Made Up Manics Facts

VIDEO SHOOT GOSSIP!
During a break from the video shoot, Nicky was walking around and heard noises from a cupboard? Nicky opened it and discovered a tied up Anna Friel?
When untied Anna said Alanis Morissette had done it take her place?
Nicky didn't raise the alarm however, as he secretly knows James has never got over his Alanis nightmares?
Upon completion of the shot. Nicky couldn't help it any longer and told James the truth.
The filming has now been held back for the weekend whilst the crew clean up the set and studio of James's projectile vomit.

Nick Wire has bought a toothbrush in every country he has ever visited. He keeps them in a pink folder in alphabetical order.

Unfortunately when he visited Papua New Guinea, his Bolivian toothbrush was stolen by Wayne Rooney who was dressed as a Bald Santa Claus.

If you check Nicky's collection of tootbrushes, the Bolivia sleeve contains the line:

- stolen by a greedy ball bag

He still uses the Papua New Guinea bought tootbrush every Thursday night at 11.23 pm.

He changes his toothpaste to suit the relevant used toothbrush.

The A Team film was in fact a low budget docu-drama about the band recording Gold Against The Soul. Sean Moore flipped at the test screening, though, claiming that the actor picked to play him wasn't "black enough". some quick dubbing and several special effects shots turned it into an adaptation of a popular 80s TV show and no one seems any the wiser.

Every time a cricket team takes a bribe baby Nicky cries.

The album was leaked by a vengeful Kelly Jones

Nicky is bagpuss!!!

Cabbage Patch Dolls are actually life sized replicas of Sean as a baby.

What's so special about the Super Deluxe Memento Box version of the album? The clue's in the name: the whole album plays backwards

[Tiortranew]

The theme of the upcoming Super Deluxe editions of Manics albums are going to be based on Christopher Nolan movies. Starting with the backwards idea behind the Memento box, their last album is not going to be released on CD, but it's going to be implanted into your dreams by a team of American thiefs whose leader is Leonardo DiCaprio.

Nicky has a patent pending for using a Dyson while wearing anything in leopard-print. A separate, but adjoining patent covers the use of feather boas in such situations.

James has a patent pending on his Blackstar 'look'. Some guy called Zoolander is challenging it, claiming prior art.

Sean has patented silence, and should he ever choose to exercise his legal rights, could technically claim a license fee from anyone whenever they stop talking, or else sue them for lost revenue.

James doesn't sing, he creates air pressure to create the sound waves.

Nicky plays guitar brilliantly as long as Sean isn't in the room.

Sean can hit an ant at 40 paces with a drumstick

James spoke so fast for the previously unreleased spoken segment of The Holy Bible 20th Anniversary edition's Revol that they had to slow it down in Pro Tools, twice.

If Sean had lost a wager upon a particularly fraught game of darts he played against a well-known sports personality, we would now be looking forward to the 10th anniversary tour of Lifeblood.

Nicky can form pasta with his mind, but hides this skill from the world for fear of the consequences upon the fragile spaghetti industry.

Nicky Wire is actually a character created by Scottish comedian, Limmy

excellent first post, and choice of thread to resurrect

What was to be the secret two-year restriction upon posting in this thread has been overturned by the band for our benefit, using watermelons projected from their eyes (in the appropriate manner, of course).

The Perseid meteor showers are actually not meteors entering the Earth's atmosphere from space, but in fact just collections of spare badges that Nicky discards every so often via Herculean ejections from his garden.

Jeremy Corbyn has attended over 100 manics gigs, always standing towards the left of the centre, regardless of whether that was *his* left or *stage* left.

Sean actually played the solo at the end of condemnded to rock n roll. Its taken JDB 23 years to learn it.
