Nicky Wire added more patches I made for him to his Rush jacket! The Japan flag was given to him by me in person last year. ❤ #London#Roundhouse#postQawardsgig

“Nicky Wire has entered the digital era against his considerable will, forced to have an iPad for work. “The tentacles have drawn me in and I resent it.” […] He occasionally tweets Manics news via their official Twitter feed, “prosaic”, and posts images on the Manics Instagram, “because there’s no one on there calling you a c**t”. Recently, his kids made him post one of their dog, Axel. “I was convulsing, there might be a dog stealer,” he quakes. “They wanted our dog to be most liked. ‘Dad, no one likes you, Axel’s gonna be more popular!”

Steve Albini on working with the Manic Street Preachers

“There’s one slightly nostalgic moment on the record, I forget which song, where James wanted a particularly fried guitar sound. The studio had a cassette recorder that was the same as one I had in college - I didn’t have an amp, so I’d plug my guitar into the cassette player, wear headphones and overdrive the cassette player. It had a particular raspy distortion that I became quite fond of. On a lark, I told him I used that exact cassette player as a fuzz pedal, so we did that with his guitar. It was nice to see this make-do solution applied in a fancy recording studio (Rockfield, Wales). It was a great opportunity to take something I’d learned by being broke and making it a feature of a major record.”

Please please PLEASE for the love of Richard Nixon let Resistance is Futile stay at number one!!!

You'd be hard-pushed to find music fans with a fiercer loyalty to their band than the Manics' - it's quite exceptional to watch. And the band will never forget it, or stop being grateful, Wire says, because they come from what many would deem a "pretty unfashionable place".
