The album "this is my truth, tell me yours" played a MAJOR PART In me surviving 3 months in a rehab for my heroin addiction and I still treasure the album to this day and I have 4 copies just in case. The reason for my love of it is the song "be natural" which made me want to feel natural again but all the songs Are great. I would have a bath every evening and I had smuggled a Walkman in and would listen to the complete album whilst lying in the water. To me it was a very therapeutic way to adjust my mental set. Thanks for that guys.

[@kenmarkwalsh]

Thanks for writing that

[@adamweston4152]

@@kenmarkwalsh it's a pleasure to receive a nice reply from you, thanks for that.

[@blackradio9]

That's really cool, man.

[@stevenanderson1459]

I feel you, these songs had/have healing power. I particularly love 'rebuild the void with flowers, sad eyed destruction build around sand and sea'. Wow. That helped lead me to a better future, in the same way as 'petrified for the millionth time, slowly my soul evaporates' summed up my then present. For you getting clean, for me coming out, but lives were changed for the better. I love so many other bands and artists and albums and songs but there are only a few albums I could name that have the emotional resonance of TIMTTMY for me. Shivers up the spine territory still...

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

Adam. Mirror image to my story. No water does taste like lemonade.

[@stevenanderson1459]

This album saved a depressed closet case 18 year old back in 1998. Every lyric resonated so much, particularly im not working, the music had such grace, and lyrically Nick was writing about depression from such a different POV, so real, naked, direct. Felt like every nerve ending was exposed, which is how I felt. To the point where ever since I’ve often found it painful to return to these songs. And indeed listening to the reissue 20 years on was pretty overwhelming, and I’m not ashamed to say I cried a lot. Very few albums mean as much to me. What more can I say, I’m so glad they were there. They’ve saved lives these men.

[@jbfk9820]

There isn’t a band like them! Loved them since I was in school, now a father of 2 pushing 40! Still love em now and never miss a tour! Roll on Liverpool Olympia! Stay beautiful!

[@GretatheEvilGremlin]

Probably the most important band in the last 40 years. God bless Richey James Edwards you will always be with us. ❤️

[@godfreyulex1203]

40 years ago they were only 10

[@GretatheEvilGremlin]

Godfrey Ulex I wasn’t using their age as a comparison, bright star!

[@davidhenderson9707]

He probably still is. Watch the latest Richard D Hall Richplanet video “The Tragic Street Preachers”.

[@InParticularNobody]

Richard D Hall is an tin-foil-hat-oxygen-thief-parasite and not fit to be mentioned in the same sentence as Richey.

[@thesoundlikechameleons2082]

Yes, the bloke was full of 💩. Just another politician wanting likes.

[@dmacaulay75]

Even after all these years The Everlasting always brings a tear to my eye.

[@runandraisans6055]

Wherever Richey is alive or dead I’ll hope he’s happy and at peace

[@ZeldaFitz]

Along with Different Class this album is one of the greatest ever made in the past 50 years. Imperial phase manics.

[@timfletchermusic]

One of the greatest bands of all time!

[@raincloud7817]

@Tim Fletcher in my hometown ... maybe in the whole Austria ... this wonderful group is very underrated. I don't know anybody who know them, anyway where I live. - I like them more than 2 decades.

[@issyjas3309]

Easily , the most important of the last 30 years

[@debevie1785]

How reassuring it is that Manic Street Preachers have such a huge fan base!!! People are drawn to the their truth as much as they are their astounding skills as musicians and songwriters. (Don't know bout the fondness for communism briefly mentioned though)Their authenticity is true beauty. How can you not love these guys?!!!! What would we do without them, especially in these dark times! We need them!!!

[@GreenBitterfly]

Why has it taken me so long to realise just how good James Dean Bradfield is as a musician?!

[@sarahsparkscraig]

Quite late to viewing this, but thank you, and thank you for allowing fans to watch it for free. Such a moving and poignant capturing of a unique moment in time of a band that has always been vitally important.

