None of them
This is the live version of Motorcycle Emptiness by Manic Street Preachers, from the the 20th Century DVD. There are fundamental differences in the bridge and solo, but I have kept in some elements of the original for all you rhythm players out there. The outro solo is obviously improvised but I've worked it out as close as I can, and I think it's pretty spot on. Enjoy!
