Manics - Design for Life (Millenium night live)

[Jofph]

It seems that it's really hard to smash a baseguitar into pieces nowadays after a lifeperformance:-). One of the many rockn'n roll clichés, like crowdsurfing...Great song and vid anyway....

[castielsangel95]

LoL, I wasn't even in the 1st grade when the Manics performed on Millenium night....

JDB = LoVe and...what real talent looks and sounds like.

[NorthCountryBoy43]

@MonkeyHunch , Did you come out of the closet ? ( a new man and all that !)

[MonkeyHunch]

@NorthCountryBoy43 LOL no,, much more complicated ..)

[NorthCountryBoy43]

@MonkeyHunch ..LOL... Sounds it mate, hope your okay, peace -)

Go shove your Bristol City Service Firm and your soul crew firm back to the 70s where it belongs you twat.

On another note, looking forward to december to see these at the o2 arena in london. Anybody else going?

[bristolcityifcation]

[classicbritpop]

[MrFloat223]

it took us 5 1/2 hrs to drive through thick fog back to halifax in middle of the night after my mate had had 12 cans of lager. we saw 9 cars all the way home. one of the best nights of my life. thankyou manics x

[PhilJay06]

I was there! Awesome. Even if you couldnt get a beer!? Just put this as my Fave Song ever on 30 Day Song Challenge on FB. Gwents Finest.

[SouthSugarMan]

[RodVL]

[BillandBoris]

CARDIFF,CARDIFF,CARDIFF!

[chocomog35]

JDB dancing. Priceless.

[schaag]

i wanna know the girl which is shown twice....she is so cute...i dream about her for years....

[jameyinegypt]

@schaag Hi there , maybe i can help you out i think she is a regular manic's fan i saw her at Leicester De Montford Hall in October last year, not completely sure but it does look similar to her. She started chatting to me and she was buying manic's merchandise there. Lovely girl if it's her she had a foreign accent too. Oh well best of luck in finding her m8.

[Enterthehunter]

Just wondering, what does James say before he shows us his moves? aha

[dazman1972]

@Enterthehunter Axle Rose Dance

[Golfclub02]

@Enterthehunter I think he sais "ok watch this" but i'm not sure even though I have watched this DVD loads of times.

[RipoffBritain666]

@Golfclub02 he says "Can I have more monitors" I think :)

[maximumpower4700]

its a good worldwide broadcast ending

[anthony342]

nicky wire doing his angus young

[specialness16]

2:41 definitely has filmed some porn I reckon

[Albanwinter]

Just an amazing night. No matter what age I am when I leave this life I will truly remember how this night felt. And all the ridiculousness that happened in and around those days in Cardiff. Wouldn't have changed it for the world.

On a related note: Does anyone out there have video from Cardiff Central the day after the gig? It was an amazing sight and the photo I took just does not do it justice.

[ceridawn]

nice socks.

[KosmicFlux]

lol love how his guitar drops out and they just carry on regardles, followed by a little dance by Bradders. Class!

[jennytot86]

I was 13 when i was there and i still regard that as the best night of my life :)

[krskipp]

I was there too, but I was suffering badly with flu and felt like I was going to keel over for most of the night. Shouldn't have travelled down by rights, but I wasn't going to miss it that's for sure.

[MrShakey187]

one of the best gigs i been too this one ......

[mlc3]

Libraries gave us power

[AJen912]

my husband sings this to me sometimes... saw them live earlier this month.. in Boston.. it was fantastic!!!! A truly great show!

[destiny6666]

yeah I sing this to my girl with a small change:

I'm designed ... for "her" life" ... kinda sounds like it anyway ...

:)

[Jofph]

Wow, is the baseplayer a hardcore rocker or what? He's ruining his equipment after the show...wow, never seen that before...a real turn off of a great performance...and why is he wearing those tight little shorts? Did the contract told him to?

[Avenmarc]

Had a great night night in Aberdeen for the Millenium, thx to the locals. All the boats in the Harbour sounded their whistles and bells...but in my heart this..si where I wanted to be on that night .

[madMosher023]

bradfield is truly a great musician. i love his music and will continue to till i die. i want this at my funeral. along with guns n roses november rain.

[gggghh788]

And Y2K never happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[axelle3577]

Nicky made at least a good publicity for the Fender basses proving how solid they can be :D

I love his arm gesture, like he's upset the thing hasn't been smashed up at once

[Rockonbigfella]

words reli cantr describe thre fucking rock gods:)

love from belfast

power to the people;)

[Rockafellaton]

james looked scared counting down, he must hav thought the world was gona end lol, i wana go bac in time, this was epic, i seen them, in june, best gig ive ever been too...

