Manic Street Preachers - Revol (Official Video)

[@biocykle]

That said, James Dean Bradfield is astounding. I can't think of another musician that could have turned the Holy Bible lyrics into such musical masterpieces.

Many years ago I taped this off MTV, accidentally recording over part of a Simpsons episode (specifically the one where Jasper freezes himself). I rewatched it so many times that, to this day, I can't listen to the opening without hearing Homer's voice preceding it on the tape saying "I have frozen myself so that I may live to see the wonders of the future".

[@cynzia_d]

I studied political history at University because of Richey. I spent all Summer of 1997 studying The Holy Bible lyrics. One of the best songwriter ever is Richey James Edwards. working class nero.

[@cynzia_d]

Why are you saying this? I was 17 and loved that teenage angst you call "crap". Richey was more into his own shit than Cobain. But he created very good lyrics full of historical references

[@airslug1]

someone knows their manics! it's easy to do some research on this band and see that Richey and Nicky where the lyric writers early on with James and Sean doing the music...

[@TheContinuingStories]

Richey the greatest poet of the 90’s

[@oiesen2112]

Nero indeed.

[@eddiereal1923]

Respect to you.

[@jupitermoongauge4055]

My buddy Vic studied Political Science at Swansea University at the same time as Richey. Vic took his own life about 20 years ago.

[@Mrsomewhatevil]

Awesome, nobody write lyrics like Richey.

This makes me happy.

To think that this meisterwerk Album came out the same day as "Definitely Maybe" is astonishing. Its like comparing James Joyce's "Ulysses with a copy of The Beano!!!!

[@HerFatherDidntLikeMe]

Most likely the most thought provoking album I ever bought. Intelligent, insightful, lyrics paired with incredible riffs and music.

[@KevinKaffy]

I never knew this. But sorry Definitely maybe has so many tunes that are really cool and always love hearing them more than the overplayed morning glory tunes. But yes for me Manics are head and shoulders above every other musician/band

[@ElJuanSolo]

Wish they sounded like this still. Grown tired of their Euro-Pop

Great tune. Especially love the Mary Portas look that Nicky is sporting in this vid.

[@pov_music]

The first verse is practically a soundtrack to my AS History!

[@TartanArmyDcfc]

I've grown up listening to Manics since I was born (in 1994 so I never saw them at their peak but my Dad has always loved them) and I've seen them live twice in Wolverhampton in 2011 and 2013, yet every time I listen to them they get better and better. I've never known a band to command such passion and fury so articulately. They are fucking heroes.

[@theenglishman3368]

I love the fact that The Holy Bible by Manics and Pauls Boutique by The Beastie Boys did badly when released - they are both works of absolute genius - people weren't ready for them

[@angelanicoletti3330]

Thank you Manics.

[@SeanMR72]

Maybe my favourite music video ever

[@AvaToyShow]

The first verse seems to be about the development and then failure of a person, the second verse about the start and end of a romantic relationship. The Fascist chorus part also seems like a journey from start to ending in failure too.

[@emeraldcelestial1058]

@Shah Tafiq it's specifically invoking fascist sloganeering as parody and warning

[@emeraldcelestial1058]

[@shiftybat7318]

It is kind of amazing this album had any radio singles because it is so justifiably Angry and articulate. That biz would never fly in the U.S. but the 90's were such a special time for being pissed off because the same pre-Internet people were taking notes. Manics were the Keats to Smashing Pumpkins' more digestible Dr. Seuss but the message was the same - if you feel trapped or cut off, Know Your Enemy and shine a light on their misdirection. The Ramones' Censorshit was another fine example.

[@kin31130207]

As a 'Trotskyist' (for what little that term might be worth in 2022, 30+ years after the collapse of the USSR....), I do think the line "Trotsky: honeymoon...." is quite funny.

FILA FILA means RUN, RUN

[@jackmcgregor1983]

What a song. Revol, a call for action, a paean for a lost partner. An angry scream into the black cavern, the last days of all the hell, war, famine and political upheaval of the 20th century……..Raus, raus, fila, fila; out, out, run run.

[@secallen]

Fila Fila is Italian. The other three words (Lebensraum, Kulturkampf, Raus) are German

[@SMoggyinski]

Or it could be Spanish? In both languages I think it means queue/line, or possibly "line up"? I've never actually been able to work it out, in this context :-/

[@savagedetecitve]

At the very end of the song (@ around 2:49), he says something before Revol. Does anyone know? thanks!

[@mruncommon1]

I dare someone to do that. Call all their essays after the songs. See if anyone notices.

If Richey was with them, they might not have gone to Cuba. What kind of people have been targeting Russia since the time of Napoleon?

[@cochayuyo1084]

Nah, don't forget that Richey was a Marxist

[@violetsky711]

I suppose it’s not surprising that angry working-class youth would be influenced by Marxism, but was Richey really that naive? And I don’t think they could have played this song in front of Castro.

[@TheSweetMandJ]

Not the best on this album (imho) but a killer tune and amazing set of lyrics. Just goes to show the standard set by The Holy Bible
