I always think of the Manics as a 90’s band. They suited that era but went a bit stale thereafter
I always thought sean was a bluebird. I know Patrick, nickys brother, is a bluebird. Nicky supports Leeds i think.Originally Posted by Pearcey3
Great band live and still knocking out some good tunes.
Motorcycle emptiness is a masterpiece.
Non manics realated.. Currently listening to 'Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs' .
Brilliant
Nicky Wire is a soppy spurs fan
The drummer , Liverpool
I was told that Nicky Wire 'looks out for our results' seem to recall that James supports Forest
He says he supports forest because he went to university there
Apparently he's a big cardiff blues fan
Which as far as I am concerns means if he can support the city's rugby team he can fecking well support ccfc
Always worth seeing live for the hits - their albums are a little hit and miss these days.
Holy Bible/Everything Must Go are classic British rock albums - the background to both are equally tragic and fascinating.
I've seen James at the City once or twice
They're big Wales fans too which ought to appease Sludge - weren't they at the battering by Holland with SFA?
Excellent band, still making some good stuff, though obviously different to their heyday. I'd certainly have them down as the best Welsh band
My view is if you support Wales you support a Welsh football team .....Cardiff, Newport, Swansea , Wrexham , Bangor , Locomotive Llanberis
And that's it
SFA are clear..
Why?
What if you're Welsh but have no affiliation with any club team as you were brought up outside of the country?
That's totally different
If you were born to Welsh parents but grew up in Liverpool and support Liverpool that's cool
But how many people in South Wales who support Liverpool were born up there or have scouse parents ?
A hundred or so
I remember seeing them before a wales game (was it Italy?) and thought they were amazing, I was quite young so didn’t know a lot about them. Went to see them in concert following that and was bored.
See! what i like to do is make sure that the band i like is into the club i like...so basically i'm listening to thin air or my own farts.
but i'll post this because it's .....van halen
I love Van Halen
Great background vocals by Micheal Antony
Chickenfoot ?
Their early stuff was a bit retro, influenced by The Clash and Guns N' Roses. The track Little Baby Nothing wouldn't be too out of place on a Meat Loaf album, but very good nevertheless.
In a way they were sort of a reaction against all those Shoegazing bands from the Home Counties that were prevalent in indie rock during the early 90s.
I always thought The Girl Who Wanted to Be God was such a superb song.
I hated those shoegazing bands
Slowdive
Christ they were boring
Mind you I am a metal head so I shouldn't really have gone to see them
Bloody students
You should have mentioned this before.
Well now you know
Deal with it
Most of them were weak as ****, but I like Slowdive, and Lush.
Lush had that half Japanese female guitarist and singer ?
I liked Curve , in small doses
Hardly weak, Swervedriver were excellent...
They were a rock band , not a feckin student shoegazing bunch of students
They had a harder edge, but Swervedriver were in the thick of the shoegaze scene, and Mezcal Head is one of the most acclaimed shoegaze albums. A lot of the shoegaze bands had connections with Oxford and ended up at Creation Records.
I lived in Oxford when it was all kicking off
205 cowley road , 5 minutes walk from the Venue where they all played
Saw Radiohead there who I thought were boring
Here's some more Swervedriver playing live. They probably influenced grunge too. They are a very underrated band.
