Manic Street Preachers‘ first American tour in 10 years begins Sept. 21 in Seattle, the very city where the Welsh rock band started its last tour in 1999. Singer/guitarist James Dean Bradfield is hoping that this show, which follows the US release of the band’s ninth album ‘Journal for Plague Lovers,’ goes better than the one a decade ago. “It was f—-ing awful,” Bradfield tells Spinner.
The travesty was due to the band’s gear being held up at Sea-Tac Airport. “The equipment arrived 30 minutes before the gig and everything was out of tune. Also, I think Peter Buck might have been there,” he adds of the R.E.M. guitarist and Seattle resident. “Somebody said he was there and I remember feeling intense pressure because ‘Murmur’ and ‘Reckoning’ are two of my favorite albums. I hate it when someone says, guess who’s in the audience — Peter Buck. Oh great, good, thanks for the pressure. Thanks a lot,” he half-jokes.
