I really like Manic Street Preachers
I mainly like the albums with Richey James Edwards.
I just <3 him to bits.
I also wondered if he could be an aspie sometimes
He might also be dead but who knows?
Well any fans?

Good on you.

Strictly speaking Richey wasn't featured on the albums. He didn't contribute anything musically.
(but that's probably not what you meant...)

Cute.

Nah, just think he was plain crazy.

Give it a listen. It's a britpop classic.

As far as i'm aware, nothing was ever found, supposedly it's one of Muscis great mysteries.

I can thank my parents for intorducing me to Manic Street Preachers, they're a classic.

Have you heard Nicky Wires solo stuff? I love it, but then I always thought he was the genius of the two...

Punkish out-of-tune lo-fi. What's not to like?
No, seriously, I mean it. <3

Richeys main contribute to the band was looking good and acting strange. Nothing wrong with that. :wink:
I have a friend who´s still obsessed with Richey and claims he was (is?) brilliant, b-u-t he never wrote lyrics like "Sepia" or "Everything fades".
