Manic Street Preachers

ditta

Richey miał świetne tekstym, ale ja bym mogła cytować Drutka non stop.
przykładowo z wywiadu dla NME czerwiec 2007 odnośnie festiwalu w Glastonbury

NME: So what will you all be eating this year? (na glasto)
Tom Clarke (The Enemy): No seafood. the only good thing i eat from sea is fucking salt, mate.
Tom Meighan: Don't bring any horrible biscuits, Burbons, dirty garibaldis, pink wafers.
Nicky: I love pink wafers!
Tom Clarke: I bet you do!

i jak tu go nie kochać? Very Happy

ME

Od czego by tu zacząć... tyle tego jest... Very Happy

Richie: But even the best bands get treated as a fashion accessory in the end. Rock'n'roll has become a repetitive lifestyle - everybody lives out what's gone in the past. We're all about second-hand ideas. What else can you do? You experience the areas you're brought up in and then you see something like Taxi Driver or King Of The Ghetto and you identify with it. That's all. (NME, 11 May 1991)

- Last time you made a complete arse of yourself?
James: The other night. I went out with this girl to this dodgy French place for some food. The menu was all in French, with some English explanations underneath. In those situations I develop a nervous twitch. I always feel like I'm going to knock things over or something. For some reason I develop some kind of dyslexia. Suddenly, when I have to make a decision, words don't seem to make as much sense as they used to. I was looking at this thing and I thought, "What the f uck is that?". So I said to the waiter, "Oi, what's chivvy sooflat?". As I was saying it I could feel a voice within me going, "Don't say it! It's chive soufflé!". As the words were coming out of my mouth, I just wanted to reclaim them.

Kurcze marna ze mnie moderatorka, bo chciałam te posty przesunąc do tematu "ulubione teksty manics" ( bo to chyba to samo) ale nie potrafie! Sad

Uf, to dobrze. Już wiem jak przenieść konkretne posty, ale nie wiedziałabym co z tym postem pierwszym ditty, jako że on jest pod temat Confused

A co do tekstów, to jest ich zdecydowanie za dużo. Teraz mi nic na myśl nie przychodzi, ale zawsze lubiłam żarty słowne Nicka i Richeya w różnych wywiadach Very Happy

Bardzo lubię również rzeczy w stylu 7 dni z życia Edwardsa "Today I would rather fall in love with a washing machine than a woman.", jego opinie o różnych piosenkach. Mam nawet gdzieś jego rękopis, gdzie jest napisane "izzy stradlin we love you, we kiss your beautiful long legs" Wink

.
O i najważniejsze chyba - Richey's manifesto:

