Are you criticising both sides of the argument there? I don't quite understand what you're trying to say.

Comfort Comes is, for me anyway, much more light-hearted musically than Faster. I could imagine them prancing about on stage as camp as can be while playing it, whereas Faster just gives me images of JDB in the balaclava. The first solo of CC just has some sort of comedic feel to it (and yet is one of my favourites) and I'm sure JDB's taking the piss with some of his vocals (again, they sound brilliant nevertheless).

Ignoring the guitar riff for a minute, the drums and bass are VERY different.

Automatik Teknicolour (or however you spell it)


I think that would work really quite well live.

We thought that they wouldn't ever play Sleepflower (again), didn't we?

Seriously though, I think I'll go with 4st 7lbs or something. Something with even a slight chance.

Musically, I'm very technically ignorant, but honestly, to my ears, the two songs sound nothing like each other. But also, I don't think Comfort Comes is lighthearted, the riff is really menacing, and militant. The drums remind me of a march or something.

But Nicky has said that the band will never play Be Natural over their dead bodies And James hates it as well.

If they did, that would certainly put Hendrix's "playing the guitar with his teeth" trick into the shade.

I dont care. Its a bloody ace song.

Or if we wanted to piss of JDB we could shout for 'Thats no Way to Tell a Lie' . Its quite comical to shout out as well.

Well, I don't think anyone should shout out anything really. It's very rude and annoys the band (or Nicky anyway).

Some cunt kept shouting for PCP during the acoustic break, I felt like punching him in the face...Retard.

well yes that is a bit shitty. I'm on about well timed banter. It does create a good atmosphere sometimes too. It was particularly good when JDB did his first solo gig at the Manchester roadhouse

Yeah I guess. I don't ever shout for anything at gigs personally. I just think it's very rude, the manics are not a request band.

I do agree though at times it can be quite funny, but some people who continuously shout for songs all the way through are so fucking annoying.
