Missing guitarist 'presumed dead' (5 Viewers)

[Froog]

Manic Street Preachers - great tunes but the worst lyrics of any popular group. Really dreadful Junior Cert english stuff. It's not a pamphlet Bradfield, it's a song.

I once had a dream where Cilla Blacks 'Surprise Surprise' reunited the boys with Edwards. It was awkward for all concerned. I woke up laughing.

holy bible lyrics were decent.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Manic Street Preachers = a band I just don't get.

same as. never understood their appeal. have one album. that one with the song about elvis impersonators and everything must go on it. overwrought, boring, shite

I think it's called "The Bus that Couldn't slow down"

the holy bible is actually the only album i like.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

Everyone only likes The Holy Bible. It's okay to say that.
But it's wrong!
The early singles - brilliant.
About half of Generation Terrorists - brilliant.
About half of Gold Against the Soul - brilliant.
Everything Must Go is very worthy and accomplished, but lacks the hilariousness of old.
Then they got really rubbish, despite a few hilariously great songs on Know Your Enemy.

 

[Jill Hives]

The whole of America don't get them...that's the joke..

I'm okay with that. The only song I remember is Intravenous Agnostic which had a swervedriver kind of appeal to it.

 

[BonsaiSuperstar]

unless Richey himself has personally made the record sleeve out of a copy of the daily telegraph sport section I won't listen to it

 

[ilovehoovering]

it would be nice if they made a decent album again

heard the new one yet? best since EMG!

Wait - I also like about half of This Is My Truth... especially the bits that sound like Phil Collins.

I pretty much wet myself the day I found New Art Riot EP in Scotland..

Vintage aromas and vintage ideals
Old men greying to a dying country's needs
Waiting for a knighthood to while away the hours
Listen and learn now it's time to kill your betters

Museums are dead take a new art stance
Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat

Faster on TOTP = amazing.
