they might not look as cool as Oasis, more like office rats

They are fantastic! Bought their first album when that came out, and I've been on and off them since then. Saw them live at a festival a long time ago as well. But recently got tickets to see them in Manchester and really started listening up on them again. Even more impressed now. Loved them live. Even more so than years ago. Ended up buying The Holy Bible on vinyl just the other day, and look forward to to listening to it (have never really listened to it before). And to see them live again some time soon!

Absolutely love them, and to echo posts above, they continue to release superb music…

Just watched this video and I guess that was Richey on rhythm guitar and James with the mask on.

Yep! However: Richey’s guitar was never audible, with it either been turned right down, or not plugged in. He couldn’t play guitar. All guitar on their records is the work of James Dean Bradfield.

However, any long running band has that album the fans have taken to heart, the cult classic in a sense.

Great band, and "If You Tolerate This" has new meaning, its gone from Lefty Uni unjustified angst to, well, do i have to spell it out, just look at the world now compared to two years ago.

Worst interpretation of a lyric award goes to.....
Everyone knew what the Manics were about after that TOTP appearance. It got 20,000 complaints. There was a lot happening world wide at that time, the angst was justified. Not everyone got a chance to go to University then either. Being poor was colourless. Years of apartheid, Cold War, and a lot of other crap left a global angst. It came out of Seattle in an abundance, bands like the manics just carried that flame.
Oasis did it in the most working class way, which is “@#$%& it all and have a good time” that was needed also.

Sounds like you went through the same experience they did at the same time, it's mind control throughout the education system and then they really train the brain through Universities, especially in the UK and it's even worse now, what people tolerate today is worrying beyond anything you can imagine.
So for me those lyrics ring louder and true more than ever, I know that's not what the writer intended but play that song on YouTube today and read the comments.
This is how people feel today about those lyrics, proves it's not just my interpretation. Worst interpretation oh really.
