but i have to say........i was disappointed they didnt play more of their old stuff :shrug:

[noni]

One of my fave bands since years ago. I think they're a brilliant, talented and amazing band. 'Everything must go' and 'This is my truth tell me yours' are a classical albums. Everyone should listen to them.
And they're so great playing live!! I've seen them twice and the first one, in a 600-800 people venue, is one of my fave gigs ever. And the voice of James Dean Bradfield is one of the best, he's amazing!!

The Manics rock!!!! :D :D :D

[SuchARushOfBlood]

Once again....another band I wish came over to Canada. I have a fondness for The Holy Bible and Everything Must Go albums. Tsunami and If You Tolerate... rock on the My Truth... album though.

[Kettercat]

I love the Preachers :D yay!

[Jewel]

Everything must go is my fav MSP song, w00t! Cheers for the preachers! *cheers* :D

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees they're AMAZING!! i think i started a thread about them somewhere too! :lol:
i saw them live this summer.. :stunned: ...wow they totally blew me away...
:o
the crowd was mad and the Manics were in complete control :cool:
I'll never forget when they ended the concert with "A Design...Forrrrrrrrrrrrrr Life...."

woooooooohoo :smug:

*shakes hands with Noni*

[pixiesdrawingfaces]

i love Australia too and motorcycle emptiness :)

[noni]

*shakes hands with Hayley*

Yeeeeeah, Manics rule!!!! But they're lost now... I need a new album and a new tour... Guys, where are you?? :(

[badlydrawngirl]

ah yeah, I've totally gotten well into the Manics since I started uni! A Design for Life is just one of the best songs EVER! :P

[::Hayley::]

ahh yes, motorcycle emptiness is my favourite manics song :)

"under neeeeeeeeon lonliness...." :D

[badlydrawngirl]

".....motor cycle emptiness........" :rolleyes: :P

[noni]

Aaaaaaaw, I miss them now... :(

[badlydrawngirl]

:/ ah well I still have Forever Delayed with all their best songs on it :D

[Majson]

great band. although have defied their own principles of music making..

"every band should make one album then quit" JDB but then they've made plenty of albums..not that i midn since i think pretty much all their albums are amazing

One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds a gun
While everything is open everything is shut down, down, down
Begin to ending is really just a go round and round and round
As I stand here - the ground beneath is nothing more than one point of view

[::Hayley::]

yyyyyyyyyes forever delayed is one of my favourite albums....

:D

[badlydrawngirl]

oh yeah! I made the bar guy play it yesterday in our common room :D

[Jewel]

woooooooooooooo :D

By the way, there are guys looking for you on the other board. :smug:

[Gas_Man]

hey.the manics are class...i saw them this year in Newcastle, got some good photos...i love all their albums, apart from the latest one, which i think that some songs on that are a bit... ----> :/
but most them i like

[noni]

Huuuum, that's true... For me, Know your enemy is not as good as the previous ones... I hope they come back with great stuff soon!

[::Hayley::]

has anyone heard the Manic's version of the old classic "out of time"?

*tear* it's wonnnnnderful :smug:

[Jewel]

I might be totally wrong, but I think I have heard/read about them working on a new album, maybe I'm mixing things up though. :huh:

[noni]

No, Jess, you're right... I read they're recording a new album in NME.
Yaaaaaaay!!!

[Jewel]

I feel good now :D

[noni]

Yeeeeah, me too... :D

[badlydrawngirl]

now I think noni made a manics thread, but I can't find it ANYWHERE! So, this thread WILL remain on the 1st page ( :P ) for everyone to spread some love and much respect to the Manic Street Preachers :D
feel free to recommend your fave tracks, post pics, or randomly post your thoughts on one of my fave bands :smug:

:D ;)

[noni]

Yeah, I did another thread but it dies quickly...

