I've always thought of A Design for Life as a defiant song

I agree. I always thought A Design for Life's got some "I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea" (Fyodor Dostoevsky) attitude.

Bastards! They've removed that video of the GATS Japanese shows from YouTube!

Oh! PIECES of SLEEP!! Not Truth And... Pieces Of Sleep!

If the Manics were to cover a Queen song, which one would it be?

Tie Your Mother Down :cool:

Princes of the Universe sounds quite JDB-ish

One Vision

How about this for a gun to the head? Had to pick a unique number to log into bank
So picked the album numbers from KYE, THB, Lifeblood, JFPL and TIMTTMY.
But there we go! Wonder world of purchase power and I used Manics albums to decide.

Somebody to Love.... oh, they've already done it (kind of)!

Early glam-rock Manics would've made a great Liar cover.

Tenement Funster was tailor (hahaha) made for James's voice!

Doesn't this song sound a little like Concrete Fields?

Dennis' Twist - Tu dis que tu l'M

Yes, I can definitely hear what you mean, nice. :)

Hmm, can't quite see that one. Maybe the intro as a teaser though ...

I get that. Yeah, in a Firefight sort of way.

PLEASE YES!

Clarify please!

James multi-tracking like a demon ...

YES!
