Early Manics gigs and the chaos
I'm just reading 'Everything' at the moment for the first time and enjoyed reading about the whole chaos, fights and general problems they caused in the early days. One part I just read now was something from an Irish awards show, I searched for a video hoping to find something and sure enough I did, having never seen or known about it before. It's hilarious at the end, James trying to spin a huge amp around and launch it but he falls over, then dives into the crowd. Brilliant haha. I need to find more of this kind of footage if there is any

Here's the infamous Swansea gig where they were bottled off stage...

Never seen this before, thanks! Admittedly the song sounds fucking terrible thanks to the cavernous echo on James' live vocal against the backing track, and did no-one tell Irish TV that you don't have close-up cameramen clearly visible in the longer shots and getting in the fucking way?! Not that Welsh TV would have done it better, probably with ten people and a dog watching it on S4C.*

But that rush of blood to the dick that got Jim chucking stuff around and doing what is the most committed stage dive I've ever seen at an awards show gig... that's fucking great.



*For the uninitiated, S4C is a Welsh-language TV channel watched by ten people and a dog.

I also haven't seen that video before. It's almost funny at the end.

I think the video where James wears the balacalva for Faster is chaotic. I love that he wrote James on it. Also the YLU video where James has lipsitck on his chest and Richey looks absolutely amazing playing guitar.

This video is pretty nuts. 'Natwest - Barclays - Midlands - Lloyds' in 1992 at the Astoria. Nicky swings his bass and takes out the camera/ cameraman at 3:05.
