He had some great guitar riffs alright. I absolutely love his guitar on 59 Lyndhurst Grove and presuming that's him on You're A Nightmare too. The little flourishes on Live On. That all adds up when you've got someone adding in something distinctive.

How about Death II? Think we all would have died a thousand times.

I want to hear his guitar part for Cocaine Socialism! Apparently he was so pleased with it that it was written into the agreement when he left that they wouldn't use it, in case he wanted to put it in something else in future.

hehe nice ! I'd like to hear all those alternate versions. Maybe someday ?

Russell had the ear for catchy guitar licks, that's for sure. I also love Butler (solo only i dont really like Suede, but his first album is one of my favorite ever), Coxon and Noel but not in the same order

Some guitarist for sure reivented the guitar in the 90s

It would be nice to hear and may be included in the instrumental version that they recorded before he left.

Speaking of Russell (and changing the subject slightly), I remember reading somewhere that he got a cut from "This is Hardcore" and "We Love Life" as part of his agreement. Does this mean that he will also get a cut from "More"?

Assume that was tied into their contract with Island so unless any of the More material coincided with his time in the band (Grown Ups was demo'd the month he left), I doubt it. He'll always get a cut of the royalties from live performances which must be a nice little bit of pocket money in times when Pulp are active.

Well Russell must get quite a lot fo money from the 90s single alone. Noel Gallagher said he make 2K from streaming on Wonderwall alone EVERY DAY.

I suppose Common People is cash machine for Pulp, even though they are 5 to share when Noel was the only songwriter. Still, must be quit nice...

And by the way, why wasn't he part of this reunion ? I gotta say i have not followed. Supposed he refused ?

 I doubt he was asked, to be honest.

Nick says in his book that they didn't ask Russell for the 2023 reunion so I guess it stayed that way.

Saw an interveiw with Jarvis this month somehwre where he said he hasn't spoken to Russell for ages, and next time he's round that way maybe he'd get in touch. Think he definitely wasn't asked.

It's sad, it does sound like there's been a complete rupture there.

Saw that too, Violin Thing, which sounded hopeful to me that there's still a connection there.

I thought Mark sounded quite hurt tbh in his book and somewhere else where I was reading his comments on what was said in Russell's book about him. Sad when ruptures happen. You can imagine though a band is a collection of people that might not otherwise mix. Be nice to think they are all on good terms though.

True. And due to Pulp's recent spike in popularity, one would expect sales of "His 'n' Hers" and "Different Class" to increase so he will definitely make something out of that.
