Manic Street Preachers - She Is Suffering

[oleus23]

surprised people are complaining about this video so much, i love that the Manics have a cheesy 90's video especially from that album, it's almost like an anomaly

[Gloomgal]

Oh Richey you beautiful thing... Great song, not a great edit or clip unfortunately I have to agree.

[jameyinegypt]

Those last line's in the song musically and lyrically are one's that will stay with you forever..

[jameyinegypt]

No thought's to forget when we were children..

[pigriser]

Dreadful edit. How hard is it just to play the song in its entirety?

[Robcatist]

Manics at there best! something tells me the director didnt know what the song was about.

[choclatesaltyballz]

the manics are the most underrated band ever

[technomoo]

one of my fav manics... Beautiful song.

[sherreeist]

Definantely deserves a new video. I had to look up the words to hear because of the recording.

[YukinaTao]

the vid is not bad but could be better

[desiderata]

Richey <3

[jennytot86]

Apparently the video director didn't quite get the lyrics of the song, thinking that She is Suffering was about some woman was that suffering. So the video consists of some women looking miserable :) I like to remember Richey from the Generation Terrorists era- a big beautiful mass of hair, eyeliner and leopardprint, I always thought he looked happy, which made him look more beautiful. On the plus side James looks damn hot in this video :D

[karadcd]

the video is artistic....it s just what the song says..just look and hear it with yr mind....

[qrhasan]

This is My Songs, My James, My Dreams en for My Reality... I Love U James, en I Love u too Manics Street Preacher.. forever !

[pornking007]

dylanfuckkaa so may people argueing in the comments ,maybe you should all try to be a little bit more like rickey and respect each other and maybe try harder to understand each other before abusing and insulting each other,if you could relate totaly to what rchey was writing then in respect for richey maybe you should all try a bit harder to understand each other instead of insults and cockey comments,vival la wales AMEN BROTHER

[ahagestedt]

i remember once listening to this song on my car stereo...and kept hearing that high pitch noise in teh background. thought something was wrong w/ my car...figured it out when i turned off the CD for a few secs. Ah funny manic fan stories...or maybe you had to be there.

[Talldrumr]

M.S.P were a great band but after The Holy Bible album it was over .

[thebobbseytwins]

@Talldrumr

I spit on you!

[Talldrumr]

well that would be very punk of you, kind of like the M.S.P of old....

Happy New Year suka

[LeppardPrintAnimal]

Richey actually has good muscle definition in this video. I think he looks hot.

[kevincarter2020]

he had a sick workout routine

[devilskitchen08]

a lost classic as is revol so much more to them in these days always preffered richey manics

[gomzie666]

Sorry but this video is shite.Doesnt do the song any justice.

[1976Fiat]

I agree, a song this great deserves a much better video

[deadpassive]

Shite yes, but nowhere near their worst ;-)

Oh well, their music more than makes up for it.

[gomzie666]

True that.

But such a utter video compared to such a great song. :/

[ykam32]

You are joking!!! Oh my God i have to tell about this my friends we love MSP - we will be there! Szczecin Rock Festival 2009- here we come!!!

Se ya there!. Rock this world !!!!

[hideman85]

Great! Manic Street Preachers perform during Szczecin Rock Festiwal, 25 June 2009 - Poland

[Noirie93]

Creepy video, mainly because of Richey's presence.

[mentalrevenge]

manics at their best I reckon...this album and that 'trash?-city' performance amazing. it's like clothes::- always at their best just before they self-destruct... saw Nicky Wire in St. Davids couple years ago- he looked happy. the sun was shining.

[Todriveyouinsane]

Look at Richey.

Do you think any person was ever closer to perfection than he was?

[getanerection]

you are sick. seriously. you are.

In this video Richey was ill. just look at him. you can't see anything, but his bones.

If you think it's pretty, find a doctor.

[Todriveyouinsane]

I do not think his mental illnes was pretty, of course not. I mean this in every video, the GT-era ones too. I think he looks great. Not because he was skinny, but because he just looked great. He was extremely intelligent, which makes him more beautiful. You just assume that I like it because he's skinny, which is wrong.

[thebobbseytwins]

@getanerection

Guess I'm calling to make an appointment then...

[XxXcassiechemicalXxX]

I agree completely, getanerection, :/

[borntoend94]

yes.

[guywholikesfood]

Am I the only one who likes this video

[lolatmyfluffydog]

of course not... its amazing =)

[Lovesrichey]

Did anybody else get shivers watching this? I think its the combination of the disturbing imagrey (puppetry etc), james' haunting voice, the morbid setting, beautiful song and most of all, the fact that it Was Richey's last promo video. . .

[ECMuse]

I get shivers watching this too!

[MauryDann73]

This sounds like an evil variation on Every Breath You Take, musicwise.

