Where did it all go wrong?
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
They started off good, but I went off them fairly quickly.Originally Posted by SLUDGE FACTORY
This. Vastly overrated. And mostly boring.
For me, it was. Design For Life and that’s it.
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.
A superb band and excellent live even now.
I find that people who slag them off often haven’t scratched the surface
I tried hard but they’re not for me.
No surface all feeling.
I find people who like the manics really like the manics. A cult band perhaps.
I'd never debate who is better or what's good as it's completely personal but to me the manics are the greatest band of all time and pretty much the only band I listen to.
(Ps can not believe Sludge hasn't commented yet that the band support forest, spurs and Liverpool but he can use that as another stick to beat them with)
Thought the Holy Bible was a great album. Didn't mind the comeback initially but they should have packed it in years ago. Credit to them for getting to number one with a song about the Spanish Civil War.
Well for that they are complete fakes
I mean hanging Welsh flags over your speakers playing gigs but supporting English football teams ?
It's embarrassing
It is ff sake
Bloody English......we are so proud to be Welsh.......have you seen my spurs top ?
It was the secret he had missed.
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.
Same here.
he said wearing a chester Fc shirt
That's a whoosh from me sorryhe said wearing a chester Fc shirt
Some decent tunes along the way, and not bad live, but not a band I choose to listen to that often.
Best band to ever grace this planet.
The love of Richard Nixon is there best offering in my humble opinion.
