[AntSMIGG]

[mattyj1972]

Saw MSP 3 times in 1992 and cant remember them playing at Sussex Uni........ great post tho

[deadpassive]

@mattyj1972 Was the first gig of the year, on new years day :-)

Check out msppedia, it's a good resource for that kind of thing.

[Andre2010]

they must have been a live act worth to see back on those days, but am i the only one who thinks their debut album way too overproduced?

[superfurry92]

Nope. It was far too slick. That's not to say it was crap - it's still a great record - but it dulled the raw edge of the band so much.

[tommyhall12]

yup, it sounded far too sterile - like it was recorded in a hospital

[4our5ive6ix]

give the US mix of GT a listen, bit more rough around the edges

[gallaghim]

@4our5ive6ix I wasn't aware there was a US mix of it. Do you know where it can be found?

[deadpassive]

@gallaghim PM me your email and I'll send you a copy ;-)

To quote 'Democracy Coma'; "Hear Sony control".

[jaynevidamour]

James when challanged always said that Richey played "very quiet guitar", but looking at this seems he could play to some degree maybe only a few power chords. Never the less he was a amazing lyricist and influence on the manics.

[stridesy]

motorcycle emptyness was james attempt at writting a gnr song. remember the wales millenium gig when he started the riff to a very famous gnr song??

[storky666]

wow, i always thought some of the guitar on those first 2 albums sounded a bit like guns n roses, i guess they were an influence after all, absolute magic

[heyaevery1x]

A M A Z I N G ! ! love both songs! :)

[davidofdanica]

the manics musta been pissheads back then, any break in the song and they're at the booze!

[PZK12]

Whatever happened to the fourth member of this group? Anyone know?

[LittleLenin]

[eublepharis]

[drav6]

[thisjigisup]

@PZK12 good question sir. lemme know if you find him

[denzo22]

James is one of the greatest frontman of all time - part vocal genius, part guitar genius part nutter. What a ball of energy. My hero!

[TheresonlyoneGwen]

He's so cute and hot i want to rub ice cubes all over him.

[TheresonlyoneGwen]

Richey is one hot fuk there.

[Chinaboatman]

It's actually Repeat into It's So Easy
