From Futurology (2014). Futurology is the twelfth studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers, released on 7 July 2014 by Columbia Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Manic Street Preachers' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
