Alan McGee slams My Bloody Valentine reunion
Now McGee has hit out at My Bloody Valentine again, this time slamming their reunion tour on a post on his MySpace blog. McGee calls the band “nostalgic cabaret” and claims “the only trick Kevin Shields has anymore in 2008 is actual volume and double extra PA to numb you.” It is a little disappointing that a band as forward thinking as My Bloody Valentine are simply rehashing past glories on this tour. But it’s still going to be quite an experience for a whole generation of fans who missed out on seeing these songs performed live. [NME]

"Nostalgic cabaret" - ouch! But, as with the Pixies, we will go to the shows and we will be blown away by them.
this is what we call being a hater.
I see this as a clever marketing ploy to push Ride's back catalog.
But it was Ride that shot their wad way-early and ended up looking silly on record. Maybe My Bloody Valentine had the good fortune to panic for a decade and a half, and let the air clear.
All I can say is that I missed the Pixies reunion on purpose, but I've got my ticket in my hot little hands for the My Bloody Valentine reunion in NY.

With or without the cocaine addiction, Alan McGee will always say the darnedest things. He's got a got a business to run after all.
Telling from his Guardian blog entry, he could be indeed trying to push Ride's catalog. Because, Ride has have done one-off gigs after their breakup yet no one really cared.
As for MBV, he knows good and well they don't need him for hype. McGee's just a trolling.
Ooooh Missy
