A monumental masterpiece.
I chatted to the drummer in 2020 on Facebook messenger! Great bloke.
The Manics' lineup has only ever changed three times: Back in their early days as a trio they added a bass player who didn't stay on for too long, but then as a trio again, added Richey Edwards as a rhythm guitarist and co-lyricist who made significant contributions to the band and stayed on until early 1995 when he disappeared and has never been seen since. In 1996 the band, now a trio again, came back with "A Design For Life" and has been that way since.
What's the problem with the line "So if I can shoot rabbits/Then I can shoot fascists"?
The song is about the Spanish Civil War and against fascism. Because in Spain we say "el fascismo no se debate, se le combate": Fascism is not debatable, it is fought.
The song title is taken from a poster of the Republican band with the corpse of a child in Madrid and behind him the Nazi planes in the sky.
The title of the song is taken from a poster of the Republican side with the corpse of a child in Madrid and behind it the Nazi planes in the sky. Don't look the other way when there is injustice in the world, as today in so many places (Ukraine, the Zionist genocide, the rise of the ultra-right, etc), act or tomorrow it will be too late.
Listen to either "australia" or "from depair to where" next
The song title is taken from a Republican propaganda poster by the rebels who fought against the fascist dictator Franco in the 1930s. The songwriter was impressed with the bravery of these volunteers who fought in the Spanish civil war to protect the future of their children and doubts he could have the same courage(gravity keeps my head down or is it maybe shame). In a way it’s about modern day apathy to societal problems as opposed to the idealism and courage of past generations.
“Faster” is another really great tune you should check out. It’s punkier but the music is awesome.
Many other great tunes also though
Revol
Kevin Carter
Everything must go
Tsunami
You stole the sun from my heart
So why so sad
Let Robeson sing
Glasnost
It’s not war just the end of love
Some kind of nothingness
Door to the river
People give in
Orwellian
Complicated Illusions
etc…
Their great b-sides would be another long list but you get the idea.
They explore a lot of different styles of music so I would recommend checking out their entire back catalogue. I personally was not into their first album but Motorcycle Emptiness was exceptionally good of course
I don't know who censored it but... it's been censored. "So if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists" and the whole point of the song "But we'll forget it all again" has beed removed. Nah, I wont be back...👎
I just watched the music video on RUclips so they must have censored something, I have cut my reaction up a little as there was copyright issues thats why it may jump parts of the song
You should listen to everything must go (song) or the love of Richard Nixon by manic street preachers, both tunes
My reaction to "Everything Must Go" is out now!
That's kind of the message. It was about Welsh farmers being sold on the reason to fight in the Spanish Civil War as if the fascist won then the farmer's kids could be next.
Shame the best line was cut out, not sure if that was you .. or youtube ... made it a bit awkward to listen to when the song is continually cut like it is. I'd suggest if its your editing you should really do the whole song rather than this sudden cut that occurs all the time that almost seems like youre trying to race through the song and get it out the way. I dont think you are going to get copyrighted strike over it considering there are other reviews of the song that have the full version.
I try and keep the whole song in but RUclips blocks the video from being seen so this is the compromise I make
@@KasperReacts No worries, I just personally find it annoying, but I get that you have to dodge the strikes on YT.
You should do mausoleum off the holy bible imho the best manics album
