NICKY'S IRE! MANIC STREET PREACHERS bassist NICKY WIRE has hit out at bands like the WHITE STRIPES and JET, branding them "fucking crap".
Speaking in an interview on the Orange Playlist show due to be aired tonight (October 28), Wire slammed the Stripes' recording process.
He said: "The White Stripes – I just don’t get that at all. When they say ‘ We recorded the whole album in two days’ its like, yeah it sounds like it – it sounds fucking crap because you recorded it in a second.
"And Jet, Jet are so bad. Their music has the mental age of a foetus.
"I think it’s too easy to make good music. There are so many idiots out there who’ve got rigs and computers in their bedroom who are making unbelievably average music that sounds quite good – it's not a healthy thing.
"From David Bowie to U2 you have to know when its time to evolve – if you don’t, you die, like dodos you become extinct.
"You have to know when to stop and get out. I think we’ll know when it's time to stop."
Wire did have praise for one British star however.
"I met Daniel Bedingfield at 'CD:UK'. He is an absolutely brilliant nutter actually. He’s truly warped and mad – in a good way."

Кстати...Не знаю, слышал ли ты запись еще одного нового номера, который они сыграли тогда на фестивале (помимо Empty Souls): "Solitude Sometimes Is". На всякий случай даю ссылку (может, и еще кому-нибудь будет интересно): http://www.foreverdelayed.org.uk/iow/solitude_sometimes_is_iow2004.mp3 Качество, правда, оставляет желать лучшего, но все же...

The world on your shoulders the love of your mother the fear of the future the best years behind you the world is getting older the times they fall behind you the need it still grows stronger the best years never found you
The love of richard nixon, death without assasination the love of richard nixon, ye they all betrayed you The love of richard nixon, death without assasination the love of richard nixon, ye they all betrayed you ye and your country too
love build around the sandy beaches love rains down like vietnams leeches Richard III in the whitehouse Cowering behind divided curtains
the world is getting older the times they fall behind you the need it still grows stronger the best years never found you
The love of richard nixon, death without assasination the love of richard nixon, ye they all betrayed you The love of richard nixon, death without assasination the love of richard nixon, ye they all betrayed you ye and your country too
The love of richard nixon, death without assasination the love of richard nixon, ye they all betrayed you People forget China and your war on (?) Ye they all betrayed you ye and your country too
Of all the decisions I have made in my public life I have always tried to do what was best for the nation I have never been a quitter
12 июня мэники выступили на фестивале Isle of Wight, где сыграли свои классические хиты (вроде A design for life, form despair to where, australia), а также 2 новые песни, которые должны войти в новый альбом: Empty Souls и Solitute Sometimes Is. Запись исполнения Empty Souls уже лежит на staybeutiful.net Мне очень понравилась. Отличная вещь.
Для тех, кто решит послушать, here are the lyrics:
Empty Souls
"Empty souls will leave their homes to find a place to lie alone Wrapped in memories and hollow bones leaves a taste so bitter and cold For empty souls they stand alone shivering like black eyed dogs Waiting to be taken home where that is they only know
Exposed to a truth that we don't know collapsing like the twin towers Falling down like April Showers
Collapses endless like an marathon God knows what makes a comparison God knows what makes a comparison for the empty souls etc"
