The Manics

Re: The Manics

Where did it all go wrong?

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.

Re: The Manics

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

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

Re: The Manics

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.

Re: The Manics

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.

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
