Never Want Again - Manic Street Preachers

[RossVoce]

Maybe my fave Manics song - a great riff which James was happy to throw away after playing it twice - he is so unselfish...................sl­avetothechord you are very very right

[SlaveToTheChord]

yeah, James vocals and the lyrics...so straightforward, so naive, so beautiful...the best b-side alongside Donkeys, Are Mothers Saint, Too Cold Here

[RossVoce]

@SlaveToTheChord dude you are on the fkn money

This is the early Manics at their very best: that fabulous mixture of bravado + defeatism; touchingly naive, awkward lyrics + world-weary nihilism; cock-rock riffing + choirboy vocals and sweet melodies. It's like the soundtrack to the greatest tragic coming-of-age/ teenage rock 'n' roll 80s movie never made.

loving james voice on this, esp when it gets layered....woot!

[Rorshach1004]

Richey enjoying his hair. Reminds us all that he was just a self obsessed youth as we all were.

Great song x

[Insolution55]

Probably their best song,went off them in 1997

[Clemen79]

Would somebody pls send me the audio file of this song, please?? Thanks!

[TheMoosetrap]

totally agree with those sentiments...cant believe its nearly 20yrs ago they wrote this! One of James best early vocals and a sign of later things to come absolutely.

[MysteryEdwards]

It's such a shame this and so many other great bsides were not included in lipstick traces
