The Manics

Re: The Manics

They were never going to make another Holy Bible without Richie. I’d argue Holy Bible is one of the best albums of the 90s.

I was thinking that about Richey, could it be his influence was greater than it seemed?

Props to James, he's a tidy guitarist..

He wrote 75% of the lyrics on Holy Bible. Without his edge and the grief of his disappearance, they were always going to change direction. There’s tracks post-Richey but Holy Bible is an absolute masterpiece.

Re: The Manics

Some decent tunes along the way, and not bad live, but not a band I choose to listen to that often.

Re: The Manics

Best band to ever grace this planet.

Re: The Manics

Over rated band

Some good tunes , Kevin Carter , Motorcycle Emptiness being prime examples but not consistent

The millennium gig they did was one of the most boring concerts I have ever been to not helped by thousands of thicko taffs in Welsh rugby tops pissed out of their minds

The Super Furries were OK though

The love of Richard Nixon is there best offering in my humble opinion.

Re: The Manics

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.

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

Re: The Manics

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
