Heh, tez widzialam dzis ta stonę. A na czym polega przyłaczenie sie do Secret Society? Smile

A wracając do tych zdjec Nicka z 4 czerwca.... Na wiekszości z nich wyglada jakos tak, hmm, nieładnie Neutral

( czy raczej nie tak ładnie jak kiedyś) I czy te bransoletki nie wygladaja juz troche infantylnie? Facetowi niedługo czterdziestka stuknie Laughing

A tu i make-up, i jakas błyszcząca apaszka,i pełno bransoletek a do tego różowy garnitur Rolling Eyes

Chyba troche tego za duzo na raz. Niedługo Mr.Wire i jego córeczka bedą wygladać tak samo Twisted Evil

Co myslicie o jego image`u ? może czas zmienić?

Recenzja z Western Mail (którą dał ktoś na FD)

Wire’s solo show and pink suit wind down the Hay Festival
Nicky Wire is following in the footsteps of fellow Manic Street Preacher James Dean Bradfield.
Both artists have taken time out from the group to concentrate on solo projects with Wire plugging songs from his forthcoming debut album I Killed The Zeitgeist.On Sunday night, Wire graced the stage with his band The Secret Society in a loud pink suit – and around 45 minutes behind schedule - but this did little to quell the first few rows’ obvious excitement at seeing the outspoken showman tackle the live arena on his own.
Beaming at the prospect, Wire asked, ‘Have any of you been to James Dean Bradfield’s solo shows?’ Well, this is going to be a lot rougher.’
Wire kept to his word with opener Withdraw/Retreat, dedicated to JD Salinger and paying an obvious homage to the Buzzcocks with fuzz guitars and screamed vocals.
Wire polished off wine at a canter, first of all opting for a glass and then just gulping it straight from the bottle.
It didn’t affect his performance (!!!!)as he switched moods from light to dark with the melancholic Goodbye Suicide.
On the subject of the Manics, Wire told fans he would be recording with the band the following day as they are currently working on an album he believes sounds like Guns N’ Roses at their rocking best. In fat he described it as ‘Appetite for Destruction Part2.’
The set rolled on with The Shining Path, an obvious nod to New Order, in which Wire actually namechecked lead singer Bernard Sumner and mocked his own vocal limitations.
Wire twisted the knife into topics including Tory leader David Cameron and the band Snow Patrol who sound ‘just like Deacon Blue without the girl singer’.
The set closed with a song penned by Wire and his absent soul mate Richey Edwards called Condemned to Rock and Roll.
Wire told the audience he might have played his first and last solo gig.
The show was full of baroque comedy, colourful language, forthright opinion and a scattering of decent songs.
With a Welsh tour pencilled in for later in the year, it is likely Wire will be spreading the word of The Secret Society for a while yet.

