Agreed, Banbury was brilliant. More bands need a cellist. Then again, more bands need Haines writing and singing.

It defines a persona that he created, not the man himself. He stated that the books were written as much as possible in character as '90s Luke', rather than as straightforward memoir. They're basically novels, sharing common threads with his songs. It's what Mark E Smith used to do: apparently random scribbles on sleeves would come clear years later. There's also an intentional similarity to Kill Your Friends, by John Niven.

how much better do these songs sound with the cello! btw, Haines is an odious pompous prick to merely refer to Banbury as 'cello player' in his last 2 books. Like his career, his abrasive attitude to others (however often justified) is actually to his own detriment in the long run. He would have more wider acceptance by now if his vendetta complex hadn't turned quite so spectacularly into a raging permanent cantankerousness of all others that defines him to a fault

His expression after "Weren't the nineties great?" is priceless!
