Random Manics thoughts...

Do you sometimes have an idea that doesn't fit to any of the threads or you think it's silly to dig out one of the old ones? pointless to create a new one? or are you confused and don't know whether to write this either in Manics discussion or in Random Thoughts?
it doesn't have to be controversial, just a thought you'd like to share!

I'll start!

Reasons why Autumnsong is a bad song:
- 90% of the lyrics
- over-produced
- there's no Nicky (or other band members) in the video


EDIT
Please, move it to MSP Discussion general board.

Why does the cuddly bulldog in the front of their tourbus want to be left alone? That's what I wanna know!

Greatest Hits tour is a good idea only if the setlist includes songs like Richard Nixon, Empty Souls, solo singles and stuff ommited on FD, LIKE STAY BEAUTIFUL FFS!!!

Cos he looks like Phil and you don't mess with Phil, get on the right side of him and he'll be your friend for life, get on the wrong side of him and ...well...he'll run you over.

Oh no, sorry to hear that...

My random: pointless Manics trivia really, but the last 3 lead singles off the last 3 albums all have the word 'love' in the title. Coincidence? Yeah, probably.

Because I feel like...like it's me It's like a painting of what/who I am. That's why I don't find it dull at all. Because I don't think I'm dull. (even if it sounds quite arrogant )

This is a good idea! I had a thought the other day which I didn't think fitted into any of the threads which this would have been perfect for. Unfortunately, I've now forgotten it. Never mind.
