I rummaged through my local newspaper e-archives for anything Manics and found only this. Spring 1992, the first North American tour.
On Richey: "The prettiest boy in rock 'n' roll is hot to get it on.” Tantalizing! Regarding GT: "Too many songs share similar tempos and arrangements, but the boys play better than adequate.” Fair comment. "Baby-faced stickman Sean Moore is strong on the basics while showing a swift hand with the fills which wouldn't be out of place in, say, the Jesus Jones back line.” That wasn’t really a burn then but it is now. "Edwards and fellow guitarist/singer Bradfield would rather be Slash than Joe Strummer and work hard at getting there.” Fellow guitarist! "Nicky Wire's bass style is the most evasive.” Diplomatic comment. And then a nice little pic of a leaping Nicky captioned as Richie Edwards.
