AutoKrytocracy (or note to self...)

Another frenzied note pinned above desk & main area of general musical intensity... Personally, it's one of my favourite MSP tracks, but then, I did play The Holy Bible all day, every day for a year!

 

The Manic Street Preachers' song, "Judge Yr'Self" was influenced by the comic, and was intended to appear on the film soundtrack. It reached the demo stage, but after lyricist and guitarist Richey Edwards disappeared, the other members of the band said that a song for a soundtrack was the last thing on their mind.[10] Edwards himself was heavily influenced by the Judge Dredd and 2000 AD comics (the slogan "Be pure. Be vigilant. Behave" from the 2000 AD strip Nemesis the Warlock was included in the song "P.C.P."). A fully produced mix of "Judge Yr'Self" (by long time Manics producer Dave Eringa) was later released on the 2003 double-album of B-sides and rarities, Lipstick Traces. Furthermore, Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire was immortalised as the character Domino in the 2000 AD story Zenith Phase IV Part 2: Blind Justice (prog 795, 8 Aug. 1992).[11] He has said that this annoyed fellow band member Richey, who was a great fan of Judge Dredd and even had one of his drawings published in the comic during his late childhood.[12] Richey himself was later parodied as "Clarence" of the "Crazy Sked Moaners" in the Dredd story Muzak Killer: Live! Part 3 (prog 838, 5 Jun. 1993), in a scene which parodied the infamous 1991 incident of Richey carving 4 REAL into his forearm with a razor (Clarence lasers 4 RALE [sic] into his forehead).

JUDGE YR'SELF

 

Blessed be the blades

Blessed be the sighs

Dionysus against the crucified

 

Find your truth

Face your truth

Speak your truth

And be your truth...

 

Clean your flesh and mock your fears

The brightest sun is the purest gun

 

Heal yr'self

Hurt yr'self

Judge yr'self...

 

Blessed be the blades

Blessed be the sighs

Dionysus against the crucified

 

Find your truth

Face your truth

Speak your truth

And be your truth...

 

Clean your flesh and mock your fears

The brightest sun is the purest gun

 

Heal yr'self

Hurt yr'self

Judge yr'self...

 

Kiss your wounds and mock your fears

The brightest sun is the purest gun

 

Heal yr'self

Hurt yr'self

Judge yr'self...
