The Great Popcorn Debacle of 2014 (formerly Walk Me To The Bridge Official Reactions)

[AK47]

I can't wait to see the video and find out what formats the song will be released in. I truly hope we get CD's and not just digital and vinyl b-sides. Also I hope we get new b-sides and not simply a collection of 02 tracks again.

Have to say I cannot wait to eventually hear demos of these new songs... Especially EGDM and WMTTB!

According to last.fm I've now listened to WMTTB 30 times and oh dear do I love it.... Can't wait to be able to buy it (in case something as self-evident needs to be pinpointed), really do hope there will be at least a 7" available, so one can touch and smell and taste and... er, yeah

[Geranium Terrorists]

That chorus! It's absolutely awful! It's cheesy, dated and absolutely shit! I hate it so much... I cannot believe this. I was hoping it would sound like New Order- it just sounds like some crappy 80s electro pop band that everyone's forgotten about...

I do like the rest of the song. The instrumentation in the verses is very good.

Christ, now the youtube link is gone too...

This is ridiculous.

If only there was some way Sony could make money out of the interest in hearing the song ? I'm sure they have their best minds working on it.

Kinda to be expected, it's an unreleased single, it's not really reasonable for it to be on youtube, as much as we want it.

I'm not holding my breath, surely there should be publicity and pre-order details for a physical may 6th release by now?

So trolling is somebody who has a different opinion to the majority? Kk, whatever you say.

All I was asking is why people are so ready to believe the band's versions of events? Two sides to every story, and maybe one day some of you will be lucky enough to be enlightened. Yes, I'll await jokes about that word 'enlightened', perhaps some kind of holy/Jesus gif if I'm lucky?

Although I think even if a lot of people heard the truth they wouldn't believe it. Not my place to talk, all I say is question everything...

I shall await the usual barrage of irony/insults that you close knit lot bestow on anybody with an alternative point of view! *Puts up umbrella/cunt shield*

Yes! That's what I was wondering. The marketing team have dropped the ball on this. A clusterfuck of appalling promotion. The single will probably sink as much as AFALC did.

As I said before - from mass communication to no communication in the space of 4 years. Someone's head needs to roll.

Personally I think it has nothing to do with you having an alternative point of view, it's more that if you simply post a snide cryptic comment that doesn't present any evidence or in fact a different point of view, why should people change their mind? I've yet to see any reason presented to doubt the band's version.

Why shouldn't they write about him or their relationship with him / his memory?

The band aren't the ones that mythologise Richey, they knew him, warts and all, as a friend, a brother and a son.

Mythologize Richey Edwards? I think the band and their bloated partner in crime (Simon Price) do worse than that! They try to shame people who are fans of Richey Edwards - constantly cultivating the 'cult of' story, without taking heed for every 1 obsessive fan, there were a 100 who weren't that way inclined.

God forbid if R became a real cult/iconic figure like Jim Morrison... because who would actually give a damn about, essentially three session musicians?

It hurts the fanbase too...our activity is heavily connected to Manics activity and news.

Is the 'cunt shield' to protect you from cunts or is it actually made of one? These things need clarifying if we are to take you seriously.
