First sentence: Let's not begin at the beginning. Instead, let's start on February 1, 1995, when Richey James Edwards left his room at the London Embassy Hotel, Bayswater, at 7am.
Description: The Manic Street Preachers used punk, poetry and pride to fuel their music and release them from the grim reality of their lives in working-class South Walkes. They used slogans and confrontation, raging against the world with songs like 'Slash n' Burn', 'Mororcycle Emptiness', 'From Despair To Where' and 'A Design for Life'. The story of the Manic Street Preachers is a tale of longing, discovery, pain and joy. Here, that story is told in full for the firsh time, using pictures and orginal artwork by the band.
