Nicky and Richey - Gimme 5

[TorysApollo]

I bet that kid (next to Richey) had to think long and hard about his sexuality after that day... :D

Nicky looks soooo good in this.

(I will stop commenting this video)

[TorysApollo]

they can really pull of the miss selfridges clothes (of the 90's...jesus! I wish miss selfridges was still like that) so cute

that interviewer in the stripey shorts looks like he's got issues.

[kitto42]

'tom Jones, he's welsh isn't he'

= Most banal thing ever said in all history!!!

[pennydreadful666]

I love Richey's little quips when they ask slightly stupid questions - 'Go and visit the sheep' .

And not spoiling your makeup is an excellent reason not to mosh (Y)

[RICHEY95MANICSTREET]

Richey on the subject of 'moshing'

"just shake violently, and look very silly"

Excellent!

[musicsnobtobe]

'You're gonna be performing later...' er what exactly? A little bit of 'From Despair to Where', 'La Tristesse Durera', or perhaps 'Life Becoming a Landslide'. I love the idea of these two presenters announcing these one of these titles five minutes after 'Scooby Doo' has been and gone.

[calythethird]

they geuniely did play from despair to where :'D

[thebigmarvinski]

out of all the Nicky and Ritchie interviews I watched today, Jenny Powell asked the most sensible questions

[kamilloquai]

When asked about moshing, Richey: 'just shake violently, and look very silly'

Love it!

Bless you Richey.

[alikavali]

This is one of my favourite clips ever.

It's got everything. Richey... Scooby Doo... The Manics and Scooby Doo? It's like have Joy Division on before the Teletubbies.

[musicsnobtobe]

Ian Curtis and the Teletubbies?! Thanks for that image, it's just caused me to spit my drink out in laughter and wreck my keyboard :P

[bekcs]

this seems to be a bit of a weird show for these guys to be on... hmmm... but at least they seem to be enjoying themselves....

"shake violently and look silly" fucking piss funny ! :D

miss selfridge?!?!?! i have never been in there! this i did not know.... i should probably go look in there and pull out some 90's nicky wire GEMS!!! :D

[mjmorrow]

What on earth were their managers putting them on Gimme 5 for?

[ETXIII]

God that guy's almost as big a tit as Terry Christian when he did The Word.

[Todriveyouinsane]

"Do you ever go to wales anymore?"

"To visit the sheeps, yeh"

Made my morning :D Nicky looks adorable.

[j7609]

redman - i don't get why you think what Richey said surprises you. can you explain?

[redman8903]

"Do you go to whales anymore?"

Richie "Yeah to see the sheep"

lol surprised he got away with that on morning television

[stubrisstubris]

I bet they preferred talking to these two than to some of the pretentious twats of the music press.

[SteffWirexD]

Fucking Hell Them Presenters Are...Well....Twats. And Whats With The Tom Jones Bit?? (He's A Hip Wiggerler)

[ETXIII]

What's with the twat of a presenter?

& Manic Street Preachers on a kids morning show XFD.

[xPenguinsGoRAWRx]

whose good idea was it to put these two on a kids tv show??? lol

[DemolitionLover90]

Did she just say ENGLISH rock!? Bent bitch they're Welsh! What an insult

[j7609]

@Demolition - i don't know. in the beginning, i believe she was referring to their musical influences and roots, but it's hard to tell the way she phrases it. However she did say later that "you say you're an English rock band, but you're actually Welsh aren't you"? Richey responded by saying "it's the same thing though".

Cheers!

[DemolitionLover90]

Ugh, It's not the same thing. Welsh should be proud.

Cymru am Byth

[j7609]

@Demolition - yeh, I know. But it seemed like early in their career, they didn't like being from Wales. They always had bad things to say about it, like how boring and dead it was, etc.. but now it seems they've embraced where they come from and are proud of it.

Cheers!

[swishie]

ahh miss selfridge :D

i want to marry the kid with the baseball cap :'D buff stuff!

[mychematthedisco]

i used to watch this show as a kid lol.

and that woman is definitely flirting with nicky. halfway through the clip she kinda looks like she wants to eat him.

[ThisIsYesterday92]

Is Jenny Powell trying to flirt with Nicky?

