Trivia / Suede

• Creator Backlash: The band as a whole are not particularly fond of A New Morning, the last album they recorded before their original break-up, citing that it was created during a period of personal problems and creative burnout. Most fans and critics tend to agree with them.
• Creator Breakdown: After an argument over the shortening of the originally 25-minute long song "The Asphalt World", Butler began suffering from paranoid delusions about producer Ed Buller during the production of Dog Man Star, claiming that the whole bands lives were in danger if they continued to work with him, and calling Buller himself with sounds of knives scratching the phone. Ultimately, it resulted in his departure from the group.
• Creator Couple: Brett Anderson (vocals) and Justine Frischmann (rhythm guitar) in the band's early days. Subverted in that Justine getting kicked out of the band provided a marked increase in the fervor and quality of their music.
• Genre Popularizer: Suede may not have been the first Britpop record, but it was the first popular Britpop record and thus codified and fostered the genre. Ironically, the band think little of Britpop and have since tried to distance themselves from it.
• Market-Based Title: A lounge singer also named Suede sued the band over the use of their name in America, and won, and as a result their albums were released under the name "The London Suede".
• Promoted Fanboy: Richard Oakes, the band's second (and current) guitarist that replaced Bernard Butler in 1994, was just a 17 year old fan of the band at the time.
• Troubled Production: the recording session of Suede's second album (Dog Man Star, usually named as their magnum opus) were fraught with difficulties, delays, arguments over Creative Differences, and guitarist Bernard Butler quitting the band.
