It's funny ! I was thinking the same.But we must tell the people,it's a joke 😊 .I don't think many people ,realized ,what you wanted to say.

Absolutely

what a way to finish the festival, won't ever forget it!

As a drummer of 21 years, I disagree. Actually he is one of the reasons I play drums! I started thanks to This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours. They were the first songs I learned on drums. He is a very solid player! And a lot of their success, even from the early days, is due to his steady beat and, obviously, James' immense talent. But when you start talking about the greatest drummers of all time, people like John Bonham, Neil Peart, Danny Carrey, or the great jazz players, he is just not in that bracket, and I'm sure he would say the same. I don't think he swings at all, which is a big part of being a great drummer. You don't have to be a swing/jazz drummer to swing, you can hear it in players like John Bonham, Ringo Starr, and James Brown's incredible drummers. Even when Danny Carrey plays prog rock he sometimes sounds like he's playing hip-hop, it's just in there, understated. Anyway, he has been core to their success and is a very solid rock drummer!

@@richarddunne9802 I agree , technically there are much better drummers , but as you eluded to , they have been making music togeteher for a long time. When you grow up together making music there is a bond that is so strong that it fits like a glove , it's magical and I think that's what the Manics have.

@@daiwilliams5628 Yeah, exactly. And while Nicky and Richey were quite basic as musicians, in the beginning, James was a powerhouse of a singer and lead guitar player and Sean's tight drumming kept everything together. Like any good musician he plays to his strengths. He knows what he's good at and he does it well! Very well, indeed. His timing is excellent and I don't think I've ever heard him miss a beat. I love his drumming on The Holy Bible too, a lot of interesting little ideas that really fit the vibe of the songs.

@@richarddunne9802 Your opening paragraph effectively mirrors me! I disagree as well. Sean was a great starting point for me and when it came time to move on, I did. He's a pretty dispassionate drummer I feel, so bring on the hate. It's all very simple 2 and 4 and single stroke roll stuff, but he's had his moments. I feel he applied his style the best on THB and JFPL and played his best live drums during the TIMTTMY era. I haven't followed the band since 2010, so haven't heard a great deal since then, but when I check in on live videos (I'll throw this in there) - Sean, has there ever been a drummer who plays so minimalist and yet has such a massive kit? Jeez, got enough crashes up there mate?!

They got a keyboard player because they didn’t want to replace richey :(

So is You Love Us, organ sounds so wrong

Lets not forget they got a song called The Masses Against The Classes to number one back when getting to number one meant something. I think we can deal with some keyboards

True, though in the case of this broadcast and all the rest not overseen by the band, this is the broadcast sound engineer's interpretation of how they should sound.

I've heard a few possible reasons for that. The most reasonable one is that his main white les paul was in need of fixing up and probably wasn't up for doing full gigs with, hence the Sunburst one here. He still needed an acoustic sound for Tolerate (and it was still only him on guitar back then), so he still brought it out for that.

It was awesome wasnt it

No

Yeah I get that too man 👍🏼

I've seen the Manics more than ten times. If Radiohead started playing in my back garden, I'd close the curtains and put a Manics album on full blast. There's no comparison.

I'm sure plenty of people remembered how good it was.

@@gary1961 why does there have to be a comparison, they're both amazing bands in their own right good for different moods

Radiohead played the Saturday night. Manics played Sunday evening before Moby.

gary1961 lol

Totally agree, the sound all mush and such a great vocalist giving everything, and a shxthead sound man mixing his vocals so dry with shite eq, bit of gain on the mic its so low in the mix.. Still you can't stop these guys, still brilliant.. But it would sound so much better with a guy that cares and knows their sound..

It's a shame there was a cut before La Tristesse because they did Little Baby Nothing and Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head (they also did You Love Us at that point), I'm gutted the entire thing isn't up on RUclips

@@pakora81 Got that right! I can’t find the _LBN_ performance anywhere else on RUclips.

Ian Cahill so you’ve just ignored send away the tigers and journal for plague lovers

Both fantastic albums! :)

Yes fuck yes!!!!!!
