A master piece. The production is mind blowing. Everyone goes on about OK computer being the groundbreaking album of that period, but Six is another level!
@@jimwhite9190 Funny you should say that, because there was some cross-pollination there. Radiohead were recording OK computer next door to Mansun when they were recording their first album (attack of the grey lantern, of course) and even at that early stage their stitching together of songs inspired Radiohead to do the same with 'paranoid android'. Thom even thanked them for this in an awards speech.
Andie is perhaps one of the most underrated drummers of all time. He was intricate, aggressive, skilled and diverse. He doesn't get even 100th of the credit he deserves. His drumming was the star of this track for me.
Kate Burgess with you on that, saw them live a few times, drove down to the roadmender Northampton on my own after work from Walsall midweek,absolutely buzzing driving back home (no alcohol and definitely no drugs involved) mansun were better than many bands around at that time and after! Like me keep playing them Kate,keep playing them 😉👍👌
Alan Farmer Thanks, wish I’d seen them live! I play their albums on a regular basis, far, far better than most of the other bands around at that time Oasis, Blur etc and the majority of the one’s around today! 👍🏻
I remember seeing them at warwick uni in 1998, I was about 20ft from dominic chad, fuckin blew my head off when they played negative! so tight and note perfect, awesome :)
Six was such an incredible album, but because it wasn’t commercial enough it didn’t do as well as the debut. However it was probably one of the best albums of all time
Whole band are great Bass Stove is a much better player than people say, and Andie is a great drummer. Vocals are good Paul is a great frontman, but Chad isn't together on this, and he plays a bum note at the start. I always thought it was Chad who just seems out of touch with this band live.
You haven't watched/read enough interviews, then. Draper was/is insightful, cutting and relentlessly unpretentious. Stove was also a good talker & a great laugh. One interviewer asked, when talking about 'being a girl', 'if you could be any woman, who would you be?' he answered: 'me mum'.
@@jamesthecatwasn’t that the interview circa oct 1998 on MTV most wanted with Ray Cokes. Just Stove & Draper. They also performed live & were great as usual. I loved them so much but never saw them live. Attack, 6 & Little kix saved me
@@jamesobrien1440It was indeed! Their music did the same for me, especially 'six', and I'll always remember the moment I heard the first single from kix on the radio whilst working a truly terrible job! I'm sure their inspired creations will do the same for many others in the future! All the best to you 💜 As the saying goes, they (nearly) forgot more than most knew... m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z0l3wZIOWXM.html
