Can't wait. I live in Glasgow. Saw the Manics at Isle of White Festival. Stunning! Practically every track was a hit! Blown away with Motorclye Emptyness second song. However, and there is no hyperbole here. The last two minutes of IF YOU Tolerate This.... when they let the crowd take over was LITERALY ( an abused word but I mean literally when I say literally) was the best couple of minutes of my life. 5000 people in that big top became one. Every last soul was.jumping up and down. Well, I'm so delighted to say I am going to Edinburgh Castle Esplanade and Londons Alexander Park next July. It was a toss up.between Dublin and London but I'm a Manics man. And Manics start in Dublin but are 2nd in Edinburgh and London. So Suede are simply a decent warm up.act for me.

The Holy Bible. Not played that for about 20 years. Great record but tough to listen to. Might dig out the cd today and bang it on the hifi. However, 1994- what a time to be alive (I was 17 at the time).

He's been way much more of a frontman in the past 15 years or so than he was in the early days. Back then he'd barely acknowledge us except for the occasional "this one's called..." Or "thank you" 😂

He dares to do! At least he could have kneeled in front of you 😂 But isn't it acknowledgement enough for the audience as long as the artist really goes for it? I got T-shirts with "This one's called..." The signature announcement ... 😘 ARS GRATIA ARTIS 🐇

@@MelD1404 😂 it never bothered me with bands having huge interaction with the fans. I'm there to hear their tunes not have a conversation. I wasn't complaining, just stating my observance. Haha yeah that and "Thank you. Goodnight."

Seriously? Often a bad idea to venture West from Chester train station. I suppose the South Welsh, like him, are friendlier.

Both was amazing that night! i was there as well , but throwing the flower for Suede, Brett was giving 100% and not taking it with audience with phones on the front row that night . Love both of the bands !

@kiri4341 couldn't agree more! He's like a rubber ball, bouncing here and there giving his 110%, and he's almost 60 y.o!! 😦

You a lesbian?

Cos you're so different

It was all of them for me, although the Manics were my first band I truly loved (no pun intended) Oasis were everything I needed when they came along as those few years prior were far too intense and often dark. The Manics were an unbelievable but tragic ride along the way that you could get very easily become obsessed with due to their art and philosophy on the world. Oasis were the few years of cheering up and bringing out my shell I needed as a young teenager 😂

Others will no doubt feel the same about Suede. Enjoy your favourites and open your mind, you might just find that you enjoy Suede too

Fair point@@piganeiros

You mean...like the full set they are doing on tour. both bands doing 80 minutes

They are full sets. It's as long as they would play if they were playing completely alone with no support

A full set each man! It's gonna rule

Think you'll find most journalists would cite Suede as the pioneers. And they're by far the better band

@@donovanpain83 And we all know how bright music journalists are.

Yes you heard the ego speak that he created Brit pop

Writers at NME and Melody Maker invented Britpop.

Blur's first album, Leisure, wasn't Britpop. Suede's first album was March 1993. Modern Life is Rubbish was May 1993.

yes but suede were the first to do “britpop music,” (in the sense of the movement) blurs music before wasn’t really considered britpop. i guess suede started the conversation

@@sophielou2929 Suede 'blew up' before Blur though. Yes Blur were around but they didn't really make much of an impact, they were out in the US touring but wasn't much of a success. Then there was the 'Melody Maker' front cover 'The best new band in Britain' which was in 1992. Blur's success came with 'Parklife' which was 1994

Blur started out as trying to be like The Stone Roses.

@@pobstrel yeah, it took them a while to find ‘their sound’ and when they did they did, Graham wanted to move away from it. To be more like Pavement

Modern life is Rubbish was the first Britpop album..it had 3 or 4 hits which were top 30

They did...

@@765claire arrogant and egotistical

@@NC2871926 check your history...

His name is Brett.

@@emrah5538 so

Suede were kind of reheated Ziggy Stardust

They're one of those bands where I really liked their singles and whenever I'd hear the odd album track, yet still never somehow bought their stuff ? The Manics on the other hand...🤯😂

​@@thejoin4687Manics are like fly the jam rag suffragettes.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

@@user-fh2vx3hd6c🫵 Suede were the worst band of the Britpop scene. Oasis smashed them all.

Ridiculous. Suede had shed loads of hits. Coming Up in '96 had 5 top ten hits alone.

Manics biggest hit singles/albums were between 1996 and 1999. Suede had hits constantly from 1994 until 1999. Manics managed to get a hit in late 00s from Send Away the Tigers. Suede have managed to have successful album releases since reuniting (music industry is different now to 90s). Think your comment is off the mark.

Suede were terrible. So many great Britpop bands but they were nowhere near that level. OCS, Cast, Oasis and the Verve were different league to Suede.