MYTH OF SISYPHUS – THE GODS THOUGHT THERE IS NO MORE DREADFUL PUNISHMENT THAN FUTILE AND HOPELESS LABOUR. GROW UP, GET FUCKED, WITHER. NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY KNOW HUNGER, TRUE HUNGER LIKE SOMALIA. EVERYONE HAS CLOTHES, FOOD, A DRINK. EVERYONE IS LAST, PATHETIC WRETCHED. THE ONLY FREEDOM LEFT IS THE FREEDOM TO STARVE. FILL YOUR HOME WITH ANYTHING YOU LIKE BUT YOU CAN'T INVENT ANOTHER COLOUR. POSTCARDS ARE JUST SOUVENIRS OF PLACES WE HATE. REMEMBER ALL MEN ARE BIOLOGICALLY BORN SCUM. 19TH CENTURY DOCTOR ISAAC BAKER BROWN ADVOCATED CLITORECTOMY FOR 'FEMININE WEAKNESS.' BRIDGET BARDOT SAYS "IT IS HARD TO BE HAPPY" AND THAT IS THE TRUTH FOR SURE. LIFE IS MEANINGLESS. TOM JUST WANTS TO EAT JERRY. THERE IS NO TRUE LOVE, JUST A FINE TUNED JEALOUSY. AN OCEAN OF COLOUR DROWNING IN A LAND OF WHITE WASH. EVERYONE OWNS TOO MUCH TO DO ANYTHING. WE SIT IN STRAIGHT LINES, DO WHAT WE ARE TOLD, LIKE SEATS ON LOCKERBIE, DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC. "THESE ARE THE ACCUSED MEN. ALL OF THEM ARE ACCUSED OF GUILT." SAID KAFKA. LIES. HYPOCRISY. ROCK N ROLL. AN ENDLESS QUESTION WHICH ENDS NO. WE ALL REMEMBER PAIN. WE ALL FORGET PLEASURE. SOCIALISM IS SHORT FOR SELL OUT. ADMIT NOTHING. BLAME EVERYONE. BE BITTER. BUY ME I'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. CULTURE IS A CHEQUEBOOK. WE ARE ALL BOURGEOIS NOW. ALL ACTION IS FORCED. ALL REBELLION IS FAKE. CARRION PETRIFIED STONE. LATE SHOW, PINTER, AMIS, MCEWAN, DISKI – ALL ARE STYLISED INTELLECT. SCARED ON EASTON ELLIS AND BATEMAN. THE REAL WORLD. THEY LIVE IN A WORLD OF CAFFEINE AND COCAINE AND STUPID PARTIES IN LONDON SONY RECORDS HAVE BOUGHT US SUPPOSEDLY BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND OUR 'ART' BUT NOT ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES IN SOHO SQUARE ON £20,000 A YEAR COULD TELL YOU WHAT THE FIRST TRACK ON THE LP IS. NO ONE GIVES A uuk ABOUT ANYTHING APART FROM THEIR OWN SELFISH LIFE. WE ARE JUDGED ON MUSICAL ABILITY NOT WHAT WE SAY. YOU ARE JUDGED ON YOUR QUALIFICATION NOT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OR INTELLIGENCE. THE CIGARETTE INDUSTRY IS DYING IN THE WEST. THEY KNOW THAT THEY SELL DEATH. BUT THEY TRY AND INCREASE THEIR SALES IN ASIA. THEY MUST FIND NEW WAYS TO SELL MORE PILLS INTO STORES BEFORE THE BAN. 20TH CENTURY WE BUILT BUCHENWALD – BURNT HIROSHIMA. GIVE US ALL PILLS, COVER US IN NUMBNESS, TOSS OUR BODIES ON THE RUBBISH DUMP, A DICTIONARY MEANS NOTHING UNLESS YOU LISTEN TO WORDS. RICHEY, DECEMBER 1992.

