Madness :lol:

Oooh ok :p yeah a bit of a difference there, haha.

a ha ha ha, Comparing Madness to Manics, both brilliant but in no way the same, one take theirselves too seriously and one don't:D

Just a bit, I could understand if I had just called them Manics, but I did say Manic Street Preachers :P

Both are brilliant, but there's no way you can confuse them really :D

Unless of course you don't know either of them that well!

the start of that video looked like a knicker advert. Got boring very quickly.

The Manics get accused of taking themselves too seriously sometimes but the banter they come out with proves otherwise if you ask me! :D

Just remembered that today is 15 years since my first proper Manics gig, T in the Park doesn't really count. Such a great night, went to a pub for the first time, Catatonia were supporting, the Manics were amazing, good times :D

Then came home and watched a tape of The Vanishing of Richey Manic doc that had been on that night :eek:

i've been wondering how many manics songs are about Richey lately, i've got:

Cardiff Afterlife
Sepia
Nobody Loved You
Intravenous Agnostic (?)
The Wrong Beginning (JDB)

i'm sure there are more though, anyone know?

Picturesque
Ready For Drowning (well, about his disappearance)
Black Dog On My Shoulder (ditto?)
Your Love Alone (I'm sure I read somewhere that Nicky said that this was written as a conversation with Richey)
Askew Road (Richey would have been there)

watched that autumnsong video with the teenagers. I couldn't remember why it was crap. WHat the fuck is it about??

Coping with and surviving your teenage years! The best times are yet to come! :D

there was no story arch tho'..teenagers sat around ..teenagers playing with hair and make up..teenager being yelled at..teenage boys in a band... wow award winning. They could've done the same thing a thousand times better.

It was just showing the general stuff that teenagers get up to. I liked it.

the band didnt :lol:
