Mansun - Nobody Cares When You're Gone (Documentary)

[@nicks8959]

I still listen to Six a few times a year in its entirety on headphones. Absolutely mind blowing album .

[@jontyscho]

+Nick S me too. played it fully in the car this morning

[@nicks8959]

nice one ;-)

[@bekindrewind9675]

It is still my favourite album of all time.

[@ghinzani1]

Had it on tape in my car on the drive to work for 18 months solid.

[@heaths6644]

Six is my absolute favourite. I adore it from start to finish.

[@TheCeephax]

NME (bastards) and the press destroyed them, but other bands and musicians loved them, I was part of the huge dedicated Mansun fanbase, and always will be. Six is genius, a major a highlight of 90's British guitar rock. Legendary.

NME Destroyed many great bands with their shitics

[@XoXo475]

I loved them more than you mate . So there 😄

[@matthew-thomasplant3542]

Interesting, care to offer some context as to how the magazine which essentially allowed them to exist destroyed them?

[@carolinejs1542]

Such a shame. Great band, great guys, fabulous memories. I miss them, I miss their music.

[@robincadle3403]

Love this band. Love their sound. Still sounds good, 25 years on!

[@anthonynicholas3741]

Forget your Oasis and Blurs it was this band that did it for me in the 90s...real shame they didnt last longer!

[@kevinwilkinson4936]

six is pure art

[@irinaristulescu9151]

Brilliant album. Woke up thinking about Mansun. Absolutely no idea why, hope they are all happy and enjoying life.

[@Luvie1980]

irina ristulescu I have been on a Masun binge for the past 3 days.

[@singleservingfriend4157]

never seen this before. Certainly one of the best bands in the last 20 years

[@CazHbokbok]

Still one of my absolute favourite all time bands. Their music does physical reactions in my body. I just don't know how they do it.

[@kevcatnip7589]

TRIED PAUL DRAPER SOLO?? ITS VERY COOL

[@bernicia-sc2iw]

Mansun are one of those groups everyone forgets about (including me) , which is weird seeing as they had sustained success over five years . Maybe because they never had that huge hit that seared itself into the nations consciousness , or maybe they were overshadowed by other groups with bigger personalities and better press (that era of the late nineties was an incredibly crowded field of great groups) . An underappreciated group.

[@ApriliaRacer14]

A lot of huge Brit bands at that time. They deserved more of the limelight for sure.

[@flashtheoriginal]

Wide Open Space remains a classic. Mansun were a band who should have endured, due to their undoubted talent. The music Press nurtured, championed, lamented then quickly assassinated them

[@blackguardian76th]

Saw them in Bradford back in '98..pretty much at their peak. Six is a beautifully haunting album.

I remember the 98 tour. I'm certain in saying the last band who played at Bradford uni before mansun..... were probably Nirvana.

[@eugenemclemmont4045]

@@ishmael2586 Bad Brains played there in 94, that was a belter. Only band i seen at the uni.

[@crown2town805]

One thing, among several, that I will always love Mansun for is their willingness to gig in out of the way places. Of the 5 times I saw them, three of those venues had the words "corn exchange" in their names! Can't you tell I'm East Anglian;)

[@jpv5139]

This made me smile. 😊 They did gig off the beaten track. Shrewsbury Buttermarket was a belter!

[@tracyraven7444]

Mansun are a band i don't really listen to .. but.. and it's a big but.. they were one of the best live acts I have ever heard.. live they totally blew me away !!!

[@MrMansun95]

incrediable force of nature nothing like them around now !

[@thedaed]

I got into Mansun in the late 90s and have been pining for a band as amazing as them ever since. Their lyrics in Six and Little Kicks really resonated with me. All the greatest bands split up eventually and get replaced with artists who can never live up to their predecessors.

[@Spurfect81]

Six is in my top 5 albums of all time, a masterpiece.

[@sidownes]

Given that the Steve Lamacq interview here with Paul and Chad is from 2006, and they’re clearly on good terms, Paul has changed his story quite significantly since then

[@MrMansun95]

chad had a few things to say this year ! must have been something serious to end their friendship !!

[@EddieG1888]

@@MrMansun95It seems that Paul is a bit of a pathological liar. From the post I saw, Dominic Chad wants absolutely nothing to do with him or the others for the rest of his life. There have been a LOT of dodgy things about Paul Draper that have come out over the past decade or so. He's not a particularly nice guy, it seems.

[@lolip0p]

miss them so much ... :(

[@jamesjordan-davies2704]

Excellent band and a big influence in the bands I formed after 1997, extremely underrated and undervalued by the press at the time, be sure that there are many that love this band and still listen to them now in 2020 x

[@nancyboy7223]

this is depressing i miss them so much

[@Deadleg]

Thanks for the upload, amazing band. Wished I'd have seen them live.

[@sandersfarmvids]

So miss these boys. They were my first ever gig when they did the album launch on the Isle of man (sun). 45 mum's of pure energy, threw guitars down walked off end. Blew me away. They then and trashed the hotel they were in . Legends

[@teaboyuk]

Matthew Sanders that must of been epic! wasn't it a journo only press release gig for AOTGL?

