Nicky Wire says Morrissey changed his life

Nicky Wire of the Manic Street Preachers said in a television programme last night on channel 4, that the moment he saw Morrissey on TOTP his life changed forever

he said the next day he went into school with flowers in his back pocket and through Morrissey was able to progress into music much more easier, by then listening to other bands like Echo and the Bunnymen

  • the influence doesn't show in his music and singing though does it? Most of the verses end with the ah ah ah sound, or is it just me that hears that?

  • No way did a lyricist of Nicky Wire's caliber say "Morrissey was able to progress into music much more easier". That has to be a misquote.

  • ...I can see where he's coming from. The UK, late 80's just after The Smiths split, their influence was massive and would certainly have influenced a bunch of fay, flowery, be-coled, punky-types with artistic sensibilities, as the Manics were back then...

  • than your children will be next

    along with motocyclt emptyness the only 2 songs I
    know, never took a listen in the musicstore to
    listen to an album

    but these 2 are great songs

    still wondering what happened with that 4th lad
    of the band, don't remeber his name without checking, it's just insane...,
    what if Mike Joyce disapeared in 1985, and no news till today...

    [throwing a stick, well Rourke, but he was fired,
    but when Gannon did his first jam, Andy was back]