Richey Manifesto No. 3 - May 1992, Touring Abroad

Letter from abroad…

EUROPE WAS LIKE THE TV BUT DON'T BLAME US COS WE NEVER BUILT THE RUINS. REAL LIBERAL ABOUT PORNOGRAPHY BUT MOST PLACES BANNED ARACDES AND FRUIT MACHINES. MORE PETTYN MORALS. EVERYONE COMPLAINS THAT THE NEW FRENCH DISNEYLAND WAS MORE AMERICAN CULTURAL IMPERIALISM. THE FRANKFURTER AND HAMBURGER HARDLY SOUND ALL AMERICAN YOU KNOW? DIETRICH, GARBDO, FRITZ LANG COLONISED THE IMAGINATION OF THE US AND AMERICA SOLD IT BACK IN TECHNICOLOUR. BIG DEAL...ARRIVED IN AMERICA AS IT FACED ITS WORST EVER CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. WAS MORE OF A STRAIN. NOT A BRAIN CELL ON THE WHOLE STREET. LOS ANGELES TURNED FROM RIOT TO LOOTING TO RACISM AND PREJUDICE. THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SELECTED AND DESTROYED KOREAN BUSINESSES – 1992, AND BURNT OUT JEWISH BUSINESSES – 1933. NME CAME OVER BUT NONE OF US BOTHERED HAVING PICTURES TAKEN IN 'THE RIOT ZONE' – WENT TO DISNEYLAND INSTEAD WHERE LIFE WENT ON AS NORMAL. MICKEY MOUSE IS AS AMERICAN AS RIOTS, POVERTY AND INEQUALITY. STARTED PLAYING 'CALIFORNIA UBER ALLES' IN MIDDLE SECTION OF 'REPEAT' AND, BY THE WAY. BON JOVI, SOME CHILLI PEPPERS AND SOME GUNS N ROSES CAME TO SEE US PLAY. BEST QUOTE OF THE TOUR FROM ELVIS "I GUESS THERE NEVER IS ANY REALLY GOOD TIMES." THE AMERICAN DREAM LOOKS SAD ON EVERYONE'S FACE. AMERICA'S CONSTITUTION COULD HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST DEAL SINCE THE MAGNA CARTA AND IT IS EXPOSED AS A LIE BEFORE OUR EYES. JAPAN IS THE BIGGEST CULTURE SHOCK JUST BECAUSE IT'S ORGANISED. FINALLY GET A CHANCE TO READ SOME OSAMU DASAI – "ALTHOUGH I HAD A MORTAL DREAD OF HUMAN BEINGS I SEEMED QUITE UNABLE TO RENOUNCE THEIR SOCIETY. I MANAGED TO MAINTAIN ON THE SURFACE A SMILE WHICH NEVER DESERTED MY LIPS, THIS WAS THE ACCOMODATION I OFFERED TO OTHERS, A MOST PRECARIOUS ACHIEVEMENT PERFORMED BY ME ONLY AT THE EXCRUCIATING EFFORTS WITHIN. AS A CHILD I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO NOTION OF WHAT OTHERS, EVEN MEMBERS OF MY OWN FAMILY, MIGHT BE SUFFERING OR WHAT THEY WERE THINKING. I WAS AWARE ONLY OF MY OWN UNSPEAKABLE FEARS AND EMBARASSMENTS. BEFORE ANYONE REALISED IT, I HAD BECOME AN ACCOMPLISHED CLOWN, A CHILD WHO NEVER SPOKE A SINGLE TRUTHFUL WORD." BECAUSE WE'RE PLAYING THE SAME VENUE THREE NIGHTS RUNNING WE GET A CHANCE TO PRACTICE SOME NEW SONGS IN SOUNDCHECK 'DRUG DRUG DRUGGY', 'ROSES IN THE HOSPITAL' AND 'ALIEN ORDERS : INVISIBLE ARMIES' ARE CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED. AFTER MASSIVE PROBLEMS WITH THE RECORD COMPANY WE FINALLY GET TO SHOOT THE VIDEO FOR MOTORCYCLE EMPTINESS IN TOKYO. GET PHOTOGRAPHED BY ONE OF MISHIMA'S PHOTOGRAPHERS AND GO TO THE SEGA PARK AND SO ON. BACK TO OUR SAFE EUROPEAN HOME. RICHEY, MAY 1992.

Richey Manifesto No. 4 - Richey really loves The Levellers

SOME THOUGHT ON CRUSTIES WITH CREDIT CARDS… RECESSION ALWAYS WORKS TO RULING CLASS ADVANTAGE. THERE IS NO GENERATION GAP, JUST THOSE IN AND OUT OF SOCIETY. THE MORONIC LABOUR PARTY STILL CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS. THEIR DINOSAUR IDEOLOGY BELIEVED THAT THEY COULD CAPTURE WORKING CLASS VOTES WITH HIGH TAXATION (0VER £25,000), NOT REALISING THAT THE WORKING CLASS JUDGE THEIR INTERESTS NOT FROM WHERE THEY ARE (DOLE / SQUAT / SCHOOL) BUT WHERE THEY WISH THEY COULD BE (BMW / HAMPSTEAD / MALIBU). SECOND ONLY IN IDEOLOGICAL STUPIDITY TO THE LABOUR PARTY IS THE PRE-INDUSTRIALISED POLITICS OF THE LEVELLERS. CHILD-LIKE. HEH JEREMY – IF ALL MEN ARE EQUAL THEN WHY SHOULD THE STATE SUPPORT THE LIFESTYLE OF THE HAPPY HITCHERS. HOW D'YA JUSTIFY THAT? OH, IT'S ANARCHY. SOME KIND OF ANARCHY! RIGHT NOW YOU ARE NORTHERM TEXTMILL OWNERS FOR YOUR T-SHIRT EMPIRE. SOON YOU'LL BE FRANCHISE COAL OWNERS FOR YOUR CAMP FIRES. COTTAGE INDUSTRY CAPITALISM. BACK TO NATURE AND ANGLO-SAXON MORALS (WITH 100K PA, CATERING STAFF AND ROADIES) BUT YOU'RE INDIVIDUALISTS NOT SOCIALISTS. BEG YOUR PARDON. THAT SOUNDS MORE LIKE TERRY WAITE'S DESERT ISLAND DISCS CHRISTIAN HUMANITY, THAN 20TH CENTURY REALPOLITIK. AND IN CASE YOU THINK NO ONE ELSE HAS READ YOUR HEROES – FOR EVERY LILBURNE WE GOT THATCHER FOR EVERY WALWYN WE GOT HENRY FORD, FOR EVERY OVERTON WE GOT KINNICK, FOR EVERY WILDMAN WE GOT CHURCHILL. CRUSTIES WITH A CREDIT CARD. ME, I'M GONNA GO AND WASH, GET CLEAN AND PLAY A CD CRIME? WHY DON'T YOU STAY PURE TO YOUR PRINCIPLES AND ONLY RECORD IN MONO YOU LUDDITE THATCHER CHILDREN. I ALSO HATE POTATO WINE AND I LOVE MY SEGA MEGADRIVE. REALITY. YOU ARE BRITAIN'S CULTURAL CHERNOBYL. RICHEY, JULY 1992.

