dude he is plugged in, the chords fit the song, go watch mowtown junk after this in the second solo you can clearly here his rhythm

[jrmarrero96]

@TheTyrants1 When he first started in the band, he was not plugged in or put in the PA. Gradually, as he started to improve, they put him through the PA and he could be heard such as this gig. Having said that, the band and Richey himself made sure he was low in the mix. He also played one chord on the recording of La Trisstessa Durera off the second album.

Hopefully that should settle any confusion.

i think this is one of thier best.

[KosmicFlux]

Bradders on that guitar...what a legend. That solo almost made me wet myself. Oh and Richey was, essentially, the voice of the band. Without his poetic genius the Manics wouldn't be the Manics! Just about everything they had to say back then came from his mind, his pen! So yeah, pretty useless huh? Pfft!

[MCILROK11]

@kefhoops prepare for a virtual battering from the manic followers

[daviscysgod]

It was Richies decision whether to play or not, but he has written all the best Manics songs. (check out the holy bible) Apologies to Nicky who I admire but he himself admits he is nowhere in the same leauge as Richie with song writing.

[bstrdmissed]

@daviscysgod Richey gave James lyrics,as important as they were it was up to the rest of the band to actually make a song out of it,Richey had no musical input into the band whatsoever.

[dickdixon]

Fuuuuuuck! JDB nailed the hell out of that solo!

[kefhoops]

OMG... Richey is not doing anything but posing w/ guitar on stage.

Actually Manics is a one-man band by James Dean Bretfield, and Richey was useless nothing. Amen

[TIMKMAXX]

@kefhoops YOU sir,are a complete and utter arsehole.Go stick your "omg" (That phrase didnt exist back in 93 btw,you spawn of the internet) down your stinking throat.Nothing worse than Big Brother,and Sex in the city viewers(Who probabily play on video games like guitar hero) commenting on a manics vid. gtf of here

[Staff777]

@kefhoops i hope your personal details arnt on the internet, after that comment your like may be in danger from some of the more hardcore element

[eraserhead321]

@kefhoops he could play... just not very well. Plus he wrote the best lyrics ever.

[paleprannock]

Could Richey not play at all? I know he was co-lyricist but he must have felt a bit silly doing virtually nothing on stage.

[SiouxsieSway]

@paleprannock he COULD play. not as good as he wanted to, but he could play!

[maniaczek91]

OMG ! I can't stop watching this !

[ZoahLord]

I presume Richey wasn't plugged that day...great performance though :D

[depechemode1992]

@ZoahLord pretty obvious he was not plugged in...he's just pretending to play some chords which do not even match with the song...look at other live performances, it's always the same chords

[revol85]

[rantottasbajusz]
