I am a massive, huge, diehard Manics fan and a pretty proficient axe man and this is fucking brilliant for so many many reasons!!! The singers phrasing of the lyric catches me out every time - always something new and brilliant to discover! There goes a panda is amazing.
The vocals are really bad sorry. You really should have learned the words before recording the song. The music was alright, apart from the solo at the end which fell on it's arse.
I thought this was a lot of fun, and, come on, JDB even changed the words on occasion. I think what Richey might object to is zealots who tell people what to do or what not to do on his behalf. But who knows.
I am the guy playing bass on the left hand side. A sometime "Merchant". The Cattled Merchants (read the disclaimer) are a group of friends/family who come together every few months to get really drunk and piss about with some tunes we all like. The reason we are so excited at the end is because this was the FIRST time we had played this song together all the way through. We aren't a band, we're a group of mates. @joydivided: fuck up, tool.
I do like this. The singer's face at the beginning when he's doing the "I hate purity" part looks like Ray Stokes from When The Whistle Blows! "You avin' a laugh?"
@joydivided23 If your observational skills were a bit better you would notice that I'm reading the lyrics cos I dont really know them and tryin to play a guitar part i dont really know too. If you had any intelligence at all, you would also have taken the time to read the description b4 posting comments. However, Im pretty sure Richey would agree that I can do whatever the fuck I want with his lyrics with him being a beacon for freedom of speech and all. Could b im too thick to know any better.
@Squemby yeah good point richey would let anyone qoute his lyrics change them watever he was the only person in the world tht shares everything he thinks with everyone
Great cover. Its one of my fave manic songs, this cover does it justice as its covered with a passion and energy and that is all you need. Well played! especially liked the singer, puts the guts just where its needed in the song. Would love to see this cover band, do you do any gigs/pub/club circuits etc, I'm assuming you are North of Border, caught the accent toward the end.
how the f*ck can people criticize this??? I am a die-hard Manics fan.........and this is an amazing cover......... JDB would even say so himself. 10/10 guys. Nice one! :o)
Haha! The dude holding the camera (can be seen playing guitar in other CM vids) is even more of a "Kempalike" than Mr. F on drums. That's how the Merchants roll, man - every good pissed up drunk collection of middleaged wannabes need a brace of Kemps! RAWK!
Do you (I'm assuming you're the singer anyway, Squemby) sing 'Oh, there goes a panda' at 1.24? If you didn't, it really, really sounds like it haha! No a bad attempt, especially with yous not taking it completely seriously :)

@librariesgaveuspower Yes, yes I do. Ive even got the right words in front of me but insist on singing oh there goes a panda...i feel it gives the song more edge and depth of meaning. Cheers for the comment!

I want this band in my bedroom just before bedtime and it's not because I find them sexually attractive.

For what it's worth I think you guys have done a pretty good cover.
I'm a veteran of 30+ Manics gigs and they do not get every song right all the time.
Anyhoo, excellent effort and well played.

Despite suffering from major mis-heard lyrics syndrome. This is a great cover. Loving the energy.
And can i direct anyone criticizing it for any slight musical mishap to watch the Manics playing it back in the day.
