i think colin newman sounds prickly. i suppose i can hear wire in some of the arrangements on JFPL but nothing else really.
but having said that "chairs missing" and "pink flag" are awesome albums. i wouldnt buy anything else from them.

Never heard anything by Wire as far as I'm aware. Just sounds like typical sniping to me.

It's weird no matter how much I dont like the Manics' material and performances post EMG (with exception to JFPL which is the best album of the decade for me) I get a very visceral reaction towards people slagging them off because they meant alot to me from an early age, I cant seem to overwrite my annoyance. I dont mind if it's an informed opinion made when armed with evidence but they are mainly ignorant arseholes who think they know what they are talking about but dont know anything about the band before they hit the charts. I have been in some pretty brutal musical arguements in the past......I'm abnormal.

Wire are a contrary band, Newman's comments don't surprise me at all, haha.

Accusing Colin Newman of disliking the Manics due to jealousy is as stupid as a very stupid person reckoning a dislike of say, Jamie Oliver stems from a similar emotion. It's just a dreadful defence.
It's sour grapes from Nicky, basically. 'Kidney Bingos' is undeniably a great later-period Wire song.

Kidney Bingos = shit If Wire had made anything as good as JFPL 20 odd years after their inception then I wouldnt accuse Newman of being jealous but as it stands I think it may well be the case.
