Blasting on to the scene in 1991 in a mess of makeup and spray painted slogans, Manic Street Preachers made their debut in hopes of selling
20 million copies then a band implosion. They certainly didn't do that, but the Welsh band have become one of Britain's most legendary bands
of the 90s. Though the band was lead by the riff slinging James Dean Bradfield, the band's heart was in Richey James Edwards. He couldn't write
or play music if his life depended on it, but his brilliantly dark lyrics are what crafted the band's 1994 bleak and raw third album "The Holy
Bible", a true classic made with help of Bradfield's musical talents. The ex-alcoholic, self-mutilating Edwards disappeared shortly after, still left
unfound. But with bassist Nicky Wire taking over lyrical duties the band pulled through for the extremely successful "Holy Bible" follow-up
"Everything Must Go". They still continue without Richey James Edwards to this day, though the sheer mix of The Clash and Guns N Roses
intensity of early Manics is long gone. « hide |