[j7609]

Funny you should ask. I've thought the same thing. Look at her body language...she sits very close to Nicky and her whole body is twisted towards him, she plays with her hair, touches Nicky a few times, leans her head in towards him. If she were any closer to Nicky and could have her way, it would go beyond flirting. lol

[ThisIsYesterday92]

Yeah, that would be wrong on many accounts o_o

If it wasn't on kids' TV, it probably would have happened. Whether Nicky wanted it to or not.

[j7609]

I know ThisIsYesterday. I was just kidding ;) I'm sure that would have never happened. But if that woman could have attacked Nickey, it seemed as if she would have! She was very flirty.

BTW, I love your profile name here, one of my fave Manics songs!

Cheers

[j7609]

Arggg, sorry about my typos. I'm so tired. I meant "Nicky" not Nickey

[ThisIsYesterday92]

It would have been quite amusing to watch Nicky try and fend her off though :p

[yeoldeface]

lmao i love how nicky says "hip-wiggler"

HIP WIGGUHLAH

[slobnarcissus]

*tries to breathe through laughter*

*fails*

*thud*

[fuckscum]

I find it funny at the end....hmm make-up wearing glam-rocking mensa members...er heres scooby-doo kids!!!

[alcopopsocialist]

who ever let the guys who wrote the line "REPEAT AFTER ME FUCK QUEEN AND COUBTRY" anywhere near kids tv! peeing myself laughing here! i do believe the manics just alluded to cross-dressing and bestiality on children's tv! this is fucking HILARIOUS! they'd have got a similar effect if they'd got on stalin!

how many new fans do you think they gained from this plug? can you imagine parents everywhere explaining to little kids why they can't go and see these guys?

[ThinkSarcasmic]

HAHAHA

Your last comment... I can just imagine, I got a similar talk when I was 7, sulking over the fact that my parents wouldnt let me get Holy Bible because it would make me depressed haha!

[xMadelienex]

"Can I just get it right.." then she really doesn't

[goooglyminotaur]

that is adorable.

Jenny powell-she just makes you cringe the whole time.

[Tikka79]

That's funny. That woman is terrible!

[GeezerGonkess]

this is fab-how old is it?

[la4or]

do you have the ident to Gimme 5? there were 2 versions, and no one's put them up yet.

[j7609]

sorry, this is the only version i have.

[markij1984]

[kinnitron]

LMAO

why the hell did they get nicky and richey on that show?...and why the hell did they go on it?

[heyaevery1x]

[batchen12]

this is so wrong but funny

[redrose91091]

Oh my...this is painful and funny and wrong all together.

But the guy's shorts are priceless =)

[binarysonnets]

Oh dear god this is horrible.

[thebigmarvinski]

that's painful, Jenny Powell clearly read her research notes. That other guy, jesus christ. Nice of Nicky to step in when you know what Richy's response would have been

[Balsch]

hahaha yes I can see it now "and after Scooby Doo, the Manics will be back with 'Archives of Pain'

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[Rock74]

This is moronic. For any credible musician, the idea of going onto a children's TV show must be hell.

[Nymph731]

Miss Selfridge !!! Haha classic that will make me laugh everytime I watch a Manic Street Preachers Video

[didz83]

Do you ever go to wales?

OMG! Thats hilarious.

[NrBristol]

hahaha yes I can see it now "and after Scooby Doo, the Manics will be back with 'Archives of Pain'"

:D :D

[studeddead]

WHAT! how the hell can you miss off scooby doo

[j7609]

I didn't cut it out intentionally. This was the only version I had of this interview.

[Davross]

That was priceless.

[epmanics]

that made me cringe. why do people as ridiculous questions?

[saramanic]

oh holy jaysus that is pretty cringe worthy

[TheEndAsWeKnowIt]

Nicky and Richey on a children's show. Something like this would NEVER happen in America. I love this.

[Chinaboatman]

They've been on MTV. I'd say that was a kids show.

[OrangeSapphi]

What is that guy interviewing them wearing??? Hideous outfit!

[yeahyeahyeah94]

Well it's the 90s, what d'you expect? xD

Nicky and Richey look great though =D

[prestolovesvarla]

How Bizarre??!!!! I would have paid to see the glamour twins recite 'Drug Drug Druggy' or 'Life Becomming A Landslide' amongst that Day-Glo paintjob and the poor bewildered kids :D

[j7609]

Hahaha - that would've been brilliant!

[paulmn]

hahaha yes I can see it now "and after Scooby Doo, the Manics will be back with 'Archives of Pain'"
