They'll keep on making music but at least things in Manicsland aren't as bad as life in Status Quo!
Only Francis in it and "Last Night Of The Electrics" live album this month. I can accept media misquoting. But surely someone in their management would think "Too soon!" for a title like that? |

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you At least Autumnsong has a strong melody. |

Pop quiz! Just for fun. Are all these people in the image above; A) Singing along to the self-evidently strong melody of Best of You over and over again? B) Silently scratching their heads wondering what it would be like if only the song had a strong melody to sing back to the band, like, oh, let's say the Manics' Autumnsong, for example? :p ;) |
Seen a lot of reactions on social media since Nicky pulled out of the Madrid gig that I'm really uncomfortable with. Might be the same with fandoms or whatever but it seems a lot of people don't know where the line is.
All the band announced was a serious family illness, I'm not going to question or speculate who or what that's about. Some things come first, fair enough. The band didn't name names, but I've seen loads of people naming names, speculating, sending well wishes to the individual in question. I don't know what the fuck that's about. The band didn't name names, why does anyone think it's their place to name names? It's personal, and fuck all to do with any of us. What is it about, "look at me, I care", "I know something you don't know, I'm a bigger fan than you" or are they genuinely thinking that the band appreciate it? I swear, there are some fans who'd ask for a selfie at a funeral. Yeah, social media does narrow the gap between fans and their obsessions, but kin hell, have a bit of respect for their privacy. Maybe shit like this is part of the reason Nicky isn't on Facebook. |
I spotted that too.. I would assume if the statement didn't mention names then the band won't like it. Depends who these people are tho.. are they just fans or do they know the family? Things are said with the best of intentions I hope rather than point scoring...
I was more offended by a comment on facebook saying that they should have pulled out because Nicky IS the manics..... um. Last time I checked there were three members ..cheeky sod... |

As it happens I don't think it's one of the Foo Fighters best (heh) songs. And I quite like Autumnsong, although I rank it as one of the Manics' worst choices as a single (but that's no great criticism coming from me). But I'd agree Autumnsong has a strong melody as well. |
Can we agree that Nixon was THE worst choice for a single (a lead-single, no less) MSP has ever made?
(and I love Lifeblood) |

I feel it was a massive stake bringing out two singles at the same time for KYE was a bit much.
Have SWSS as a Christmassy single then FTS the follow up a few weeks into 2001. Oh wait. Got a dose of Manics Hindsight again. |
