Agree. And James has often wished the audience a Happy Christmas even if he's playing a gig that's barely towards the end of October!

Sorry, didn't mean to make out I thought they all didn't like Christmas I just thought Nicky might hate all the commercial stuff and the rushing about. James is always so up for Christmas, he's probably even worse now his little one is 2.

Hope they are all loving the build up.

Hadn't noticed this reply, Matthew. I mentioned this in another thread as I'd not heard any reports of James doing so this year.

Cannot believe it's been 2 years since the O2 gig already. Time has flown by.

Sometimes I think he is just trolling us with the amount of dashes he uses, it's ridiculous.

Hey, I gave you a warning. And I'm still surprised I was able to get to the bus station in time.

Nick's been hammering the ol' Twitter the last few days, last two posts below....

Oh+9yrs today empty souls released-reaching no2 in the charts-one of the best M.S.P videos-xx

Meanwhile-spring tour selling really well 35,000 tickets sold already-THANKYOU MANICS FANS--xxx


Good news about the tour of course, but why do the band think Empty Souls had a good video??!

Maybe it's simply just one of his favourites?

Because it required him to do not very much except for having a nice swim, I guess

Wow 9 years since ES came out. I quite like the look and feel of the video but it's a bit dull, it needed more of the band in there doing something.
