Everything A Book About Manic Street Preachers

"[I]t's Price's unprecedented access to Manics insiders that provides the most subtle and penetrating touches. A PR describes how, during the funeral of early mentor Philip Hall, taciturn singer James Dean Bradfield squeezed her hand with such intensity that he ended up hurting her; another friend recalls visiting Richey at The Priory clinic and watching him trying to learn guitar....Wire emerges as an obsessive tidy-upper, drummer Sean a quiet, Sega-obsessed individual whose home-life is so private neither of his surviving bandmates has ever been round his house. There are also valuable insights into how Nicky, James and Sean coped with the uncommonly sensitive Richey on a day-to-day basis."Price, Simon is the author of 'Everything A Book About Manic Street Preachers' with ISBN 9780753501399 and ISBN 0753501392.
