Well they did pretty well out of it. I mean that album is no Holy Bible but it's their 2nd best by far.

lolno

Its actually their best

I don’t think Richey being the most important member is a definitive fact. He was an incredible lyricist and he added a lot of personality to the band, but instrumentally he didn’t add much

When people think Manics they think Richey. And yet they still made music under that name without him.

This but for New Order late in their career.
And that but for Joy Division naming themselves New Order.

Richey Edwards is alive

also send away the tigers is a great fucking album

and so is TIMTTMY

Lifeblood bros where we at

bumping the manics thred

They were just cashing in on the britpop hype. Can you blame them?

true, based culture sluts

>Yas Forums starts talking about Manic Street Preachers out of nowhere
>Generally positive discussion because they're fucking great
>Month and a half later, people start grasping at straws to hate on them
Why am I surprised? It's fucking Yas Forums

It's weird to me how they released this album with very little time from The Holy Bible and they actually put their faces on the cover. Like wtf, did they even get sad about their friend disappearing?

told ya it would happen

You're a fragile fucking crybaby.

not only faces on the cover, but close up photos of their nipples in the inlay

Doesn't this album have Richey parts? Correct me if I'm misremembering, I thought Kevin Carter's lyrics were penned by Richey, and the very last thing you hear is Richey playing guitar at the end of No Surface All Feeling

>did they even get sad about their friend disappearing?
Yes. That and moving on despite the pain the whole point of the album.

I find the fact that they transitioned from one of the darkest cult albums in British indie history to one of the great commercial rock albums of the 90s despite losing the intellectual driving force behind the band and a lifelong friend utterly incredible and inspiring.

Like they said, everything had to go. OP clearly never forgave them.

He wrote lyrics for Elvis Impersonator, Kevin Carter and Small Black Flowers That Grow In The Sky

yeah, Richey wrote some lyrics (Elvis Impersonator, Kevin Carter, Small Black Flowers, Girl Who Wanted To Be God, Removables)

Removables and No Surface All Feeling were recorded in 1995 before Richey's disappearance, but neither features him instrumentally (as confirmed by Dave Eringa, coda to No Surface was actually the alst thing recorded for EMG)

>The band has a mic on stage for Richey when they do live shows, despite his disappearance happening over two decades ago

They still save his royalties to last I heard

Yeah, it's really cool. It's hard to think of any other bands that pulled through something like that. Most either split up or turn to shit. The Manics are like the least hateable band in rock music history, what a dumb bait thread.

Yeah, I think it goes to the family or something

James Dean Bradfield one of the most underrated frontmen ever.

Reminder that they are unironic marxists which makes them even more based.

Fun fact: they were the first new UK #1 entry in January 2000 with The Masses Against the Classes. And the last was RATM's Killing in the Name as part of an anti-X Factor campaign on christmas 2009. A decade bookended by commie anthems.
