- Manic Street Preachers emerged at the dawn of the 1990s as a fiery rebuke of the placid state of British indie rock, a scene that grew to favor the swirling solipsism of shoegaze and the neo-psychedelia of acid house. Inspired by the provocative punk of and the heavy glam of , the Manics wedded leftist politics with arena-filling guitar riffs, a combination that made them irresistible to the British rock press of the '90s. The group's rise ran parallel to the ascendency of Brit-pop but just when they were at the cusp of stardom, lyricist/guitarist Richey James disappeared after the release of their early masterwork The Holy Bible. The trio of , and Sean Moore regrouped to deliver Everything Must Go, a 1996 album where they unveiled a subdued, mature sound that suited a set of songs where they came to terms with their loss. Everything Must Go eclipsed the group's three previous albums, a success consolidated by its 1998 sequel This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours, the pair of records that established the group as a U.K. rock institution. From that point forward, Manic Street Preachers adhered to the template established in the late '90s -- big music delivered passionately -- while also refusing to abandon the political principles they established at the start of their career. The combination helped the Manics retain a fervent following: in 2021, The Ultra Vivid Lament became their first album in 23 years to top the U.K. charts.
What a rocking performance
Looks like a great night … I saw them last wkend at Cardiff castle … they were amazing . Such a humble down to earth band 🏴… Hope u had an amazing night… I bet it was stunning in Edinburgh castle 🏴 🎸
Yeah great night and they fitted in as many songs as possible but not wasting much time with chat between songs. Miraculously the rain stayed off for the entire gig. Suede were good as well.
Great night. Unfortunately I went to bar just as this came on. Gutted they normally do it at end. My wife said abertillery miners were on the video screen which I missed too. My grandads old pit many years ago. 😊
@@MyTing775 Oh no , yes they did have the miners on this vid , coal not dole … my husband was talking of his gransha he was a miner also and saying how he could remember as a little boy his grandparents struggling like all miners in the strike . We went up to Abertillery to the big pit museum … I think all miners ( your grandad too ) were hero’s! when you see what they did daily💪🏼. So glad you had a great night . 🎉
@@NMFB-13 They had very tough lives but in some ways very fulfilling . Great communities and things. Ime taking my 2 teenage boys to the pit museum in holidays to get some culture in them. We live in Worcester so they don't know a lot about there history. They like the Manics too tho. 😁
