OMG, seriously please add a ?, or "---" to this title to stop people having a heart attack!!!!!!!! You really need to stop shocking the hell out of people

(I'd love it to happen but don't think it will, I just think it could be far too emotional for the band and bring up a whole un-opened/firmly screwed shut can of worms that they don't want to go back to

Wire did say recently that they have been offered a ton of money to play THB in full next year. Who knows?

Can't see it though.

I don't think they will tbh.When James played an acoustic electric version of pcp last year in Japan he did write the lyrics on his arms.He could never remember all those lyrics,let alone singing them at full speed.

That's what I think! I was joking, though - they mustn't play it in full because I'm too thick to learn all the lyrics!

I can't sing along with most of the songs and if I listen to them with the lyrics in front of me is even harder.I can image James trying to memorize them

Revisit the exact or near enough exact venues they played on the original tour and recreate the setlists... T-shirts can be a design based on the setlist doodlings Richey did for that date too. *insane idea*

I am actually more excited about 'Futurology' now.

I'm sure he could learn them for a tour, it's not like they haven't played almost all the songs in the last 10 years anyway.

As a massive THB fan I don't see any need for a gig. If they are so against it then don't do it. Why not instead release a mega 20th anniversary edition with double vinyl (UK & US versions), double CD album (UK & US), all demos, B-sides, new documentary, Richey documentary, live footage and some other treats. Stick it in a shoebox and I would pay double or maybe triple a concert ticket for that.

Strangely I'm not all that excited about the idea of seeing them play the album in full. I don't really see the point?

They should do a tour promoting next year's album and just throw in all of The Holy Bible in fragments across the tour, perphaps four or five songs each night, rather than playing it all at every gig.

Yeah why a gig, we should have a THB mini festival in the Summertime, the site should be a mausoleum, of course. A weekend with the manics, eating next to nothing and dressed in camo and sailor suits... Yes, the real deal.

In many ways this would be more subtle and sensible.

I would like a 20th anniversary edition though. My 10th anniversary edition is one of my favourite Manics things ever.
