It's amaaaazing! I do love the manicsIt's ace when you find a random thread, isn't it?

. I never expected to find them on tattle?! 
I've loved reading the goss!
Well, the Sean n jdb goss...not so much the Richey bit!
Did not expect to see the manics pop up whilst scrolling through! Had a good read through this morning.
I discovered them around TIMT, I saw them a few years ago in Bath just before their Glasto gig and did wonder what had happened to Sean when he came out with tattoos and piercings that weren’t there when I saw them previously …
I ventured onto the boards sometimes but never really said anything, I find it hard to join in when people already know each other, if it you know what I mean, hence my very few comments on tattle

No idea how I came across this thread.
Seen the MSP 7 times, first time was in the mid-1990's at Livingston Forum, Scotland which was basically a high school gymnasium.
I was a fan club member for years & won a draw to see them play a small gig in King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, Glasgow.
One of the best live bands ever

I've only seen the Manics once!
The millennium gig. I was 15!
I was absolutely obsessed with them in my teens lol.
Started getting into them around the Everything must go years, and then discovered their back catalogue... They're still one of my favourite bands and i'll always have a soft spot for them!
I would LOVE to meet them

Little Seany's a bit of a dark horse, isn't he?!Did not expect to see the manics pop up whilst scrolling through! Had a good read through this morning.

. Eyebrow piercings, tatts, "affairs"...it's always the quiet ones I only came across this thread cos i was looking up something else on google and one of the links was the manics on tattle...i was like, whhhhhhat?!
I was at the Livingston Forum gig, too. It was the warm up gig for the Everything Must Go tour. JDB walked around the audience before it started, and hardly anyone recognised him. He walked past me and I did a double take, so he did the shush sign and winked at me.
Don’t know if I’ve posted this before, but I was at the front for the gig at The House of Blies in Anaheim a couple of years ago. It was only then I realised how much of an enigma Nicky was

Great stuff, seeing James up close there, they were just on the brink of really big success.
I'm an anorak and keep hold of my tickets, stick them in clip frames much to Mrs Chariot's annoyance
What do they look like in person?? Is Nicky as handsome as i imagine?!! Is James good looking in the flesh?? Tell meeeeee!
Nicky's a beanpole with a deep interest in feather boa's & adidas gazelle trainers, James has a cuddly ruggedness, wouldn't like to rile him, Sean's a wee teddy bear, Richey was maybe the most handsome, sadly never got to see him though. RIPWhat do they look like in person?? Is Nicky as handsome as i imagine?!! Is James good looking in the flesh?? Tell meeeeee!
I guess there's something for all tastes in the band
I always had a thing for James when I was young but seeing them in the flesh I was transfixed by Nicky and his feather boa 
James has one of my favourite singing voices ever.
I saw them live and it was fantastic, Nicky wore a feather boa and smashed his guitar up at the end.

From Cardiff Castle in 2024 with Suede, fantastic gig.

James does have an amazing voice!
And as for Nicky...well, let's just say, it's a good job he's gorgeous
Wow! What a performance! And the audience are loving it!
This thread has made me look over their back catalogue, what a band.
Just been listening to Roses In The Hospital, I’d forgotten how it’s almost funky
Never noticed the Bowie influence before (Sound And Vision).I‘ll never forget the EMG era and when A Design For Life came out, it was such a triumph musically, but also in bravery and resilience through loss.
Always remembered
