Richey Edwards RARE Lost Video (Extremely Bizarre!!)

[@Katiebop89]

Wherever Richey is now. I hope he's happy and peace. He was an incredibly tortured soul.

[@Rorshach1004]

He certainly was. I think the fact that he never found love tipped him over the point of no return. We all need someone.

[@Katiebop89]

​@@Rorshach1004 I honestly wonder how I ever went past the 27 mark too. I'm coming up for 10 years on that now. Mad fact is he disappeared on my birthday. I wish I could have met him.

[@Rorshach1004]

@@Katiebop89 I see Richey in lots of people today. Sad, lost, shy, looking for something, anything.

[@Lynseyhogan1]

I don't agree with tortured soul comment at all... think about what you are saying? I have never seen this footage before, and it's beautiful. Doesn't look like a tortured soul to me.

[@newkekarmyreee4788]

He was definitely right handed.

[@emikobcat]

Oh our beloved Richey demonstrate his artistic drawing ability while waiting/killing time between interviews etc by drawing a cute cat, Welsh castle, a king (himself?) and gathering of adoring people below (?) in Japanese TV studio around 1993. He looks amusing himself in nice shape, his long eye rushes so beautiful though he was too modest. Not only a genius lyricist, mastermind, and competent rhythm guitarist by then. Nicky Wire and Japanese interpreter seem happy watching Richey making a masterpiece. Alas, If only the conversation was recorded, I could have make lough Japanese to English translation and it could have been so lovely. Richey was going to develop / worsen his mental health problems, but please understand they are medical issues and give all patients some respect and kindness. Richey was willing to take medical treatment and improved a lot. It was in 90s when psychological/mental health/psychiatric medicine were not advanced yet, and discrimination didn't help anyone suffering. His celebrity and stress caused it further still, resulted in his disappearance in 1995. We still live in hope once day we may meet him, as Nicky, friends and sister, and lot of fans of Manics do. Let's be positive and kind, in post COVID world as so many need little hopes and support one another. Richey and us needs beauty love and understanding in this cruel brutal world.

Going by Richey and Nicky's clothes, I think it might have been filmed backstage during their appearance on Terebi Kanagawa in Japan on 5 October 1993.

[@Rorshach1004]

1993 period seems accurate to me, going on the appearance of Richey. He has biceps. I know he was curling dumbbells around that time period.

[@Onmysheet]

​@@Rorshach1004Richey worked out? Never thought I'd hear that.

[@Rorshach1004]

@@OnmysheetYeah. He did loads of sit-ups, press-ups, and dumbbell work. You can really tell by the definition on his biceps in this vid.

[@Onmysheet]

@@Rorshach1004 I thought James was the one who worked out, as he did a lot of boxing. Can't see Nicky doing any of it.

[@Rorshach1004]

Yeah, James trained on the heavy bag, and went for runs. Boxing training. Richey trained more for aesthetic reasons. I don’t think he ran, and as he was a heavy smoker he wouldn’t really be in the best cardio shape. He just wanted to look good.

Could have gone without the clickbait sensationalized title, don't you think?

[@Rorshach1004]

Nah. I like click-bait titles. They do their job v well.

[@steffanhoffmann]

Nobody seems to have dealt with your question. I'll try. The castle represents control. The wall the barrier. People below it get near breaching it. But don't quite get there. The 🙀? I am not sure. Better effort than others here though. Who only concentrate on themselves. 👇 The smartphone lot. 👇 Richey wasn't around at the onset of the smartphone. Had he been? He'd have had a "field day"

[@Rorshach1004]

Imagine him now, with everything that’s going on in the world. His lyrical content would be absolutely mind blowing. I miss his mind. As for the castle, have you heard about Curtis Yarvin, and his theory of the cathedral? I believe it to be very relevant here.

[@steffanhoffmann]

@@Rorshach1004 No. Mundana and Mutopia. It's deep. I've just read it. But there's another thing....In 1999, the year of the Linux desktop, Eric S. Raymond wrote an influential essay called “The Cathedral and the Bazaar.” As for Richey? I'm the same age as the Manics. I'm from Kensington and Chelsea in London originally. I lived in Blackwood 4 years. My German dad, was a top man in Ford Engine Plant Bridgend, South Wales. Closed recently. I saw them a lot in one local cafe. It's gone now. Can't remember its name. They were interesting even then. Since then I've travelled to 36 countries, either with my job or as a tourist. Currently reside in Alanya region 🇹🇷 of the beautiful Med Sea climate. 320 sunny days a year and heavenly for an Englishman 😂 If Richey's still alive, he'd still have interesting views. The latest info I read about 2 years ago. His sister was at a missing person's conference in Cardiff. Latest theories were 2. 1. He stagemanaged it. Based on members of his own family doing it but later reappearing. His schoolwork was full of things like it. Famous authors doing it too. 2. He may have been abroad when that giant Tsunami struck in 2004, Christmas time I think. On his way back, but perished there.

[@Rorshach1004]

I (sadly) fear that he buried himself (like he mentioned in one of his songs) and misdirected people by putting his car at a S hotspot. He wanted to leave a rock and roll mystery, and succeeded in doing so. Glad you got out of the UK. Wise decision.

[@steffanhoffmann]

@@Rorshach1004 Late reply sorry. Interesting, I never thought of that aspect. No rain here since 20th May. 40c ➕ since 25th May, until today @ 30th August, 2024. It's 35c. September forecast has been put at 32c. Was the longest stretch of heat in this region of Turkey since records began, but I got used to it 😂 Yes I made the correct decision. and thanks.

[@Lynseyhogan1]

Maybe instead of analysing him.. he was just drawing on the board for fun?

If suffering were in any way meaningful, THIS would be extremely meaningful. Sadly, though it is not and suffering's useless. Now get on with the canon.

[@Rorshach1004]

Okay. Suffering can build character imo. It depends on the individual though. Some sink, others swim. I’m in the latter category.

[@LILBABYN0THING]

@@Rorshach1004 That's what Lady Di said

[@emikobcat]

It's not bizarre. I am a visual artist and if you got a time and need to kill time, we draw or sketch to use time more creatively and keep the feeling of bored out of my mind. Learn from Richey. Nicky learned so much from his best friend, to write lyrics by himself, make art, alone and express his never ending love for Richey in Manics's songs.

[@Rorshach1004]

Okay
