For some people that might be important, but for me it's all about the music and the singing in particular!
I'm also thinking if you've been a long time fan or were a fan in the early years you'd be pretty much aware of what they are like after all these years!

As for knowing what they were always really like: sure, and that's why its worth mentioning, and why this flyer put out by Occupy Cardiff is a nice touch. Last edited by Cola Di Rienzi; 07-02-2019 at 01:46. |

Well I'm a Manic Street Preachers fan because of the amazing music and vocals first and foremost. The other stuff that goes beyond that (political thoughts etc) - sometimes I'm interested in it, sometimes I'm not. That's me.

Since you ask, I think the Manics have been used by major corprorations to both recuperate the radical edge of the Situationist International by associating it with such a dullard fanbase, and perhaps also to promote the West's smooth transition towards what Colin Crouch terms 'post-democracy'. Maybe its cruel of us to point out that the Manics are non-political, and that they only every intended to be post-poltiical - even so, they would be a bunch of bastards in my view.

Occupy Cardiff are pathetic, their "protest camp" outside Cardiff Castle was so short lived that if you blinked you might have missed it. They then set up "camp" outside the Unite building on Cathedral Road and had to take that down due to the wind. Building a protest camp outside a union office building is about as non-confrontational as you could possibly get.
If they had any balls they'd "occupy" Queen Street or in front of the Senedd in the Bay. |

These are my opinions, I am not a troll anymore than the happless Wire might be. By the way, am I right in assuming that all those dates listed at the foot of your posts are Manics gigs you've attended. |

Who says I "like them", though?
That's way below the belt and uncalled for! |
