Manic Street Preachers Umbrella (Acoustic Version)

[jczik]

As great as this cover is and as much as like Manic Street Preachers, I think they really lost their extremely punk attitude. Listen to Your Love Alone Is Not Enough and then listen to Yes. Huge difference.

[simoneburton]

Gives me the chills every time.

[wardy0712]

this guy could make chirpy chirpy cheep cheep sound like the best song ever what he does with that guitar is just amazing

[Dannyton1971]

miles better than Rhianna's original version. Should have Faceboked this one for the Anti x-Factor Christmas number one.

[BlondeRocknRoll]

oh my f** god, thank you JDB, this sounds bloody amazin, perfect for a cold long sunday !!!!

[MrRockett24]

Finally...a version with some FUCKING HEART!!!!!!

[Robcatist]

james is a very talented man, very firm to the point of handcrushing handshake!

[cvsawant]

AWESOME!!!!!

[dangerousmelia]

One of the most under-rated bands in the world!

[TheKurgan]

One of several JDB covers that are actually better than the originals. Class.

[nkoravos]

not the best curves in the business, but such a great romantic voice!

[bikiper]

@nkoravos the sexiest most beautiful man alive

[mentalackack]

JDB, the man who can sing anything.

A great voice and guitarist.

A legend I am proud to say I have seen live many times.

[bouriquet1973]

encore mieux en acoustique ;-)))

[tk124get]

beautiful.....anybody know these chords??

[cujocommander]

wow how freakin awesome is this

[Plaguehead]

I like

[DelbyC]

this is probably the best cross-genre cover i have ever heard, ever! which makes me wonder why the manics have not been a huge hit here in america, i just do not get it? i think people just laugh at what is popular in the states, i know i do!

[nukem11]

It makes me wonder as well. I thought the holy bible album did quite well out there. there music's more indie but there last album was quite rocky. Not sure they ever tried to break America or if they ever cared though but there music is really good.

[yagojam]

fantasticos,larga vida para msp

[hyllaf]

after kurt, jdb and co are the best ever. i dont care what anyone says.

[thebobbseytwins]

@hyllaf

Manics do not stand in line behind anyone!

[reetarted]

[wellmellgell]

[JamesMaysHair]

So you CAN polish a turd after all!

[Manicstoive]

[poinsy]

@JamesMaysHair  :) Very apt.

[PhoenixTheKnight]

@JamesMaysHair he's a fuckinggenius is why

[myprettypie]

@JamesMaysHair It just shows how great the manics are if they can polish this one into an absolute gem :)

[Partoftheratpack]

Awesome

[TopRobbo1970]

So much more beautiful than the rather cheesy original. JDB's voice gives this so much power and meaning.

[appleraspberry]

wow. right up there with the other covers done....

[poinsy]

Wow, this is awesome, so much better than the original and their own echoey-plugged-in version.

It is a great song anyway, the best I have heard in years, save for a couple of Foo Fighters songs, and this acoustic version is the business.

Paul

maybe james did the acoustic first, and then copied the recording into the electrical, has anyone heard the instrumental manics umbrella, it is sweeeeeeet...

[Staff777]

[Staff777]

please tell me they didnt just copy the vocals from the 'full' version and paste it on a acoustic... i cant tell the difference..

[SappySuperunknown10]
