Nailed To History
In the last two decades Manic Street Preachers have established themselves as one of the UKs more enduring intelligent and credible rock groups with nine Top Ten albums 16 Top Ten singles three Number Ones and a brace of Brit Awards. But that quest for greatness has seen the band follow a difficult sometimes torturous path with one of their number - the gifted yet deeply troubled Richey Edwards - abandon that quest altogether for destinations still unknown. Nailed To History traces the slow yet inexorable climb of the South Wales band from their late 80s origins as glam punk inspired though critically derided Generation Terrorists to their current position as respected art rock intellectuals - a fact underlined by 2009s award winning disc A Journal For Plague Lovers. It also examines the
life and complex personality of Richey Edwards whose highly politicised morally disquieting wordplay defined much of the Manics early appeal - his personal demons writ large across 1994s dark masterwork" The Holy Bible. Edwards evermore extreme behaviour culminated in his sad strange disappearance on February 1 1995 and forced the colleagues he left behind to re-examine their very purpose before making a triumphal return with 1997s million selling Everything Must Go. A story of "blood honour and enduring friendship" marked with "tales of boredom alienation and occasional despair " Everlasting contains interviews with those close to the band full album reviews an up to date discography and rare and unseen photos of the band."
