"Nicky Wire has said that he would like Manic Street Preachers to play The Holy Bible in full at Glastonbury. The bassist told Lauren Laverne of the idea during their BBC Radio 6 Music live session at Maida Vale Studios today (October 17).  Asked about how the band might mark the 20th anniversary of the release next year, frontman James Dean Bradfield said: &amp;quot;I think [Nicky] might have a plan. We&amp;#039;ve definitely found a lot of Holy Bible material which we didn&amp;#039;t know we had. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t mean music - pictures, perhaps some notebooks, that kind of thing. We&amp;#039;ve found things there, definitely.&amp;quot; Wire added: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve had a good rummage in the attic and there&amp;#039;s plenty of stuff. &amp;quot;Lots of letters from each other. Lots of notebooks really that I forgot we had, myself and Richey especially. It&amp;#039;d be nice to do some sort of thing.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve wrestled with the idea of doing a gig playing the whole of it, but I&amp;#039;m not so sure...&amp;quot; As the audience whooped, Wire responded: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d like to do it at Glastonbury actually, I really would.&amp;quot;      Laverne responded: &amp;quot;Okay, well I know that they listen in the office, so maybe we can work that out before the end of the set.&amp;quot; Wire told Digital Spy last month: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s 20 years since The Holy Bible next year, and there&amp;#039;s a bit of us that thinks, maybe we should for once, stop being so f**king principled and make loads of money and play it! &amp;quot;Try and get a hologram of Richey, or something, like Tupac! But I&amp;#039;m not sure. I don&amp;#039;t think we will [play an album in full] again.&amp;quot; Manic Street Preachers have a chequered history at the festival, with Wire quipping from The Other Stage in 1994: &amp;quot;I say build some more f**king bypasses over this s**thole.&amp;quot;      The band also were criticised by Billy Bragg ahead of their 1999 performance for putting a sign on their own toilets in the production area reading: &amp;quot;These facilities are for the exclusive use of the Manic Street Preachers. Please respect that.&amp;quot; Before playing &amp;#039;Tsunami&amp;#039; at that year&amp;#039;s T in the Park, Wire responded: &amp;quot;This is for Billy Bragg. I wouldn&amp;#039;t let his d**k piss in my toilet for all the money in the f**king world. &amp;quot;Get back into the Army you f**king d**khead and stop stealing Woody Guthrie&amp;#039;s songs, you big-nosed tw*t.&amp;quot; The band have since returned to the festival in 2003 and 2007.  Asked about the band&amp;#039;s relationship with their older material, Bradfield told Laverne: &amp;quot;&amp;#039;The Love Of Richard Nixon&amp;#039; - did that song need to be written? &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re not quite sure. We kind of like it in a strange, twisted way, which is very close to our natures.&amp;quot; The full BBC Radio 6 Music Manic Street Preachers setlist was as follows: &amp;#039;Motorcycle Emptiness&amp;#039; &amp;#039;Your Love Alone (Is Not Enough)&amp;#039; -- Interview -- &amp;#039;Show Me The Wonder&amp;#039; &amp;#039;If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next&amp;#039; &amp;#039;Anthem For A Lost Cause&amp;#039; -- Audience Q&amp;amp;A -- &amp;#039;30 Year War&amp;#039; &amp;#039;A Design For Life&amp;#039; --- &amp;#039;This Is Yesterday&amp;#039; (James Dean Bradfield solo acoustic) Manic Street Preachers Live at BBC Maida Vale Studios for BBC Radio 6 Music is available on Listen Again now, and to watch on any BBC channel via the Red Button from 7pm tonight.
