covers
too lazy too serach...
whats your top 3 manic covers..? 1. we are all bourgeois now 2. cant wrap your arms around a memory 3. bright eyes/last christmas... cant decide.. the manics have so many great songs. i think the only band that gives so many different ways of writings songs after 12 albums. and the covers are one of the secrets that hardcore fans will give them a new way of thinking about them.. |

bright eyes is just a live version isn't it? Sounds too muddy..james should re-record it for his crooners album
Last Christmas is seared in my memory I loved it so much. I remember just staring at the telly, i'd never been to a manics gig so didn't know about his acoustic interludes. For me their best cover is Suicide is Painless.. so good I forget it's a cover not sure about 2 +3 yet

Totally agree with hummingbird Suicide Is Painless is timeless classic.
I'd love them to cover Turn The Page but I know it'll never happen.

Also echo Suicide is Painless, brilliant it sounds like an original and it's a cover that's effectively become a Manics song!
We Are All Bourgeois Now would also be in my top 3 and (might be controversial) but I think their cover of Umbrella is pretty awesome too. |

yes, suicide is painless is a good cover, but they could easily wrote it for themselves.. dont mind if its a live song or not..

Despite still never having heard The Horrors' original (does it even exist in studio form? All I ever heard was a muddy live clip) Vision Blurred is surely one of their best covers. And really deserved a better release than a bit-starved NME download.
I also love their versions of John Cale's Endless Plain of Fortune, Nirvana's 'Penny Royalty' (Pennyroyal Tea), and The June Bridges' The Instrumental. Alright that's 4. Too hard.
