"his signature is imprinted into the grip end of the stick under the sports tape". I decided at the time I didnt want to peel the tape back to look if that might be true or not, but over time the material of the tape has faded and is now almost transparent ... sure enough Sean's signature is on the stick etched into the wood.....
Ahh, I don't have the balls to unwrap the grip!

Haha, drum stick sizes are classified by their width and weight No worries though, they're probably a regular 2B or 5B, don't go defacing them.

Excellent work with the drumstick. I've caught a few in my time, but not at Manics gigs.

On a similar line to the title of this thread, 30 Manics gigs and I've still never seen them play Elvis Impersonator!

I got given one by security once because he felt sorry for me, due to the amount of times I got kicked in the head by this crowdsurfer. He didn't seem to want to give up!

I caught a half-smoked cigarette of James' that was thrown out after a gig, always thought that was a nice piece of fielding.

I'll never forget seeing a bottle of Ocean Spray on Ebay that apparently Nicky threw into the audience in 2001

I wish that symbolised Ocean Spray being thrown out of the set

Yeah, although it's not something I particularly look out for, I can't remember him doing it too often.

Perhaps it was an end-of-tour thing?

At £12 a pair, I wouldn't go chucking them in the crowd every night Then again Sean probably gets them cut price as part of an endorsement, maybe.

I was wondering who got that

I've seen a video from a festival and I think James is playing 'Raindrops'. He starts complaining about the guitar and he throws that in the audience haha
