Manic street preachers -- New art riot

[SeriouslyRandom20]

21 years today New art Riot was released :D

[SoulstylistJukebox]

Haven't heard this in ages. Thanks!

[BPCpresents]

more like... OLD ROPE TANTRUM 

[SentinelGiga]

"Hospital closures kill more than car bombs ever will"

To this day, it's my favourite line of theirs.

[XserbarusX]

I think this is one of their most under rated songs and right up there with Motorcycle Emptiness, You Love Us, Motown Junk and the original versions of Repeat and Stay Beautiful.

[LeppardPrintAnimal]

Can't believe this was nearly 20 years ago, makes me feel old!

[wandamolko]

this reminds me of jumping around my bedroom with my best mate thinking we were the female Nicky and Richey -17years ago!!!!!

[fragilewalrus]

Fuck me, where has this been all my life? What a tune

[aprodigy4]

so good.

[BejnXander]

Pure brilliance

[ASININIUS55]

[ASININIUS55]

[daryl4classic]

[Idol2Idol]

can ye send it to me please?

[ASININIUS55]

yeah i can try

[Idol2Idol]

that would be great thanks very much

[ASININIUS55]

yeah ok

[AManicPreacher]

This song has some of the most truth-filled lyrics the Manics have ever written. The fact that it's spelled out so plainly just makes it more in-your-face, which I appreciate.

[joshyboi1991]

if anyone has this on mp3, it'd be much appreciated if you could send it me?

get in touch lol!

[Muzikhead993]

same for me.....you can buy it on itunes i think

[darlingcitrus]

yeah that..

[darlingcitrus]

they have the ep on itunes

[LEBOBSKI25]

FUCK THE NEW WORLD ORDER

[hoyungtom]

chinese mean 狂街傳教士 ... YA Rock on

[brodftw]

Cheers for the video. Don't think this is a very good song to be honest, they had to grow up a lot even by the time of their first album by the sounds of it. The lyrics are fine but as others have said, James used to be shit at singing, and other than that it's just an average punk rock song.

[TheoStenner]

can't help but love this goodness

[xManicKatx]

Mmmhmm.. because Seanus (erm..Sean) is superior!!

lol, gotta love that adorable Sean <3

[didz83]

haha, yeah that wouldve been a good stunt if richey had committed self immolation and flung himself in the direction of prince philip!

Ceremonial Rape Machine, i love that title.

[didz83]

what you mean before nicky was likely to try and break in and start hoovering the miles and miles of carpets?

[Bryanrobsonsliver]

This is far far better than anything they did after Richie vanished.

[drepmore]

Yes including that tuneless Design For Life and Tolerate This trash.

[stewux]

Don't totally agree, the two tracks you mentioned are still angry tunes lyrically, just channeled in a different style. Also I think the ' know your enemy ' album had flashes of the old style manics as well. Don't get me wrong, love this era of their music too but I wouldn't say it's better. Of course, Holy Bible will always be tops for me!

[drepmore]

Sarcasm doesn't come across well on the Internet I'm afraid!

[pcoll04]

@Bryanrobsonsliver

except it plainly isn't.

[Bryanrobsonsliver]

@pcoll04 Well the point is a subjective one I admit and if you prefer the bland AOR tosh churned out just to make money is better than the raw and emotive brilliance they did as a young band then that is your business and if that is the case might I point out there are some excellent Bon Jovi videos here on youtube that might be right up your street.

[pcoll04]

@Bryanrobsonsliver save it will ya.

[happyman64issocool]

@Bryanrobsonsliver , personally i think this is a little crap, and that songs like no surface all feeling are a million times better than this kinda faux clash sound. and its Richey not Richie

[fuckamericanidiot]

@happyman64issocool they were so young, cut them some slack, these are good lyrics too

[happyman64issocool]

@fuckamericanidiot true but saying this is better than a design for life is stupid. Don't get me wrong I love Suicide Alley, Strip it Down and Dead Yankee Drawl, but this isn't a great song. And every manics song has good lyrics ;)

[fuckamericanidiot]

@happyman64issocool who said this is better than design for life? i didn't, and no not every manics song has great lyrics

[DANNY200000000000000]

wow james's singing used to suck, how did he get so good?!

[Chameleon102]

He got a voice coach, he's mentioned somewhere in Everything (the book).

His voice really has matured, but it's worth noting that at this time he considered himself a guitarist who had to sing as there was no-one else!

[fromdespair2where]

Your welcome!

[MrLoggster]

@fromdespair2where Thanks for posting this mate. I've loved that Manics since Gold against the Soul ☺ I managed to get a copy of this on Vinyl. Only played it once!
