”
