Manic Street Preachers - The Vanishing Of Richey Manic (Part 2)

[Canashea]

those fans almost make it sound like because richey self harmed it's okay and cool to do it. it's not-speaking as someone who has self harmed.

[ragtimegals]

I thought that the fans were pretty and seemed quite intelligent.

[Dendiol]

Richey is alive. I saw him yesterday, buying baguettes in Morrisons.

[AndPlus]

As open minded, liberal and non judgemental as I am, its embarrassing that the fanatics depicted in this programme could to the uninitiated make fans of the Manic Street Preachers as a whole appear to be a bunch of losers.

[serpentchimera]

I think that when he (Richey) took his own life he wasn't planning to make it look like that he'd disappeared. That kind of happened coincidentally.

[NeedleFactoryTube]

Steve lamacq could have done something but l presume he was thinking 'wow this is going to get me a cover story'

[SeriouslyRandom20]

This is just an embarassing

[TashesxD]

Those fans, are an embarrassment. Completely polar to what the Manics are actually about by the looks of it!

[BejnXander]

Becky Craig claimed Richey stole lyrics from her.

[ChrisCarter1983]

@BejnXander lol i hate cunts like that.

[MolkoxLewd]

Steve Lamacq has such a rat-face

[DontGoQuietly]

Those fans not only show up other Manics fans, but really trivialise such serious issues as self-harm and eating disorders. It's pathetic.

[SuckMyFarts]

man fuck boy george that wanker faggot

[itnice2]

suicide is painless is'ent even there song it a cover

[calythethird]

"everthing i did was because richey did it" ooh it's a good idea to put cigs out on your arm, and cut yourself up in the name of richey!

what abslute tools, richey is my geunine idol but she is scary weird

[MachineChrist]

How can some ppl be so selfish: "I was kind of angry at him for leaving after all he did".

The man didn't want to keep doing that because it was very painful for him.

It was about his welfare and sanity.

It is very painful for me seeing how he was destroying himself just to get his message across. He was beating his brains out and some ppl got his statements completely wrong. I bet that broke him.

[BeLIEeve196]

wAS RICHEY VAN GOGH

[TorysApollo]

"a young man who gave no name" I'm sorry but who actually does go into a taxi and say "Hi, My names Kelvin Klien!"

[amytriptalene]

erghhh,its like a horror this crap documentary,creepy background music, scary fans, cutters sendin horrific photo's to a mentally ill guy? and the taxi bit's like a rip-off of crime watch!...and then the fans said they were angry at him!oh sort ur head's plllllease! .but thanks for postin!:)

[TorysApollo]

Looks like those female fans have been taking their styletips more from boy george than Richey haha.

[booski]

Who would have thought that Boy George would be the most learned and truthful person in this video?

[menacelamenace]

those two girls are far from the best representation of Manics fans.. 

[flatulenceisbliss]

richey was cool...but those fans are retards.

[juliannebonner]

Idiots who starve and cut themselves just because they've seen a musician do it make a mockery of those who are GENUINELY ill. Bunch of losers.

[mattwithlove]

@juliannebonner agreed

[jennytot86]

doesn't help the stereotype that us manics fans are creepy, obsessive and lack a sense of humour...jesus!

[innit27]

he wrote furreal on his arm - he went to hospital and i went home and slept like a baby and told the story at numerous dinner parties

the bigger the twat the bigger the hat, see boy george for details

but there was no phone at pontypridd station oh my gooooooooooood!

he asked me to wait outside a bank while he went in wearing a balaclava, i became a bit suspicious at that point

[MrDrummerpaul]

I think the fact none of the remaining band members were willing to take part in this programme speaks volumes for its lack of credibility.

[aliaemar22]

the horror,the horror...

[Bretwantsfun]

im a huge manics fan, but i dont look anything like them! thank god..

[degaulle30]

tell you what is creepy. if the guy in the taxi wasnt richey, who the hell was that weirdo?

[Bretwantsfun]

fuckin hell! i never though of it like that! youv just creeped me out lol

hes probs an escaped convict like the driver said....

[Oscar301]

I don't dislike Boy George, but throughout this prog he just misses the point entirely

[darcknight49]

Steve Lamacq is such a slimey wanker in this video, Richey would probably hate this documentary.

[Gavin66627]

We bleed alone and we die alone

[smithsfan92]

my god those fans were scary

[Sophie27987]

@smithsfan92 A lot of them are!

[Noirie93]

Fat goth cunts at the beginning really aren't doing it for me =/

[xxFlourellaxx]

The voice-over guy on this makes me laugh every time, he sounds like a murderer or something

[lilianmazzy67]

Where are these prats? Always 'av loved to bump into em one day, haha... Would ya roll in shit if Richey did it?

Richey used to clean his teeth didn't he? And not look an' sound sad "I'll lick your arse to eternity" dickhead.

[acupoftea123]

I´ve seen your stupid videos where you walk on the Severn Bridge and call for Richey, so why don´t YOU just shut up?

[Lovesrichey]

This documentry pisses me off..

[Lovesrichey]

"If suicide is painless, why doesn't he just slit his throat and shut the fuck up" - Boy George circa 1992 about Nicky Wire. Should somebody who took this attitude towards one of Richey's closest friends really be on this, talking like he loves them?

[specialness16]

@Lovesrichey everyone says stupid things at some stage in their lives I guess

[ryanexpress34]

@Lovesrichey you have a point, but look at where Boy George was in 1992...he had a huge hit with Crying Game, but he had been dealing with heroin addiction and all that from the 80's and was possibly doing drugs then too. His insight on how hard it was to handle fame (and knowing his drug problems, I take his comments in this more as insight, and his comment then, as maybe just a way of saying suck it up nancy, coming from experience, like he said about being self-destructive as being worthless)

[lfcportstewart]

I remember this at the time it was aired. The documentary is total fucking rubbish (although I think that Lamacq and simon Price bring a lot of intelligence to it). Having said this, it is an interesting piece and a magic post. Fuck Boy George and Shaun Rider though - complete and utter wankers. Worst in the world.

[lilianmazzy67]

Steve Lamacq and Simon Price off on a boat, would just look absolutley lovely.

[Nabbymacnab]

Agreed, i'd heard it was shit - but thanks for putting it up cos i wanted to see it. But yeah it does just come across as if it wasn't researched well. Or maybe Boy George is just pissing me off?

[Partoftheratpack]

This is a pretty bad documentary to be fair.
