The Real McCoy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hopefully they put out anthology of all these b sides.That would be like a 10 disc box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Well they put some out already but a collection of the latter day ones would work for me. Manics have gone from pure hyperbole of GT to being all about the music. Edited January 4, 2012 by wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 They are a band that wanted to take over the word so the best they can do is have an obsessive fan base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've always seen the ambition to be massive as an ironic statement. they were condemned to rock n roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Joe Strummer called them "hoary old rock music". What does hoary mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I think he would mean tedious. He might have meant old fashioned which is true really.Manics always got likened to The Clash but it was more the tight white jeans and blouses they wore. GT sounds like Motely Crüe to me.I think it's true, underneath the punk posturing they are just a decent rock band who have hit certain highs with Holy Bible.

Chinaski Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 They are considering taking the NT show to Japan which would probably be fun for them. It was a great show. JDB is a trooper bless him. Watching 10,000 people go nuts for Revol is one of the best and most surreal things I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Revol is pretty awesome.I might beable to make the Japan show.Just heard Judge Yerself for the first time. Now that's a b side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've never understood why they want to play Cuba. Do they support Castro? I guess the masses against the classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 they have a miserable time everywhere lol like when they went to America. I just wonder if they support Castro or it's more of a meeting a figure from history. like from the JFK the movie, like a romantic notion. Our Mn In Havana.
