First I heard of it too and it explains its release as a single there for me.

Like Nobody I always presumed NLY was selected as a single in Japan because it was heavier. I think it having been in an advert is a more logical explanation though.

I take it nobody told Paul McCartney about Motown Junk what James interviewed him the last month.

I'm curious if anyone that attended the Oslo concert in May last year has any pics to share? I was there and would love to see some more, I've only been able to find a few on a Norwegian site: http://gaffa.no/galleries/gallery/55288#/0

I remember seeing one where you could see the crowd and was able to find myself, I can't find it again now though...

Nearly 20 years on, and that bit in the EMG book about JDB playing piano still intrigues me. Can anyone hear any piano on that album, because I can't?

Possibly doubling the melody on No Surface...? Like they did live with Naysmyth.

At least one b-side features piano. First Republic.

That's the answer I remember from the last time this was brought up.

James played the piano on "You're Tender and You're Tired" I believe. Possibly "Happy Ending" B-side also.

I'm currently wondering what on earth the manics will come back with in 2017 and whether or not I'll still care by then.

But Tender and Tired is on the album after Everything....

I am just saying that James has played piano on album tracks before. I thought that was obvious?

Geranium Terrorists 03-12-2015 17:26

Are the EMG photos at the top of FD really dark or am I imagining it?

Lord Revan 03-12-2015 22:07

They look normal to me.

Obvious, but slightly out of topic, as the question was about that album in particular. But it's okay. All fine. Peace. :X

Zavvi.com has an offer on right now for their usual 'Manic Monday' where you can get £5 off an order of £50. The voucher code this time is MANIC5. So I just felt compelled to mention that here. :lol:

dark... mysterious... brooding... sombre... ;)

Today, I have mostly been trying to imagine ska-punk/reggae cover versions of Manics songs. Some work, some don't.
