In this period the band tried to attract more attention by going to the press and bashing a ton of their contemporaries, especially Shoegazing bands like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive (who they called " worse than Hitler") and Madchester bands like the Happy Mondays and The Charlatans. Their debut album, Generation Terrorists, was released in 1992 and sported a more mainstream, Guns N' Roses-influenced sound. The band was founded in 1986 as a Clash-influenced Punk Rock outfit, but quickly moved in a more Post-Punk direction before releasing their first EP, New Art Riot, in 1990. A fourth member, guitarist/songwriter Richey James Edwards, disappeared in 1995, and is believed to have committed suicide. The Manic Street Preachers are a Welsh Alternative Rock band consisting of guitarist/vocalist James Dean Bradfield, bassist Nicky Wire and drummer Sean Moore.