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

The everlasting is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Slightly better than black flowers in the sky. It is a song that never fails to make me want to cry. It's whistful, and whilst I don't know for sure, it must be a kind of requiem for Richey.

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

Be Natural is mine....

[@markpaul120]

JDB Guitar man!!!!What a talented guitarist, very underrated. Great band bloody great band

[@rwffmusic]

This is an astonishing piece of film, like uncovering a time capsule from the past. And that ending... "Perhaps my years years are gone but i wouldn't want them back, not with the fire in me now". Amazing work.

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

"Be Natural".... one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard....

[@issyjas3309]

JDB could put a tune to any lyric, he’s immensely talented and matched to Wires ability it’s just other worldly. Richy Edwards lyrics had some insane quality about them and James always managed to conjure up a riff that sounded like it was born for the words.

[@Lynneheal]

Best Welsh band ever #ManicStreetPreachers .

[@Jonny_Red]

stunning documentary, beautiful backdrops, beautiful music by a beautiful band bringing back memories from 20 years ago, i wanna go back and relive them!

[@acydxtal]

I discovered Manic Street Preachers on 2 January, 2019 and first song I ever listened of them were Kevin Carter, can't describe how beautiful is that song and right now I am listening to The Holy Bible, 4st 7lb... they are truly amazing band!

[@ryanbristow3190]

Wish I'd just discovered them all over again! I'm 22 years of age now and have been listening since my early childhood. My earliest memory being dancing to No Surface All Feeling in my living room! Lucky enough to have seen them twice and will be seeing them for the third time in Liverpool in May! Happy listening my friend x

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

It's ok... I discovered them late too, granted far earlier than you but I can't lie and say I was a fan since "generation terrorist" came out.... I knew about them in 96 with design for life and the like on the radio but only fully appreciated and became a big fan in 2001 when I bought the forever delayed album (like a greatest hits compilation. )

[@KevinKaffy]

I bought EMG album after hearing Kevin Carter...very underrated song..

[@xaviertrilla9636]

Thanks from Barcelona....this city loves you too! Come back soon please!!

[@freddy3713]

anything thats manics is the best.best songs,best videos , best band in the world, gotta love the manics

[@hawkeyefire6208]

A true,honest and original group.

[@lukasdonald1639]

The beauty of this album resonates all the more with this footage - thank you!

[@ciaranmckenna1586]

One of my favourite bands of all time

[@adelaidedupont9017]

"I think he sounds like an angel on this record" ...

[@michellehillyard2682]

A band who have been with me since I was 16. So looking forward to the tour. Thank you Manics and Kieran. The music is still relevant to what's going on now. The young folk need to listen to these greats and not all the crap in the charts now!

[@TheNorthernChris]

Absolutely fantastic. A great insight into my favourite period of one of my favourite bands. Thank you.

[@MarcWickens]

Absolutely loved this. This was the album that got me into the Manics. Rediscovering it with the new release. This documentary contained so many gems. Thank you.

[@stuartarmstrong2745]

Please Ript bye a system that doesn't care

[@adelaidedupont9017]

And the last minute of *Truth and Memory* is fabulous!

[@PooleyX]

This is fucking immense and beautiful. That's all I can say. Thank you for recording and publishing this. It makes me feel so much closer to the band. Oh - and you're a really lovely human.

[@manicapanica1]

Loved this film, listening up close made every tune matter even more. Thanks for sharing!! xx

[@janinemartin7173]

7 mins and counting hands up who's excited!!!!

[@82OllyB]

The best 52 mins of my year so far! Thank you this was great, awesome footage, great insights.

[@2010welshy]

Brilliant!!loved it!! Can’t wait for Cardiff Castle gig now!!!😃💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏻

[@Xirsuyx]

Love from Singapore! Carry on making music guys. You are such an inspiration!

[@woodywheeler1]

Brilliant work kieran. Very happy 👍

[@epictetus9221]

Outstanding work, thank you so much.

