You've never heard of them? :o

I love that band.

The love or Richard Nixon is quite wry-mouthed and it's a great piece of music....So are the other songs from the last 10 years, whatever.

Yes the new album is indeed very good!!!

I don't have any of their records, but I listened to some songs from Lifeblood...they are nice.

Wire blasts "too famous" bands

 

 

Manic Street Preachers rocker Nicky Wire has slammed Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand for becoming famous too quickly. Wire is disgusted at the money and attention given to newer bands, accusing recording companies of allowing them to peak too soon. And he insists older acts such as Blur and Radiohead are examples of bands that only released their best material on their third or fourth albums. Wire says, "I don't know if that's happening at the moment really - the Arctic Monkeys Syndrome or Franz Ferdinand... it's kind of 's**t or best'. "I don't even know if (Manic Street Preachers album) Holy Bible would get released today because, you know, by that time we were maybe on the verge of being dropped. "We weren't exactly selling as many records as we thought we would. And these days if your first album does not do it, well... "I think in our generation of Blur and Radiohead, really our great records were our third or fourth albums, but I don't even know if they could be made today because I don't think bands get the chance to develop."

They do have a point........................ ;)

i agree with him too. too quick success like Monkeys', Franz's or even Coldplay's can result a "lazy" aftermath...

I've not been very impressed with either band. They've been far too hyped for my liking............................. ;)

well, yeah. same here. i'm not a big Manics fan, heard some songs, but that's all, not deeper

i still prefer them to modern crap, though

I agree. I'm always suspicious of groups which seem to "appear from nowhere"!!;)

I can't wait for the deluxe edition of everything must go, their album post Richey.

 

And it isn't the first time Nicky Wire has slammed other bands

Nicky Wire what a guy!

The best example for me is The Killers. They have only one album (if I'm right) and many people already call them one of the best bands ever lol. It's just so ridiculous, nobody can say where all these bands will be in a few years.

Besides, somehow almost all new bands seem too similar to me.

See, the problem is that bands that are not publicized and over-hyped have no chance today. I think that the best bet for a new band would be to release some more radio-friendly hits at first, then, after 1 or 2 albums, once they have the power, slowly switch it into what they first intended to be as a musical group. Bands who don't take this shortcut have to wait it out and hope for a growing fanbase, which grows too slowly to fund a working band. That is why music today feels so crappy and overproduced, because it's all we're hearing. If we were to start playing music on radio or Music Television that was actually different and interesting, people wouldn't be happy. They want their pop, their hip hop and fake idols. Speaking of Idols, American Idol is an insult to bands and people who have had to take the long road. These people pop up out of nowhere and steal sales from the bands who have chosen a different path.

 

It's not that all music these days is horrible, it's that we're only listening to the horrible music, because it's all that's being played.

 

When Crazy Frog can sell more than Our Lady Peace, you know how bad it is.
