Absolutely dripping with atmosphere and menace. Love it! Quite incredible just how much they managed to transform the entire sound and feel of the track from its almost jolly original into something so dark and brooding, but it really works, and definitely a highlight of the album.
I do find Horace's voice and the overall performance much better than the original. Massive Attack does bring that thing which no other artist/band can.
Discovered both MA and Dr Alimantado separately and boy am I glad to have heard both versions of this song, because they both sound so damned amazing. Can't pick a favourite!
@steffa2012 Your right on the money with the John Holt cover. I believe it was Horace Andy's suggestion to Massive that they cover it. Massive Attack have got in trouble before for using unapproved samples in their music. The most well known case being Manfred Mann sueing them over using a sample from his song "Tribute" in their own song "Black Milk" which appears on Mezzanine.
This version produced by King tubby is also very interesting:Horace Andy & John Holt - Quiet Place extended with King Tubbys Dub - 10 INCH Trojan Records 1975.
People are bitchin about him being 'out of tune'- considering it's live and not the easiest song to sing, i think he did a fine job. Like to see the critics even come CLOSE to that
But the original singer in the classic is John Holt...¿True?...I prefer the original song,though also the U Roy's version...Anyhow,always is nice to hear the Horace Andy 's voice.
@3amsleep Ha! I don't remember writing that. This band is OK but I don't think they deserve to be considered legendary or ground breaking. Dub Is A Weapon is a better dub band.. their arrangements more imaginative..
@hirofan i don't like Rush, but i don't think they suck. i don't like Mozart, but i don't think he sucks. i don't like bob marley, but i don't think he sucks. You must've been high to suggest massive attack sucks.
@py1000 It makes me realize that they are becoming a kind of politically correct dictator thinking they have the right to decide for people what is good or bad to listen to. I'm getting hungrier and hungrier at them each day a little bit more,,, most of my favorite song are gone !,,,, And why ?,,, No further explanation !... but, see, I(m still here !,,,,,
Horace is my main man.. Sleepy.. But I don't like Massive Attack.. they ruin all his songs. I am thankful that they introduced Horace to the younger generation but as a band they suck..
this is the most sinister bassline in history
Baseline
@@Darrenskimmh no
@Darrenski bassline
Love his vibrato!
Kinda viberato even XD
Amazing characteristic voice Horace Andy has.
Powerful minimal performance.
i'm in love with this band, song, singer. fucking awesome
just commenting to share that Man Next Door was my most played song of 2024. love MA
I love this song!!
me too!!
So beautiful so good, it feeds my soul
Absolutely dripping with atmosphere and menace. Love it! Quite incredible just how much they managed to transform the entire sound and feel of the track from its almost jolly original into something so dark and brooding, but it really works, and definitely a highlight of the album.
I bump this every day i go to work
My very favourite song from Massive Attack !
@bensley56
This is a song originally performed by The Paragons. It was written by John Holt in the 1960s.
I do find Horace's voice and the overall performance much better than the original. Massive Attack does bring that thing which no other artist/band can.
this is perfection
Im really addict to this song and this version. Sobre todo una madrugada de Enero.
My favorite song !
Flawless.
Ugh so amazing! Massive + Horace = Heaven.

Sensacional essa versão do Massive Attack 🌹🩵🇧🇷

the best music I've ever heard.
Gracias. Excelente versión.
gorgeous song
Beautiful
одна из лучших песен масивов
my favorite song too!!
Amazing.
The drums and bass set the groove to this intoxicating song.
what a simple text, but what a catchy song
I prefer the Dennis Brown version, but Horace's voice is one of a kind. Love him!
OUTSTANDING!
Kind of want to hear him doing Banned in DC
This is great!
hermoso
@bensley56
No.
In the liner notes, it always says 'music and lyrics by massive attack'
This might sound a bit random, but does anybody know what hi hats their drummer uses? They're so clean I love them.
mr bass and horace andy respect from mexico
massivedope zomby
My fav version
This version produced by King tubby is also very interesting:Horace Andy & John Holt - Quiet Place extended with King Tubbys Dub - 10 INCH Trojan Records 1975.

AMAZING O_O
Genius this' proper industrial sounding beat and backing track with that deep bass
Bet it sounded massive live
maravilha, bravissima.
true :)
He sings it like '...take my familee- ee- ee- ee ' on the studio track.
Hear Hear py1000! Im with you on that one
Horaceeeee Andyyy!!
Solo loro questa atmo
2024?
Olá 🌹🩵🇧🇷
* Great *
Horace legend BOOM
gut gemacht
fucking timeless
horace andy is amazing
@py1000 Yeah but the quality's not that great though is it?
This voice....
All this time I thought he was singing "Fussing Fart"not "Fuss and Fight" Lol!!😄
holy shit me too
Then you have an infantile mind and a poor grasp on common sense
coll bass at 1:28
que chimba Horace!
do massive attack write all the lyrics? or do the featured singers write their own?
So funny voice)
you've 100% right lol :D nice said :D
mean moody and magnificent...man next door sound good whoever plat it from the slits to horace andy to whoever......
SINGER IS HORACY ANDY
you must be new to Massive Attack
But the original singer in the classic is John Holt...¿True?...I prefer the original song,though also the U Roy's version...Anyhow,always is nice to hear the Horace Andy 's voice.
@hirofan
Rofl. Obviously you haven't listened to all of Mezzanine, one of the greatest albums ever created.
@thegiannimerda fucken eh. i thought it was
@hirofan massive attack is not a dub band =),
massive attack covers The Slits
I know it's Jamaican reggae at first, and black, but I thought it had a North to Centre West African sound, on the recording. Sort of Mali not Marley.
Black? Stop, man. Music cannot be quantified by goofy social constructs. Sound is Universal, & MEANT to be so
genius.com/artists/John-holt, was the composer of
the lyrics
Долой Штолле!
true.. but I think I prefer Massive Attack's version. Still
@3amsleep
Ha! I don't remember writing that.
This band is OK but I don't think they
deserve to be considered legendary or
ground breaking. Dub Is A Weapon is
a better dub band.. their arrangements
more imaginative..
not bad actually
五木ひろしに聞こえる
covers? massive attack covers who?
....it´s music....thks to DENNIS BROWN !!!!
@hirofan i don't like Rush, but i don't think they suck. i don't like Mozart, but i don't think he sucks. i don't like bob marley, but i don't think he sucks.
You must've been high to suggest massive attack sucks.

Good tune but he is singing out of tune.
the Drummer looks like a tiny man at 1.06
а поет как баба
Убийственная вещь.
Impresive but original Paragons, John Holt,Dennis Brown,Horace Andy.. reggae versions are better
th-cam.com/video/OxWHo5fHiTI/w-d-xo.html
He sounds like he should look like a skinny little white guy..the guitarist looks like a Ghostbuster...I love this band anyways
Good God I hate his voice.
Horace is my main man.. Sleepy..
But I don't like Massive Attack.. they ruin all
his songs. I am thankful that they introduced
Horace to the younger generation but as a band
they suck..
This is terrible
But the original is nice 😎
i'm in love with this band, song, singer. fucking awesome
Corina Germino Horace Andy. He has great roots reggae albums. Including the original version of this song. :)
