Chemical Bros to do rock classics?

Last updated 12 January 2005



The Chemical Brothers have been talking about their new single 'Galvanise'.



It's out next week and has Q Tip from A Tribe Called Quest fame on vocals.



We put it to Tom and Ed that 'galvanise' was a word you didn't hear very often. They agreed, but said when it popped out of Q Tip's head they knew it was a winner:



"We were in the studio with Q Tip, and he just said it as a throwaway bit of his rap and we thought 'Galvanise, it's such a strong, dynamic word, how come no one's used it?'"



"So, we put it in a search engine to see if anyone else had done it, and they hadn't, so now it's ours!"



"Q Tip was awesome, he started off by singing Van Halen songs as a warm-up - maybe we should have that as outtakes from the album!"



The Chemical Brothers' album "Push The Button" is out on the 24th January and they'll be talking to Zane Lowe in detail about it on the 25th.

Thanks for that, I will definitely listen in on the 25th!

Q-Tip? singing Van Halen? :?



Aint talking about love!

dont like to drag this to the top but its important for you to know and i dont want people to miss it!

Fuck sake, i'll miss it, i'll be down pub :x

Listen to this tonight!

Many things were revealed, including the fact that there are also unsuccessful collaborations that don't go all the way to the end and also that Q-Tip wanted a gold plated microphone to record on (add that to Bernand Sumner's gold guitar lead). Use the Listen Again feature, roughly 1hr in.

fuck after me going on about this i forgot to listen! I will try listen online. What else was said beatrobot?

yer i forgot, but i have good friends that alway phone me up to tell me to tune in, and then take the piss outta me!!!

Loads was said, I was quite surprised to hear that there are collaborations that haven't worked/didn't succeed.
