thank christ for that. why cant the other members go missing as well.

Derek · 11.29.2008, 07:21 PM

Richey Edwards was a very intelligent person, sad to see his case being dropped.

[Sandbag] · 11.29.2008, 08:22 PM

the man -is- a genious

That's sad - although hardly unexpected. He was for a while one of the only truly brilliant pop stars Britain had produced, probably since Morrissey.

if he was so intelligent then why was he in the manic street preachers?

_slavo_ · 11.30.2008, 03:38 AM

probably some sort of sociology research, who knows?

I think the better question is why aren't you in the Manic Street Preachers, eh? Why aren't we all in the Manic Street Preachers? There is a place in each of our hearts - and I mean this quite sincerely - where we are all capable, nay, compelled to make really really shit music.

Come on everyone, say it with me - I AM IN THE MANIC STREET PREACHERS.

I feel much better.

i can't believe this is considered news worthy

spot on. I was thinking about that too, considering that he left only a few quid for his parents in the bank, plus the entire world doesn't give a flying fig about Manic Street Preachers these days, let alone the UK.

Bertrand · 12.01.2008, 04:33 PM

Yep.
I remember reading they were the new Clash.
I remember their faces in the NME.
I remember one of them disappeared.
I remember buying one of their first EPs and thinking my understanding of English was probably poorer than I thought.
I remember people in France (was it a magazine) saying they were big in the UK, as a cheap way to create an audience in France.
And I remember seeing one of their videos 5 to 10 years after Richey vanished, and I thought they had a slightly better taste in clothing than Chris Rea.
That was all.

SonicBebs · 12.02.2008, 04:20 AM

there's not many bands i hate more than the manic cunt fuckwits. And i dont think 'hate' is too strong a word.

[Sandbag] · 12.02.2008, 09:05 AM

still, 'the holy bible' and 'gold against the soul' are two pretty fuckin' good albums in my opinion.

Derek · 12.02.2008, 10:27 AM

I think Gold Against the Soul is kinda poor... but The Holy Bible is among my favourite albums.

the ikara cult · 12.18.2008, 05:43 PM

I am absolutely delighted that everyone on this board despises The Manics.
Thats right, i called them by their shortened name because i consider myself one of their mates.

Toilet & Bowels · 12.19.2008, 07:15 AM

The death of Richie Edwards = good riddance to bad rubbish

tw2113 · 12.19.2008, 12:42 PM

I actually love them for the first years, after Richey left, I don't like the music as much.
