Biography
Career Born on February 21, 1969 in Pontypool, he attended the local Oakdale Comprehensive school in Blackwood where he suffered years of cruelty and bullying (he claims he was like a "nerdier version of Woody Allen") for his name, lazy eye (a popular nickname was "Crossfire") and small size (another nickname was "He-man" - this was ironic as James is still only 5"5). Because of this James formed a rather exclusive relationship with three friends: his cousin Sean Moore, who lived with James and his family throughout their childhood after his own parents' divorce, and future bandmates Nicky Wire (real name Nicholas Jones) and Richey James Edwards. Bradfield is named after James Dean - his father wanted originally to call him Clint Eastwood Bradfield, but this was vetoed by his mother. is the 52nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Bradfield loved to run and was a fine steeple-chaser, and soon grew fond of famous punk rock band The Clash. He there-and-then gave up his dream of "being like Napoleon" and decided that he wanted to be a rock star. He learnt to play guitar by learning how to play Guns N' Roses's Appetite for Destruction with the curtains drawn in his parents' front room. He was soon busking of a Saturday on the streets of Cardiff - where apparently he got the name for the band from an old tramp who called him "the manic street preacher". Punk rock is an anti-establishment music movement beginning around 1976 (although precursors can be found several years earlier), exemplified and popularised by The Ramones, the Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Damned. ...

Wire soon began to join his friend busking (playing acoustic guitar) and the seeds of the band were planted. James was the musical brain, Sean was persuaded to join on drums and the bassist was Miles "Flicker" Woodward while Richey drove for the band. After several band names (the most interesting apparently being "Betty Blue", after the film of the same name) and the firing of "Flicker" followed with Richey joining, the band became Manic Street Preachers. The band began playing riotous gigs in various ‘toilet’ venues around the country. During these hectic times, James once had his jaw broken and couldn't sing for almost 2 months after he tried to defend Richey in McDonalds on his birthday. Redirct 37°2 le matin ...

However, they managed to release the self-financed Suicide Alley and were eventually signed by managers Phillip and Martin Hall. All four soon moved up to London, where they lived with Phillip Hall for some time in his new home rent free, which he had just bought with his wife, ‘paying’ their way by tidying and cooking. Contrary to popular belief, manager Philip Hall didn't remortgage his house, although the £45,000 investment still took up a massive amount of his personal wealth. The band quickly became a cult and, possibly, the most hated band in Britain. James would often be pelted with bottles on stage - and once took one full on the face.

The Manics (as they are often affectionately known) began recording their first album in the early 90s, and James supplied all the guitar parts despite Richey being credited with playing the instrument on the album. 1992 saw the band release Generation Terrorists, which included the hit singles Motorcycle Emptiness and You Love Us. It was quickly followed with the moderately successful but critically mixed anthemic rock of Gold Against the Soul. During the era of their controversial third album The Holy Bible, James became a semi-alcoholic - which only worsened with the infamous disappearance of friend and band member Edwards.

James later moved to London, continuing to battle issues with alcohol. The band then decided to continue without Edwards and record the fourth album Everything Must Go - the success of which brought them into the mainstream for the first time. Everything Must Go is the title of two albums. ...
The band's fifth album This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours saw them berated by many 'hardcore' fans for going mainstream but brought them huge worldwide success and their first number one single in the form of If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next. With their sixth studio album Know Your Enemy, the band promised a return to their punk beginnings. Tracks from the album were first aired in Cuba at a concert attended by Fidel Castro (this gig was later made in to the DVD Louder Than War, which was named after a joke Castro made when Nicky suggested the concert might be a bit loud). However, the album failed to enthrall either the hardcore faithful or the EMG/TIMTTMY-era fans and the Manics retreated to Wales.

The release of the band's 'Best of' Forever Delayed was at the end of 2002, and was accompanied by a nation-wide tour. Neither the compilation, nor the accompanying new song There by the Grace of God made much impact on the charts, and although the tour sold well, it was a somewhat sober occasion compared to earlier stints. 2003/04 were spent recording new material, including time with veteran producer Tony Visconti and in October 2004 the band released their single The Love of Richard Nixon, which breezed to number 2 in the charts. The band's seventh album Lifeblood was released shortly after. In addition to this, Bradfield's second lyric writing foray came in the shape of 'Firefight', a track from the free God Save the Manics EP of April 2005, paving the way for his solo album the following year. There By The Grace Of God was released by Manic Street Preachers on October 14 2002 and was a one off release to coincide with the release of the greatest hits album Forever Delayed. ...

He has also played one further date in London ULU in June 2006, featuring a similar setlist to the other gigs, but with the addition of further Manics favourite No Surface All Feeling. Bradfield also performed at the 2006 V Festival in late August. He embarked on his first full UK tour - consisting of 15 dates - in October.
