Manics - Motorcycle Emptiness [Leaving the 20th Century DVD]

[revol148]

3:37 - but where are they now I wonder?

[mrralvintwerp]

its great how he sings about such values whilst wearing a 12 grand rolex watch!!!

[padraic2001eire]

5:10 for why James Dean Bradfield is my favourite guitar player of all time (and yes, I'm familiar with Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Beck and Gilmour).

[RefugePointUK]

@bristolcityifcation On behalf of my retarded bristolian friend i apologise to cardiff as a city in whole. This keyboard warrior needs to realise music has nothing to do with football. Motorcycle Emptiness is definately one of the best songs of the 90s.

[bristolcityifcation]

fuck the soul crew come to bristol and get done u know it we know it CSF RUN U ALL THE TIME YOUR NOTHING REMEMBER WHEN WE COME OVER AND DONE THE PHILLANMORNIC!!!!! SEE U THIS SEASON SHEEP SHAGGERS YOUR NOTHING!!

[awryhighlander]

[StereOasis93]

@bristolcityifcation Im a Swansea fan but go away and get a life. Everyone else is here to enjoy the music

[TheAsaltmarsh]

pure class!!!!



[TheSPrules]

Nicky is beautiful.

[182sid182]

the bass player is gay?

[walesdragon1]

@182sid182 Nah he's not gay. It's just a traditional act he puts on at most concerts where he dresses in drag for luls.

[lovemaker1972]

@walesdragon1 just havin fun this dude nothing more

[unknownsailor85]

@182sid182 No just very very funny mate!! he's married

[ManicStreetKillers]

@182sid182 no, he's married with kids

[TheVauZwo]

der geilste song ever. leider viel zu selten gespielt. turn the volume to the max and open all doors :-)))

[wardy0712]

this song was written when james was seventeen talent like that should be treasured

[wardy0712]

[mattthompson79]

Love this gig. It's strange because this seems like yesterday, but I'm seeing them at Derby Assembly Rooms today, the venue must be 1/20th of the size. Still the best live band in the country.

[katoud12]

His voice is smaller

[quips2383]

My first ever concert, and still rank it as the best ever.

Unbelievable way to see in the new year!

[MrShakey187]

yes it was there concert an it was great ........ backed up by super fury animals if i remember correct

[popothedragon]

Swallow, swallow, then Nicky entertains the crowd with some hand gestures 4:36

Cryptic message perhaps?

[anthony342]

the geezer playing bass has silky purple panties on

[Rockonbigfella]

u gotta admire the manics so much:)their gigs is unreal:)

[Jofph]

Woof. This is such an amazingly impressive live performance of a great song. Thanx for posting! Though being dutch I needed a dictionary to understand what he was singing about. Strange words. And if I'd be their manager I'd kick the base player out of this group. He kills the line up on stage. Horribly dressed up in pink (yawn) like a weird, not completely finished transsexual in his transformation process. But the leadsinger and drummer are awesome and not a strain to look at!

[braddersthemod]

hahaha! nickys look is part of what makes this band mate!!!

[markdr123]

U moet weten iets over de band voordat je zeggen. Nicky Wire is ongelooflijk belangrijk voor de band, en hij schrijft de meeste van hun songs. Individualiteit op het podium is geen slechte zaak.

[MademoiselleLucija]

Manics are one of a kind

[ACAB84]

oh my god ...........what a song.masterpiece..enough said.

[ASININIUS55]

Manic Street Preachers is the gretest thing on world

[motownjunk92]

HELL YEAH!!

[minialexi13]

he spins around and yet still manages to play the intro riff.  that is skill !!!!!

[mystro810]

you said it... I can barely stand up and play guitar.

DId Manic Stret Preachers headline this concert? because that is a huge crowd. In the states people have scarcely heard of them. They sound like a really good band

[nowonderde]

not necessary to be known in th US to be an excellent group... for sure, they were the headliner. The concert was in their homecountry Wales...

[warriorprince1010]

It is the MSP concert all theirs, they are huge in the UK.

[boeingbloke777]

they are as good now as they ever were but music has moved on to shitty dance etc, so they are no where near as popular now and barely any people my age (15) know of them. They are not that well known or liked in america probably due to their very anti-american early stuff and the fact they did a gig in cuba, no reason that reflects their musical ability or style in any way.

[thebritgirl2]

do you know it was their own show, right ? It was MSP and friends, 90% of the crowd were only there for the manics

[angkatanudara]

manics.. just great :)

[Biker16Madd]

just awesome!

[Biker16Madd]

just awesome, no other word to describe.

[Rockafellaton]

aww this was historic, i wanna go back in time, 2000 begun at the end of this song, it was broadcast all over the world, i wanna go bac to the 90's...

[bentheled]

love it love it LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[importedmusic]

i was at this gig!!! Manics I Love You

[Guitar16Madd]

oh god did he mess the words up at 0:48 ? he started the 2nd verse words im sure..

awesome song though, brill band!

[joshyboi1991]

hehe trueee, covers it up well though....

[ycfc]

Nine years since then, 13 since EMG, yet I still consider both to be 'new Manics'

[temberherz]

love the Electric Guitar !!!! :-))

[ECMuse]

4.36 is HILARIOUS!

[Trunkey77]

nice music my dad have this on DVD LOL XD

every night he watch this LOL

[revol93]

If I was there, even in the last row, I'd be too happy! Watching Manics live is the best a person can experience, and being in a such crowd, man...

[Shoes4eva]

I got into the manics a couple of years back and they've stayed my absolute fave band ever, and i really wish id got into them sooner so i could experience events like this, its pretty emotinal song, along with the enthusiastic crowd, this video is perfect x

[parca0007]

toadape... I'm sorry man but if you were at that gig you would know that the audience absolutely loved it. The audience interaction was spot on (for such a big venue) and as for the manics today.. they are no where near as powerful as they were even years before this gig. I suppose once you reach a certain status the performance becomes a form of theatre. Hence the manics will probably never return to their days in the Blackwood Miners Institute.

[daehtihs123]

4:36.. trust nicky

[Kanon2106]

lol!!!

[Dext37Fielding]

By far the best version of Motorcycle Emptiness

the V Fest performance today was out of this world

the crowd was good...

[parca007]

I agree 100%!!! I was at the Millennium gig too!!!

[toadape]

I cant agree with you! alltough it is a good song and this live version is good. Its nothing compares to what they are doing now. THIS version is by far more epic since it is on such larger scale. but the band has no real chemistry towards the audience wich makes it a little less to care about. That was manics biggest problem around 2000-2005. They had trouble connecting to the crowd. They just sang and left the stage...
