This strangely beautiful, delicious slice of Welsh man-meat is Nicky Wire, the man with “swimming pool-blue” eyes. His genuine, trademark wide grin serves as an adorable indicator of how emotionally charged this otherwise imposing, 6’3” and wiry-framed bassist and lyricist for the Manic Street Preachers can be. Speaking of emotionally charged, he looks like he’s having a powerful orgasm quite nearly all the time on-stage, totally blissful and all but crying out in the ecstasy of being lost in music…or -you wish!- in you.
“Naturally fucking intelligent” - an off-the-cuff self-description - he’s the rock musician with a politics degree, both sharp witted and sensitive, always poetically outspoken. His definition of sexy? “Wet. Natural. Dirty.”
