  1. haha' date=' i read the quote before reading who said it, and i was thinking "must be the manics" and it was..

    oh dear :( have you seen the new video, by the way?[/quote']

    It's an awesome video. Type2error only make awesome videos.

    I need to go find an equally good Manics quote now. No the video is lots of clips of Nixon spliced up in type2error's trademark fashion with clips of the manics in Nixon masks and sitting behind a presidential desk with bradders singing the song like an address to the nation.

  2. Manic Street Preachers (makes them sound like they're telling you some holy truths' date=' which they sort of are... naming the best album in the world ever The Holy Bible was an absolute masterstroke as well)

    !!! (I'd love to know how you're meant to say their name... I just look shocked at people three times)

    Public Enemy

    The Dillinger Escape Plan

    Guns N' Roses

    Joy Division (a guy at work always calls them The Nazi Whore band after I told him what it meant)

    Hmmm... I'm kind of just naming bands I like now.[/quote']

    !!! is pronounced "chk chk chk".

  3. Bought it yesterday and although it could do with a fair few more listens it is excellent stuff. I don't think it's better than Turn On the Bright Lights though. Despite the fact that it's more poppy and accesible it the melodies just aren't as strong although it beats TOTBL in terms of it being more varied soundwise. The best songs are probably Not Even Jail and Narc.

    You buy? You like?

  4. I've always thought if you were going to meet one of the Manics' date=' James would be the one to meet. Nicky seems a little cynical and resentful nowadays and Sean doesn't seem to be a people person, James is always doing those Glastonbury interviews and Jools Holland etc, seems like an man of honour, did he say much?[/quote']

    It was complete fluke that I bumped into him (not literally). My alarm didn't go off so i got to the check-in desk at Manchester airport late and in a rush (to get home for the old firm game) and i was waiting in the queue and just turned around and he was there. I got him to sign my "Forever Delayed" photo book and he chose the picture (he visibley cringed when he looked at some of them). He sign a GT era one of the band on stage. He noticed that my accent wasn't Mancunian and asked me where i was from and what not and said that I should have went to the Glasgow show cos it was better. And when he went past me again on the way to his gate (I guess he was going to London) he came up and said hi again and shook my hand. He was extremely friendly despite the fact that i was disturbing him when he was with his missus. I've got the signed picture framed on my wall. :up:

  5. I saw footage of some festival from this year of them doing Motorcycle Emptiness and it sounded so limp' date=' They don't seem to do a lot of Gold Against the Soul stuff live, which is a pity because I think it's a great album, it might be a bit of a hit-searcher and really overblown, but it's got balls, as does Generation Terrorists, I like the Holy Bible but it's a little bit cold i think.

    I'd fucking love to hear them do Roses in the Hospital, but it's unlikely.[/quote']

    I think they did Roses In the Hospital when I saw them in Manchester two years ago so they might be playing it again. Having said that they also played Slash 'n Burn and I really can't see them playing that so the same could apply for Roses.
