[@attentionaddicts]

at 2:29 you can hear richey playing!!!

[@Mateo_F33v]

Se nota que casi no toca la guitarra, no se escucha el sonido

[@leehawkins616]

Absolutely you can! Whilst he probably wasn't all that confident or competent he did have the basics down. Just imagine how he could have built on that if he chose to do so. I'm a bad and lazy guitarist myself, but it's not so hard playing these early Manics tunes, from the perspective of rhythm guitar. Makes me wonder why such a big deal was made of Richey 'not playing'. Even if he didn't play on the albums, which I suspect is completely true, he could have confidently said he plays live with his band. We don't all have to be Jimmy Hendrix (or James Dean Bradfield!). I think the 'not playing' stuff was, whilst to an extent true, also just something the Manics allowed to entwine itself into the legend of the band. It really used to piss some people off back in the day. What a silly thing to be annoyed about. But the Manics liked annoying people a bit more back then. Great stuff. Long live Richey Manic!

@@leehawkins616 but of course his primary role was as lyricist anyway .....

[@secallen]

@@leehawkins616 Richey never recorded guitar. James and Sean never wrote lyrics. This interdependency was part of the magic.

[@leehawkins616]

@@secallen Seriously? Secallen, there is nothing you can tell me about the Manics I don't already know. I'm certain of few things in life, and that is one of them. I didn't say Richey recorded guitar , what I said was I agree with the OP that you can hear him playing in this recording of a live performance. I can play guitar. I watch his fingers move. He makes the correct shapes for the appropriate chord he is playing. Listen again, if you can't hear the rhythm track make sure you have some decent speakers. Quite why your reply is highlighted I don't know. Sure, it is a statement of broad fact about the manics, but Richey played live with the band and there a numerous examples. He was no Jimmy Hendrix, he sticks to the route chords, but he can do it. That's not to say he didn't choose to turn his amp down completely on a huge number of occasions, presumable when he wasn't feeling confident, but on good days he could do it. It's right there in this video. I can't understand why you could challenge this, you just have to listen, and maybe just know a tiny bit about guitars and how it would be impossible for one guitar player to play both lead and rythmn parts at the same time. Does anybody else want to weigh in on this? I rather feel I have been outvoted on something which is clearly happening. You are right, he didn't record, but he did play whilst other people recorded him at gigs. Do I have to be so extremely pedantic just to make somebody listen to something which is right in front of them? Or maybe it wasn't Richey. Maybe they had some other guy backstage playing out through Richey's amp. It would be the best kept secret from the most devoted of fans if that was the case. Occums razor, and my ears, say that on various songs available Richey is amped up and plays the correct chord for the part of the song they are playing at that moment. If you genuinely disagree, please explain the rhythm guitar parts one can hear whilst James is playing something else, or indeed not playing at all.....

I don't know what would have happened to me if I lived at these times and discovered them at their outbreak, it would have been prophetic and emotionally draining at the same time

[@stevematthews4214]

Tal Aviram it was a fabulous time to be alive. I’ll never forget jeering Generation Terrorists for the 1st time.
