Didn't see them in their heyday but I did go to Heaton Park a couple of years ago. I agree that Ian Brown's not much of a singer but I thought that the rest of the band were good instrumentally, given how long they'd been retired. John Squire's up with the best guitarists around, other than the giants of the early seventies.

Glad you added the giants of the 70's because he ain't fit to lace page, or Blackmores boots.

My son absolutely adores them, and as an old fart I've actually been to watch a lot of modern bands with him in concert.

Oasis umpteen times since 1996, Ocean Colour Scene, The Verve, The Coral, Kasabian I've seen these and more.

However the Stone Roses I think are shite.......sorry just my opinion.

I will cut John Squire a bit of slack as a fellow blue, and I've a bootleg where he plays guitar on Champagne Supernova with Oasis at Knebworth in 1996 and it's brilliant!!

Isn't Squire a red? Thought Reni was the only blue?

I get these modern bands confused and your right JohnSquire is a red, I was thinking about Johnny Marr thats the City fan, and I knew there was a blue definately in the Stone Roses.

Like I said earlier my lad loves them whilst I can't see what all the fuss is about.

Never got into the roses myself but a mate of mine who loves them lent me a biography of theirs. Opened it up randomly and the 1st line went something like this

Squire " i want the next album to be like Led Zeppelin"

Brown "why? we're already better than they ever we're"

No need to read anymore after that. Average band that came at just the right time.

Please tell me Brown didn't say that. Please.

Probably the first "Super Group" of the 70's flying around in their own aircraft touring the World. Quickly followed by Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis and I've probably missed some. A moment in time which exsited from about 1973-1977 but I may be wrong.

Music is about personal taste, opinions, and ultimately what an individual enjoys.
 
First album is one of my all time favorites. Up there with the very best imho, I don't think I'll ever tire of listening to it. Second has a few tunes, and there were another few ep releases that were interesting / decent. Everything they've done since has been shite, and I hope they give up and don't become an embarrassing dad band or disappear as far up their own arses as far as Ian Brown did with his solo 'career'.
 
Helmet mate you do know that the roses haven't done anything since 1994's 'second coming LP'?. I'm intrigued to find out what "everything they've done since has been shite.." Is exactly? ?
