don't know if it's weird by the standards of Manics fans, but Michele (the lady on my avatar with the "slightly chubby Bono") and I took our honeymoon some nine months before our wedding date so we could see the Manics & Ian Brown in Dec 2002. in Newcastle. when it was cold. and thank you one and all to all the fans on the train, in the bars and at the gig that made it amazing for us

I used to play a few Les Pauls despite thinking they were cluky pieces of shite with one tone even at Gibson level.

Not downright weird, but things that'd seem unlikely to be related to the Manics to people:
* joined livejournal * made a shitload of friends * researched a lot of religion and psychology, amongst some things * realised that any band's just a band at the end of the day, but they can be pretty special at that * became more open-minded about just listening to things that weren't on the britpop spectrum * dressed like a girl in order to be more of a guy, I could've never done the gender expression thing right without them * taken slash writing pretty seriously * they've almost stopped me si-ing once. if there weren't more people and things involved, I probably would have kept to that * fell in love with Simon Price, Martin Hall, Rachel Edwards etc. * NOT taken on reading the 'Richey book list' because I was curious about some of these titles before, and then I got the feeling of 'blah, been done already' and just decided to be myself * craved 'HIV' on a bathroom wall. Amongst other 'art' failures * gave Angie Kruger my time of day, and I think she and the 'friend' who got me into it still owe me a bottle of vodka * tried to get a job to MEET AK * written a comparison between Richey's lyrics and Barbie Girl * convinced myself rambling is ~art~ * gained some gentler side to my personality, especially after getting into Nicky's lyrics in This Is My Truth... * took time to decide life can be good and I want to do something I really like, as opposed to 'just live' * Would never utter the sentence 'I have a politix degree', even if I'll have time to study it * Most of my LJ is probably about Richey Last edited by Slideling; 07-11-2009 at 11:58.

 I've only got 6 copies! They're all different, like. I dare say that there can't be many people on here who've spent more on Manics in proportion than I have...

People (including casual Manics fans) find it strange that I would like to queue up early to get near the front. I don't queue up as early as I did for Wembley Arena 2002, but that was probably the weird one as it was freezing cold and I was there probably 2 1/2 hours before doors opened.

look, i listened to SATT again after not playing it from the initial disappointment of the first few hearings and it is nowhere near as bad as it could have been, but nine copies? fuck me, i thought i was excessive having two different copies of THB because of the different artwork on the face of the discs and then going and buying the 10th anniversary edition....

I know Simon Walpole and Dean saw what I wrote, but I don't have it anymore. Basically Barbie Girl works like an essay on men's manipulation of women, and you can find the Manics have made similar points, although I guess they've addressed feminism from a more anti-capitalist view.
I've never quite actually finished it either - What I've done was I've basically taken lines from Barbie Girl/Richey Edwards and put them next to each other. I think the lyrics to Yes work very well in that sense. I also had She Bathed Herself In A Bath Of Bleach... Tried to not get too obvious with the Little Baby Nothing comparison One more OTT, far fetched comparison was 'You can say I'm always yours'/'I really don't mind being lied to', but hey, my biological clock was truly fucked then
