Same here! Walked past my sister's room in '89.....'She Bangs the Drums' was blasting out the speakers and I was instantly hooked. Ended up stealing her copy on vinyl and played it to death on my crappy old turntable.....45 now and still get that same giddy rush as I did all those years ago as a scrawny 13 year old, ha!
Bs research cause ian brown was anti drugs and made that clear from the start. And reni didn't popularise bucket hats, we all wore them then. This isn't researched at all and you're too easily pleased. I grew up with these guys when they lived in hulme and you literally know nothing about them
It's meant to be ironic, as in the hollow ego driven desire to be adored, as satan was and how he has worked his way into all of us via sin etc. That was also part of the reason behind all the old £5 notes photocopied on his t shirt, being the route of all evil etc..I assure you these guys were not satanic shills. For one thing they were 100% anti monarchy and the disparity between the super rich and the rest of us. If you heard the entire album then their agenda, if they ever had one was not malicious in any way. If anything it is a critique of fame and what some ppl will do for it. Maybe why it took them years to make it. Another track fools gold also kinda leans in that direction although it was not on the original album. It was only released as a single back when, as I know cause I bought it when I was 17. This song is about the music industry and nature of fame and ego and what some ppl would sell just for that. These guys were living in hulme, which was basically a modern brutalist social housing estate and the last thing they were is pompous or fame whores.
I tried to reply to your comment but the truth was shadow banned. This song is a critique of the music industry and the motivation behind most of the ppl in it. I guarantee you these guys were not sold out shills. I grew up with them when they were in hulme, an old brutalist social housing estate to crush your spirit and make you feel insignificant.
You should check out the band Suede and their song Animal Nitrate from their eponymous debut album, post-Stone Roses so many British bands were doing the “Baggy” thing, then Suede came along, and brought back a bit of a 70’s glam rock feel, mixed with 80’s indie and Britpop or “Cool Britannia” was born. In the wake of Suede, Blur dropped the “Baggy” thing and started sounding more like the Kinks & Syd Barret era Pink Floyd, Oasis and their Beatles inspired sound was then signed out of Manchester to Creation records, Pulp from Sheffield was rediscovered and gave themselves a modern makeover, it was a brilliant time for music in the UK!
Oh to be back in Manchester in the mid 80s and 18yo again, with all the great music coming out of the city. If you want to check out other tracks by them, I would suggest 'Waterfall' and 'I Am The Resurrection'. The latter being a much longer song. Or 'Fools Gold', which is a more Indie dance influenced track. Hope you enjoy them
I like your channel. Hopefully you react to more Stone Roses. Love Spreads, Made of Stone and Shoot You Down are some more great songs. I Am The Resurrection is a classic though.
Nice reaction but now I can't get "I wanna be a dog" out of my head! :D They had some great songs, Waterfall is my favourite of theirs. Another band to check out that came out of Manchester around the same time is James. They've had so many great songs over the years. They split up around 2002 but reformed later and are still going. A good more recent song of theirs with a brilliant video is Moving On, it might have you in tears though.
Love Spreads is their best video for me. The first album is the best to listen to in the car though. Turns into Stone (the B Sides) is also great. You should check out the Shane Meadows film..Made of Stone, about the band and their recent comeback shows 😎✌🏻
You should check out The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony, if you haven't already. It has a great video, thought provoking lyrics, and has been widely used in pop culture - most notably on the soundtrack of the film Cruel Intentions.
I suggest you listen to the hour long interview by brown and squire they did in around 89/90 in brown made his views on drugs very clear. Dont just lump these guys in with the moronic happy mondays junkies
The reply to fubar that apoears as 1 reply but is invisible. So i sent another, which will no doubt vanish as well if it doesn't pass the algorithm. And btw ian brown was anti drugs
I was like 13 years old when I first heard this song. I'm 45 now! I looked everywhere for the cassette and finally found one.

Good reaction young blood. Bringing the knowledge at the start and great to see you've researched it thoroughly ✌🏼

The importance of this band is unquestionable...The Best
Coming from town it sounds about right. Lots of nice stuff.
A timeless classic. C.
Any song off of this album is amazing
The Stone Roses were not influenced by MDMA, that came a bit later, they started out in 1983, that was about five years before E came about.
Excellent, glad younger folk are getting into the Stone roses
Back when it was cool to film on Mars
It was actually filmed on a slagheap in North west England
"I don't have to sell my soul, he's already in me." Yeah, no surprise they're famous

One of the most important British albums of all time, casual way of life :)
Edit: Love Spreads is their best tune (imo)
He's no dog, he's a dolphin
He just don't live in the sea
I liked the historical background, that was cool not many people do that on reactions. Subbed
To make full sense of the track you need to listen to "I Am the Resurrection", the last track on the album. They act as bookends.
I bought the album on vinyl when it came out. The hole in the middle was so small it wouldn’t fit on my turntable

or get a job.
Great reaction subscribed.
Great reaction. Made of Stone is killer as is most of their stuff.

Thank you so much :)
Great reaction😃👍
I didn't know the lyrics (or the title) when I first time heard this, years ago. But it was catchy and I repeated "I wanna be a door" day in day out.
for Every ones information.. Reni was an LL Cool Jay fan.. who was first with that hat..
The mancs rocked it better than the new Yorkers.
Ian Brown is such a talented performer!
💯👍

I wanna be a door 😂 😂

The Stone Roses I recommend the song Fools Gold of them

Please girl i beg you to react to The Smiths - I Won't Share You. Its just soo good
You should check out The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony, if you haven't already. It has a great video, thought provoking lyrics, and has been widely used in pop culture - most notably on the soundtrack of the film Cruel Intentions.
Now I Wanna Be Your Dog

Why did you delete my reply?
Do a reaction of the movie Troy 2004.

Talking absolute nonsense about mdma link with music
Indie, not rock.
