How will it end?

Since revelations that Nicky had thoughts of quitting the band, before writing WMTTB, I've been wondering how the Manics journey will end? It's not something I enjoy thinking about, just curious. Will Nicky quit, forcing the others to follow suit? Would they carry on without him? Surely not! Will they just keep going like the Rolling Stones?

Glad you asked mate, Nicky will quit, James will retire to try and shag the remaining Spice Girls and Sean will join Traveller's Japanese App as the tour chef. You're welcome.

Nicky will quit but Richey will come out of hiding and they'll release a new album "Not Dead Yet"

OMFG, can't you wait til the official quit day to have a proper discussion about this?!



Who knows. Quality hasn't been an indicator of their willingness to continue and not long ago we were hearing talk of several albums in the next few years. They've all been in this band since they were kids and they're still earning enough to make a career of it, so why wouldn't they carry on?

Personally I'll just take whatever comes as it comes. Jimbo might die in a tragic wanking accident tomorrow.

Nicky sometimes looks as if is heart isn't in it anymore. And James mostly seems tired and weary during all the promo stuff.

"I'm too old for this shit" !!

The only way they'll quit the band is if one them dies!

Nicky has back and other problems on stage, which I think accounts for a lot of the perceived 'heart isn't in it'....it seems like he's the one often driving the writing of lyrics etc though...

OFFS, they all love it, why else would they have put out 2 albums in less than 12 months and then publically said a film sound-track, a break to write and spend with family then back to it? They wouldnt know what else to do - this is their job, career, passtime, hobby all rolled into one. Lets just enjoy a new album and tour eh?

Nicky has enough to buy himself a cyborg body.

They're a proper working class band. They'll retire at 65.
