The Story Behind: Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible, Ep 147

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Manic Street Preachers came roaring out of Cool Cymru movement in late 80s Cardiff (Wales) only to face an uphill battle with mental illness and rock n roll decadence. The boys welcome a special guest and talk about lyric-first songwriting, working class musicians' ethos, and the dark disappearance story of this band's de facto leader.
