PAUL BANKS Q&A - ***ANSWERS NOW IN***

studavis · **Posted:** Mon Jul 07, 2008 11:00 am

In the run up the upcoming Summer gigs, Paul Banks has kindly agreed to do a question and answer session for us here at Magic Streets. In a nice twist though, I'm opening up the questions to you! Yup, if there is one thing that you have wanted to ask Paul, now is your chance!

You can reply here with your questions (all credit will be retained) or you can email me with them on stuart@magicstreets.co.uk. I'll be putting the questions to Paul some time after T In The Park, so get thinking and pop your questions down in writing!

Which bands are you most looking forward to watching at the festivals ?

How long is it going to take until you decide to write some new sheds tunes ?

Which are better, Spaceships or Dinosaurs ?

Why did Paul leave the band and does he have any regrets at leaving when he did when the band were at the peak of their success?

Did he really get lucky with Kylie Minogue?

I'm still collating a few of the questions - think I'll put it to Paul sometime next week, in all fairness to him he does turn around his answers quickly - so that's the timeline I guess!

Anyone with any other questions needs to get them in by this weekend - either on this thread or by email on stuart@magicstreets.co.uk

ta!

What's the best album he's bought this year?

Most embarassing Sheds moment?

John Squire or Jimmy Page?

What's on his on-stage set-up (for the guitar nerds amongst us)?

Does he ever hope, secretly, that Alan arses up his flip over his kit and ends up in a heap of cymbals and tom toms?

If he could have his time again would he have done anything differently (sheds-wise)?

How long does he see this incarnation of the band lasting?

What was written on those t-shirts he wore during the reunion tour - the ones with the octopus in the middle?

Discounting Cry For Help, which song(s) from the band's post-'99 output would he most like to add to the current live set?
