Biggest Manics Regret
Did you ever have the chance to see them live but didn't? Saw something rare and didn't buy it? Others?

Sorry if this question has been asked.

Wasn't allowed to go to the Millenium gig, and am still a little bitter about it.

Didn't go to any of the Astoria 94 gigs. Remember seeing the advert in select magazine and not having the courage to go on my own.

My only regret is finding them too late, they played my favourite venue in 1998 apparently.

Mainly missed gigs. I've bought a hell of a lot of rarities anyway, and I've got some good prices.

I was only 15, and my mum wouldn't let me go to Cardiff on my own.

Being only 18 and getting into the band just after the amazing-sounding SATT tour, only got the Big Gig, also not going to all 3 Roundhouse dates, the thought just simply didn't occur to me.

That they have a fantastic back catalogue yet ignore most of it in favour of playing the same songs again and again.

Past Present Future Tour, wasn't well enough to go, but would have loved to, for various reasons.

Missed the P/P/F tour.
If I think of anymore I'll come back.

Several missed gigs. This is the main one though:

Having missed a few opportunities to see them already, I figured the Millennium gig would make for both a great New Year and first Manics gig. I asked my parents, who were pretty strict and overbearing at the time, if I could go as long as I raised the money and found someone to go with. They said yes. Guess they only said that to humour me, because when I finally said I had the money and asked my dad to order the ticket for me, they said "You don't seriously think we're letting you go all the way to Cardiff with someone we don't even know!?" Owned at last minute. I had to sit in the living room watching bits of it on TV, occasionally spotting familiar faces in the crowd. I was fucking miserable, and to this day, I don't like watching the DVD. I regret not telling them I was going to a friend's house that night and sneaking off to Cardiff instead, even though it would've been quite a task at 14.

Otherwise, no regrets I can think of.

I was told to get into them long before I got a Manics CD.

And I threw a Richey poster.

Also, not saving articles/files.