M-A-N-I-C-S YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!! :D :D
One of my fave songs is 'You stole the sun from my heart' because it reminds me when I saw them live years ago... All the stage was yellow :smug:

[Kettercat]

HAIL TO THE PREACHERS!!! :D

They're wicked. My favourite tracks:
* If You Tolerate This...
* Tsunami
* You Stole The Sun From My Heart

[noni]

Woooooooh, look at the second pic... it's so funny!!! :lol:

James is really slim in it (comparing with nowadays :P ) and Sean... he looks like a strange woman :stunned: :P

[MrsBerry]

Manics rox !!! My fave songs used to be If you tolerate this and You stole the sun from my heart (i went dancing one day and this song started playing... couldn´t stop singing loud.. lol). But since I change my mind really fast, now it´s There by the grace of God.

[noni]

Ooooooh, I'm thinking now in 'Australia'... what a great song!!

I wanna fly and run 'til it hurts, sleep for a while and speak no words... in Australia!! :D

[badlydrawngirl]

:D glad to see some fans ;)
anyone like their earlier stuff as well. 'The Holy Bible' is sort of a dark album I think, but its SO brilliant, well worth a listen! :)

[noni]

I have to admit that I only have Everything must go, This is my truth and Know your enemy... and a tape with some songs of their old albums.

I should get that old stuff... :dozey:

[::Hayley::]

http://www.glampunk.org/manics/bw1993.jpg

:D ;)

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
gorgeous!!

nnnnnice one!!

even better live... in the flesh though :P :D :wink3: :lol:

[badlydrawngirl]

I have to see them live :D
and ooh yes I also recommenf 'Gold Against The Soul' rather brilliant :cool:

[kraziekurtis]

A friend burned me their The Holy Bible album and I love it.

As for favorite track..I'd have to say so far it's Of Walking Abortion. But I'll have to use this thread as a means of gathering new songs. :D

[badlydrawngirl]

yeah thats a great tune!
hmm I have a track called 'Yourself' stuck in my head, its in my signature. thats pretty darn good! :D

[badlydrawngirl]

yes its a thread bump :P

[noni]

Have you heard that song 'I'm left, you're right, she's gone' sung by James with Tom Jones? I think he has a great voice in it!! Well, he has it always... :rolleyes:

[badlydrawngirl]

no I havent'! Or maybe I have but I forgot :D

[noni]

The song is in 'Reload', the album by Tom Jones, all duets.

[::Hayley::]

has anyone heard the manics cover of "out of time"?

EXCELLENT!!!

worth a download :D

[badlydrawngirl]

*goes to download* cheers hayley
and cheers for the info noni
:D :D

[noni]

No prob, Char... ;)

*runs to try downloading too*

[rf_ucsd]

I need to relisten to my MSP stuff. I heard their more recent releases aren't that good, though. True?

[noni]

Yeeeah, it's also my opinion. I have 'Know your enemy' and I don't like it very much...
But 'Everything must go' and 'This is my truth tell me yours' are AWESOME!!

Go and listen to them now!! :D

[rf_ucsd]

They're at work :( But those are the two I have and I like them well enough. I'm a little scared to try "Know Your Enemy" because of others have agreed with your assessment.

[noni]

I've only heard it a few times, because I don't like it a lot...
Maybe I should hear it a bit more...

[rf_ucsd]

But I trust you ... you're very open regarding music. You lilke a lot of different bands within this rock genre, so if you think it's not good odds are I probably won't like it either.

[noni]

Well, who knows... Maybe it deserves a heard for you...

[rf_ucsd]

I have about 20 albums that I have on my list ... I have that list of 2003's best albums that I'm trying to maintain (for my own slefish reasons) and I feel I need to listen to about 20 more albums that were released this year before I can be happy with my list.

[noni]

In that case, let 'Know your enemy' for the next year... I think you won't miss anything...


By the way, I like your music/cinema reviews. Your writing is very good! :smug:

[rf_ucsd]

Thanks, Vanessa. I'm going to try to start my own site by February ... music and mvoie reviews. Hopefully I can get a good emssageboard up and running there.

That's why I'm keeping these "best of 2003" lists ... those are going to be the first things I post on the site.

[noni]

Wooah, a site... it sounds really cool!! Are you gonna make the dessign and everything?

