When we spoke on the sunday at Luton you were due to go to the Manics concert, how did it go? Geo Title: Re: Manic street preachers Post by: Jon MW on May 24, 2007, 09:24:55 AM Not there yet, it's the first weekend in June. :)
Title: Re: Manic street preachers Post by: kinboshi on May 24, 2007, 09:54:58 AM The new album isn't bad - and it's far better than some of the crap they've been doing recently.
I think the single is one of the weakest songs on the album as well. Have you been to see them before Jon? I used to go and see them religiously in their early days - an excellent band live.

James Dean Bradfield stage dived into the crowd and pretty much landed on my head. Fortunately he was much thinner at the time.
I also got a copy of Generation Terrorists, pre-release, via a mate who interviewed them for the University newspaper but wasn't a big fan. It has one signature across the inlay card, that of Richey. I wonder what it would fetch on Ebay if I were ever tempted. I've never spotted anything comparable to compare it to.

Title: Re: Manic street preachers Post by: Sheriff Fatman on May 24, 2007, 11:12:13 AM Sark,
Please put a photo of your left arm onto the forum. We need to check for scars. Title: Re: Manic street preachers Post by: TightEnd on May 24, 2007, 11:14:01 AM Sark has arms?

I'll ask Richey if he's signed any more like that... ;D Title: Re: Manic street preachers Post by: Colchester Kev on May 24, 2007, 02:17:18 PM Richey is currently delivering the evening gazette in Colchester, disguised as a 67 year old geezer who smokes rollies and sings petula clarks back catalogue whilst on his round.

That's Elvis you doughnut! ::) Title: Re: Manic street preachers Post by: lazaroonie on May 24, 2007, 11:26:42 PM only saw the manics once, and it was a bizarre setup - 1997 at the height of oasismania I was in boston with tickets for the oasis gig, bought on the day of the gig (this was the same year they sold a zillion tickets at knebworth.
anyway, oasis were good, but the first band on were the manics, and they only played 4-5 songs. but they were freakin awesome. The crowd was basically made up of expats, and the next support act came on, some dreadful thrash metal outfit (obviosuly for the american kids), they started getting booed and all sorts of stuff thrown at them, they lasted about 20 minutes. |