[@LouisMinett]

Absolutely wonderful video .. I simply adore this band, they were really the main inspiration that furthered my music at the ripe old age of 17. I decided to learn more and I'm so glad I did but there's still more and even though I may not learn everything about music, I can at least try.

[@scully161280]

Popcorn, sweets and beer....havent got any of them but still waiting patiently for the start!

[@naomiguest6046]

This is absolutely brilliant. So glad to have finally been able to watch 🖤

[@GreenBitterfly]

Just noticed Nicky diving into the bottom layer of the biscuit tin, just nice watching the background in this video.

[@MarcioSilva-ssiillvvaa]

Amazing !! Thank you so much !!

[@zirke]

Thank you!

[@paulrichardson5450]

Great band and another top documentary ;) Ready for drowning what a tune.

[@eldedonterrible7854]

Cheers from Brazil!

[@dearpatsy3802]

such a great piece of art.

[@Aokbiffy]

This is so great ❤️❤️❤️

[@Benjim84]

Great film, loved it x

[@mjpayne899]

Really beautiful, nice work.

[@jazzhands7771]

Thanks for uploading, boys.

[@musiclivemusicvideos]

Beautiful documentary as Manics music.

[@mastersaumik]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

And Sean's mother got me a signed set list for free!

[@hederakete6076]

I love your music!!!!!

[@grocerjack]

A fascinating insight. This was the album that REALLY switched me onto them. I had liked Everything Must Go, but had reached an age where music had gone down the priorities (wife/kids/mortgage/work...life etc) and then I heard Tolerate and wow.....I get the disappointment of the original fans from The Holy Bible (which I also like) but a slight mellowing as you age is inevitable, and acting the angry young men can't go on forever. Life has a way of smoothing off the rough edges. I've loved every album since, including the oddly decried Lifeblood (I love that album). But the band have balls, and they try new stuff and lyrically and musically I think the last 3 albums have been comparable to this one. Long may they continue.

[@berniecrackers2499]

I love Lifeblood, fantastic album and not appreciated

[@anneascari8424]

J'aime beaucoup ce que vous dites. Je suis bien d'accord. I'm French.

[@mcatorr]

we called 'manics' & the great band to me..from south korea

[@LMfromBakutoUK]

Great work 💙

[@Cannon74com]

Yes, yes, yes! Well done guys!

[@andreahenke267]

Great documentary! I still know why I love my welsh hereos!

[@1900Canal]

Maravilloso!!!!

[@kaituttass]

Thank you for trying to be extroverted with your music ❤🫀❤

[@astromanicdave]

Very enjoyable

[@stuggy6077]

Top Person for the upload.TOP TOP Underated Band ever

[@amomiwalkman]

AMAZING, JUST THAT

[@majorrush81]

I haven't heard any bands since the late 90's early 2000's write any truthful, meaningful and thought provoking lyrics. In some ways the Manics predicted the future and where we are headed with their songs. In this consumer, technological driven era, it is slowly killing us more than we realise. We are becoming meaningless and obsolete, we don't speak to each other any more, we shout, we scream. Art mirrors life and we are losing the simple things that make us human.

[@issyjas3309]

That’s an interesting way of looking at it, their body of work is like a time capsule. Looking back, going forward, constant reinvention. Their lyrics have spun me off in so many different directions , I can’t think of another band that gets close to an education.

[@manuelajensen5818]

Great.

[@adelaidedupont9017]

38:08 - this is terrific! Had a feel of the Beatles especially with the guitar. And very introspective and reflective and relatable! #manicstreetpreachers #powerfulchorus at 38:40 .

[@carlosa1121]

Buenísimos !!

[@iawnlad]

Hell yes!

[@matts9250]

The band of the two centuries

[@josedj4444]

Grandesssss

[@androbater9264]

The greatest thing to come from the Sirhowy valley other than Aneurin Bevan. Love from someone whose ancestry lies in Cwmfelinfach and Ynysddu, and on Mynydd Islwyn.

