Manic Street Preachers: Interview

[@melissawright1979]

These guys are just amazing. They went through the a harrowing time of dealing with their friend going missing. They got back up and dusted themselves off and carried on but in a way that it doesn't dwell or disrespect Richey's memory or work. They have never glorified nor shunned his vanishing, yet are still here today writing fantastic music and are successful in their own right. Absolute legends, love them x x

[@ludaheracles7201]

He might have been a satanic sacrifice to the music industry

[@TheFringefilms]

As an American, I can tell you that the Manics are my favorite band of all time. We are not all flag-waving followers of the corporate oligarchy. The manics are amazing on every level. To me they are fearless and iconoclastic. Since most of the American public are interested in 'entertainment' as opposed to 'Art', it's easy to see why a band of this high caliber would not catch on. In America, the masses are not interested in truth and sublimity. Most seek safety in perpetual delusion.

Amen, brother.

Great interview by Geoff Lloyd - full of thought provoking intelligent questions.

[@melissab1214]

'she's suffering' is a great song, a fab dark story that you need to get, when I heard it on the radio, many year ago, it gave me shivers. What a song I thought.

[@empav1971]

She is suffering is a brilliant, brilliant song, right there with Every breath you take, only with a much deeper meaning!

[@jamesthecat]

Absolutely, such a hauntingly beautiful song.

[@empav1971]

What a beautifully led interview! Thanks for posting

[@TheMichaelseymour]

all muffin jokes aside - good interview . Best one i've seen so far - takes the muffin.

[@hereticxy]

I am afraid that you very well characterized not only most of American public, but most of people generally. Anyway, I agree that common Americans are known worldwide to proudly present their simplicity regarding complex matters... ;-)

[@Zebradeen]

This is the most honest interview I have seen of Manics. But WHAT is all that stuff just before'She is Suffering? NW' Haven't delved into a box for a while' JDB 'Touche' and then something about the title also being 'touche'.Hmm.I have my own ideas, but will keep them to myself!

[@GreenBitterfly]

I think it's not touche (the second time), it's can I choose another one. Wonder if the delving into a box comment was a reference to him and Richey sharing a bed?

[@jamesthecat]

I think it's just a silly double entendre, and James says slightly the wrong thing.

[@AlisonBryen]

Design For Life also gets played in Jamie Oliver's Italian Restaurant along side Dodgy, Toploader and Travis!

[@stevewheatley2647]

Great interview. Am I one of the few who think SWSS is one of the high spots of their career?

[@AlisonBryen]

Brilliant!

[@glassyfishradical9891]

did nicky forget that hes wearing the sunglasses until 07:03 he suddenly took it off and smiled lol

[@andrea_myers]

@TheFringefilms As another American fan, I agree. =)

[@MattJames1958]

Too left for America

[@ludaheracles7201]

Probably true..but not in the way you meant it

[@anianikka]

@@ludaheracles7201 could you explain?

[@cpinckard3702]

America is Left, but without cohesive, coherent class consciousness and with a deafeningly loud, rabid right wing whack job minority

[@AlisonBryen]

Maybe so but the toilets are very clean in there, proper Thomas Crapper ones!!!!

[@Partoftheratpack]

bizarre choice for a restaurant.
