Manic Street Preachers released their third album The Holy Bible in 1994; it became one of the most critically-acclaimed albums of the decade.

With caustic, affecting lyrics from Richey Edwards, it was infused with political, personal and philosophical themes.

Although it was overshadowed by the sales of their subsequent works, The Holy Bible became a firm fan favourite thanks to tracks like this lead single.

This clip is taken from their performance on Top Of The Pops.

James Dean Bradfield told the Guardian, "It was a gigantic deal, TOTP. The first time we did it was incredible. I just felt like, 'I'm never going to work again, Grandma!'. When we did Faster, Richey wanted me to wear a balaclava.

"Because we were all dressed in army regalia, it felt like we were parodying the use of legitimate power, like the special forces. It didn't enter our heads that people would see it as an Irish paramilitary symbol."
