Manics euro2016 video on WoL at 9 this morning.
It was played on 6music earlier this morning.
Its exactly as you would expect from a football song,lyrics about all the past failures.
Joe Jordans handball gets a mention plus enough Ashley Williams to set grangetown blue into a patriotic induced coma.

Shakin' Stevens would have been a better choice.

Even if they weren't giving the money to charity, it would still be an act of charity to buy that record.
Well done to the band for fundraising though. Don't like the music but they are very nice blokes.

Nicky Wire is a truly dreadful lyricist.

That was alright. I've heard worse.

Re: Manics euro2016 video on WoL at 9 this morning.
I really like the manics (mostly the older stuff) but that is bad.

Re: Manics euro2016 video on WoL at 9 this morning.
****ing horrible. No originality whatsoever. Should've been SFA.

I'd hate to see your record collection.
They should have just let H from Steps do it.
At least then the cheese would have been deliberate.

Nobody collects records anymore, Grandad. It's all about cassette tapes now.

Cassette tape wanker.
All the cool people have vinyl.
Luckily I kept all mine from 30 years ago so I'm now officially hip.
P.s Eurovision tomorrow night - you should enjoy that.

Surprised you've even heard of Eurovision, Steptoe. Did someone explain it to you by shouting it into your massive ear trumpet?

I may be older than you in years but I'm pretty sure I look far more dashing in real terms.
Shall we post the pictures Gareth and let everyone decide?
Come on Gareth, etc. etc.

Yep. I loved the Manics, but after listening (once) to "This Is My Truth...", I have never bothered listening to them since.

Impossible job / poison chalice TBH!
Many will love it no doubt. It says 'Wayuls' a lot in the chorus. It's for them.
I'll probably nod along in a confused state of one arm nearly wanting to half pump the air, but every one of my toes curling, while biting my lip.

Re: Manics euro2016 video on WoL at 9 this morning.
It's always a cheesy subject but the lyrics are rubbish, very poor melodies etc...
This one is better than the Manics http://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-o...cs-ed-11245953
Still not great, but a lot better
-
Re: Manics euro2016 video on WoL at 9 this morning.
nice touch to remember garry speed :thumbup:
I am going against the flow here ( i enjoy the manics music and have seen them live loads of times, from small gigs to festivals, they always put on a good show ) its not a bad song, it sounds very MSP, i guess football songs need to be more Anthemy so the crowds can sing it

Manic Street Preachers (feat. Rob Phillips)

Re: Manics euro2016 video on WoL at 9 this morning.
It's really not that bad, what were people expecting?
Better than expected, better than what the Supper Furry Animals/Stereophonics etc would have done

The Steriophonics are shit and The Manic Street Preachers are egg chasers.

Nicky is a Spurs fan -I think he had trials with them. I am pretty sure he played for Wales schoolboys? James is a Forest fan although mostly rugby I think. No one knows about Sean as he's never spoken.

Bradfield supports Forest, Moore supports Liverpool and Wire supports Spurs

Re: Manics euro2016 video on WoL at 9 this morning.
Just played it to my 13 year old son and he didn't like it. So it doesn't get the youth vote.
No surprise. It's typically Manics and in truth a bit dated but I think it's OK.
It's anthemic. As the good Colonel says I've heard worse. What are you all expecting Beethoven's Second Symphony?

I just hope that they don't play it at the RAH next Monday!
