Missed by the self indulgent TOTP 1992 editor.

Lots of snobbery here from the elder music police. People enjoy what they want to, which is why they sold more records and were on TotP. Just having a bunch of drug addicts being very loud and having the main drug addict screaming into a microphone doesn't make them better by default. There were and are some brilliant and talented pop musicians out there, you are just not the target demographic.

Was it this performance?
Early manics were deliberately provocative and iconoclastic. It was probably a critique of rampant capitalism as much as it was a demonstration of love for Communism.
That said, as Welsh lads from the Valleys who watched the closing of the mines destroy local communities they do, or at least did, hold strong socialist ideas.
Anyway, if I was in charge of putting a 1992 manics ToTP performance on a retrospective I'd have plumped for this one:

Gone a lot better for many of the nations who gained their freedom from the Soviet Union.
They took their chances and made them count, Russia did not.
Absolutely. We look at the horrors in Ukraine and we can say, to misquote, Herr Tubthumper: "Wouldn't happen in the Soviet Union". Ditto Yugoslavia before. No one can say that the fall of the Soviet Union and the collapse of Communism was an unalloyed 'Good Thing' from which nothing but great progress has resulted.
It must have been around 1990, I went up to Steyning and 'back to school' as Carter USM did a gig in the Drama Hall . . .they were absolute shyte.

My favourite album from that year was Yes Please by the Happy Mondays. It generally got slated but I loved it and it was a great story behind the whole recording of it, in a nutshell, literally thrown together in a hurry to raise much needed cash for Factory Records, bizarrely recorded in Barbados despite the easy access to the hard stuff that Shaun Ryder was addicted to at the time, subsequently he never managed to get any vocals on it at the time and they had to be added on their return after a recording session in Lingfield. Loved them days!
