Everything Must Go…

 


Seamless…train from Tweedbank, then onto the big city tram, through the bale wrapper and briskly frisked through interrogation with hours to spare/wait.

  

Everything Must Go" by Manic Street Preachers is a bittersweet reflection on navigating loss, transition, and moving forward, written largely after the 1995 disappearance of band member Richey Edwards. It represents a "clearing out" of the past and a reluctant acceptance of change…Ring any bells??


Next stop Madrid.


I saw these at Blackburn KGH just two days after the release of their debut studio album, Generation Terrorists, on 10 February 1992. At this time, the band featured its classic four-piece line-up: 



  • James Dean Bradfield: Lead vocals and lead guitar
  • Richey Edwards: Rhythm guitar and lyrics
  • Nicky Wire: Bass guitar and lyrics
  • Sean Moore: Drums 

James Dean Bradfield had the phrase “You love us”scrawled on his chest in lipstick…Great days!
