Sweet Child O Mine - Manic Street Preachers - NHS Gig - Cardiff - Monday 20th September 2021

[@LBPreviews]

Just casually does an incredible guitar solo. Classic James Dean Bradfield.

[@harwoods11]

Self taught too ❤

[@tramlad2]

Just a magnificent band, never brought out a bad record, superb level of excellence

[@motorcycle1011]

Agree

[@southerner4566]

Lifeblood ?

[@charlesxavier..]

I much like Lifeblood album😊​@@southerner4566

[@eggnoglattebufton]

Truly a great night, the sound in the arena was awesome. You had to be there to appreciate just how good.

[@declanhowley4679]

when you happy it shows in shows and playing...great band live..

[@davidschick4729]

I love it. Actually play slash part and also sings very good is really a sign of a special musician.

[@geminijojo7355]

Bloody epic, and what an intro from Wire 😍

[@moose6676]

Well …….. what can one say 🤔 absolutely brilliant 🤩

[@austinreid5032]

Best band out of Wales by a country mile

[@motorcycle1011]

Stereophonic s

SFA

[@redsidebiker]

The Alarm

[@issyjas3309]

Yeah they’re the best band out of wales, I like stereophonics and as good as Kelly Jones is, he’s no Nicky wire when it comes to lyrics

[@Rojata19]

Well I'll say this, he's singing it better than axl does these days! 😂

[@waltercoyle6393]

I respect what Axl could do technically but it did nothing for me. I can't sing. I'd rather have James' voice than Axl's. It is a songwriter/songs I would write thing. Manic Street Preachers 'The Holy Bible' fan here.

[@stuwhyte479]

Hahahaha 🤭

[@richardohalloran6469]

He does 😁

[@neilmac991]

Always a great voice

[@deerhunter2218]

Don't be silly

[@marciahenthorn9050]

A truly great remake when a band makes the song their own.

[@AndreVlaamsValle]

"She's got an arse from the bluest skies..." I swear I heard that lol

[@HerFatherDidntLikeMe]

Thanks for filming/uploading. They truly do a great version of the song.

[@issyjas3309]

Been together since they were 5 and James cousin on drums. Talk about a tight band

[@corrielebon8216]

You can say he truly loves playing guitar.

[@telecasterbear]

I love watching James hop around.❤

[@Msantie29]

IIona thank you for sharing this gift !!

[@mariliareis7075]

Bons tempos. E James toca muito.

[@JM-5150]

James is a fucking great guitar player.

[@pirulows]

This band is the best from 90´s on...

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

Pretty good, but............Supergrass.

[@sanfrancis9845]

Lol Not even close

[@ethanprince356]

Pretty good, but Oasis.

[@shed_dad]

Everyone who's ever tried to play rock guitar has tried to play this riff!

[@scammelljones6545]

Ahhhh remember it well great gig it was too

[@user-kl5hd4tm6t]

wow i am fan of guns and Roses and I love this version, love from Israel 🇮🇱

[@thomasalmond3311]

🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱!!!.

[@robbiepeterh]

So difficult to sing this in the original key as it’s so high for a man but James pulls it off beautifully

[@paulatkin7679]

Er... No. The key is too high for him obviously, or you wouldn't have mentioned it. Father time takes his toll on singers, guitarists get away with it a bit longer.

[@chrispharris2768]

Yes it looks like he is having difficulty with the key. I feel im willing him on to make every note. hence a lot of shouting to get by

[@Thomas-vc3un]

Way better than the original. Miss Ritchie.

[@nw5117]

You miss the bloke who couldn't sing or play an instrument. What the hell would such a person add to this?

[@margaridacosta270]

They made their own version.

[@francisbarrington1756]

This was brilliant last night at Leeds

[@angeladuffy9507]

Glad to see the real soul of guns and roses shine ✨️

[@tonyc3282]

Awesome cover that Axl & Slash would be mucho impressed to hear! 👍👍

[@thecookreporting]

Got the phrasing spot on

[@rodrabelo]

Nice to see Slash and Axl ( on these days) playing guitar and signing at the same time.

[@alejandromartinez3805]

Una de las mejores bandas del siglo 21

[@nigellambert6701]

[@hirenchauhan8280]

Awesome.

[@craigchampagne7797]

Legend.

[@gcfcos]

Incredible

[@stewarttaggart7764]

James is worth 3 members of GnR (good ones, no Bucketheads....)

[@stewarttaggart7764]

Im gonna go out on a limb here and suggest THIS MIGHT BE BETTER THAN GUBS N ROSES

[@timtimfiles]

great !!!

[@vidsarchive]

The very J D Preaecher knocking out the jams.

[@tnangelius]

love the song and G n R

[@vincemarshall8550]

the manics cover version loads of stuff ,does anyone cover their stuff or is it too technical for other musicians?

[@user-vp8bx5cm3z]

เจมส์ โซโล่เพี้ยน อ่ะ สแลช หัวเราะเลย

[@Edgar_Randolph]

4:44 Quick little throat clear 😂

[@TheYmodos]

How 4 can become so strong and yet break and leave too soon....

