Manics DISCUSS

bandit

I've just seen the tracklisting for the new manics greatest hits album, Forever Delayed....

'A Design For Life'
'Motorcycle Emptiness'
'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next'
'La Tristesse Durera (Scream To A Sigh)'
'There By The Grace Of God'
'You Love Us'
'Australia'
'You Stole The Sun From My Heart'
'Kevin Carter'
'Tsunami'
'The Masses Against The Classes'
'From Despair To Where'
'Door To The River'
'Everything Must Go'
'Faster'
'Little Baby Nothing'
'Theme From M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless)'
'So Why So Sad'
'The Everlasting'
'Motown Junk'

Apparently this was voted by the fans which is complete bollix, i'm regestered on the manics official web site and a fanzine regular and their is no way manics fans would only vote one holy bible song in there or foir that matter vote for so why so {c.u.n.t.i.n.g.} sad.

This is further proof of the general crapness that are best ofs and greatest hits, NO manics fans BUY this album in my humble opinion...
Motown junk is the only reason to buy it and you can get that on e-bay for the same price, same goes for theme from m.a.s.h. {if yu didnt get it at the time of release but i did}:cool:

PiE

Don't buy it then?

Doesnt that sound more like a greatest hits package.... think it does. If you aint got a dvd, then dont buy. Motown Junk sounds much better on crackly old vinyl..

"I laughed when lennon got shot".......RJE

thedrowner

hmmm
see...the way i see it, most people would view the holy bible as a best of in itself????? if u know what i mean..yer a manics fan...u must do!

i like so why so sad...shut up! And theme form mash is on it, the only version i have of that is one someone saw on the telly and put a dictaphone up to to record it for me.
dvd sounds good tho

When is that dvd out? It sounds like a manics fans wet dream.........

I believe its Nov 11th...forgot to mensh.

Got it from Foreverdelayed.com which is a fansite cos I saw the bloke takin the pics of JDB that are on their site and he wouldnt risk usin his flash, cos we were told not to ,thats why they came out crap. I however did use my flash and the feckin security (stupid gorillas) decided to take said camera off me. Got it back at the end tho, waitin to get em developed.

Theyre playin the gig on Radio CLyde or whoever in 2 weeks, i would recommend a listen, James was very very good. A bit trimmer too it seems!!

I'm pretty sure the fans voting for tracks thing was more to do with what they're gonna play on their tour rather than what was gonna be on the album. The record company was never gonna put much from the holey bible on it as most people started buying the manics stuff post-holy bible and the record company would deem some of it as a little too harsh for some of the newer fans.

I'm surprised to see Revol on the tracklisting for the dvd, while it was a single the manics themselves loath it.

The cd of the greatest hits isn't aimed at the hardcore fans anyway, i'm not gonna buy it because i already have everything on it and everything on the bonus cd.

Bateman

It was the setlist for the gigs that we voted on, not the actual tracklisting on the album. Do you think Everlasting would have made it at the expense of Stay Beautiful if that had been the vote. The fans did not vote for the album tracklisting, and nor did anyone claim to.

Agree that the album is poor, although the part I am most pissed off about is the limited edition bonus CD. Teh big cheeses like the Chems and 3D that have mixed tracks for the lads before are being rewarded by the fans buying early; not the fans themselves. The bonus CD should be of B-Sides, its a disgrace, but I'll still buy it.

Eyeliner__Boy

Bateman.....sort out that ridiculous signature of yours. its ****ing appalling

Gar_ptc

exactly,eyeliner.

NO ONE can lower them selves down to such a level. not possible

acquiescefc

I am from "gods country" and i know what he means about that countys 2nd city.....miaow

thedrowner

wwhat???? whats it from????
*ignorant little old me*
hmmmm.....am i going to get bullied if i say i like the manics new stuff too? im listenig to gold against the soul right now and id forgotten how good it is. but i like hte new stuff, although know your own enemy was crap, except for so why so sad. The b sides on everything up to and including everything must go are great, but i didnt really like the ones from TIMTTMY, or KYOE.

o sleep

i didn't really like their newer stuff (and after this is my truth, i stopped listening), but i would never consider myself an obsessive manics fan (or a fan at all, because i only really liked the holy bible) but my friend recorded me a stereolab remix of tsunami and it's fecking great!! it sounds like a stereolab song, or rather a good stereolab song. but anyway ...

mojopin

I agree. It's a terrible representation of the manics. Terribly dissapointing. Betetr off making your own compilation and burning it onto a cd.
