GODLIKE GENIUS MANIC STREET PREACHERS

[meganisashambles]

does anyone have a full version of this performance of motorcycle emptiness?

[seemstarshaped]

I love Sean's face at 5:03.

[TheTyrants1]

Have you got anymore footage of the end performance?? cause i desperately want to see that :)

[VictimDead]

hahaha nicky, wtf, i had a good laugh at his speech, but god they're honest and great

[AmyMuffin]

waaah this makes me cry with pride ;___;

[lemsip]

I saw the Kaiser Chiefs and Alex Kapranos in the audience.

[emotobot]

Haha! Nicky Wire is like an embarrassing drunken auntie at the family Christmas party!  Well done sir!

[BecomingDaria]

amazing. I love Nicky's speech<3

[Bretwantsfun]

with the manics they were always more than an ordinary band everybody knew that from the very beginning. Bit they have a story so powerful there should be a film based on them.

its great to see them get the award they had always deserved and it was for the FOUR of them not three.

Finally....how beautiful is it from 5:52 how the classical music and james' guitar go so perfectly together x x x stay beautiful x x x

[happpydaysx]

@Bretwantsfun omg a manics film O_O dont you'll make me explode haha

I love these guys:D seeing them in october cant waitttt

[NoNameNo4]

Amen to what Hooky said about losing a band member.

[LillyCultSexton]

Thanks for sharin this x

[boeingbloke777]

[DeadEndDoll1]

I couldn't stop laughing the first time I seen this on telly. Nick's so funny when he's had a few drinks.

[stalinised]

God Jo Whiley is annoying.

'I think the loss of Richey had a profound effect on the band really.'

Oh, really? Well how observant! I wonder how much research that quote took?! Moron.

I'm seeing them on Saturday, can't wait...

[Uilliampictcelt]

i seen them at barrowlands 3 weeks ago, they are on top form at the moment, my favourite band of all time (even better than the clash.... just :) ).....

[lightningchick]

@stalinised

you can tell she doesnt have a clue what shes talking about.

[racefaceec90]

i am lucky enough to be seeing them in london.thanks to my friend mark,he has taken me to see them 3 times before,and they rocked on every occasion!!!thanks mate!!!!

[Lovesrichey]

Does anyone have the full video of the manics performance at the end ?

[bekcs]

they miss out the middle section of england. a HUGE amout. i live in a pathetic little city called york..can't manics come here, or leeds, even? that would be better to get to. they are not even playing sheffield or manchester...like, excuse me? what the fuck? i love manics soooo much, and i always miss an opportunity to see them

sorry.......rant over...

xxxxx

[bekcs]

they need to play more gigs! i was very excited to see they had new gigs out, but then saw they are only in london, wolverhampton, dublin, glasgow, belfast and llandudno!!! i tried to see if i could go to llandudno, but then the train tickets were...too much...i am a lowly college student, i cannot afford to get to llandudno :(

[SovereignBeing]

a very underrated band and one that will shortly change the consciousness of the planet..

if ego doesnt get in the way..!

[acupoftea123]

Who´s the guy wearing a red tie?

The Manics definitely deserved this award and I agree, it was well overdue!

[greasyspoon123]

The Red Tie Man Is The Editor Of NME

[j7609]

long overdue, but so well deserved!!!

go Manics :D

and bless sweet Richey too <3

RIP?

[kamilloquai]

I agree, i watched and re-corded the Manics Godlike Genius Award set when it was on tv last year, like you said so well deserved and loved the footage of the Manics showing them from the beginning with Richey up to the present day sadly without him, with words from Jo Whiley, Zane Lowe and the idiotic Steve Lamacq.

[ECMuse]

They fuckin' deserved it!

[importedmusic]

what the fuck does that zane cunt know about the Manics...the pop culture of today wouldnt know talent if it came up and hit em between their ears!

[cinemar]

Yeah I just recently saw this Zane dude interview Morrissey and till then I'd never heard of him. He came across as quite a tosser and seemed to just go along with everything Moz said which is kinda lame for an interviewer.

[ekul7290]

Say what you like about Zane Lowe, but the guy knows his music.

[perpitbla5]

No band had the impact the Manics did on my life.

[spiderandtheflies]

The irony of what Steve Lamaq says!

[MaturitySucks2008]

someday supergrass will get this award cuz there a better band.

[peanut29]

fuck off!

[MaturitySucks2008]

truth hurts

[radcaligirl]

Wow good to see such an awesome band get the props they deserve. I'm an American and their music rocks and also makes me think which is so rare. And I just love Nicky's crack about Gwen Paltrow!

[tikicupcake]

nice hickup there, Wire! ;)

[bootieslaya]

I'm crying tears of joy as I watch this. They are so deserving of this award, which is IMHO long overdue. Much respect to Nicky, James, Sean (and Richey)!

[WlNDAGO]

when i watched this on tv i stood up, wooped and clapped. i love these guy. nicky - you ace bastard! and richey - i love you

[Shoes4eva]

Lol i was so sad i recorded this as i watched it so i could look back at it, such a wonerful moment, makes you proud to be a manics fan and have stuck with them x

[kamilloquai]

Well said Pol, i totally agree' especially as i'm from South Wales myself.

x :->

[PrInCeSsWiRe]

Oh how i adore Nicky.  He really does bring a tear to my eye, especially when he speaks about Richey; but then anytime Richey is spoken about it brings a tear to my eye. The Manics to my are the greatest band in the world and most important band in the world, well done boys. And yes i agree redrabbit84 we did all know! ;D

[abbyaddictionx]

Oh god..

Nicky you lanky piece of shit! :')

Richey.. <3

[redrabbit84]

I love you Nicky!!!!!!!

I think everybody knows that you slept you Richey already ;)

good one Sean!! with the bottle of champagne xD

but I mostly love James :) he's the best

[04gtaylor]

Long live the God like Geniuses!