[@MrChrisrockson]

Tune down half step, you’ll be ok James

[@leonskum.5682]

Cool.

[@vandolmatzis8146]

would have loved to see a g and r cover of Manics

[@stronginthesun]

Maybe slash and burn

[@user-lk5ei6ik5w]

In the 90s maybe, not with Axls voice now

[@vandolmatzis8146]

@@user-lk5ei6ik5w yep.Damn,Time flies,peace to you.

Free up your minds it doesn't have to be perfect copy Like a painting doesn't have to reflect what you see

[@snowwhite6900]

nice to see you guys out and about,,,,cant allow a little bug 2 stop da music!!!!

[@AndreVlaamsValle]

I always felt a GnR vibe when MSP had Slash 'n Burn and Stay Beautiful. And I'd love to see those songs with GnR but I know that won't happen, they like to cover only songs from the 60s and 70s (and Axl's voice is so bad right now....aaaaaaaaaaaah lol )

[@Jamesfoofighter]

James was/is massive Slash/GnR fan. Learnt to play the AFD album and all the solos back in the day

[@antonellaleiva3607]

Have you seen the cover of their first album ,Generation Terrorists?There you 'll see how much GN'R mean to them

[@jackphilips9526]

The bass intro to sweet child o mine is piss easy yet Wire hasn't learnt it....... shame

[@sirtrevor10]

I was disappointed to see the bassist only playing a watered down bass part, when, as you say, this is not difficult on bass. I’m sure he could learn it in an hour or two ?

[@azeiras]

Wire is pretty good bass player as far as I concern, he often made many tricky difficult bass riff and scale pattern in MSP songs. Maybe He just not a big fan of GnR that's all , so he just didn't give a F

[@jackphilips9526]

@@azeiras They have said that Guns and Roses were a big influence on them

[@moniquemethorst6984]

Slash the best

The NHS? Boy, that takes me back. Good times. Back before the Tories destroyed it. Back when it it was free at the point of use. Back before privatisation.

[@danielmason7282]

Jokes! Higher than the original key!

[@glenndouglas8822]

Didn't they say they were gonna split up after making one album? I'm still waiting.....

[@andrewstubbs822]

Possibly my favourite lead singer/guitarist since the 90s, but JDB shouldn't have chosen this song to cover. He's clearly struggling, vocally.

[@vincentbrannelly8786]

GNR in welsh is less good . Just saying .

[@leewainwright8084]

Saw these 29 years ago. They were great. They're great at what they do. But this song is a little beyond them.

[@mgthestrange9098]

What!? JDB could play this with his eyes shut if he wanted to! Sean doesn’t miss a beat either.

[@hughzapretti-boyden9187]

Most things are beyond them!🤡

[@RUDI-UK]

If the NHS didn't stop wasting money on useless niche projects, this band would not have to do fundraisers for them. Given MSP's collective intellect you'd think they'd be more wise to what is going on inside our health service. Not a bad version of this great, though.

[@djangoyorke9770]

it is a shame when an artists voice gives up the ghost.

[@richjohns8283]

So there is something JDB can't do vocally

[@bradash.9309]

Portentous pricks, but good !!!!

[@waltercoyle6393]

Why is James wearing tight pants?

[@baldini75]

becaue he can :P

[@nw5117]

He ain't really got the figure for it anymore!!

[@gscjapan6356]

They weren't tight originally. He just podged out!

[@abegarfield543]

To cover his genitals, obviously.

[@sjorsberends6393]

Why are you writing this comment?

[@juliemunn7869]

This is a great try, as much as I like the manics, sorry it don’t come close to axl

Mah.. Gli assoli lasciali fare a Slash va..

[@JaffaGaffa]

How is that Covid thing going..... F-up. Bet the maniacs "Clapped for the NHS"

[@vicesquadpunk]

He is singing flat all the way through….. should have lowered the tuning of guitars 😯

[@baldini75]

you realise its a phone recording, right?

[@rustybaws5313]

Its not flat its sharp. He's singing in a key slightly higher than the guitars. I saw them live last week and his singing was on point, must of been a bad night for him.

[@pentexsucks43]

@@baldini75 hate to be that guy, but that doesn't matter. It could be recorded with an Xbox headset, you could still tell if it was or wasn't. Unless the mic is damaged to shit and warping everything. It can't pick a certain element to put out of tune.

[@burakyy4907]

what he does is not easy. original version is recorded with half step lower tuned instruments. So I think here tunings are normal and he is trying to sing in a pitch higher than axl's original.

[@majas4922]

A little too high . Hes not comfortable singing and it shows. Also...too fast !!

[@sigmaman721]

Horrible... didn't you know it was not your key?????

[@simony2801]

Blooming awful compared to the original version. Please grandad stay home.

[@hughzapretti-boyden9187]

Embarrassing.😂