[badlydrawngirl]

Everything Must Go has 'A Design For Life' on it! If that song doesn't get you into the manics, I dont know what will :P

[rf_ucsd]

Which album has Operation 72 on it?

[badlydrawngirl]

is that a manics song? its not on any albums I have! And I have almost all :confused: :P

[noni]

It reminds me of Emergency 72... but that's another band :sneaky:

[badlydrawngirl]

yes! thats exactly what I was thinking too!
*you could just call me you know.........on my mobile number....cos I'm always in.....yeah I was just thinking about you on emergency....72........72.......72...* :D

[rf_ucsd]

Oh, you know what!??!?!

I had that Turin Brakes son in my head! :P

I had Emergency 72 in my head ...

... that was the song that got me into TBrakes.

[noni]

That was mine too!!!! :D

[badlydrawngirl]

:lol: :lol: :lol: oh dear! :P the song that got me into Turin Brakes was Painkiller! I seriously hadn't given them a good listen before then :)

[noni]

Well, for me it was Emergency 72, but not when they released it...
I knew them thanks to this thread... :D It was about May/June

[rf_ucsd]

I heard it on an Internet radio start and really liked it.

[badlydrawngirl]

coooooooool :cool: ooooooooh feeder 's on the radio! :D :D
sorry, got side-tracked! :P

[::Hayley::]

[Jewel]

Good song :)

MSP won't play on German radio, so I mostly listen to radio online. ;)

[Angel at his table]

on Czech radio too... :cry:

[badlydrawngirl]

:angry: manics should be played everywhere :cool:

[Angel at his table]

Yeah... ;)

[badlydrawngirl]

i s'pose they're a bit too political for some people's liking :angry:

[::Hayley::]

they're fantabulous :dozey:

i think they should run for parliament :cool:

[MrsBerry]

What do you think happened to that Manics dood that vanished ?

[::Hayley::]

*sings* it's a mystery...

that is a really freaky story :confused:
he just disappeared at a service station didn't he? :/
i wonder what he is doing now.

i hope he's happy and pleased for the guys :)

[MrsBerry]

my fiance told me that he was spoted in India... but who knows if it´s true ?

[::Hayley::]

oooh... spooky! :shock:

hopefully this isn't taken then wrong way, but i don't think the band would have reached such success if he hadn't left.. :)

[badlydrawngirl]

i REALLY liked the old stuff that richey had a hand in writing (early albums, like 'generation terrorist' and 'the holy bible', in fact i was discussing this very topic (where richey is now) while i was a bit drunk with my mates last wednesday! lol one of my mates reckoned he was too clever to just commit suicide, it'd be the easy option, wherever richey is now, we can only hope he's happy :)

[::Hayley::]

yeah... i don't think he committed suicide either.
he might be working in your local chip-shop...

be alert!

[badlydrawngirl]

:lol: 'richey watch' he could be at your local chippie :sneaky: :idea2:

[::Hayley::]

[::Hayley::]

The gap that grows between our lives
The gap our parents never had
Stop those thoughts control your mind
Replace the things that you despise
Oh you're old I hear you say
It doesn't mean that I don't care
I don't believe in it anymore
Pathetic acts for a worthless cause

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiven the everlasting
Everlasting

The world is full of refugees
They're just like you and just like me
But as people we have a choice
To end the void with all its force
So don't forget or don't pretend
It's all the same now in the end
It was set in a different life
Destroys my days and haunts my nights?

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiving the everlasting
Everlasting

In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

Now unforgiving, the everlasting
Everlasting

But now unforgiving, the everlasting
Everlasting
....

This song almost makes me cry!!
Beautiful.. http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/natur/nature-smiley-003.gif

[badlydrawngirl]

that album won a BRIT award didn't it? :smug: not hard to see why

[badlydrawngirl]

contrast those song lyrics with some of their older stuff lol QUITE a difference!


