steveysham Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Absolutely love them. James Dean Bradfield is a God: on guitar; singing anything the man is brilliant. Richey and Niki's lyrics are some of the best ever in music and can't forget about Sean Moore. Saw them live in 2006 and it left me wanting so much more.

Saw them at Reading this year and it was immense. Unfortunately i only really got into them after their last tour so i can't wait to see the next one already.

Marky Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Manic Street Preachers to release Richey Edwards-written album The new album is set to be released next SpringManic Street Preachers are set to release an album featuring lyrics written by missing member Richey Edwards.The Welsh trio told NME.COM that they had recorded nine songs with producer Steve Albini for the album, tentatively titled 'Journal For Plague Lovers', which they plan to release in spring 2009.The album will only feature lyrics written by Edwards, which his bandmates kept following his disappearance in 1995."We've had these lyrics for 14 years and we all felt compelled that this was the right time to do it," bassist Nicky Wire told NME.COM. "It's a follow-up to [1994 album] 'The Holy Bible' in a lot of ways."There's a small amount of editing involved, because some of them [Edwards-written passages] are prose and they needed to be made into lyrics, but they're all Richey's."For the full interview with Wire and more details on the album, see the new issue of NME, out in the UK tomorrow (November 5).

JAC185 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 This is either going to complete or ruin my life depending on its quality.Although i suppose The Holy Bible both completed and ruined my life anyway and that is pure quality.

Graeme Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I wish I could find that live version of Baby Elian from Louder than War on Youtube so I could post its awesomeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampi Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 This is either going to complete or ruin my life depending on its quality.Although i suppose The Holy Bible both completed and ruined my life anyway and that is pure quality. " I AM AN ARCHITECT! They call me a butcher.I AM A PIONEER! They call me primitive.I AM PURITY! They call me pervertedHolding you but I only miss these things when they leave."What a song, pure adrenaline.They opened the show with it when i saw them in leeds in summer.

SofaKingWhat Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Will the band ever reach a time when the decide to give his 25% royalty fund to his family or charity.It must be a bit shitty for his family if they're not that well off and all that money is sitting doing nothing. If Richey was around he'd probably have his family well taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbominableHoman Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I like this bands sound so far, the lead singer's accent is a bit different for me. I'm not used to anything heavier than a Bono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAC185 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 It doesn't really mean much. It's more just a settling of affairs i'm sure, i doubt the fact that now they choose to use the rest of his lyrics is entirely unrelated to the timing of this.

TheConstant Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 One of my favorite bands. The Holy Bible is close to perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Everything Must Go does a good combination of Holy Bible and more commercial side. Holy Bible isnt that uncommercial though. She is Suffering is radio friendly.I think he's still alive. Maybe just had himself committed. They have to keep his whereabouts secret. A tibetian monastery wouldn't even know who he was. He could be down the road in Birmingham working nights. Nobody'd know.This album sounds promising. Maybe he's coming back. In spirit he lives on.

JAC185 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I thought that this...http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/...treet-preacherswas a pretty decent article. It's nice to read an article where things get praised without being called the be-all and end-all in terms of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Bradfield's voice has been likened to the vocalist in The Rich Kids.You can hear where he's from in some songs.Especially on This Is My Truth and Generation Terrorists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
