Playing only the 'easy, slow songs' nowadays at gigs whilst leaving the decent fast ones off. PCP where are you? Stay Beautiful? Yes?....Please no, not slow, repetitive YLAINE again......

It's when they promote drivel that has given them success that gets me - how a 20 year career producing such amazing songs as Solitude Sometimes Is, 1985 and Empty Souls can be dismissed whilst YLAINE can be constantly plugged is awful.

No one could match James. Create a new supergroup type thing maybe, but don't do it under the MSP name.

They do seem to be having a few really random, crap ideas at the moment which will hopefully get forgotten over the next couple of years.

They really thought about a musical?! I was fine when Green Day decided to make a Musical but no way I want Manics to make a musical. that will be pathetic.
