Imperium der wandelnden Leichen

Man kann es jungen Leuten ja gar nicht oft genug sagen: So genannte Traumberufe sind meist so traumhaft gar nicht. Findet übrigens auch Tom Meighan von Kasabian. Nach einer gemeinsamen Tour mit Oasis war er mit den Nerven sogar so sehr am Ende, dass er verlernt hatte, wie man fernsieht. Das jedenfalls verriet der 24-Jährige dem britischen Star: \"I had a fucking mental breakdown after coming back home. I was scratching at the walls. I didn't know what to do. I was like a caged lion. It was horrible. All that partying and touring took a massive toll on my mind. It was fucking horrible coming back down to earth. We did so many shows over the last three years. We were like walking corpses, I don't think we could have pushed ourselves any further. It was really time to take a break and re-gear our brains. It was good to have a breather but I had forgotten how to do normal things. I didn't know how to sit down and watch Eastenders.\"

Und kaum wusste Meighan wieder, wie man mit einer Fernbedienung umgeht, ging es auch schon wieder ins Studio, um den Nachfolger zum Debüt einzuspielen. \"Empire\" soll dieser heißen und im September erscheinen. Dem NME verriet der Sänger schon mal einige kriminelle Details: \"We've gone from on the farm smoking shitloads of hash and coming up with a load of mashed up tunes, to this time being more 'royal', should I say? We've just took it to another level and raised the stakes. We fucking own it, we're the fucking modernists now! We're not trying to prove anything, we've just let our hair down and gone for it. It's sexier than the first record. It's naughtier too, it's not as aggressive, it's definitely naughty this time round.\" \"Sexy\", \"naughty\"? Klingt, als hätte Meighan seine wieder erworbenen Fernseh-Skills vor allem zum Schauen von anzüglichen Filmchen eingesetzt.