Images of perfection, suntan and napalm
Grenada - Haiti - Poland - Nicaragua
who shall we choose for out morality
I'm thinking right now of Hollywood tragedy
big mac: smack: phoenix r: please smile y'all
Cuba, Mexico can't cauterize our discipline
your idols speak so much of the abyss
yet your morals only run as deep as the surface

cool - groovey - morning - fine
Tipper Gore was a friend of mine
I love a free country
the stars and stripes and an apple for mommy
conservative say there ain't no black in the union jack
democrat say there ain't enough white in the stars and stripes

Compton - Harlem - a pimp fucked a priest
the white man has just found a new moral saviour
vital stats - how white was their skin
unimportant - just another inner-city drive-by thing
morning - fine - serve your first coffee of the day
real privilege, it will take your problems all away
number one - the best - no excuse from me
I am here to serve the moral majority
cool - groovey - morning - fine

Tipper Gore was a friend of mine
I love a free country
the stars and stripes and an apple for mommy
Zapruder the first to masturbate
the world's first taste of crucified grace
and we say there's not enough black in the union jack
and we say there's too much white in the stars and stripes

fuck the Brady bill
fuck the Brady bill
if God made man they say
Sam Colt made him equal


:stunned: richey and nicky wrote ALL the lyrics back then

[::Hayley::]

crazy difference!!!
they definitely calmmmeddd a weee bit! :D

'tis all exquisite though ;)

[::Hayley::]

*edit* i've posted in the wrong place but i will continue...

:shock:

i'm really excited about a new album...
do u think it's going to be much like the earlier stuff perhaps? i.e. angry/angrier?
i think it's going to be even more politically inspired after the events of recent years....

[badlydrawngirl]

:lol: the album that's from, 'The Holy Bible' is insane :confused:

[badlydrawngirl]

i hope so! because 'know your enemy' which is quite recent was more politically charged than their other recent albums i think, so i'm looking forward to what they have in store!

and here's a pic from the good old days, my avatar!

http://rock.samaratoday.ru/artist/manic/images/index.jpg

[Angel at his table]

great pic ;)

[badlydrawngirl]

cheers! are ye a fan of the manics? :D

[Angel at his table]

Yeah, but I haven't heard anything about them for a long time...
Czech republic is too smal :/

I read that the album should be quite melancholic

our music mags still say it will be out in spring.. somewhere else I also read "later this year" (which sounds like autumn or something)

I WANT IT NOW! :angry:

[badlydrawngirl]

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalall
Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto

Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power

Just like lungs sucking on air
Survival’s natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

All we want from you are the kicks you’ve given us
All we want from you are the kicks you’ve given us
All we want from you are the kicks you’ve given us
All we want from you are the kicks you’ve given us

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Drive away and it’s the same
Everywhere death row, everyone’s a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political shit

Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohoo!

[Jewel]

wooooooooooo :D

I listened to This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours at the shops today, where are my albums? *wants them now* :stunned:

Here are the lyrics for A Design for Life... according to Homer Simpson!!

A BOTTLE OF DUFF
--------------------------------------
BEER GIVES ME POWER
THEN IT MAKES ME WANT TO PEE
WHAT PRICE NOW FOR AN ESCAPE FROM REALITY

I WISH I HAD A BOTTLE
RIGHT HERE IN MY DIRTY FACE TO MAKE ME DRUNK
SO I DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE I CAME

I DON'T TALK ABOUT LOVE I ONLY WANT TO GET DRUNK
AND I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SPEND
ON THE DRINK ON WHICH I DEPEND
A BOTTLE OF DUFF x4

I WISH I HAD A BOTTLE
RIGHT HERE IN MY DIRTY FACE TO MAKE ME DRUNK
SO THAT I DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE I CAME

I DON'T TALK ABOUT LOVE I ONLY WANT TO GET DRUNK
AND I ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEND
ON THE DRINK ON WHICH I DEPEND

A BOTTLE OF DUFF x4

I DON'T TALK ABOUT LOVE I ONLY WANT TO GET DRUNK
AND I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SPEND
ON THE DRINK ON WHICH I DEPEND

A BOTTLE OF DUFF x4
