When Mani said he would be joining The Scream - he said they were 1 of only 3 bands he would ever consider joining...

who are the other bands??

was one of them...

think some one else said oasis was the other but i doubt it

It was Oasis. He seems to have an on and off relationship with that band, sometimes he likes em sometimes he says they're crap.

how cool. would love to see that

He's gotta oust MCA from the spot first.

i saw them at glasto in 1994, fantastic performance.

I've got that gig on video, with Ad Rock wearing his floppy flat cap. Also, I've got the 2 dvd set of their videos, they're releasing this in the UK soon, and I advise any fan to shoot, steal or kill for a copy.

It was a statement/interview in the NME when he joined the Scream and said they were one of the only 3 bands he would consider joining:

Primals, Beasties and another which thanks to the above threads I'm pretty sure is JAMC. Not Oasis.

theres an article on IAWS clearly saying he would join either oasis or the scream.

Yup, I remember that, too.

said so in nme

This question would be somewhere near the top!

and still it draws the biggest discussion of the day... amazing!

PrimalScream, Jesus and mary chain and Oasis

this article bears out what some of us have been saying

but he probably contradicted himself later aswell... taken from Select magazine.
