I was looking for the karaoke version, but still amazing JDB! I remember buying this on tape as a poor student because I didn't have a record player. One of my best ever music purchases..."Bored out of my mind" on the reverse...I played it endlessly
yeah it's 1993. james is wearing all black + the hat he used to wear during the GATS era, i.e. mid-to-late 1993. in fact, he's dressed like this in one of the photos in the GATS sleeve.
I remember seeing this on MTV2 years ago, was the first time i'd heard it when I was getting into the Manics and I thought this sounded brilliant. Really good live performance. Eringa on keyboards is great too. Love James' hat!!!!
I suspect the voice coaching a few years after this was more about preserving the longevity of his voice. I like his voice here but I'm not sure he'd still be singing if he kept it up.
Still...if you wanted to stop this being an amazing song you'd have to drop the piano on JDB's head! Increadable song. I love the riffs in the noisy electric version...but this is still ace.
@robbiebabysham Thanks, that seems like it - i think i spotted JDB a few times playing an A up at the 2nd fret by barring across the three strings. That'll do for me.
Theres an acoustic version of this by Pete doherty on you tube I don't know of its really him it sounds like a toddler with the clangers as a backing group
great version =) i like this acoustic better than the original. I prefer it played by a cover band of a friend of mine, Cauda de Tesoura, it's magical! if i record it i'll put it here for you to hear =)
Anyone know the chords he is playing? Tabs i have seen seem to suggest E, B, C#m and A, but that doesnt look like the chords he is playing here. Great vid by the way, a shame there are so few acoustic MSP videos.
Yeah piano's fine for me. If I was going to be critical, Id probably say the attack was a bit harsh and maybe it would sounded better playing arpeggios. If anything I have more of a problem with JDB forgetting the lyrics
not his best performance, I think James has improved with age, can't always get all the notes, but s'pose it depends on on lots of things? wish I could sing play and write just half as well.
This recording is an undiscovered gem. A classic recording of one of their best ever tracks.
seems reasonably discovered to me
this is just the very definition of perfect. Not even joking. Stops me dying of boredom at college every day.
How you doing now
Me too:)
Since decades I listen and love this song. Just Wow!
the song that should of been a worldwide smash...

I love the couplet in the chorus "under neon loneliness..motorcycle emptiness" it. It's really evocative IMHO.
How come i've just discovered this, oh my!
"Culture sucks down words, itemise de de" not quite sure that was the correct lyric James. Haha great stuff
itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles - amazing song - just saw them at latitude couple of weeks ago, the boys were fantastic
Only james can put his voice to this
That was totally SICKENINGLY AWESOME!!! KILLED ME!
theres something other worldly about how good this is. miles away from regular "music"
What a nice version...reminds me many things...

Beautiful ❤
Back in the day
MTV did an unplugged
I think The Manics were Most Wanted
This is the closest we will get . Jdb and Nicky were on too and did 4st 7lbs acoustically , amazing
Classic 🎉Fantastic 💚
I remember this been on TV abotu 10 years ago and it was the first time I'd heard it, I loved it. Still got it on VHS actually :D Manics rule!!
i just have two things to say : Like n Replay !!
James can sing what he want, he's well known for switching about lyrics on live performances
Amazing how changing tone slightly can enhance a song, this is brilliant 😃 I liked the song before but this version is top
Stand back Genius at work
great version
love the song and the hat! :P
wow! amazing!
I'm surprised to see this performance getting a bit of stick. This is what got me into the manics 🙈
Brilliant love it
all we want from you are the kicks you gave us
This truly is a great version of an awesome manics song frm a fellow Welshman ^_^. Nice one JDB
it's back - thank the frigging lord.
I suspect the voice coaching a few years after this was more about preserving the longevity of his voice. I like his voice here but I'm not sure he'd still be singing if he kept it up.
James went Freddie Mercury in some parts, I agree with you I'm glad he's kept his voice
this is a great video
i like this music, good luck from foggy and moondragon and all on the mothership
Still...if you wanted to stop this being an amazing song you'd have to drop the piano on JDB's head!
Increadable song.

@1979JBean i think hes playing the E and B as barre chords up at the 7th fret , the c#m on the 4th not sure about the A though :O
Theres an acoustic version of this by Pete doherty on you tube I don't know of its really him it sounds like a toddler with the clangers as a backing group
beautiful voice for james dean here, yummy
@1979JBean Almost, the "B" chord is actually E/D# - X 6 9 9 9 X - low to high
great version =) i like this acoustic better than the original. I prefer it played by a cover band of a friend of mine, Cauda de Tesoura, it's magical! if i record it i'll put it here for you to hear =)
The pianist seems to slowing the tempo. She should take James' lead more
Anyone know the chords he is playing? Tabs i have seen seem to suggest E, B, C#m and A, but that doesnt look like the chords he is playing here. Great vid by the way, a shame there are so few acoustic MSP videos.
Piano sounds like it's being played with grandad's slippers.
Yeah piano's fine for me. If I was going to be critical, Id probably say the attack was a bit harsh and maybe it would sounded better playing arpeggios. If anything I have more of a problem with JDB forgetting the lyrics
@phuckybumbooboo itmise loving
I think he sings organised loathing but i could be wrong
tragoudara....po po...>:):):)
I agree.. Nice!
Just replying coz I saw your comment is 15 years old. Wondered if you’re still around?
@@TC_83 Ha, yeah. I guess so
I was thinking the same thing. He doesn't sing near as well now as he did then.
just that...
nice the guy really looks like bob
Maybe its Davina Eringa :P
nice
its not loathing? what does he say?x
it is itemise loathing.
what happend to James's voice??
Who's playing the piano? Anybody know?
Dave "David" Eringa.
@adamskieagle It's itemise loving but god knows what he says here
Acoustic these days seems to mean 'no drums'
piano is ok for me
swah
hmmm... it just needs those guitar riffs in there
not his best performance, I think James has improved with age, can't always get all the notes, but s'pose it depends on on lots of things? wish I could sing play and write just half as well.
apart from the first line everything was perfect!
Not one note he couldnt get....tired of this people who thinks they know about music
@djsunsunboy : It is isn't it...far too obvious and clunky...
dove cazzo sei richey???
jóó szrtem Ł
my god....where the f**k is gone his voice???
Terrible.
Piano seems off. That, and the guitar solo of the original recording was half the fun of the song!
fucking awful piano :(
lol the piano playing is truly awful!
What happened to his voice? He sounds nowhere near as good now.
