Calm down dear!
Some of us like to collect Manics magazine covers, me for example. It's our money, we can buy it if we want to.

yea it's just a bit of a shame this one has *welcome to the w*nk dungeon* on it

[TStenner]

is this a normal edition of NME/can i buy it in the shops or do i have to order it?

[Mr Richey]

Really? They're still using the "Richey Manic" tag after all this time? I wonder when we'll get the "Kurt Nirvana" poster or perhaps the "Sid Floyd" one?

Actually it's Syd Floyd. I'm hoping for a Bon Bon Jovi one (strawberry flavour).

"Richey Manic" just sounds so utterly stupid to me. It always has done.

i've always liked it

[MarilynRoxie]

Did Richey ever refer to himself / sign anything as "Richey Manic" at any point in time or was it a name bestowed to him by the press only?

I blame McDonalds. They started it. Ronald McDonald isn't his real name.

no it was the press.. it was just shorthand for Richey from the manics i guess. They did the same with other bands..still do

[Blixa]

They only ever use it in connection with Richey, though, never James, Nicky or Sean. He's not actually in the band anymore, making it even more puzzling.

[wireintheblood]

Has anybody not noticed on the NME website it says "as they prepare to bow out...." Does NME know something we don't and that the two year break may be permanent??
