I preferred Pris to The Answering Machine.

Although Pris were pretty bad ...

Surely being better live than The Answering Machine is a piece of Pris?

Who were the ones that supported JDB on his solo tour? They were terrible? And far too grateful for being given a support slot!

Vega 4? I liked them. I had a huge crush on the lanky bass player too, all too predictably.

I think it was because they weren't doing too well with that line up. Last I heard there was a new line up with a woman in the band.

I fancied both him and the singer, I think its the only time I've looked forward to the support group

I've spent the last year and a bit listening to the Answering Machine's album, I really like them.

After the last decade, I'd take BSP supporting in an instant. Festivals aside, they're the only good act I've seen open for them.

BSP have probably been my favourite support band I've ever seen, not just for the Manics.

And Pris were diabolically SHITE. I felt embarrassed watching them tbh and I've seen some crap bands over the years

I liked Cherry Ghost enough to get a copy of their album but every other support band I've hated.

i would probably go as far as putting bsp in my top 4% of bands i've seen supporting the manics (including in a solo capacity) not within a festival context
