www.crashediting.co.uk Part 2 of the Journal for Plagued Lovers documentary. The making of the Manic Street Preachers Album of the same name. Directed by Patrick Jones and Nicky Wire.
My best guess: “This is truly fucking nuts[?]” “[?]” [no clue lol] “I can fucking hear it!” “Excuse me!” “What do you fucking think?” “[?]” [sort of sounds like “Carry on, Nicholas” but idk] “I came in and I said, ‘So, when do you- do you wanna do a couple of photos[?], Sean?’ He was talking to Steve. [imitating either Sean or Steve*] ‘Won’t be- won’t be _that_ big of an event, I don’t know why we’re fuckin’ bothering! What fuckin’ point? Not a _real_ release.’ [laughs]” *I figure it’s Steve because a) why would Sean say that and b) Nicky makes fun of Steve’s lack of enthusiasm several other times in this doc
I disagree. Nicky's version wouldn't have translated onto the record. James realized the potential and power in it. The way it is on the record is how it should be. I see it as a great collaboration.
