..you really are a "fan" aren't you?

 

[thickaspigshit]

Dont wanna preach cos ya all have your own ting but they are the best band ive seen/heard live this year.

Would love to see them somewhere small...like Whelans


...dreams.

 

[Latex lizzie]

..yeah I wasn't a huge fan but I heard elephant and I changed my mind. Minds are funny things really.

 

[thickaspigshit]

Most people hear one or two songs by a band and they dont like it so they hate/dislike that band.

I used to detest Stone Roses (cardinal sin i guess) and the whole baggy era cos I was big into the Manics around 1992, now I hear (annoyingly) a couple of the same Roses songs in Whelans and I dont mind em so much now.

I tolerate them cos my children could be next..ahem

 

[Latex lizzie]

..see I was the other way around..still hate the manics though all their songs make my brain squint.

I agree that the Manics now are an embarrassment to both themselves and anyone who ever bought 'The Holy Bible' but they were deadly back in the day Well, apart from some of 'Gold Against the Soul' which not even I (total Manics disciple that I was) could stand...though 'Roses in the Hospital' always takes on a much more profound meaning for me around the last week of August every year (clue: Marty Whelan, Tralee etc)

..everyone made way too much of a big deal over richie manics dissapearing act too. Legend has it that he now works in a quick fit exhaust place on the longmile rd. if you are a fan I'm sure you can chat about the old days etc.. and get a top notch exhaust fitted into the bargin.

I wonder if he does tractors?...

..if he did that would be that class act right there.

I agree in a lot of ways bein a disciple meself, still consider them class. When I heard S.Y.M.M. tho I did think it was wearing a bit thin. A song essentially about a tragedy at my personal place of worship (every 2nd saturday) was a bag of shite. Shouldntve been attempted even as a b-side.

Oi pigshit - if you can wait until termorrer everning I'll do dis for you. Providing I remember to bring th HP in to work with me o' course... brain like a feckin sieve me...

I too did not get the stripes until quite recently - jeebus but Phantom are playing the latest yoke off the air - good tune though. Methinks I'll be adding the elephant to the list of 'must buys'...

So true - there was nothing redeeming about it.

seven nation army is brilliant. total deadly buzz off of it.

 

[thickaspigshit]

Have to say 7 nation army didnt sell it for me like a single should its just the whole album is just so so good from start to finish. I cant pick a worst or a best song it depends what mood youre in.

I know the name of the Stripes wasnt too popular amongst the masses, but at least theyre getting listened to by the listeners a bit more nowadays and I dont mean the Pop Idolisers.

I caught the Top 30 the other day whilst makin summat in the kitchen and they totally skipped over no.22 seven nation army and played the pop/disco/cheesey crap songs at 21 and 23.

Some things dont change.


p.s. Wish Phantom would play other tracks off the album.

p.p.s. Perky the pig, tommerrorr evening would be very grandly appreciated.

aye they were deadly
but the slagging that people used get for liking them was unreal.
the were really pushed by the likes of Melody Fakir and NME which pissed off a large % of people. maybe,

Gold isn't wonderful but has good parts. The Holy Bible is cool. Motown Junk is one the best songs ever.

True about Gold (in its time definitely, tho James especially doesnt like it much).
True(tho maybe cool isnt a word ive heard used for this album. ).
Motown Junk is still the best song never (to be) released. So many great lines in such a short fuckin song :-

2,3,4

motown junk was released, i came stupidly close to buying it for an obsecene amount of money once.
I still can't hate the manics, gold against the soul is patchy(i got the nice gold cd of it). I liked generation terrorists because it reminded me so much of guns 'n' roses(the first band i ever loved, appetite for destruction was my first album). I've seen em a silly amount of times, and i'll still go see em at witnness this year.

never released?

It was. I think their 4th single. In or around March/April 1991, after Suicide Alley, New Art Riot and You Love Us [1st issue - on Heavenly]. The 12" cost 3.99

It then appeared a year later on the b-side of the Slash N'Burn 7". Probably due to popular demand as pressings of the Motown Junk quickly vanished.
