Why this guy is not considered a legend yet is beyond me. He has it all - he can REALLY play, he can sing, his songs are incredible and he can put on a show. I know the Manics are more than a one-man show, but seriously JDB is a phenomenon. I can think of nobody in the last decade with his talent.
I love this version of Little Baby Nothing. I think James doing it just on acoustic guitar makes it even better than the original. He puts so much more emotion into it. Fantastic. I've been listening to this constantly for over an hour. It makes me cry. It's that good.
Some of the Acoustic versions JDB does are better than the originals - I think this is one of them. Sometimes its easy to forget he has one the best voices in rock. I dont really rate his solo stuff though - he certainly isnt a lyricist.
Not right without Traci Lords singing the main vocal part. Not right at all. A guy singing about being stuck in the porn biz as a sex doll, used and abused "by men" sounded perfect sung by her. She might not be a great singer, but she knocked this out of the park, and it was just perfect that it was HER.

James Dean Bradfield is a living legend. Incomparable in many levels
Saw him play 'Yes' acoustic at Manchester last May, that was just amazing too. He truly is god's gift to Wales, and anyone who has ears.
one of the best melodies written by James

"You are pure you are snow, we are the useless sluts that they mold" James is fantastic!
He has a great voice. That's for sure.
What a fucking voice..
Really,there is noone else like this guy.
I simply cannot wait to see the National Treasures show in London next month. This is a definite stand out track for me.
something about james when he is with an acoustic, last christmas is also great
@tassiered Spot on. Can't put it any better than that. He IS a legend to those in the know.
Pure Genius
incredible 😍😍😍
Does anybody know where to get the acoustic version James did on the Steve Wright Radio 1 show circa 1992?
I've never aseen this before, it's good. When is it from? Looking at James I would estimate around 2002?
I agree :)
well i remember this episode the libertines where also on, i think it was 02/03ish...
What year is this from? Jimmy looks kinda young and skinny. :)
I prefer hearing them these days, excellent live performances by JDB, but i prefered LISTENING to them when Richie was about
he should play the original intro though
When is this from? It looks pretty recent.
can u cut off the first 12 seconds please?

any song with the lyric "I laughed when lennon got shot" is punk.
