I have to say, there are many of us who are as obsessed with the band just like Gutless Wonder. I love the variety of the Manics' output, and genuinely like all their albums. All except Failure Bound anyway but at least that's just one song. I loved JFPL and KYE, but also loved LB and TIMT. The variety is great, they still keep me motivated lyrics wise, and are still a great live act - I understand the setlist moans but as I only do 2 gigs a tour I don't mind anyway, I'm just pleased they are still doing music. The forum does seem to have changed in recent years with more criticism of the band, perhaps even more so than in the 90's when they really changed direction. Maybe that's more a reflection of the internet than the band though.

Anyway, I hope the single does well, I do wish though that the video cut to live footage at the climax of the song, that would have been euphoric.

Well said JimmiB!

what label is it on? Frilly Pink? that's that new label just for gays, isn't it?

i suspect More Bad News, in particular the bit where they pretend to be The Who the night before they play Castle Donnington, is probably what inspired the Manics to form a band in the first place.

That's ok. I just thought you should know that there's other people just like you out there, just maybe not as vocal about it!

For those that expect Generation Terrorist/Holy Bible era manics, go and listen to those albums, they have been done - move on!
The reason this brilliant band are still going is because they try NEW things, and why not? If they kept doing the same thing they would be the same as all the other appalling bands out-there.
Each of their albums for better or worse are at least vastly different from the last. To me this is the mark of a truly great rock band.
I'm sure what I am trying to say has been said more eloquently before, but I had to at least have my say!
Right small rant over :0)
I must also say I admire 'The Gutless Wonder' for his/her (sorry I'm new here don't know your gender!) devotion - it makes me smile

Opinions are of course subjective, but blimey at the very least wish the band success! I'm pretty sure they were haing a pop at the negative internet posters in 'Masses against the classes' "Success is an ugly word especially in your tiny world" and I couldn't agree more.
Anyway, just my opinion, not trying to cause an argument - ignore me if you like :0)

Exactly how i feel about the band..trying new things is why i look forward
to their new releases still..

Also..SKON is by far my fav song from Postcards and really like the lyrics
and music...hope it does well

Yeah plus if they have to cancel strictly, daybreak, something for the weekend etc...I doubt anyone outside of the fanbase would even know they have a single out.

Which if he's bad enough to have to cancel Blackwood could happen. Or, he could push himself to sing on strictly, and make it sound bloody awful if his voice is bad.

Poor James, he could kill the single.
