He Who Replaced Bernard


So amid all the historical news of the reissues and a grandious return at South-East Asian concerts halls, we look back on some covers that were published around the release of a new album. This is another Tower Records' mag cover from October 1994. Dog Man Star was released and Richard was presented to the world.

This is one of his very first photo shoots. He's wearing an unusual brown leather jacket that goes will with his shoulder long hair. Looking very young and happy.

In the interview Brett is confident as ever about the band having kicked out Bernard, and not at all fearing the future. Almost 17 years on, we know now that history is coming back again. Suede still can't work with Bernard. They will play two of his albums, and he has been in the studio with Brett to do the remastering and running orders of the reissues and DVD's.

The headline here is playing coyly with the title of the legendary Sex Pistols' album.
