Probably a good idea as there appear to be a few problems playing it here!

Sorry apart from making you listen to the voice of a broken down 'angel'

the 'performance is littered with bum guitar notes. I don't think it's an entire backing tape, ..................it is a shambles.
was just suggesting you might get more out of his 'axe' than Mr Bradfield could manage on this occasion.
Mind you, having Charlotte Church that close to you is probably enough to distract anyone from their business

Where did it all go wrong?

Well.. I fear I´m still worse than him on the guitar. Way worse.
But I´m working on improving.
If you know Tenson and Stevenson&Brown you know the makers of my guitars and thus may understand why a Hagström makes me drool..
Though their necks are probably a bit slim for my hands which would suit a good truck driver.
Unlike Ms. Church, who would seem to have just the right shape for me´ands.. ;D
But, nope, I´m beyond the point where that could distract me from anything.

All that talk of guitars way too late at night, I had a bizarre dream about being given one of these(this colour)

http://www.animl.com/guitars/sjm/sjmwhite000.jpg

Except it had a headstock made of rubber and I had no amp , but just walked around like a fool trying to play and not realising why I couldn't, then I had to plug it into an amp with a 3 pin kettle lead.

I don't know what this means...but I do know I'm glad I didn't get your post from this morning last night.
Things could have got a bit messy with big hands, slim necks and the like...........in fact it could have all turned a bit Star Trek vs NIN
sCARY................

Tell me about it, I remember when they were good :roll: . That s**t meant a lot to me as a young teenage social outcast, searching for a band with style and substance... so before I discovered Siouxsie, the Sisters et al, I absolutely loved them.

Manics Gold One, Two, Three, and Four

Yeah, I was one of those mad Manics girlies :oops: , about 10 years ago... one of these days I will really have to scan in some of those embarrassing photos of a 13 year old me, all decked out in feather boa, spraypainted slogan shirts, and unreasonable amounts of eyeliner, on a pilgrimmage to their hometown in South Wales that I went on with my mate Susan at the time. Oh man! :lol: :oops:

Having said that, even back then I was bemoaning their slide into mediocrity after Richey James' disappearance/suicide... I would have expected Nicky Wire to curb James Brad Deantree's attempts to turn them completely s**t, but apparently he hasn't.

On the upside - it looks like they've all been munching less pies than they were at one point! :lol: I have no time for anything they've done post Everything Must Go, with the possible exception of "If You Tolerate This", but that's just a nice little ditty really, it doesn't come close to the Holy Bible. Which I still judge as a stunning album, definitely their finest (and most harrowing) moment... Richey had his moments of sixth form lyricism but the content of that album in particular came very definitely from an utterly genuine place which rings too many bells for me now. I find it more unsettling these days, for that reason, than I actually did as a big fan.

Still love The Wire tho'! ;D

Richey James Edwards, yes. It was pretty interchangeable whether you called him any or all combinations of his second names. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about, I was well obsessed :oops:

Maybe that's what happened to him :eek:

It's as likely as any of the other theories (went to become a buddhist monk with a beard in Tibet etc.)

Bastards all of you.... :roll:

And nobody mentioned Tha Alarm, Stereophonics, Catatonia and of course The Super Furry Animals.

TV wise class such as Pobl -Y -Cwm and Dirty Sanchez. Oow (just shot myself in the foot).
