“I think guitar players should never learn scales.

I think the worst guitar players in the world, like Eddie Van Halen… I can’t stand Eddie Van Halen’s guitar playing,” he said.

“I think he ruined rock guitar all through the ’80s and ’90s ’cause so many people copied him.

And I just couldn’t get any of that playing as fast as you fucking can and cramming as many notes in one second as you could.

And I listen to Peter Hook ‘s bass riffs, and I think that’s a thousand times better than anything Eddie Van Halen could ever conjure up.” The Scottish group’s eighth and latest studio album, ‘Glasgow Eyes’ , was released in March 2024.

Speaking to NME ahead of releasing the record , Jim Reid discussed whether he saw the influence of the Mary Chain in current music.
