Mani once told me I was the best bass player in the world. "That's a lot of bollocks" I told him. "You were in the Stone Roses & came up with I Am The Resurrection and loads of other amazing bass parts, and now you're in Primal Scream". "Yeah", he said. "But you're playing with Weller!" -

Without Mani they would have remained a goth racket. Very sad.
