Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness (Live from Cardiff Millennium Stadium, 1999)

[@nmd14723]

Back in the good old days when music was real and 480p was king 💓

[@manorbier]

That guitar-riff is legend!

[@krzysztofmilewski4742]

It is. I never saw it mentioned in any "great riffs" lists, but you are right, it's fantastic. JDB is an underrated singer too.

[@manorbier]

Exactly. He's a fantastic singer. Especially on TIMTTMY album.

[@barryboyack8108]

sure there's an interview where James said it came to him in a dream lol.

[@inlakesh555]

@@krzysztofmilewski4742 Agree. But if the riff would get more attention, people would have to cope with the lyrics, the Manics and their sujet

[@Chewy7575]

It absolutely is. It's what makes this my favourite Manics song. JDB should be considered one of the great guitar players. I love his voice too and could listen to him sing and play an acoustic all day long.

[@linovinn7011]

Dear Manic Street Preachers, this song is one of the very best rock songs ever ..... keep on with your music and greetings from Germany from the middle of my heart .... 🙂

[@garymccaffrey6578]

Great band, incredible song.

[@alabala2808]

Simply one of the greatest songs of all time ..

[@richarddunne9802]

That really is an incredible lead guitar performance for a lead singer to fit in around the vocals.

[@tmustafad]

i can't stop but thinking of the audience of this concert.these guys are in their early 20s back then and now they are in their early 40s.oh my gosh.this is the reality of the life that matters.time passes and it does not stop whatsoever. we need to live everyday as if it is the last.

[@Samm-no7pn]

Hi there yes crazy how time goes, i think these guys are in their early 50s now

[@Theremedialgash]

To be fair, my little brother was there at 15 - had to sneak booze in, or the bars were relaxed about ages - he's still 6 years younger than me - but still only 36 - the little shit. x

[@TheMacwilliam24]

I’m one of them, was 22 then, turned 44 two days back, one of the best (sober) nights ever / bars were so busy the missus & I just though Fhk it, drink when we get home later! Immense gig.

[@tmustafad]

@@TheMacwilliam24 cheers bro. It feels so good that we lived in that era.

[@Rockpig1969]

Too true, I'm 51 now. Went to my first of many Glastonbury Festivals in 1992, seen many great bands, Queen, Rolling Stones, AC/DC (in quite a few countries), Lots of Punk gigs in Germany. I prefer how things were, people just getting off on the music and no mobile phone filming. Still life in the old dog yet but struggle finding any bands I actually want to see these days.

Crazy tune absolutely off the fuckin scake. Masterpiece

[@jpr2137]

This song can never be done justice live. The studio version is an absolute animal of a song, seriously powerful. Masterpiece .

[@mariaclaudialiraalban4586]

I think they should play it a little bit slower right? I can't ever get sick of this song...I have to listen to it everyday and it cheers me up every single time

[@stuartlittle4068]

Its fucking brilliant live. Its fucking brilliant on the album. Its fucking brilliant stealth sonic orchestra. Powerful, emotive and timeless.

[@luciealiceeliasova4851]

I forgot how great drummer Sean is!

best live concert ever in the last 30 years...

[@kevinskipp2762]

I was there, but I'd had flu over xmas and was still suffering after effects...dragged myself there from Middlesbrough, but unlike every other Manics gig I went to where I was usually near the front, I was off to the side somewhere way back trying to stay standing. Probably looked stoned or something. Only remember fragments of it really, but glad I went

[@lisamccarthy6969]

I was there....deffo epic ...James is.

[@Anelipot]

Can't help but think they always play this a little too fast when they play it live! Cracking tune though...

[@vexnaex]

Yes it is a bit faster. For that reason i like live version a bit more (but just a little bit)

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

Yes, and it takes away from the song. It's perfection and shouldn't be rushed.

[@ThePled9e]

Still over 5 mins long. Longer than most tunes. Drummer loving life 👌🏼🤙🏻💕

[@youngandrew66]

Seen them a few times. Awesome. However never seem to hear nickys bass. His fingers are moving, heck everythings moving.. just silently

[@danielcrunden5578]
