My favourite band, have seen them many times, last being in Brixton earlier this year. Not a fan of the latest albums but the Holy Bible is the greatest alvum ever. Yes, Faster,PCP, Revol  ------------- A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes to his friends. @withgodlygrace |

Wherever you go I will be carcass Whatever you see will be rotting flesh Humanity recovered glittering etiquette Answers her crimes with Mausoleum rent Regained your self-control And regained your self-esteem And blind your success inspires And analyse, despise and scrutinise Never knowing what you hoped for And safe and warm but life is so silent For the victims who have no speech In their shapeless guilty remorse Obliterates your meaning Obliterates your meaning Obliterates your meaning Your meaning, your meaning No birds - no birds The sky is swollen black No birds - no birds Holy mass of dead insect Come and walk down memory lane No one sees a thing but they can pretend Life eternal scorched grass and trees For your love nature has haemorrhaged Regained your self-control And regained your self-esteem And blind your success inspires And analyse, despise and scrutinise Never knowing what you hoped for And safe and warm but life is so silent For the victims who have no speech In their shapeless guilty remorse Obliterates your meaning Obliterates your meaning Obliterates your meaning Your meaning, your meaning No birds - no birds The sky is swollen black No birds - no birds Holy mass of dead insect I wanted to rub the human face in it's own vomit... and force it to look in the mirror. And life can be as important as death But so mediocre when there's no air, no light and no hope Prejudice burns brighter when it's all we have to burn The world lances youth's lamb-like winter, winter Manic Street Preachers Mausoleum: http://youtu.be/pvOW3r9tn9g Written drunk after visiting a ww2 concentration camp] ------------- A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes to his friends. @withgodlygrace |

Remember seeing them at the feile years back - only time i seen them with Richey. Have seen them over 20 times over the years. Check out La Tristesse Durera from that Set on youtube - the sound engineer was having a mare. Richey was never a great guitarist but an amazing lyrcist. But the sound engineer had Richey's guitar as lead. One of fav bands in my teens early twenties but had falling out of love with them the last few albums and only getting to see them live at festivals in Europe - even covering fecking Rihanna. But 2 months ago played a killer set in small venue in Luxembourg and they blew me away(included Die in the summertime) so much i even paid for their newest album which i think has a few good tunes. That Sat night in the Olympia will be nothing short of amazing. Just better get a ticket now!!! |

Have you read 'Everything a book about Manic Street Preachers'? Great read. A tortured soul. As much as I love the bible, a lof of my favourite lyrics come from the first 2 albums. Think Gold Against the Soul is a hugely under rated album ------------- A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes to his friends. @withgodlygrace |

Their cover of random songs, Umbrella, Raindrops, Suicide is Painless, Bright Eyes, Last Christmas etc. Are superb. Lipstick traces was class.

Manic Street Preachers have revealed more details about their upcoming 20th anniversary shows for The Holy Bible - announcing that they'll play two shows each night, and will have DJs instead of a support act. As previously reported, the the band's first set will be the 1994 album The Holy Bible performed in full - starting 'promptly' at 8.45pm each night. Then, after a ten-minute break, the band will play a second set featuring http://www.gigwise.com/news/96503/manic-street-preachers-holy-bible-tour---set-times-and-support-acts#" rel="nofollow">songs |
