The Stone Roses

When Pete Townshend of “The Who” witnessed an early gig by a young Stone Roses, he commented that Reni was the most naturally gifted drummer he had seen since Keith Moon. This unusual encounter concluded with The Who star asking the band whether he could use their drummer, which led to performances of Pictures of Lily amongst others, with the 20 year old.
 
I'm staggered that Reni's ability is being questioned. Each to their own I guess.

Things seem to have gone well in Sweden last night so the Roses show rolls on. Two weeks today!

the Arctic Monkeys drummer is quality too
Yes he is. I can't stand the Arctic Monkeys, but you can't help but admire that lad.

I agree. Not into them at all but he's one of the best around currently.

I think Dan from Delphic is great. His skills don't really come across on the album, but live and on the original demos he sounds cracking.

Fuck me.

Squire - Technically fucking epic.
Reni - Technically fucking epic.
Mani - Technically fucking epic.

It's only Brown's voice that is a bit below par, and even then it only matters if you're southern, bent or a twat.

The Roses were fucking blinding musicians.

Mani isn't an epic bassist. He's not even the best bassist in that band. Stuart Fletcher from The Seahorses was a better player.<br /><br />-- Fri Jun 15, 2012 11:25 pm --<br /><br />

So he is technically a decent drummer and incredibly inventive? What more does a musician have to do to deserve an elevated status? Yes many drummers may be able to replicate what he does but like any art forms the real genius comes in the creativity. I have played the drums (pretty badly to be fair) for over 25 years and in terms of creativity, I'd say he's right up there. He is/was incredibly individual imo and that is why he he is rated so highly.
Watch this bloke from about 3.15 onwards. It shows what a fantastic technical piece of drumming I am the Resurrection is (IMO). This lad is excellent and can play it but crucially Reni was the one who created it. Sadly I couldn't even begin to play stuff like that, never mind think of it in the first place.

I also feel the need to post this. I could watch Reni on this all day. Effortless.
