Although I love The Roses and have seen Ian Brown, Primal Scream and the Seahorses live, I can't agree with you. However, as mine is Quadrophenia, I doubt many would agree with me?
The way it just drops out of nowhere 3:05 is fucking unbelievable, arguably the greatest band ever regarding the ratio of songs to masterpieces. Words can’t articulate what it feels like listening to the roses
Mindblowing!! Ian brown sounds like ian brown. I love his voice. It was part of the roses unique sound. The second coming is one of the greatest albums of all time. End of
The stone Roses first album was the best album ever imo.However this is my favorite roses song. Browns voice was on the way down by the time of this live performance. Still better than anything i have heard by any band since.
saw the roses reading rivermead centre 95.ians vocals were overshadowed by the power and drive of the band.one of the best gigs of my lfe.they were unreal
Our love, girl, is going through changes I dont know if im alive, dead, dying or just a little jaded Someone throw me a line You know i need it, i need it bad Lost in a maze of my own making No way out that i can find, send home your hard working jury Im going down this time Youd better believe it, yes, you had
Don't listen to these guys Surplus. As a Manc I appreciate the obscene difference between Mancs and Cockneys. As fans we are territorial. The highlight of The Roses live was Spike Island in Widnes so really music wasn't so Universal when it was commercially arranged for a large live audience in and around the Mancunian base after the fans had proven to follow the Roses and fair few mile for the love of it.
Thanks to Peter for posting this video. It's a pitty that the sound is not optimal. Anyways, John's solos are mind blowing. The band plays this song with sublime skill: great singing, powerful bass and epic drumming. Probably the best song of the best rock album of the 90s.
the other day i was in town. there was an amazing band playing on the street. after a while a drunkard showed up and started shouting and rambling. at that point they sounded just like this 1:37
Can't be bettered.. I've searched for studio version and only stumbled upon this classic... from Brixton no less. Because every time I tried searching studio.. i get that crappy server error thingy.... This is the real deal..!!!!!!!!!!!!
John Squier is a total artist. You can include him in the same breath as Bowie for creation. Brown's input to British Music as an individual is well below Squier imo.
I was also here this night And remember the concert very well. It was truly extraordinary. Will never forget. I also saw the last concert they did in Reading. It was different.
By the time reading come Reni and squires had left .. they did benicassim as a warm up and it was that bad I was nearly crying …I was there working with another band and Ian as ever like mani total gentleman and great people even though their band had died … tax bills needed to be paid
I saw the Sheffield gig of this tour - Would like to have seen Reni but Maddix did a stand-up job. Squire was on fire but yet he left soon after. Strange world.
@TMSB31 So who 'can' sing the blues? It's a genre of music created by, and is synonymous, with the working class. It's not about what's in the throat, it's about what's in the heart.
Better picture quality than the vhs of this I have seen previously👍 Was it cold that night? Lots of coats and winter hats on stage😅 Don't the state of the art moving lights look primitive now, funny how fast technology moves on 🙂
You're damn right about Reni! What a drummer!! what a band and what a legend! Only drummer that comes close is Jimmy Chaimberlain (Smashing pumpkins) or Chili's drummer!
@ellycat I disagree. It may be easy to you,(and fair play to you!) and it may even be easy to get the basic riff down. But I think with with all the subtle little note-bends tucked away it's pretty tricky to get perfect. That's 1 of the things I love about Squire's playing, the attention to detail.
why reni? WHY?? couldn't you have stayed for a leg of a tour? it would have been so nice to have some live 2nd coming concerts recorded with the best drummer in the world!
a lot of people comment and say that the magic had gone when reni left,did them people see them on the second coming tour of the UK? i very much doubt it,coz they were tight,brown was as good as can be,squire was dynamite,mani was mani and robbie jay played bloody good drums.i saw them 6 times in all,from hacienda all the way thru to the shambolic reading performance.and anybody who said the magic had gone,obviously never saw the roses on this tour!
no worries mate, this isn't pc dotcom calling. And your right, it is bisexual. I was just playing around with what you said. Then again I love all the slang terminology for those who bat 4 both teams.
