    3:12 even after 25 years to see a song still have this joyous effect is brilliant...timeless, timeless 😍😍

    Pure class and don’t forget the driving power of the drums and the beautiful orchestral arrangement make this song one of the most underrated songs ever

    Probably one of the oldest CDs in my collection. Without checking, i must've bought it in the early to mid 90's but i still dig it out for a listen when i'm struggling for something i still like. These guys are the real McCoy.

    JDB sounds great. The extra guitars add an extra layer to the sound. Giving it a fuller sound. I like it

  • @NickBudgen
    @NickBudgen Před 6 lety +39

    Don't get the negativity, this is a brilliant version, the extra guitars really add to the song! Full of energy, absolutely love it.

    • @gethinap
      @gethinap Před rokem

      Here's my theory; There's nothing wrong with the arrangement or the performance. It's the Manics, it's top notch. It's the Studio. I don't know what it is about the Maidstone Studios, but it just made everything sound flat.

  • @marco69tits
    @marco69tits Před 6 lety +19

    Lovely to see Cardiffs Boy Azooga looking on and loving it.The Manics deserve so much credit for how they have made people take a look at Welsh music.

    Just saw them at Cardiff Castle. Lived in England all my life welsh parents. Manics are my little bit of my history. Every time it takes me back to my grandads pit Abertillery. We move on and enjoy a better life but God bless these boys for giving us the reflection we need.

    Was fortunate enough to see them in Auckland on their 'Send Away the Lions' tour in 2013. The best live performance I have ever enjoyed (sorry, even eclipsed Queen at St James Park!). This is an absolutely outstanding performance of an outstanding track from an outstanding album.

      @conorsmith8551 Před 2 lety

      I’d love to go see them in Oslo, or any Nordic country for that matter. Something special about seeing a band you love there, I saw rhcp in Finland in 2017, amazing experience . I’m from Ireland but seeing a band abroad is part of the adventure

  • @FabianRWhite
    @FabianRWhite Před 5 lety +14

    Incredible songwriting. Even just the basic guitar chord progression. I think this is the first song they wrote and released after Richie's disappearance, there's a great story behind it.

  • @andrewdavidbarratt
    @andrewdavidbarratt Před 7 měsíci +3

    I think it may not be beyond reasonability to say the Manics are the greatest UK band to come out of the 90s, even better than Radiohead. Because, not only did they reinvent themselves during that time several times over, their output over the following decades has consistently been excellent. And this song is their masterpiece. They haven't lost their relevance, or become a nostalgia act.

    • @Jonny_Red
      @Jonny_Red Před 5 měsíci

      Definitely the most important band of the last 30 odd years ... the lyrics stand up now more than ever especially since the past 4 years ❤

      @ciaranconlon84 Před 5 lety +16

      They're not as rich as you might think. They give a lot of money to charity but they don't do it for publicity and most of it is undisclosed or anonymous. One thing I know is they brought a shipment of guitars with them to Cuba and gave them away to local children. They each have a decent amount of money to live comfortably but not lavishly, and Richey's share still goes into an account in his name.

    • @joelww2501
