Awesome cover.

Wow, rather odd choice for a cover but a good one too. Always liked the original but that’s even better, much more guitar based and all the better for it.

I like the original also. I agree that this cover is better.

A great cover. Manics have done their share of obscure covers...but always with a degree of love and reverence.

I'm pretty sure I heard parts of Lincoln before this—"Ana Ng" and "Kiss Me, Son of God"—but this is what sold me on TMBG.

It was just with the lyrics before, not with the video, which looks pretty good to me.

When you think how redundant bands like The Rolling Stones sounded as they reached 50, it is quite an achievement for the Manics to still sound so good.

Uhm, can you name one other band that is "like" the Stones?

And that Manic Street Preachers song is as forgettable, cliched, forced, and overplayed/produced as all those other identi-kit Brit-pop bands from the '90s. So there.

I thought you would like that song considering how much it sounds like Big Country.

I just think albums like Bridges To Babylon were corporate awfulness. Another commodity tacked on to their humongous world tours, the musical equivalent of a hot dog.

Other than a nice chordal lead guitar tone, it sounds absolutely nothing like Big Country. More like a mix of Oasis and Pearl Jam.

And face it - you will never mistake the Stones for anyone else and vice versa. And every single album they've ever released has at least a couple classics, and the rest good/very good. Never has a band/artist (since Otis Redding) had a such a consistent catalog whereby you don't feel the need to skip a song - even a ballad/slow song - in a festive/ party/ love-making atmosphere. Prove me wrong, mate.

Sounds nothing like Oasis and especially Pearl Jam to me. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, I thought the Stones were awful after about 1983.

I was never big on Bad Manners and apart from compilation albums I don’t have any of their records however Spotify for some reason loved to play them for me and I have to say they were a good band. I just never warmed to Buster and the above just adds fuel to my fire.
Ironic we are discussing Buster on PH birthday as he posted a picture of them together on here.
