Sunday Dec 1st saw the opening night of The Manic Street Preachers UK and Ireland tour.
As suspected, Ian has taken a lot of flack from the Manics fans for his live performances, most saying his voice is terrible, his attitude stinks etc.
A source close to the band, said the whole band are enjoying the arena experience, and have had many positive vibes from the Manics fans.
Sunday night was dogged by bad luck though as, due to bad weather at Dublin airport, Inder Goldfinger's plane was turned back from Leeds only 15 minutes into the flight.
A tabla replacement was quickly found for Inder, though Aziz says Inder was sorely missed.
The Manics fans are at a loss as to why Ian was chosen as support.
Maybe they don't know that one Xmas night in 95 saw The Stone Roses supported
by The Manics at Wembley. A
returned favour?