JAMES: Nicky and Sean are the true spirit of the Manics, whereas Richey and I are tending to lose the plot a bit

SEAN:When we started the idea of Welsh music was like the Ivory Coast at the Olympics: one bloke carrying the flag and one walking behind. Now there’s more of us we can carry our banner with pride

SEAN:On the Suede tour James was pissed all the time and was lying in bed until five every day. I had my moments.

Do you think the three of you are sexy enough?
Sean "No, Not at all. It’s just because we have become old and bloated

NICKY:Right now I don't want to go out, I don't want to make any friends. All I want to do is make enemies. I've never felt this much contempt for everyone and everything in my entire fucking life. I don't feel the need for anyone to like me anymore. Jesus, it's hard enough to like myself.

NICKY:We're banning Charlatans fans from our gigs because they all have moustaches

ME

A ja się chyba skoncentruję na cytatach Seana i Jamesa:

CAN YOU NAME THE MOST SIGNIFICANT LESSON YOU'VE LEARNT IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS?
Sean: The biggest thing I've learnt is to appreciate just life, that life is such an important thing. Especially young people are so blase, there's almost this invincibility, they think they can do absolutely anything and nothing can touch them. People should embrace and appreciate life as fully as possible and take every opportunity there is and fulfil every ambition and dream to the full.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Sean zapytany czy "hyper-obsessive Manics fans disapprove of him precisely because he is so normal?"
"I think they disapprove of the fact that I don't come forth and voice my opinions more strongly in the way that Nick does or James does... Nick puts it upon himself to be this caricature that people want, but I wouldn't say he was totally comfortable with it."

- - - - - - - - - - -

Jabba: Are there big cultural differences between London and Wales?
James: Yeah, everything is different really, just about everything.

- - - - - - - - - - -
A teraz coś z serii: "WTF is he talking about?????" Laughing

Jo Whiley: [...] I've been told to ask you about the UFO you saw over LA. Does that mean anything to you at all?
James: Erm... yeah! Yes, god. That's a bit scary.
Whiley: I dunno, it's probably your manager.
James: Cos only a handful of people know about that one. Yeah, I just saw it about - what was it? About two-and-a-half years ago when I was flying to LA. I saw a big silver strobe. As you approach into LA you've got a good sense of perspective, because the mountains are there and there's all that traffic and stuff. And between the mountains and the air traffic came this rather large silver strobe about fifty foot long.
Whiley: And did everyone else see it?
James: Nah, because it was a really empty aeroplane...
Whiley: [collapses into fits] And how many pints! [giggles]
James: [squeak] Nah, it was really - no, shush! Shush, woman! It was like, it was only like about forty people on the flight, it was a really big spacious Virgin thingamajig...
Whiley: [tolerantly] ... and they were all asleep except you.
James: And they were all asleep and I was going "Ah! Ah! Look, look, look! Silver strobe, look!"
Whiley: And by the time they woke up...
James: It was gone.
Whiley: Oh, really.
James: It was going in a straight trajectory, like a Star Trek speed, really fast. Like, you're not talking to Ginger from the Wildhearts or something [Whiley laughs]. This is TRUE.

