I was dragged to this gig by my niece who needed a responsible adult in order to get permission to go. I knew nothing of the music and I hadn't even heard of the support act who were "That Petrol Emotion" - great band name. I liked them a lot; there was a lot of energy and attitude but some good guitar playing as well.
The Manics continued with that same theme really, guitar, attitude, energy and also with a real anthemic (but in a good way) feel to a lot of their tunes. I see from a set list that they played loads of stuff from "Generation Terrorists" which is not surprising given it was their only album. I felt at home listening to some quality angry indie guitar playing even though the audience was a lot younger. And I still like listening to the Manics today. They may have mellowed - I'll find out tomorrow when I catch them in Birmingham.
