Elsewhere, The Jesus And Mary Chain guitarist William Reid recently said Eddie Van Halen “ruined rock guitar”, labelling him one of “the worst guitar players in the world”.

“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.

The Psychedelic Furs meanwhile, made a memorable appearance in the fifth and final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things , with their signature song ‘Pretty In Pink’ popping up in the opening episode,  The Crawl .
