Manics on "Later"

Post by villainblack »

Anybody see Manics on Later, new stuff sounded like a return to form, can`t wait for new album, you can`t beat Richeys dark lyrics, no body does desolate better. Apart drom Manics the line up was poor, we should get petition up for the boys to be on. Sorry being silly there forgot its on BBC :!:

Read an article in the Guardian about them. The cover photo reminded me of the cast of The Office

James Dean bradfield looks like David brent
Nicky Wire with he's new hair do looks like Garath Keenan
& Sean looks like tim!.

Good performance - Shame they didn't sing the "fucked a catholic" line and swapped it with "does a catholic"- Can't imagine them editing that 15 years ago

Sean looked totally different.Thought they had a new drummer in.

Like the single and Stephen Hawkins track but on first listen wasn't keen on the middle song.

You're right.The other bands were all shit.I normally like 2 or 3 bands per week but looking forward to Morrissey next week - Marmite!

I really can't believe this - Sure it's ok to have Nuts magazine or whatever on show but a bit of artwork and "Woooahhhh!"

Wonder how much they had to 'bung' the Supermarkets to get this sort of coverage.

I await questions being raised in Parliment :shock:

beggars belief, the "supermarkets" can drive their suppliers in to poverty with there quest for profits, but ban a peice of art, supprised they did`nt ban the Holy Bible sleave as it shows fat people, thou they probably like fat people as it means they have bought more goods from them :evil:

I was a bit disappointed with what I saw of them on Later. I was also disappointed with their last album. I will still probably get the new cd and hope it surprises me. If its as good as Everything must go I'll be more than happy.

The new albums very good! Thought they were excellent on Later.
