Manic Street Preachers Slam Franz Ferdinand

More Manic Street Preachers

Hoover-loving Manic Street Preacher Nicky Wire has stuck the knife into those amiable Scots Franz Ferdinand.

Wire had a dig at Franz’ single ‘Do You Want To?’ claiming that it has abominable lyrics that he says are a “crime.”

He said: "They committed the worst ever lyrical crime - 'Here we are at the transmission party/I love your friends, they're all so arty.' Crap!"

The bassist instead hinted that he much preferred the current crop of emo bands like My Chemical Romance, reportedly adding: "My Chemical Romance? I'd rather my daughter got into them than some of these British bands."

James Dean Bradfield is a better lyricist than Nicky these days - as his solo album proved last year. And as for This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours...

Keep up, Nicky. It’s not 2005 anymore. Franz Ferdinand aren’t going to be listened to by anyone’s kids ever again.
