Louder Than War

"Louder Than War" is a DVD release from the Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers. It is a recording of their live concert in the Karl Marx Theater in Havana, Cuba in 2001. The concert holds certain historical merit as the band became the first western rock band to play in the country. Fidel Castro was a part of the audience that day, and the band also managed to meet him before the concert. The title of the DVD comes from Castro's answer to the band: after the band had told him that the concert will be very loud, Castro answers that it cannot be louder than war.

The concert's other merit is that it features several songs taken from the band's then-latest album "Know Your Enemy". A large number of these songs would become very rare in the band's future tours.

The bonus live tracks are songs taken from the same concert, but taken away from the main track listing and shown in inferior sound and video quality.