[street00preacher]

i think some people like this song best because it's more melodic than the others but the lyrics arent as good as faster.

[VanillaLight837]

Nirvana Rules! Manics Sucks Forever! In utero is greatest album than Holy Bible!

[tairanman]

at least the Manics still EXIST!!!

[mungers13]

love this song.

[MANICSGNR]

i reckon this has ONE of the best lyrics from the album. its pretty hard to choose from, considering you have the intense humming of evil, archives of pain, of walking abortion, faster (of course), well basically the whole album!! lol

[00PB01]

archives of pain rules

[EarthLiberationFr0nt]

4REAL

[kamilloquai]

Richey's last video with the band. 4 - REAL

[beethousand]

lol this is the best song on the album

[gaspanda]

i like this is yesterday best

[manolotube666]

Faster is the best...

[Poosaviour93]

4st 7lbs or Yes - by far

[SplitScreenSamba]

I really love Archives of Pain and Yes

[xMadelienex]

this one is the best :)

[clairex0x]

out of all the songs i have seen the manics play live this is the one that sends shivers.

[starsxrockets]

The way Richey looks in this video scares me.

[abbyaddictionx]

I didn't know the video existed until now, and that was the first thing that went through my head. I really like this look on him though, and i hate to admit it. He just looks.. accomplished, in some way. As sickening as it is, he stayed beautiful..

[Switchbldekitten]

Spoken like a true eating disorder.

[tostig360]

Most things about Richey are scary. But wow great lyricist.

[starsxrockets]

Ah, true. :)

[Tiortranew]

On the video I personally think that they had a big idea on it, but failed realizing it. But honestly to date they have not made one really outstanding video - although their music kicks ass.

[indiebot]

"If you tolerate this.." is pretty close to being an outstanding video. I think it´s the fact that they´re all really bad actors that diminishes the effect of their vids.

[Shoes4eva]

i actually disagree, maybe nicky but james in if you tolerate this gives some really powerful looks =] we luv em anyway xxxx

[blackheartedbabe]

my mate is the boy doing the puppet : )

[pythag123]

A lot of Manic vids are like this, weird and distant. I think it comes from their desire not to gain recognition through image but through content.

[cassiuswood]

your having a laugh mate,

they changed there image on pretty much every album they did (the first four a least before they got dull) visual art and music go hand in hand with the manics, along with the lyrics of corse, its just a bland video is all

[cassiuswood]

mesage was actually for pythag123 but im computer ignorant so it ended up here

[Roonilwazlibpotter]

richey subjected us to some of the best songs - lyric wise.

I miss this. Its not the same now.

The manics were such a good band back then.

Not that thier not now, im just not a big fan of the change.

The conversation below really opened my mind to that line too. Thankyou

[didz83]

No thoughts to forget when we were children

This is a classic lyric, i've often thought of its meaning, does it mean that when your a child you dont dwell so much on your ideas or hold them in such esteem or does it describe some sort of longing for the innocence of when you were a kid?

[Noirtora]

Childhood is a popular theme among Edward's lyrics. I suggest it's about being a child and thus being free as you don't know reality(problems) nor yourself nor anything else that could upset you,thus you are completely happy,childhood ends and you are never again as happy as then.

Everytime childhood is mentioned in the lyrics it is always positive: serene,peaceful,nice; in contrast to the "adult world".

Nevertheless,who can tell? this is the way I feel about them.

[didz83]

yeah i think thats a fairly accurate assessment. There's loads of references to childhood and the degrading and destructive nature of the "adult" world on gold against the soul, eg "theres nothing nice in my head, the adult world took it all away". I think everyone has difficulty accepting some of the dead formalities of the constructed world, but they deal with it in different ways, from alcohol to drugs to revolt.

[Noirtora]

It is difficult to make a video for a song with a very obscure and blurred meaning but as fas as I know Richey really added some of his ideas during the Holy Bible era for the videos(not all of them being realised).

I wonder why really all are looking up and stearing into nowhere?

There must be a meaning to this,for sure,it's so striking.

[wiggaroo]

i love the manics, the holy bible is my favourite album and this is one of my favourite songs. surely someone could have directed a video of the same class as the song.

[drcarnage83]

i could've directed a better video than this crap

[Tiortranew]

Prove it.

[DarthCabal]

Oh dear. You can see the veins on Richey's arms.  :/

[DeadEndDolls]

Im gonna have to agree with Nicky on this one, the video is indeed shite beyond belief the only redeeming factor is that it features Richey.

[Staff777]

Incredible song live, turns the crowd so somber. Thanks for uploading this. think they cut out a few bars from album version.

[chrispmc]

yes i agree totally one of their best live. i also think that this video goes well with the song becvause the video also shows such deep meaning and is cryptic as well as the song
