Manic Street Preachers, why the nonexistent success in the US?
Anyone have thoughts as to why the Manics don't exist in America, period? For having achieved such long-lasting success and putting out 130(?) songs in 15 years, one must wonder why American promoters are entirely uninterested. I've only seen or heard about them once on anything other than the internet (I'm across the pond), and that was on late night MTV in 1999.
Perhaps James' singing voice is too obscured for American audiences? I suppose they do quite well in Japan, since every Japanese CD includes multiple bonus tracks unavailable elsewhere.
Many bands and singers dont make it in the USA
eg Robbie Williams
we are going to see the Manics in a couple of weeks in Colonge Germany
great group
