The Gutless Wonder Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I haven't Steevo, sorry!

RUSHHEAD666 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 QUOTE (The Gutless Wonder @ Sep 5 2009, 01:45 PM) QUOTE (Gompers @ Sep 5 2009, 03:36 PM) What kind of music do they play? Ooooooooh! Here's a quick run down as their stuff is a bit mixed! Generation Terrorists - Glam/Punk (1991) Gold Against The Soul - slightly Americana/Punk/Rock (1992) The Holy Bible - goth/Punk/Rock/metal-esque ('93/'94) Everything Must Go - Britpop era (though fans don't class it as that)/Anthemic Rock (1996) This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours - Indie/Alternative/Rock (1998) Know Your Enemy - slighty grungey/ Punk/Rock/with a smidgeon of disco thrown in! (2001) Lifeblood - Experimental/Ethereal/Pop/Rock (2004) Send Away The Tigers - Anthemic/Pop/Rock (2007) Journal For Plague Lovers - occasional nods to The Holy Bible era / Punk/Rock/Indie (2009) (Think that's a reasonable summary!) Listened to "Send Away The Tigers" today. I think you nailed it on your brief sound summary. Not a bad record. "The Holy Bible" is the other album I own. Excellent.

The Gutless Wonder Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Cool! Glad you like them! Check out the others as well if you get the chance. Seattle gig had a good mix of songs so will be interesting to see what the setlist is for the Vancouver one. Some photos already up on some peoples photostreams.

The Gutless Wonder Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yeah, Isle Of Wight festival does tend to draw quite large crowds. Maybe not as many as Glastonbury though! I probably have seen that performance, would have watched it on the telly at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gutless Wonder Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 A Manics/Rush jam would be excellent! (Can Alex not travel over to Vancouver, there's a few hours to go yet, I'm sure he could manage it! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gutless Wonder Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 A Canadian MSP fan was saying Alex lives in Toronto so what about tonight instead Al? Waddaya mean you're going skiing with Neil in Whistler? This is an opportunity not to be missed man! It may never happen again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your passion for this band. I can tell by the way you write that you love this interesting group. That is cool. I might have to explore more of this band thanks to you. Cheers!

The Gutless Wonder Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Aaaaaaaw! That's very nice of you to say Earl! I think that the Manics have a sort of affinity with Rush in a roundabout way. They have this warmth about them that you can't help being drawn to I suppose. Sounds like the Vancouver gig went down a storm, just been looking at a vid of the performance of No Surface All Feeling from the Everything Must Go album and James just sounds amazing. Will put the link up actually cos it's that good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theworkingman Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 They were f***ing brilliant at the Avalon on Friday (First U.S show in 10 years!!!!) and it was just as great as I imagined it would be...probably even better. The sound was awesome, the set list was fantastic, and the crowd was good. A pretty perfect night in general. Great sing-a-longs for "Everything Must Go" and "Design for Life"(Which was awesome). An amazing acoustic version of "This is Yesterday." I can't stress this enough...it's their first U.S tour in 10 years so if you get the chance...GO SEE THEM.

The Gutless Wonder Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 It's Geddy'sMullet. There is a thread for the documentary in the videos section of the forum. Glad the people who went to see the Manics enjoyed the shows! Hope a member of Rush can make the gig in Toronto tonight! Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gutless Wonder Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 The Manics are now back in the UK once more! A poster on the Manics unofficial fan forum Forever Delayed says he spoke to James today in Cardiff as he works in one of the main music stores there. He says JDB was very cheery and happy to chat. Sounds like the cold that was plagueing him on the last few days of the tour has eased up as the poster on FD says he didn't hear him coughing or anything so all good! I hope I get to meet James one day, he is my absolute hero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
