The Stone Roses

[snez1]

Yes, yes, yes - two of my favourites (even if they are practically the same song...)

 

Elephant Stone - awesome.

 

You missed out Standing Here, you naughty boy.

 

If i'd added Standing Here and my other favourites i'd have just been taking the piss in terms of post length!

It would be rude to take up more than a page to yourself, I suppose.

 

By the way, does anyone know the truth behind the 'The Seahorses'/'He hates Roses' anagram debacle?

Doubt it's ever been confirmed or denied. Seems like a coincidence to me though.

Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean.....

Mersey Paradise, She Bangs the Drums, Sally Cinnaman, I Wanna Be Adored, I am the Resurrection, Made of Stone, Fools Gold, Elephant Stone, Waterfall, This is the One, Ten Story Love Song, Love Spreads and many many more are just absaloute genius.

 

Oasis we're phenomenal and their first 2 albums we're also genius but for me the Roses just had something more about them. All the songs above and as i said, many more are just ridiculously good. I think it was Noel Gallagher who said "They had it all, they could've been bigger than The Beatles". Such a shame it went the way it did.

 

Oh dear, did he really say that? What a fuckin balloon.

[loadsoftrophies]

Does anyone have Garage flower? all the early stuff and b-sides, some great stuff on it, don't have the album but i've heard most tracks off it.

[snez1]

Don't think he actually meant it, i mean no one will ever be bigger than the beatles for so many reasons. However, the Roses had it all, the charisma, the look, the swagger and most importantly, the music.

 

I'll argue with anyone till i'm blue in the face that TSR is the best album ever. It's flawless.

[ReddOrDedd]

I personally like The Roses A LOT more than The Beatles.

I can't even stop myself singing 'This Is The One' during the intro.

[Ginny]

When people say they never reached their full potential... i think they did reach it as a band with the 1st album.

I like both of their albums, the 1st is a classic and the second is a John Squire Zep wet dream. I hear people going on and on about them all the time. I dont think you can call a band who released 1 very good album and a mediocre follow up the greatest band ever.

Also, they only played a handful of gigs. Very sketchy

My favourite song of theirs bar none. The last two minutes are just beautiful. Their early b-sides are all amazing (except "full fathom 5"). "Going Down", "Mersey Paradise", "Standing Here" and "Where Angels Play" are all brilliant tunes which to me were the equal of almost everything on Second Coming. And "Somethings Burning" was well better than "one love" too.

[Guest ShoePiss]

You know how it goes, a few drinks and you go home and re-discover some music.

 

I Am The Resurrection; their best song.

[Bjornebye]

They were unbelievable at heaton park. Truly epic gig.

Heh, sounds problems and all I'll take spike island but then I haven't seen them in years. Fucking brilliant though, still early night here at 1245am.

 

Ahhhh Old fashioned and The Stone Roses, life is ok.

Ah that's the hardest thing in the world

Nope, the hardest thing in the world is Mendoza's cock at a nativity play.

 

I've only been listening to The Roses for the last year or so, fucking brilliant music. This Is The One is probably my favourite track at the moment although it'll probably differ week on week.

Waterfall is one of my fave tracks of all time.

[Captain Turdseye]

Waterfall is one of my fave tracks of all time.

 

Yeah, Waterfall and Fools Gold were the only songs I was really familiar with until all the fuss over the comeback gigs and I delved a little deeper. I was never big into music when I was a kid but I'm on a voyage of discovery at the moment, thanks in part to some GF recommendation threads. Got my playlist up to around 750 songs, mainly rock. I'm liking The Black Keys at the minute, 'Gold On The Ceiling' is a boss tune, my favourite recent one.

Only the last year? Fucking youth of today.

 

I can't stand Fools Gold, heard it too many times. Best song by The Stone Roses is Where Angels Play, for me. Love it. They were boss in Heaton Park, great day that.

Just a heads up for the Stone Roses fans amongst us, Shane Meadows film Made in Stone is being shown on channel 4 Saturday night at 10:50pm

[Malarkey]

I love the Stone Roses. But I seen them at Coachella last year and was ridiculously underwhelmed.

 

Ian Brown just isn't a performer and sounds awful live.

[slimjim75]

Me and the wife paid £30 each to watch this last year at cine world. The movie plus live feed from the premier.

 

Was expecting a fullish house with everyone decked in flares and hooded tops and drugs a plenty...........ended up with only 17 people in including us and one girl I know from the Co op wearing high heels.....
