When someone starts quoting Mr Price, you know they be trolling.

I wasn't quoting the bloated one in a good way.

You be trolling. Saying you know better than the people who knew him with no evidence. Practically the definition of trilling.

We need to ban the works of Shakespeare being performed or studied, we don't know it's what he would have wanted. Ditto Mozart. It's taking liberties.

Sounds reasonable.

SHR - you clearly have an agenda, so what is it?
You're implying the band have lied about how they came about the JFPL lyrics, which is ridiculous, Richey had been giving them lyrics since he joined so why would he all of a sudden want to keep those secret?
Surely if he didn't want them to have them he would've taken them with him when he dissapeared or just burnt them!

And THB is a musically superb album and the while package works because of every member! You're clearly a Richey fan and not a Manics fan.
He's gone time to move on!!

Strange coincidence.

The night they started the HB20 shows was the 10th Anniversary of Pantera's lead guitarist Dimebag Darrell assassination on stage in Ohio.

It would of been interesting if Richey had been round when they started making the fourth album what kind of album would happened.

Find it a little sad that people are now stating this as a fact. No one knows if he's dead, anymore now than they did the day after he disappeared.

Exposure for wacky 'look at me i know more about Richey than the band' theories, with no provided evidence whatsoever.

Plus the fact they've admitted they don't even know what the lyrics are about! 'REVOL - WTF?!' as they said...
It's not like the lyrics and music are isolated from one another. You're accusing three good musicians of being a tribute band to themselves and a bloke who couldn't even play and that's just silly

Well there's more reason to assume he's dead now, than there would have been the day after he disappeared surely?

Not sure why, but even so no one knows.

Because people are more likely to turn up alive shortly after disappearing than many years later.

As you say though, nobody knows. It would be, in some way, lovely for him to be alive and living the life he wants, but I just don't think it's very likely.

As much as I'm not into this 20th anniversary of THB, I have to defend the band on this point. THB works because of the lyrics AND the music. You can't separate the two so yeah, just agreeing there.

He obviously doesn't want to be found if he's still alive. Hundreds of people go missing every year for their own reasons. I don't think you can ever assume someone's dead just because they fucked off.

That's fine, I don't mind it being your opinion but I don't think it's right to state 'He's dead' when it's only that. For years it seemed no one did that until he was declared 'presumed dead' for legal purposes, but since when did Manics fans let the state change their attitude?

Personally I think someone who came across to me as quite an ambitious dreamer would have had something else in mind. I wonder if he's writing novels under a psuedonym somewhere, but don't think he'll ever want to take the mystery off his name and turn up again - as I understand the 'Man on the Moon' man is supposed to be doing - Andy Kaufman I think?

It's not unusual for people to seek obscurity, there's that woman that sings at the back wall now so the audience can't see her face.
