The Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers, known for their hits and equally famous flops, have decided to share their unique experiences in a new book titled “168 Songs of Hatred and Failure.” This book promises to be a bestseller among aspiring rock musicians who dream of how not to succeed. 📚🎸
🎤 Want to Be a Rock Loser? Read the New Book by Manic Street Preachers!

Set to be released on September 11 by White Rabbit, the book serves as a “Guide for Future Rock Losers.” Across hundreds of pages, Manic Street Preachers humorously and sarcastically explain exactly what to do to ruin your career. From choosing the wrong producers to catastrophic tours, everything is described with such attention to detail that aspiring musicians can only envy. 🤦♂️
The book also pays attention to how to properly troll your fans and critics. Manic Street Preachers share their best methods for inciting hatred and disdain from the public and how to ensure your albums are only bought by your parents. “We want our mistakes to be a lesson for others,” the band members declare. “If you want to fail, do everything the opposite way!” 😂
Of course, there’s plenty of trolling of social groups. Manic Street Preachers delight in mocking stereotypes about rock musicians, showing that being a loser is an art form too. “We hope our book becomes a staple for anyone who wants to be a true rock loser,” they add. 🤘

Born in Crescendo, Indiana, Chord’s first brush with fame came when he accidentally entered a yodeling contest thinking it was a pie-eating competition—and won both categories.
