It never ceases to amaze me the seemingly endless intolerance manics fans have for support bands and i've been guilty of this myself but sleaford mods are legitimately great. Also, if they're good enough for iggy pop then they're good enough for me.

Sorry but I’m not usually “intolerant” to support acts, some of them have gone on to be some of my favourite bands in the past (BSP, Delays, I also really enjoyed Editors on the EMG20 tour and was a massive fan of them years ago in any case). In your opinion they are great, in mine and plenty of other people’s they really weren’t. Music taste is entirely subjective at the end of the day.

Sleaford mods were shit .. I don't care how great their lyrics are supposed to be...
A couple of recent support bands I've liked enough to buy albums and go to gigs are public service broadcasting and Wolf Alice .. Not intolerant to support bands either

26 years and about 50 gigs in, and the lack of new material, or anything other than the usual 15 songs + 1-weird-old-album-track is getting boring.

Hmmm let's see... i've enjoyed hope of the states, public service broadcasting and quite enjoyed wolf alice, i guess. Manics fans are well known to not favour support bands as a whole and anecdotal evidence is not dissuading me of that.
Sleaford mods are still great - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEYYI1ii0AU

And one person saying Sleaford Mods are great won’t dissuade me from thinking they’re terrible either

This thread could go on forever this way
I do actually think Manics fans get a bit of a harsh rep though re: support bands. Im usually at the front of gigs and mostly people around me just stand and listen and politely applaud the support bands. What else are you supposed to do when watching a band you might not be familiar with or like? Towards the back I suppose people are more likely to chat and go to the bar, but they do that during the Manics sometimes as well! The few support bands Ive gone on to see at their own gigs have been populated by other Manics fans I know (Delays, BSP and PSB have all been popular with Manics fans). Yeah there have been some support bands that havent gone down well, but thats true of all gigs. Most people are there to see the headline act to be fair and arent under any obligation to love the support band as well. Its not as if the Manics themselves (well, Nicky anyway) have never been spiky about other bands in the past either

i saw PSB yesterday at h'smith apollo, willingly, paid my own money to see them headline and they were fantastic. same goes for BSP. if i were to go through Sleaford Mods supporting Manics for the whole tour, like BSP did back in the days, you'd never hear the end of it. let's never have them ever again. also, awfully rude to Manics fans on twitter.

I can't go to bed yet, someone is wrong on the internet...

Maybe this goes to the heart of it: manics fans attend so many of their gigs they build up an intolerance for support bands they don't like. I'm not invested enough in any other band to determine if this is true for their fans. Still seems to be a uniquely manics fan trait though. I say this as someone who had to stand through ian brown, razorlight, the enemy... Quote:

Ironically, in the short time I’ve been reading comments from Sleaford Mods fans (or indeed the band themselves in the case of Twitter) either on this forum or on Twitter, the one thing I’ve noticed is they really don’t like anyone saying the band are shit to the point where they won’t let it drop that another person dare have a different musical opinion. So I guess it’s not just Manics fans who are oh so intolerant
