NME next week

[Bathtub]

Who would have known that Paramore could inspire so much hatred.

Thanks MSPKYE!

I don't understand many things... It's very strange what they say about GATS, it's 16 year-old-record, they have done many changes in their style, really strange. And GATS is still better than all the things they have done in 00's except JFPL (maybe that's why they've finally started to slagg it off). Instead of stop playing some classics (ME, Design, YLU etc.) which would be logical they keep them and laugh at GATS (and play LA Trisstesse and Despair every night) - cheap bitches they are

I saw Dizzee Rascal as a RHCP' support. He was awful. Really awful - the worst performance I've ever seen...

Well, I think any revisionist thoughts about that album would be a blatant lie! As a whole, it's a pretty crummy album...the passage of time couldn't possibly make it sound any better.

Yeah, Im so not buying this mag for two pages especially when it looks to be an article focused on how they toured only America...typical!

Thank you very much for posting these scans, but unfortunately, I can't read it. Anyway of making it bigger?

Click on it and then click on it again and click one more time and it should zoom in. Worked for me anyway.

And Wire, Wire, Wire and his box of bitchiness at the end - after what he'd said about being nice now ... he just can't do it can he? I can't believe he's name dropping about having been on a plane with Lady Gaga though - who hasn't?

Lady ga Ga is fabulous Amanda. Accept it!

Wheras La Roux is not. She's not weird at all. Or interesting. I know who did her makeup for the Bulletproof video and she had no imput in it or the clothes she wore. Just a dull girl who's got a chip on her shoulder because she'll never be Alison Moyet.

I don't believe I ever suggested she wasn't? I was quite jealous when she was on my flight as she had killer heels and I was wearing wellies, I felt so underdressed, which isn't a common issue for me.

1) Am I the only person who actually enjoys large bits of GATS? Sometimes in a guilty-pleasure sort of way, yes. But still!

2) Hahahaha oh Nicky, never ever change. Your rants could fill a book and WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN DONE YET

Yeah, normally that's the case (I know it's just semantics, but it's a bit ignorant to say the least) however in this situation, it's clearly a documentation of their "US Tour". It's no biggie though - we're used to being snubbed in favour of the glitz and glam of US pop culture. It's just a bit frustrating when a band like the Manics encourage that perception as well. Old habits never die I guess.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's lovely that American Manics fans are being highlighted for once, it's just a bit of a downer that Canadian fans (yeah I know, they only played two shows here, but they were both good shows) aren't even acknowledged. Oh well, typical media indulgence.

Ah sorry, I was being sarcastic! I was agreeing with you that Canada usually gets completely ignored, and it's very strange since Canada's only the second biggest country in the world and is a major power.

1. I agree! It was the first Manics album I heard, got into and I still think it's fantastic. Nobody else seems to agree though, which is a shame

2. Agreed again, The Little Book of Wire would be a bestseller.