[@sandersfarmvids]

it was epic. they did it in a tiny low ceiling nightclub. it was so sweaty and so loud my ears were ringing for a week afterwards. didn't say a word to the crowd and walked off to a load of guitar distortion after downing their instruments at the end of take it easy chicken. cracking

[@teaboyuk]

Matthew Sanders my first gig was Leicester SU April 97 on the AOTGL tour. same as you, so loud. I didn't hear for a week after in one ear, it was so fucking brutally loud, it was punk as hell. great band.

Love these guys so much. Paul Draper's voice is like experiencing Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel.

[@randomnesspersonified]

You just reminded me of Sistine Chapel Ceiling by Adorable - thanks! Off to listen to that one now!

[@dfstarborn]

Six is the most amazing album I've ever heard and it still sounds fresh today.. Yes, there could have been more amazing singles on there like the 2nd part of Cancer, Television, Special blown it and Being a Girl were all kind of like 2 different songs in one.. Fallout should have been released as a single instead of negative the only song I'm not crazy about on the album. Negative was never a single but they went ahead and released it.. It didn't do that well but it did appear on eastenders for an aids scene. Love Serotonin which reminds me of a Prog Duran Duran.. Didn't like the finished released single edit of Six which I thought they messed up. Being a Girl was a cracking single and the 2nd part was just as good. The Stand out for me was the Fall Out guitar solo the synths on the Cancer part 2. This album was a grower as it didn't hit you immediately and critics are supposed to know this but of course they overlooked this album gave it one listen then threw it in the bin. Of course Mansun didn't play the media like Oasis, Blur and the rest of the trash that was around at that time did so they folded not long after the third album which was ok but a bit pop commercial.

[@libertard6101]

They didnt make it huge cause they were misunderstood and people will always fear what they dont understand

[@Courtneyshole1965]

I absolutely loved them and walked straight past them opened mouthed in Liverpool city centre

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

Imagine if they'd been on a different label, hadn't had to do such gruelling tours or had been better supported on the ones they did, had been given time off after tours instead of being sent straight back into the studio, had not been pressured to do commercial-ish songs (I personally like Fool but listening to it with Paul's comments in mind I can understand why he sees it as one done to please the company) and so on. Then they might still be together. Or if not together, then only just split up. Or that half together, half split up state that bands get into these days when they do solo stuff or work with other bands and get back together every four or five years for another album. They would have changed over time because that was their nature (and especially Paul's songwriting), and they changed massively just in the three albums they did.

[@kevcatnip7589]

ACTUALLY CHAD WANTED PAUL DRAPER OUT ,,,

[@zombie100379]

Steve Lamacq supposedly said he wasn't a fan of mansun and yet does a doc about them - what a clown

[@TheMusicalElitist]

He's a two faced prick.

[@EddieG1888]

Six is an incredible album, still in my absolute top 10 albums. Its a shame that it transpired that Paul Draper pretty much screwed it for everyone, while blaming the rest of the band, management, record company people and pretty anyone he could think of. Dominic Chad detests him now, so there's absolutely zero chance of a Mansun reunion, which is a shame because recent videos of Paul on his "Six" tour are absolutely shocking. He's a complete shell of himself now.

[@Prizzy999]

Funny that Paul didn't mention what he's been claiming in recent years it was the reason behind the band split: Stove stealing from the band's account. Maybe it's because that never happened, and he had the decency not to say that in the documentary. I've been a Mansun fan since '98 but I don't believe a single word Paul's been saying in the last years' interviews when he talks about the dynamics within the band.

[@pobstrel]

Agree. Look at how he treated The Anchoress . And he has been told to stop trying to contact Chad just this year.

[@EddieG1888]

Same. It seems that Paul Draper is not a nice chap at all. For starters he seems to be a pathological liar. He's accused everyone and anyone of the split of the band, and some of the stories he's spun are absolutely ridiculous.

[@bgthtr6404]

I hear a similarity of voice of Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode in Paul Draper.

[@shaunwhitewood7127]

I think paul, all the 4 albums(including clemptomania) were brill, see you you a week on sat mate

[@elainechanallergy]

news from heaven: paul is forming a new band call the anchoress!!! but he's not going to be the vocal...but still!!!

[@MrMansun95]

Beyond sad Chad left the music industry a massive lose

[@TehBuhmDiggeee]

Is the audio misaligned? Shame. Great documentary otherwise.

[@eugenemclemmont4045]

Paul Draper fucked this band up. You can tell he`s the least sincere person in the band. His ego/narcissism and lack of talent. The rest of the band created the sound. Domonic Chad was a brilliant guitarist and without him there wouldn`t be a band.

[@jameskelly8301]

+dianiaguiness i'd love too meet you......

[@ihavetourettesfcksht6130]

Mansun could have been huge if they'd only done what Status Quo had done. Status Quo started of as a very intellectual prog band but soon found out that the public demand more simple songs which is why we saw bands like Oasis and Blur get so much success. Mansun's second album basically saw the end of the band even though they did put out a 3rd studio album. The album sounds so bland because the lead singer was basically hindered from putting out another prog record. Mansun had so many good songs, that they'd often end up as b - sides. The wasted so many goods songs on EPs as they'd often put four extra tracks with the single, even more in some cases. So just two EPs was enough material for an LP or album. Mansun could have easily put out at least five to six more albums worth of material such was the amount of songs they produced. If you listen to Drapers solo albums, it just goes to show that there were even more albums in Mansun worth of quality material. Personally I think the band suffered from dreadful management as the potential was there to be a worldwide success.
