How would you like the Manics to celebrate their 20th anniversary?

Toilet venue tour. Ha, I can already imagine the slagging off they'd get for that if they did.

[Son of Stopped]

But given what a shower of ungreatful cunts Manics fans are... why do you think they owe us anything?

I'd like them to have a big private party and gig, no photographers or cameras. No crowd either!
Where they play loads of rare stuff "for a laugh" and then go on about it in interviews for the rest of the year.

[MausoleumGlam]

All of the options above plus old never before seen pictures, videos and also songs that were recorded but never released, not even as b-sides!
Oh and play some of their old school songs on some gigs.

Well I can dream...

They should have it filmed - then Nicky should bury the video.

Haha that'd be fucking amazing!

The Intense Humming of Evil!

[Hennus]

Ahhhh YES! Thank You!!
I've worked in a record-store for years where the word 'The' isn't used.

[Hennus]

Actually, looking at the title "The Intense Humming of Evil", it seems genuinely wrong to me that it starts with the word 'the'. I can't get my head around it.

This. Definitely a remixed/remastered GT special edition!

20th Anniversary Boxset (including B-Sides and Live Tracks) + DVD and the Wire finally writing down the real Manics bio!!

Oh and paying for the release of No Manifesto is also a good idea... it could actually be the DVD in the boxset, if Elizabeth agrees!

[wireobsessed]

Personally I'd love the Manics to play some really unusual gigs, different places, make an event of it and a special 20 yrs dvd covering stuff we've not seen before and live footage; especially the last night of THB tour. I'd love to finally have Nicky's version of the bands development and history with all the boys contributing to the book. That would be special for me.

I'm sure something will happen and that it'll be great.

A tea party.

[BrianPowell]

I'm not sure really.
Arena Tour or CD Boxset I suppose.
