Always thought this song was one of the best from that decade.

[@vaughanie23]

And little did we know this was the pinnacle of everything

[@danim.4549]

Their album SIX is necessary for.human life

[@vaughanie23]

It's literally the only reason aliens haven't annihilated us

[@sallycinnamon795]

I listen to a lot of 80s music /90s brit pop. It was such a brilliant time to be young. Music meant so much to us. Makes me sad how kids these days will never have that shared passion that my generation had, and still has for music. They don't seem to care as much.

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Music was everything for due! Would spend hours (all day) in record and cd shops.

[@musicsaves97]

I miss the communal passion that we all had for this music.

[@Ververeid]

I miss Mansun so much. Hope Paul Draper brings out an album soon. He has such a great voice! 1 of my fav tracks was 'Disgusting'. Any1 else like that 1?

[@looking4ferdy]

Ververeid Disgusting is a fantastic tune. I bet you're pretty happy with the news of Paul's new solo album, eh? It's Fantastic. 😁😁

[@looking4ferdy]

Ververeid yep Disgusting is awesome. Can't wait for his tour. 😁😁

[@boris1387]

Love Andys playing👌👍🏻

[@markparker3375]

We were in this studio for THIS performance. Going quietly nuts with the jumping! BATV 96-99

[@XoXo475]

This was the first time i ever saw them, on TFI . Hooked from then on. The voice did it for me.

[@robjones2408]

How the hell can a vocalist this impressive disappear off the map ? Mansun were one of the great lost bands, yet they completely vanished. Paul Draper was up there with the late Billy Mackenzie for sheer vocal gymnastics. I hope he returns, nobody with that kind of talent can remain silent forever.

[@looking4ferdy]

Rob Jones I saw him live last month. His new solo album is fantastic!😊😊

[@RugbyGuide]

Also appears on a track with The Anchoress ... "You and Only You"

[@chrisMsimon]

The Attack Of The Grey Lantern, Mansun's debut album, CHANGED MY LIFE. Every epic track and concept was genius and still is in 2009 and 3009 and beyond. Its like a great Classical Piece. End of story!

[@PikaStu666]

I foolishly dismissed this song when I first saw the video on CH4 way back. Then I saw Mansun supporting Suede on the Coming Up tour and they blew me away! Grey Lantern is a classic album and Mansun were epic live!

[@ahmedmiles4580]

A tip : watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.

[@jessejude3200]

@Ahmed Miles Definitely, I've been using flixzone} for years myself =)

[@ady_mather_66]

I have 3 songs that will never leave my Top 5...How soon is now...She sells sanctuary...and this absolute banger....this song with those vocals is utterly stunning ❤❤❤

[@theredjediknight]

awesome album, bloody briliant the 1990's. Bring them back

[@looking4ferdy]

Jonathan Maher Sadly most of them don't like each other so probably won't happen. I saw Paul Draper last year in Bristol. Fantastic little gig. Going again in February.😊

[@genDD22]

Been living in England since 2005……nothing perfect like this

[@Rosieglo81]

reminds me of waking up one misty easter sunday morning at a hockey festival exactly where i'd passed out in the club bar the night before! This was playing on the radio as i awoke from my slumber!! Ahhh... good times!

[@World-Superbike]

Beautiful!

[@amafirenze-vi1uh]

Great underrated band.

[@miaodu1695]

Paul could sing so effortlessly live! God! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💙💙

[@hi_mymymy]

Oh Sir Paul Draper! U are just brilliant! Wish I could see you and the band Live.

[@looking4ferdy]

Ani Matsumoto GO GET TICKETS FOR HIS SOLO TOUR BEFORE YOU MISS OUT!!

[@janeythebrit]

hell...YEAH !

[@张上上]

因為一直樂隊而愛上英國

[@Detman101]

Lol, I remember wondering how they got the girls voice to morph into a guys so smoothly. Then I saw the video and was blown away at draper's vocal range. Dm

[@skwinthead]

always loved this band - saw them 3 times live - last time at Leeds festival in a tent - great show.

[@marixpulp2000]

Hermoso!

[@captainlucy]

This was the first time I saw Mansun, and I thank Chris Evans for beinging them to my attention. As for people feeling sorry for them - it's probably because, like so much great talent, they were nowhere near as huge as they should have been - largely overlooked in favour of the latest Oasis album or whatever. Oh well, won't be here so I don't care.

[@vikingmog]

the first i herd and seen them was the most unlikely gig. they were supportin Page and plant(Led Zepplin) in the point in Dublin in 1998 six was just out. They were class and that was me hooked.

[@tatemusicevententertainment]

Yeah boss!

[@hesave]

cool

[@MrGingerwarrior2u]

Bring back TFI.. it was fuckin brilliant.. great bands funny stuff...freak-or-unique.. what ever happened to our good tv..ah thats it..political correctness..bolloksed it all up..

[@lilith5356]

Paul so talented and handsome!💕💕

[@GarethFlatlands]

@EnglanEOfficial They sold a few of them in a Chester music shop back in around '97-'98, there was a semi-hollow Gibson with the roses on, another I can't remember and a plain black Gibson Les Paul. I now own the Les Paul :-)

[@TheMusicalElitist]

Cool story bro.

[@Biffinnbridge]

I wished they’d chipped in and bought a tuner.

[@omgomg5475]

@bucephalus00 amen dude... i was born '89 and thus not really old enough to have been listening to the music in its time. still i find today's music just doesn't cut it when compared to '90s britpop for example. i mean take kings of leon and the killers for example... they're the biggest bands in the world and their music doesn't speak to me at all

[@lucianita5]

Amo esta banda ❤️😍

[@taffylass]

@MrGingerwarrior2u The Incredibly Tall Old Lady!!

[@billygriffiths9668]

Awful song from the 90s
