    Saw a video the other day explaining that we've all been pronouncing manic Street Preachers wrong this whole time (or at least the majority of us have)

    We've all said it as manic-street preachers when in actual fact they're the manic Street-preachers.

    Always bugged me because I think it's obvious. My argument was always: they're not preachers from Manic Street you berk, they're manic and they're street preachers.

    You're right it's blindingly obvious, but I never thought of it until this thread!

    is nicky wire still wearing sunglasses, and telling everyone how much of a genius he is, and how everyone else is $hit?
    loved everything up to everything must go, and holy bible is a stone cold classic. but they're just pure dad rock for me these days, and nicky wire is a noel gallagher-level bellend.

    Like a couple of their songs but always thought they came from the same school of pseudo-intellectuals as Joey Barton.

    been bang average for many years for me. nicky wire talks like he's fkn Beethoven. not sure what he hears, when he listens to some of the rank MOR they've churned out over the last many years. I reckon he thinks if he puts strings on literally every song, it makes him Phil Spector.

    Everything up to and including "Postcards From A Young Man" around 2010, bloody brilliant, most stuff since then pretty nondescript for me.

    Good point. He says it before the live version of Roses In The Hospital which was on the Revol 12".

    Black Francis is old and fat too (actually he was always fat), but he can still scream (but not whistle) and is on iPlayer too with the Pixies (6 Music Festival).
