Richey James Edwards - RIP
I suppose if even his family thinks he's dead, I should probably give up hope too. Here's the Manics' appearance on TOTP playing 'Faster' - apparently they broke the Sex Pistols' record for most complaints to the BBC or something that day.



Awesome. But the news comes with a silver lining - the Manics are recording their new album with STEVE ALBINI, and using leftover Richey lyrics. That could be all kinds of awesome.

I don't understand why that footage was so complain-about-able???

James is wearing a balaclava, which in Britain at the time was generally associated with the IRA - who were still a militant organisation at the time. Combine that with the music and the clothes, and you get the idea.
