He didn't carve his name into his arm, he wrote "4REAL" after the bands credibility was questioned. I don't think Richies actions reflected the entire band anyway.

I relate to them coz they arent afraid to speak thier minds. They will often be the first to question themselves then go through a reinvention. They write songs and music for themselves and the fans not for critics,otherbands and record labels.

The Holy Bible is a greatest reinvention after a weak 2nd album. It showcases thought provoking lyrics, puts out thier political opinion and is packed with excellent guitar riffs and banging drums.]]> Manic Street Preachers http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1979&Focus=44108#Comment_44108 2008-04-25T14:41:37-07:00 2013-05-25T06:01:18-07:00 Egon http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=698 *yawn* Manic Street Preachers http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1979&Focus=44110#Comment_44110 2008-04-25T14:43:52-07:00 2013-05-25T06:01:18-07:00 Winther http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2913 Close/Sink in 3...2...1...

Evidence for the prosecution:

Motorcycle Emptiness - a glorious pop classic that raises teenage angst to an art form and always leaves me dizzy.

The Holy Bible - a truly terrifying record, a deep pit of nihilism and loathing that showed an ambition way beyond any of their peers. Played it hundreds of times and it smacks me in the head every time.

What more do you want from a band? Angry, pretty, insanely opininated, fiercely intelligent, never afraid to make fall flat on their faces, a towering ambition, a dreadful hunger.]]> Manic Street Preachers http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1979&Focus=44235#Comment_44235 2008-04-25T22:49:53-07:00 2013-05-25T06:01:18-07:00 Dracko http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2122 Oh God, why must fans do this? :( Manic Street Preachers http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1979&Focus=44237#Comment_44237 2008-04-25T23:05:51-07:00 2013-05-25T06:01:18-07:00 MagicSword! http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1309 Dear Internet Jesus, dear Internet Shiva, Goddess of Death, please close this thread.

as far as the manics go,they never had any play in the states at all...at least not where i lived.

i listened to "Holy Bible" for the first time about 8 years ago and i thought it was a fantastic album. I'm not going to tear apart at the seams about them or anything, but i think it's certainly a terrific album that deserved more media attention. i know you brits probably had this shit crammed down your curry-holes for way too long, but as an outsider looking in, i truly think it's worthwhile. i don't listen to it all the time, nor did i when i first heard it but..jeez. good stuff. (i'm not a fan of any of their other albums,btw)

seriously though..whoever said drive by truckers is the best band ever has serious fucking problems. listen to early bruce springsteen and you'll get the same sort of blue collar redneck shit only with good lyrics...at least he wrote white trash songs that had some sort of substance.

whoever said they sound like the jam....the jam is one of my fave bands ever. i really don't hear the likeness at all. compare some songs,perhaps?

i guess what i mean to say is...
holy bible is pretty awesome and i enjoyed it. everything after and before was just so-so and if you don't like my opinion, i guess you could go listen to your own shitty music and continue arguing over albums the rest of us (except wellsy) got over years ago :D]]> Manic Street Preachers http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1979&Focus=44642#Comment_44642 2008-04-27T04:13:58-07:00 2013-05-25T06:01:18-07:00 frenchbloke http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=759 Maybe your all just to scared to appreciate a political rock band.

@ Scribe - they are talented... well, JDB and Sean are musically talented. When he gets going James is an amazing guitarist (marred over the past few years by arthritis, though, apparently). Richey was a good lyricist but i'm not too sure about Nicky, nowadays, especially after hearing their latest stuff...]]> Manic Street Preachers http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1979&Focus=44749#Comment_44749 2008-04-27T11:58:59-07:00 2013-05-25T06:01:18-07:00 warrenellis http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2 Dracko gets himself shitcanned for that little display.

That said, "Maybe your all just to scared to appreciate a political rock band. And your all happy listening to the bands who conform" gave me a good laugh.

Revolutionary idea - enjoy music. It doesn't matter where it comes from, how popular it is, how popular it isn't, what form it takes, how it's made, who makes it... if you like it, listen to it. Who gives a damn what anyone else thinks. Discuss it, sure, but don't belittle someone for liking or not liking the right music, there's no such thing.

Well said.

I do love The Holy Bible, but it really is the only Manics album I still enjoy. It's brilliant, though, innit? It's fraught and angry and fuckin' nasty in places, but it's all so damned catchy. They were actually invited to play Faster on Top Of The Pops! I can't imagine the current crop of Nokia/T-Mobile-sponsored teen music programmes taking that risk. And maybe that's part of the problem.]]> Manic Street Preachers http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1979&Focus=45004#Comment_45004 2008-04-28T02:50:16-07:00 2013-05-25T06:01:18-07:00 jona http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=672 I think synthsapien has said all that needs to be said.
