The Jesus and Mary Chain - “Sometimes Always” feat. Hope Sandoval from the album Stoned & Dethroned (1994)

Probably the most accessible JaMC have ever been. No feedback, no distortion—just a straightforward pop song. A duet between Jim Reid and Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval, it is, even without the typical hallmarks of their sound, thoroughly JaMC and captures them at perhaps their most charming.

Guitar Princes - Part 3 [STYLES Series #004 - Muse (August 2010)]

Ian McCulloch leads Echo & The Bunnymen. His childlike face and up-turned hair with a pouty expression really captured the hearts of 80s UK-loving girls.

Green Gartside, the face of Scritti Politti, was extremely popular in the 1980s. He is still active with his gentle voice and ability that Miles Davis and others would recognise.

The Prince of Neo-acoustic music is this man, Roddy Frame of Aztec Camera. The atmosphere that hasn't changed from his boyish first period to the present is amazing! He is also an excellent guitarist.

Charlie Sexton, aka Charlie Boy, made his solo debut as a boy prodigy at the age of just 17. He has had a long and successful career, recognised by Bob Dylan and others. But he was still beautiful! pic: Koh Hasebe

Johnny Marr is currently the guitarist for The Cribs. He looks like a reliable guitar brother, but back in The Smiths days he had such a sensitive vibe.

Bernard Butler, who wielded his glamourous charm alongside vocalist Brett Anderson during the Suede era.

The Reid brothers Jim (left) and William (right) of The Jesus and Mary Chain, were the ‘Feedback Princes’. They broke up and resumed their activities in 2007, but they are no longer princes!

This is Extreme's Nuno Bettencourt, the electric prince of the metal world. With his exotic face, rich black hair and exceptional technique, he has risen to the status of guitar hero.

Rich Robinson (left) of The Black Crowes shows a completely different personality backing his wild frontman brother Chris (right).

THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN

[theunderestimator-2]

The Reid brothers as captured by Kevin Cummins in Sept. 1989 in a London scrap yard as part of the NME cover session for the Jesus & Mary Chain before flying to the US to promote “Automatic”.

According to the Sept. 30th NME article, William Reid used to be  member of a pre-teenage East Kilbride gang called the Krazy Young Woodie who hang about the local Calderwood Shops scrounging money to buy bottles of Old English Sherry:

William: “Being a member of a gang was like being a member of a group, a bit of notoriety, though I wasn’t a member in the way you imagine, with knives or anything. It’s the best way to stay out of fights, you get the reflected glory and veil of dangerousness. Touring the world with your road crew is like being in a gang -but if you like Rice Crispies, it’s like getting Rice Crispies every night for dinner”.

Jim: “This was pre-teen punk days, this was ‘can you lend me two shillings & sipence, please?’ I remember when he was going through that phase, it was his ‘Clockwork Orange’ phase, but he couldn’t get to grips with the violence. The false eyelash kept falling off into his dinner. 

I was on of these guys whou could never get in a gang. I used to go down to the gang hut and they’d boot me in the bollocks and tell me to ‘Get to f---!”.

Two little boys had two little toys, one had a guitar the other had a gun...