[edenm0vi3s]

They couldn't have picked a better band to end off the millenium. No one can ever top that performance on any level.

[LasX2]

Matt, i agree =D

[MANICSGNR]

lmao at james funky dances

[Biker16Madd]

ahh james' strap broke :| it happens lol

but gotta say, this is one kick ass song to play! seans going for it on the drums

[Poosaviour93]

Rofl at nickys failed attempts to smash his bass.

[menogay]

best live performance by any fucking band....

[musicsnobtobe]

I love the bit just before this (at least I think it is, could be before Stay Beautiful) when James introduces them. If someone could upload that that would be great. Sean apparently got the better deal congenitally. They're both gorgeous, bless James and his self-deprecation.

[anatomiaf]

lo que da risa algunos grupos grupo del reino unido son maricos  algunos de sus integrantes,otro se visten como mujer muy buena la cancion.

[jeffcrapinthehead]

TOP THAT!!! What a way to end a gig..and a millenium. This is as good as it gets by anyones standards. Just look at Sean at3.56. He's playing out of his skin. That's real passion. Inspiring. Profound.

[lysander1]

one of the best videos on youtube

[zombiebrainedaliens]

Too right.

[MissSWinter]

its so sad that we dont get shows like this one anymore :(

[museemil1]

hahahahahaha 3:56

[cynarra]

[Jamingedling]

lol funny wen the guitar strap snapt, n wen he got new guitar n he kicked bk in2 the riff superb. n Nickys a fukin raver love him!

[Rockafellaton]

i wanna go back in time, this was historic, i wish i was a this gig 'it doesnt matter what u are welsh,irish,english we luv u'... the millenium, i wonder wat was goin through every1's heads

[lostmyshoes80]

James is a joker! who says they don't have a sense of humor.

[spacemonkeygif]

i was there!!! great song , great night , great band

[importedmusic]

I was there!!! A great night!

[perpitbla5]

James snaps a string during one of the most important songs he ever wrote on one of the most important nights of his life, and STILL comes out looking like a legend.

[travismak]

where?

[Guitar16Madd]

lol the bassist got a bit nuts, but great song

[SplitScreenSamba]

It doesn't get better than the Manics. Ever.

[lundb3rg]

It has to be one of the best songs ever made!

[Avenmarc]

I was in Aberdeen for millenium night (work) , was a great night thanks to the locals but this was where I really wanted to be.

[destiny6666]

great tune, but WTF are they saying???

hee hee

[destiny6666]

gee I first saw this band on TV and thought they were German ... couldn't understand a word ... then realised who they were months later ... great tune, needs to improve the sluring of words ...

[firehorsecancer]

improve your listening skill...

[welshandirish]

Geezzuss / Does It get better ?

Naaaaaaaahh !

Welsh Pride !!;)

[AdiJones21]

Thank you Manics for giving everything.

We love you.

[lozza456789]

[Ulfnarr]

[policeblue999]

[redrabbit84]

[Redzz454545]

[spacemonkeygif]

Cardiff, Cardiff........ goodnight!

[eggboy1]

This song was written by Piggy McTavish. He stored cans of spam under a blue trampoline made out of lizard skins & half chewed humbugs.

[spacemonkeygif]

goodnight

[youwillbowtome]

this song was so good! it makes you realise just how shit british bands are today.

Ditch the fashion, write a decent song!

[culleytom]

one of the most beutifully written songs of the 90's. an absolute anthum, and james allways seems to pull it off live. possibly the best band to come out of whales ever.

[Ulfnarr]

now I see why norwegians keep killing whales: they need them to extract all their black metal bands!

[0ThemTV0]

@culleytom **Wales

[Fabrique7]

@culleytom Wales*

[richierobz]

@culleytom didn't know this band came from a whale mate?

[behappyfran1]

[klaps1987]

Best song ever written.

[spacenyc]

we f*ckin love you til death. nice.

[howelldrake]

If there was any justice we yanks would have embraced these blokes way more than you did our bleeding Pumpkins.

[anthony342]

why does nicky wire dress like a muffin ..

[anemone77]

hehe, didn't nicky wire once slam kelly jones (stereophonics) for his inability to smash up guitars? ;o)

[welshlad6]
