The Manic Street Preachers have been the most important band of the 1990s and this live performance proves why. Recorded at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on new years eve 1999 the Manics play to 60,000 fans and give a show of a life time. Playing hit songs from their five studio albums such as 'Faster', Austraila', 'You Love Us', 'The Everlasting' and 'A Design For Life', the Manics show why they are still going strong and still the best at what they do. The event is certainly an historical one and one that will always be remembered.

The MANICS once again make history as they travel to Cuba to play a historic gig in front of 5,000 Cubans and their leader Fidel Castro. Recorded in the Karl Marx Theatre in February 2001 the Manics break new ground as they showcase their new studio album, 'KNOW YOUR ENEMY'. With the gig made up mainly of the new material, they prove that they can communicate on any level and give these people, who probably have never heard of them, a show to remember. The DVD also shows a tour diary of the events leading up to the gig and some great footage of the Manics. The gig itself is fantastic and is well worth of the publicity and the success it brought.

FOREVER DELAYED- PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE MANIC STREET PREACHERS BY MITCH IKEDA.

Forever Delayed Book Cover

You wait all last decade for a great photographic book on the Manics, and then the definitive statement comes all at once. From Mitch Ikeda's earliest black and white shots of the skinny, delinquent, Gwent guerrilla guitar band, through to his colour portraits of the stadium rock-transcending threesome, it's graphically apparent that the eleven year wait for the officially sanctioned visual celebration of Britain's most effective on-going populist rock'n'roll provocateurs has been worth it.

The Manics' most empathic chronicler, Mitch Ikeda, met them on their first Japanese tours and formed a bond which shines out of these 240 pages of photographs, beautifully laid out by the band's regular album designer Mark Farrow. The final-word images in 'Forever Delayed' are distilled from over a decade of Ikeda's work, where he collaborated on albums, posters and editorial, and reacted to their shifting myth as the Manics ricocheted from arriviste glam punks, burning a hole in early 90s baggy indie-land, to socially acute mass heroes (against the class zeros) determined to keep the band's spirit alive after the mid 90s disappearance of Richey Edwards. Ikeda's searching, immortal shots of Richey, the bands' passionate live moments and their backstage truths exposed are captioned by Mitch and the three Manics, and put in context with a foreword by revered 'England's Dreaming' author Jon Savage.

This gripping, comprehensive, access all eras portrait of the junksoul genius rockers forms as integral a part of their expression as a collector's copy of their earliest single 'Suicide Alley', or the hand-written lyrics to 'The Holy Bible'.

James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire, Sean Moore and Richey Edward wrote their amazing, high drama rock movie as a dream in liquid flame. Now the dream's finally available in burning stills.
