Manic Street Preachers - Live @ Leicester University, Leicester, England, 30-01-1992

  

NOTE: Today marks the 30th anniversary of "Generation Terrorists" the debut studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers.
All these years later, it’s a remarkable work albeit one that’s undeniably flawed and in need of an editor as much as a producer. But its anger (Nat West-Barclay-Midlands-Lloyds railed against bankers decades before fashion caught up), its self-belief ("You Love Us", indeed) and its sense of impish fun (porn star Traci Lords co-sang "Little Baby Nothing" like a Shangri-La) make it an gloriously exhilarating listen two decades on.
And then there was the six minutes of perfection that was "Motorcycle Emptiness". The first appearance of the seductive, compassionate, elegiac Manics which dominated their great albums, "Everything Must Go" and "This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours", "Motorcycle Emptiness" tempered the swagger with rue, singer James Dean Bradfield crooned rather than shouted and his guitar solo was celestially heartbreaking.
"Motorcycle Emptiness" towers over "Generation Terrorists", but without it, the album would still have triumphed. (review by John Aizlewood)
