Isaac Begbie Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I'm split here. Some of their stuff is great - Everything Must Go, Send Away The Tigers, but some of it is pretty poor. Although it always seems to be a "critics favourite" i find the Holy Bible very hard to listen to. Some of Nicky Wire's lyrics make me cringe a bit. All in all tho the Marxist Millionaires are always interesting which is a lot more than can be said for most bands who have been around as long as them. James Dean Bradfield is a real talent. has to be to fit a lot of Nicky Wire's lyrics into songs that turn out decent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I listen to very little guitar music but the Holy Bible is one of my favourite LPs of any genre. It is absolutely brilliant. Every track is amazng. The very first one, Yes is sooooo good. I also rate Gold Against the Soul and Generation Terrorists as well. Everything after the Holy Bible was terrible though.

Guest Tynie Bubbles Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 The Holy Bible was for many a low point of their career but I think it's an outstanding rock album. I still maintain the Richie Edwards suicide was faked and the rest of the band paid him off and gave him a percentage of all future earnings from that point onwards because he was hitting the self destruct button too often. Either they cut him free (no pun intended) because they could see that all the fame trip thing was destroying him ... or because he was attracting a lot of those self harming types of people and the rest of the band didn't want to be associated with such a disturbing trend.

The guy was there best mate, there hardly going to cut all ties with him because he's a bit of a nutter. Do you think the parents are in on 'it' as well?

Which is why some people seem to think they removed him from the limelight but still make sure he is looked after financially. That would be a great thing to do for a best mate who was destroying himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy wasnt exactly stable before the fame though, i doubt very much they would willingly let someone like that bugger off and do their own thing when there that unstable.

You're probably right. I recall a picture on a music site a while ago that looked like Richie living on some kind of Kibbutz type set up overseas. I doubt if we'll ever know the real truth then.

Nelly Terraces Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I saw the Manics back in about 1991 at the Venue in front of no more than 25 people. The original line up (RE included), and they were brilliant, putting everything into it, despite the lack of a crowd. Spoke to them afterwards in the bar, to Nicky Wire mostly, about football, and he's a pretty decent bloke. Think at that time they were a pretty vital new band, and really punky, but now are just another group of blokes churning out too many lp's year in year out.

That is the worst bit of name dropping and self promoting crap I've seen on kickback in a long time. OK, OK so you saw them when they were good. I saw the Cockney Rejects at the Astoria and had a wee chat with Stinky Turner afterwards too. He was a knob and couldn't string 2 words together.
