Struggling to find the words smart or arse in Porco's post.... Must start taking my pills again.
Pete Doherty is just the worst.... (In a world with Laurence Fox, probably not, but I am intent on being a bitter shit today) |
I enjoy the odd Libertines and Babyshambles tune but that's bad.
Suddenly Robbie ' I don't know what it means but f#@+ing come on!' William's version sounds a whole lot better. |
I like Pete Doherty. But this is not good at all. For some reason he really seems to doubled down on his whole shambolic shtick the last few years.
|
People tend to rather freely say that someone has 'murdered' a song by the mere act of covering it.
That said, Jesus Christ... |

Are you just saying at least Pete knows the words, and Robbie didn’t, and the latter is worse? I honestly don’t feel all that strongly about either of them, the only difference to me is Robbie’s stream was better. I’m glad if anyone is singing Manics songs for fun, famous or not. :) *Sings Motorcycle Emptiness* ‘Culture sucks down words... forums sometimes confuse but never-mi-i-ind...’ |
Is it so bad it's good ?
|
The sound quality is atrocious. But what can be made out isn't great.
Nicky has often (or at least did fifteen years ago) praise the Libertines for their shambolic brilliance. I can't remember Pete (or any of the other Libertines) commenting on the Manics before. |

Yeah that was my recollection too. A young Pet(er) Doherty wrote into either NME or Melody Maker and said some poetic bollocks about the manics, he was fairly well bought in but I can’t find an image of the letter

I didn't think it was done as a practiced cover. I was surprised that Robbie Williams didn't know the song on the video he did. when Motorcycle Emptiness is from the 90s, but they had different hits and he possibly wasn't a fan, even though bands usually know of songs that are out. If a band such as perhaps Coldplay covered it for any reason it wouldn't be good. Radiohead once covered Tolerate and it was out of tune, so maybe it was purposely. I think those who work with the Manics would do it very well like The Anchoress or Gwenno. I can't think of a band who could do it justice or if it's been covered before. |
In fairness, Thom sings most Radiohead tracks out of tune as well... (pretty sure it was an inbetween song jingle rather than a full on cover)

Thought it was pointless for twitter to turn into Instagram with their Fleets but I'm liking the little video clips on the FD account for the single anniversaries. Today's is some kind of nothingness. Still think the video should've been James chasing Ian Mcculloch round town for an autograph. :D
|
Ten years! Unreal.
I see Liam Gallagher did some virtual gig last night I think. Would happily pay for a similar thing - or even an hour’s live rehearsal - from the Manics right now. |
The Boy From the Plantation (chorus), A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun (verse) and Masses Against the Classes all have the same chords in the music (more or less)
|
A Song for the Sadness is SOOOOOOOOOOO catchy
|
Moved house on Monday (traumatic). Unpacking cd’s today I have discovered I
have 3 copies of Masses. No idea how or why I acquired so many copies! |

(On a serious note, I hope the worst of the traumatic move is over for now!) |
I’m starting to think Nicky’s solo album isn’t coming out this year.

Watching alpha papa and thinking i'd like to hear the manics tackle that 80s cheese-fest you're the voice - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbkOZTSvrHs
Leave the bagpipes out though, 'kay? Thanks. |
You've been on the sherry shurely
|
Oh I dunno it is a belter and James can belt
Hmmmm |

It’s naff but I still like it and I like the sentiment in the lyrics, they have a manics quality during their more earnest moments. Fight me. |
This may have been posted before, but I stumbled across this 1992 gig broadcast on German TV the other day:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg56CF5B0VM Highlights include a completely different guitar solo in Little Baby Nothing, a slightly bizarre interview with Richey and Nicky halfway through, James absolutely shredding the extended outro to You Love Us and Nicky taking the piss out of the band for not playing Motorcycle Emptiness live! |

Don't know if this was mentioned already, but this sad news appeared on my news feed just now.

That is sad news about steve brown, having produced some bona fide manics classics.

No idea if it means anything significant, but the official Manics page on facebook is busy changing profile pictures, etc (although they don't look like new ones...)

Read somewhere today that Sean moved to Huddersfield. Immediately felt both proud (hurrah, my home town!) and sorry (I hope he’s managed to move to the elusive “nice part of town,” wherever that is).
Then spotted this from a while ago. https://www.facebook.com/78444603837...367747097/?d=n Fair enough. |
Quote:
Actually, doing a bit of a search seems it's almost three years ago he moved here (apologies that it's from the Sun) https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbi...-quit-smoking/ |
Didn’t know Sean had separated from his wife either
|
Guess not many Sun readers amongst us... haha