Hay On Wye Review - FilmFour Cinema Tent.
Nicky Wire is also suffering a touch of Hay fever, but he’s taking his medication in liquid form.
In his salmon pink suit - clashing horribly with his Rula Lenska hair, Parma Violet cheek-glitter, silver sequinned scarf, deep purple iridescent guitar strap and all manner of fan-donated wrist jewellery, yelling “This is fucking awful… woooo!“ through that big Welsh grin, he resembles the best man at a gay wedding, five hours into the reception.
It’s the last day of the fortnight-long literary festival in Offa’s Dyke country, and Wire’s on a stage which, earlier on, hosted John Pilger and Salman Rushdie. The Manic Street Preachers bassist and motor mouth, chosen to close the event, is halfway down his second bottle of Pinot Grigio, and already has a wet patch on one knee (the result of an earlier stumble) which makes him look “like I’ve pissed myself”.
When he announces “For anyone who’s been to any of James’ (*Dean Bradfield, Manics singer*) gigs, this is gonna be a lot rougher… It’s hard living up to one of the greatest vocalists ever”, he isn’t kidding.
Wire’s solo album is surprisingly - for those who were expecting a load of punky ranting - *musical*, with proper singing. His first ever solo show, however, conforms to those expectations. Walking on to a recording of the Sex Pistols demoing “Johnny B Goode”, he continues in similarly chaotic style through most of his album, with added snatches of Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust”, Jonathan Richman’s “Roadrunner”, and the Manics’ own “From Despair To Where”, “Wattsville Blues” (mainly sung by the mad fans in the front row) and “Condemned To Rock’n’Roll”.
His band - long-time Manics collaborator Greg Haver and a couple of hired hands called Loz and Dave (chosen, he says, for their familiarity with Mr Sheen and Pledge products) - don’t have a bassist. Instead, there are three guitars, of which Wire’s acoustic, like (*disappeared Manic*) Richey Edwards’ back in the day, is lowest in the mix. Unlike Richey, Wire can play… a bit. His note-holding is somewhat wayward (“I tried to sound like Bernard Sumner” he sings, “but I sound like a cunt”) but, knee bouncing, mic aloft, grinning that famous wide Welsh grin, he doesn’t care.
The music, though, is less than half the story. Wire’s 55 minutes onstage contain maybe 25 minutes of music, and the rest consists of what he terms “baroque comedy”. He delivers hilariously merciless slaggings to Snow Patrol (“Deacon Blue without the girl singer, bunch of cunts”), rugby celeb Matt Stevens (“The thin Chris Moyles”), Embrace, David Cameron, and the entire nation of Italy. He does an impression of (*disappeared Manics guitarist*) Richey Edwards. He spots me in the crowd, and calls me a “beautiful bastard”. He really *must* be drunk.
It isn’t all laughter. “Goodbye Suicide” is dedicated to Elliott Smith and artist Paul Cannell. “Bobby Untitled” is, we learn, loosely based on poems Bobby Sands used to send to Christy Moore from his H-Block cell. He’ll switch from humour to seriousness in a split second. At one point, when we’re still giggling at some gag or other, he announces “this is about the futility of terrorism”.
Then the smile comes back. Tomorrow, hangover permitting, he’ll be in the studio with Bradfield and Sean Moore, working on a Manics album he describes as “*Appetite For Destruction 2*. It will follow next year, he says, “if I haven’t ruined everything by then. I keep telling James it’s a *cult* following...”

O albumie Nicka z [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] :

The Playlist-Huw Stevens:

"Nicky's Voice has an honesty and a child-like warmth which is pleasing on the ear..."
ITS not often a Manic Street Preacher personally hands you a copy of his new solo album.
There's good reason for this of course-Sean James or Nicky have never recorded one before. But with James Dean Bradfield's debut solo album offering now arriving on music industry folks desks with a water mark stamp and a friendly warning that if you upload it onto the internet the record companys lawers may well come round to your house and have a quite stern and nasty word in your ear.
Nicky Wire gave me a copy of his own album with the words "Do with it what you want".

Its called 'I Killed The Zeigeist' and it comes with a hand made sleeve by Nicky himself.
His voice has an honesty and a childlike warmth to it that is pleaseing to the ear, and the album on the first few listens is a close up and personal collection of songs that are emotional, honest and engaging, with no pomp or pretention involved.

Posłuchałem troszke tych nowych piosenek Nickyego w wolnych chwilach i musze przyznać że chłopak nie powinien sie brać za śpiew Wink

kasya

Absolutnie zgadzam się z powyższym! Ktoś powinien powiedzieć Nickowi, tak szczerze, od serca, że się na wokalistę nie nadaje. Może stworzymy petycję aby powstrzymać Nicka przed śpiewaniem Wink

nicky wire
i killed the zeitgeist
Supposedly taking time out between Manics albums, kicking his heels back home, Nicky Wire decided to go into a local studio and try out a couple of songs on his own. Six months later, there were twenty songs (later narrowed down to a succinct thirteen for the record) that ranged from buzz saw, bile spewing punk rock to reflective, crystalline Autumnal pop music, toxic one chord mantras to driving Neu-style workouts. Occasionally sounding like a young, Valleys born Bernard Sumner, occasionally like a man with an acoustic guitar battling against squall of 'Psychocandy', often like someone finally let loose in front of a microphone and having a blast, 'I Killed The Zeitgeist' is the debut solo album by Nicky Wire, possibly the first record to sit halfway between Reading Festival and the Hay Literary Festival.

Też dostałam informację, że mail nie może zostać wysłany. Dziwne to Neutral

Wyślę na ten drugi. Myslisz, że jak dostanie dwa z Polski to skłoni go do odpowiedzi? Razz

EDIT: wysłałam na ten drugi adres, póki co zwrotu nie dostałam
ale zastanawiam się gdzie w ogóle szukać tych odpowiedzi Confused

mam nadzieję, że opublikują na stronie
