''Patience' greatest comeback single in history"

">Nicky Wire (Manic Street Preachers' bassis) compares Take That to Neil Young

''Patience' greatest comeback single in history' says bassist.

The bassist told the Guardian he thought their 2006 single 'Patience' was the "greatest" comeback song ever – and that it did not gain the recognition it deserved"

"It's the greatest comeback single in history," he declared. "If Neil Young had written it, people would be calling it a masterpiece."

"It's got such a dark lyric: 'My heart is numb, has no feeling/So while I'm still healing/Just try and have a little patience'. There's also a maturity about it that suits the boys all grown-up.

Gary Barlow is a genius, I won't have anyone argue against him. When Arctic Monkeys slagged off Take That at an awards ceremony in 2006 I nearly lost it. James, his band-mate, was grabbing me by the arm saying, 'Don't lose it.

"You get so many alternative bands banging on about how to make perfect pop, and this kicks all their arses."