[@ZeldaFitz]

Reminds me very much of the 35mm footage done by the Bunnymen in the Pictures on My Wall video from the 80s.

[@comfortcomes1984]

Love

I am a fan from Malaysia 👍👍👍👍👍

Please tour Australia!

[@paulfahy9101]

Proper !!

[@adelaidedupont9017]

"The Welsh are all good actors" - was that one from Richard Burton I wonder? [remembering the time I read Burton's biography in 1998].

[@rjbride]

Are these MSP documentaries from the 10th anniversary editions? Absolutely brilliant to watch! Kind of annoyed I bought the 20th anniversary editions!

[@shitcasecinema]

Another nicely made film, but there needs to be a definitive Manics 'movie' made, covering everything, from the start to the present, giving every period a fair amount of time and not just focusing on the 94 and 96 years. No Manifesto was good, but I feel something epic can be put together, and should be.

[@ethlenni3281]

Thank you. I'm vertical thanks to you.

[@ZachGWatterson]

Back when Manic Street Preachers were at their highest cultural peak.

[@bibtebo]

Couldn't agree more. The two albums they put out after richeys disapearance were by far their best.

[@anothercosmos7373]

Respekt from morocco

[@hamjaahsan]

Manics fans in Morocco?

[@asgothas]

Great documentary. I'm sooo.. looking forward to the upcoming Cambridge, Birmingham. Leicester and Cardiff Castle gigs. :D

[@adelaidedupont9017]

So *Truth and Memory* - wow. This is definitely worthy of the big screen. #manicstreetpreachers #truthandmemory I don't know if I got into the Manic Street Preachers the first time around [ie the 1990s] but I do know *If you tolerate this your children will be next* from *Smash Hits* or some such place. #coolbrittania

[@AaAa-fb9uv]

💚💋

[@hugofernandez3665]

Pitty there are no subtitles available.

[@adelaidedupont9017]

40:00 - 41:00 - this story is interesting. *Tsunami* and what happened with the girls dying.

[@Thetoon25]

Sorry to ask.... What's the song when they are on train at 35 min mark? I'm racking my brain.

[@KFC_Pyongyang_AssistantManager]

If You Tolerate This I think

[@DellusMaximus]

Is that Nicky doing Love Spreads at around 15:00?

[@alexjames4064]

Yes it is

[@jaystephenswood2170]

I feel that this album when I heard it at 16 just left school was the last time I was truly honest to myself. After that was just bullshit machismo and dishonest braggadocio. Maybe some glimpse of my true self from time to time but I just feel like there's been so many missed opportunities. Beautiful music though. A truly wonderful band. Probably the best that the 90s had to offer.

[@asinthedaysofnoahandlot4632]

Is this a new song?

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

No.

[@adelaidedupont9017]

Ah - *not with the fire in me now* .

[@themrflibbleuk]

I was underwhelmed by this, I just didn't get as much from it as I expected. A lot of it was just stuff from the 20th Anniversary release with scrolling pictures. Excerpts from The Wire were good, but there was too much filler. An enjoyable watch.

[@starlodear2987]

Sturt Cable, another Welshman that drank himself to death, in 2010

[@ZeldaFitz]

This could have been made by Derek Jarman.

[@ColourRiot]

It's great, as is the band, but the fake distortion is a bit of a shame. The opening Ready for Drowning rendition is available in HD quality on the millennium concert DVD. Not sure why they would deliberately reduce the quality of the footage to fit an 'aged' aesthetic like this, and then say in the intro it's the only quality that exists. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kristmundfuchpapes1811]

back when wales was known for more than snooker and brexit sellouts

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

I'm not well acquainted with a lot of their music. I wonder did they ever consider recording or writing in the Welsh language? I know it has had a resurgence in recent decades and a lot of other bands from Wales seem to have embraced their native tongue. Maybe it has to do with where about in Wales you were brought up.