Trochę mnie dziwi, że tak mało osób odpowiedziało w tym temacie. Przecież Manics to tony ciekawych wywiadów Confused

EDIT: Własnie zobaczyłam, że kasya prawie to samo napisała kiedyś w temacie "Ulubione teksty MSP" Laughing

.

1998 (jeden z moich naprawdę ulubionych cytatów Love

)
"We've been lucky to find ourselves, me, James and Sean - and Richey when he was around," says Nick. "If you're lucky in life you can find someone to build your life round. It doesn't happen for everyone. It wasn't even enough for Richey at the end of the day."

1998
Nicky: I have a lot of traditional male traits, most obviously my love of sport. But as a kid, I was very close to my mother so I think I acquired a real fascination and kinship with the female side. I would always rather stay in and piss around with make-up in front of the mirror than go down to the pub. I still try Rachel's dresses on and stuff like that even though they're miles too small for me. All that is part of who I am. My nickname was Shirley at school.

2001
What animal do you think you will be reincarnated as?
Sean: I'd prefer to come back as a virus and infect and kill everyone I hate.

2002
You look like you've been working out in the gym for the past 6 months.
James: Nah I don't believe in gyms. I just stopped drinking beer and stopped eating chips.

A wracając jeszcze na moment do dyskusj na temat wzrostu Maniców, to wreszcie udało mi się znaleźć cytat, w którym na ten temat wypowiada się Nick:
"Well, I'm 6ft 3in and I'm the sexiest rock star in the world!" (czyli jakieś 190 i pół cm)

Richey

The only perfect circle on the human body is the eye. When a baby is born it's so perfect, but when it opens its eyes it's just blinded by the corruption and everything else is a downward spiral
What's heavenly? Pure rock'n'rolI, dolphins, waking up and realising we're the sexiest, most intelligent, hateful rock'n'roll band in the whole world.

Sean
Nick puts it on himself to be this caricature that people want, but I wouldn't say he's totally comfortable with it
I'm the drummer, no one wants to know what the drummer thinks. Go bug one of the guitar players
I don't feel like I've got much left to say. Not that I said much anyway
James
I'm just a little short Welsh Smurf onstage trying to play guitar

Chyba przez to opowiadanie o pastuszku Laughing

przypomniał mi się jeszcze ten cytat:

[...] Sheep and coalmines is Wales in a nutshell to the ignorant.
-We hated that stereotype, James says. But then I moved away and when I got back I realised it was true. There's f.ucking lots of sheep. Laughing

A teraz jeszcze cytat Sean'a, ale tym razem nie jeden z ulubionych, ale wprost przeciwnie - taki, w którym najbardziej mi podpadł. Sean mówi o Masses Against The Classes:

"W samym założeniu miał to być zupełnie niezależny singiel. Przeznaczony tylko dla najwierniejszych fanów, dlatego wydaliśmy go tylko w Wielkiej Brytanii i to w limitowanym nakładzie."

Czyli według niego tylko Brytyjczyk może być wiernym fanem MSP?

ditta · Wysłany: Nie 22:08, 22 Mar 2009 Temat postu:

haha nawet nie myślałam o tym, że w Walii owce są tak popularne lol

co do Masses to niby są limitowane, a na dobrą sprawę są bardzo szeroko dostępne, nawet czasem na allegro. Sean, ostrzegam, jeszcze trochę takich wywiadów, a tekst o SuperSeanie nie powstanie Razz

trochę boskiego Nicka. nie wiem, czy są z wywiadów, ale siedziałam dzisiaj i płakałam ze śmiechu:

Chips make my life worth living sometimes.

Red wine always goes for my neck and makes it funny. It sort of flops down. Floppy alcoholic neck syndrome, yes. Not good.

Ooooh look at that tiny tent over there James it's The Beta Band and their fan.

Tax the rich! Tax myself!

The yobbish element comes from my mouth. It's the weakest part of my make-up.

We can't do that festival in Finland cos my wife is doing another kid in July.
