The Stone Roses/Ian Brown

[JASR]

Ah memories.

Wut?!?

 

[manimanc]

Wut?!?

I said....'ah memories'

As in reminiscing about happy times when I was younger.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

Amazing live, ah the memories ;)

Were the Mondays and 808 State on the same episode of TOTP?

Mondays & the stone roses were, don’t think 808 state were on? quality tune tho! ;)

 

[Stuuuuuu]

They showed two episodes back to back: 808 State were in the first one; the Roses and the Mondays were on the second. All three looked terrible miming in a studio but I guess that speaks more about the TOTP format of the time rather than the bands' talents.

This is why New Order were just far more important and so far ahead of their time, in comparison to everyone else. They refused to go on TOTP unless they were allowed to play live. Not just sing live, but trying to get synths to sync with each other live as well. Their performance was legendary and absolutely terrible at the same time. It looks and sounds abysmal, but they stuck to their guns and played live.

I remember telling folk at work to watch it..
Most slagged them off the next day.... "They didnt move" "they just stood there" they said.
But what about the tune? I said, to shrugs of the shoulders...

Now Bernard dances like Bez and shout whoo all the time.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Oh aye.
I can still hear my mum saying who the fuck are these druggies ha ha.
I was there, on a Thursday night, 15 years old, wax in my curtains, flares on thinking I was the cats pyjamas dancing like a twat.
Ah memories.

That's me most nights mate. Still.

Looks and sounds absolutely colossal in my opinion.

Every time I hear the roses I'm straight back into 1989.

Had the LP on for my run this morning mate.

Didn't wear my flares but only because they'd slow me down ;)

 

[manimanc]

Just got this in my emails.

My first thought was oh hello is there a third coming in the offing, ridiculous I know but I like to dream.
Then I thought what the fuck are they playing at, the band split up for good, covid has put the kibosh on everything, why the funk has their website, which was shite beforehand, suddenly sprang into life and started selling all the merch?

Very strange.

[manimanc]

Another email from the stone roses website saying new merchandise on sale.
Why?
I love the band and the music but talk about flogging a dead horse.

Having said that there are rumours saying they've all got together again but surely it's not happening again?

Nothing surprises me any more.

Did you have cheese in your ears?

That was utter wank, well his singing was.
