the more i think about it, the more i think someone should write to the NME and give them a hiding about ignoring the canadian dates. the toronto show was the best one on the tour for crying out loud!

Whatever you say Nicky.....

wouldn't it be lovely if nicky was being nice because he supported obama? *swoon*

On what basis? I only went to half but I wouldn't have said it was my favourite date. It was good but not necessarily the best

The NME journalist was only there for two dates, both of which where in the US so it kinda figures he's going to talk about those, rather than them playing other countries/other dates.

HAHAHA he can try, but he won't be able to keep it up!

Also, there are definitely places in the country where there are larger concentrations of Republicans to piss off, y/y?

But the DC ones are so much more stick-in-the-ass uptight! They NEED Nicky "Bigmouth" Wire to tell them how it is

Disappointing. And who else spotted NME attempting to stake a claim on JFPL? 'They gained the confidence to release it after we gave them the Godlike Genius Award' Sod off! GATS is a great record Nicky, shut up. The gig pictures and those with the fans are way too small as per usual. Was hoping for an in depth look at all of the venues they played and lots more pictures. If you haven't bought it yet I really wouldn't bother if I was you. I've already wasted my couple of quid! The sepia picture of them is lovely, that's about the only decent thing about the article!

there was a truly lovely sense of community amongst the band and the fans. it was like one huge mutual admiration society.

Confession: I would watch this as a reality show.

Still haven't read the article, but from many of your reactions, it doesn't sound like I'm missing much. Will try and tackle it later.

[Chocolate Kettle]

Annoying, last weeks NME would have had us believe that we were in for a big Manics treat (Next week- the Manics tour America) this week Paramore are on the front cover. Still I suppose two pages will do...

Also have NME forgotten that Sean exists?? Yes I know he maybe declined an interview but he wasn't even mentioned!

[The Gutless Wonder]

Dinnae worry. They sometimes forget that Richey wasn't the only Manic Street Preacher!

as there were the other dates as well though and I don't think I felt it any more so at that date which isn't meant to downplay that gig or your experience I just think its a bit rash to declare that gig the best solely on that basis

I'd save your Canadian Dollar if I was you Shannon. You can always read it on here if someone kindly scans it for us!

Sweetheart, someone did scan it a couple of pages back!

Oh man, I'm considering actually making a pdf (not for the bestselling bit, obv).

AAH! You *should* do it, it would be excellent
I can't see the links for the scans that were posted earlier for some reason, boo...;_;
