Why not?

Because it's a music gig.

Wooo few highly strung people on here lately!
It's supposed to be a spectacle - and if I remember rightly (which I do) people used to love the raw/rough sounding Manics! |

OK...? It's unreasonable for people to think a gig should focus on the... music?
As for 'lately', I've been here for 7 years. Hi.

In which case why did Richey ever bother getting on stage with them? If it's just about the music that is.

Because he loved attention/adulation/teenage girls?
And, more to the point, because he had stage presence which made the other three more confident and perform better.

If we're honest I wouldn't have had zero qualms about Richey staying in the shadows just scribbling lyrics while the actual musicians were on stage, but he was an official band member and he wanted to be there so therefore he did. Which is irrelevant anyway and doesn't really have anything to do with the an augmented sound sounding superior to a simplistic three-piece band when the vast majority of their compositions have more than a simple three-instrument backing.

When they did THB tour alot of the GATS songs sounded a bit lacklusture without the keyboard backings, so i guess if they did it as a 3 piece it would be a bit like that except i can't imagine it transferring very well to the 02. Unfortunately, the 02 requires a big sound so my bet is they'll stick to the current lineup or add even more musicians such as a string quartet.
If they were going to go out as a 3 piece they would've been playing a much smaller venue. |

I'd much prefer them with Wayne, means James can do more guitar wankery.

Visually they look so much better as a three piece. Or at least when on smaller stages / Tv shows. I thought they looked really cool on the Jo Whiley show tonight. JDB looks great with trimmed beard, a nice haircut, a sharp suit and a white Gibson Les Paul.
