Manics ft. Cerys Matthews - Your Love Alone Is Not Enough

[coyoteracer11]

Actually I think I was wrong, it looks like a cut but on watching again I think she just didn't know the bit - my apologies! I still think she did OK despite a couple of mistakes.

[PhoenixTheFox]

@Coyoteracer11

Ah. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[coyoteracer11]

At 1.54 it's a very bad cut not Cerys getting it wrong. I think she does OK - she probably had about 20 mins practice an hour before they did it. And I love that first James then Nicky are coaxing her through the vocals - at one point James gives her a knowing/reassuring look as if to say "it's ok love"

[PhoenixTheFox]

1:54

Why do they skip that part?

[matt137pickman]

Nice to see that Simon Price is still alive and well.

[frontierdarren]

I met Cerys a few years back and she is one the most warm and generous people i have ever met!

[jarmchairpilot1]

shit for brains NME fake spoilt brat generation crowd look more like they want to see MACFLY or something -Nicky does sound very bad here-stick to the bass my friend,being in a band myself armchairpilots cannot tell what the crowd are hearing,onstage sound is never the same-there is too much reverb to make the sound bigger.

[juliannebonner]

Please someone - stop Nicky Wire singing. My dog sounds better.

[SuperMegabar]

@juliannebonner lol, he does sound quite bad here.

[wreaksrevenge]

What a bunch of comatose NME-reading twats in the audience. You've got one of the best rock bands of the last 20 years performing live and loud in front of you, with the added bonus of Cerys, and you sit there like you've got a pole shoved up your arse??

[PhilSupernova88]

@wreaksrevenge Welcome to the world of rock music. People would rather listen to bands who have about as much relevance for 6 months than these have had since Generation Terrorists. It's a joke that bands like the Manics aren't revered as opposed to university challenge bands like Bloc Party and Keane

[ppanhoto]

What happened to the rest of the song?

[headhunterscfc]

saw manics duetting this with charlotte church.....awesome

[wefting]

@headhunterscfc that would have interesting to hear

[headhunterscfc]

@wefting audio is here: Charlotte church and the manic street preachers your love alone audio

[Therealgummibear]

I'd say that Nina's voice is more polished than Cerys's, but on the other hand, there is a raw strenght & passion in Cerys's so my vote goes to her:-)

[dave17186]

A bit disappointed with Cerys, she seems to have let her voice go a bit. Either that or she hasn't warmed up, she's nowhere near in tune and forgot a few lines. James' voice is gold here though.

[catatoniafan80]

I saw cerys live

[catatoniafan80]

cerys is amazing though

[bbctimecommanders]

I prefer this version with Cerys dueting

[DanLadUK88]

hah. Simon Price spies a young girl... *shudder*

[billbobg]

Great !!!!!!

[Dadutta]

0:56

Amazing :)

[redrabbit84]

ninaaaaaaaa!!!

[craggy1969]

Even after that in the jungle crap, after seeing this i can let her off lol, she's great.

[Conway79]

Cerys should have been on the album version. Period.

[puacino]

I love this song! Both versions, with Nina and with Cerys too!

[bbctimecommanders]

The Cerys version is better

[mattdot666]

Is there a full version of this about?

[mattwsims80]

no all copies have been destroyed

[mattdot666]

gutted...

[Ancupola]

Cerys is so powerful..,,,,,,,,,,amazing woman and so talented too.

[riaoooo]

wow, nina persson was great, and this one is mega wow!

[glynceivilla]

Nicky should have changed the words to "I wish Cerys had learned her lines"

[emmascribbles]

True dat, though Bradders never knew the words to anything either. What would be great is both of them doing a cover and forgetting the lines all Welshly. This video is adorable.

[starsxrockets]

I like the three-way thing they get going at the end, James then Nicky then Cerys.

[THUNDER0SE]

cerys rocks!

[TheManics4Life]

Man, I've GOT to learn how to play the guitar as good as The Manics!

[MandyJeanx]

Cool!I LOVE this song!

[TheManics4Life]

YAyY GREAT GUITARING!!!! GREAT SONG TOO!

[gedwest]

Great Song

[frankiejack23]

I fucking love the manics, but I wish they'd find a bird who could pull off singing with James. Sorry to Cerys and Nina but they both sound shite singing this live!

[darlarat]

Hmm, how about Traci Lords?! She kinda mimicked James' voice for 'Little Baby Nothing'...?!

[frankiejack23]

Little baby nothing! I forgot about Traci!!! Love that song. I think it sounds cracking on Generation Terroists tho. Did she ever play it live with them? Iam not sure....

[darlarat]

She did play it live with them but I'm gutted I never heard it or got an opinion from anyone I personally knew! I remember they got Kylie to sing it in about '98 on tour...I wish, when they're feeling nostalgic they'd ask Traci again, would love to hear it...maybe she could do Your Love Alone too...and hey, if she's shit, at least we know, heh...;)

[maricarmen67]

I agree

[maricarmen67]

@frankiejack23

perhaps Pj Harvey?

[Cosmiccaz]

I love that!!!!!

[maurizioborri]

Great song and grat live act! I love them!

[batchen12]

Thanks for the video!

[bluelightalarm]

woohoo!
