I met Alice Cooper last Thursday. Really.

Oh, I forgot to add add a pointless music fact.

The 'whooshing' sound at the beginning of 'The Cradle Will Rock', by Van Halen, is Eddie sliding a beer bottle down the neck of the guitar.

Also from Van Halen, the sound that fades in at the beginning of 'Runnin' With the Devil', is actually the four band member's car horns.

"Planet Telex" was recorded when Thom was drunk after they had all gone out to a restaurant because the catering staff at RAK were having a day off. Thom was said to be slumping on the floor and a microphone was placed near his mouth. This also was the only song written in the recording studio.

Swedish author and Morrissey fan Peter Birro claims that track "Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together" saved him from committing suicide.

On May 15, NME journalist Steve Lamacq questioned the Manics' seriousness at the Norwich Arts Centre. In response, Richey took out a razor blade and carved "4 Real" into his forearm. The injury required a trip to the hospital where he received seventeen stitches.
