one of the greatest bands of all time, back in the summer of 89 I remember just walking around England and hearing The Stone Roses everywhere ,their music seemed to float on the warm Summer Breezees, but maybe that was because I was stoned most all the time back then 😁 Everyone who appreciated real music played there LP or The Wonder Stuff in my town. Great times great music ❤🔥
This was one of the giant hits of the Manchester scene sound when it was breaking through. This was what was knocking our socks off in 1989 instead of Seattle Grunge. We got that too, but later. This was the indigenous music revolution of our own. A big part of the genre's cool-factor was the defiant Northernness, the fact that it was assembled and promoted by Factory Records in Manchester, and showcased in Factory Records' nightclub The Hacienda in Manchester. The Stone Roses launched their initial EP with live shows in Blackpool, the northern seaside resort, instead of in London. That not-London thing made it more of an underground cult thing, that fans could feel they were getting in on something special, something you had to travel for, had to seek out and that wasn't just another big commercial product of the major labels and BBC Radio 1 in London. It was part of the Indie labels/Indie music subculture, even though they ended up selling millions of records. What they'd been working towards at Factory Records was rock music for dancing. New Order, Factory Records' only really big seller who kept the label afloat, had been to Ibiza, and had noticed that dance music consistently packed out venues in a way that Indie Rock just didn't, and they began to experiment with adding more rhythm and danceable basslines, especially New Order's bassist, Peter Hook. Factory Records were thinking the same way, and it was part of the strategy with opening their own nightclub for their bands to play at. But it was The Stone Roses and the Happy Mondays who really cracked the formula which was like a bolt of lighting in British music at the time. It got me going to nightclubs for the first time, for the Indie Disco nights which friends dragged me to, and it was absolutely intoxicating. Manchester became the coolest place in the world for a couple of years, as far as we knew. Other bands who were part of the scene: The Farm (eg Groovy Train), EMF, James (eg Sit Down), The Charlatans, Inspiral Carpets and The Soup Dragons.
Mondays cracked it with Weatherall/okenfold. - didn’t dig bummed, but living n Middleton in late 89, hallelujah and rave on, led me to buy my first flares since 75 - in afflecks palace. Hacienda, Dry 201, lads in n strangeways roof - amazing. Carpets/Charlatans were excellent, but the farm and soup dragons - jumped n the band wagon.
@@spruce381 Remember there was also Flowered Up who were a bunch of southerners who shamelessly jumped on the bandwagon. Also, Primal Scream; although Screamadelica to be fair, was a fantastic album. Even Blur’s first single had strong Madchester baggy vibes. All of the above were foreign insurgents of course. 😉
You, Sir, have just found one of our most important English bands.. You've found them late, but I'm gonna get you up to speed here in the UK. August 23rd is the release date of Fontaines D.C. album "Romance"; it will be special.. Trust me!
I get flashbacks listening to this music, we've all popped a pill, chewing gum, drinking water and my mate is rolling a massive joint at the side, while Pete is dancing in the kitchen.
Guaranteed you're going to get plenty of comments suggesting 'Fools Gold' as your next reaction to The Stone Roses. If you do react to it, make sure you listen to the full album version, otherwise you're missing out.
@@NealeSmithy sorry, i'm autistic, don't understand the smiley! Peace, bro! Ps. If you're implying that fool's gold was on an actual album then i'll see you in the car park, and court, later. I was 20 when this came out, soundtrack to my life...
I was just about to mention the drummers bucket hat, showing that this couldn't be more '90's. Shows how much I know and why people should check the comments before doing so themselves.
@@JoeThornhillEvery decade bleeds into the next. The last two years of the eighties could be seen as a part of the nineties, just like how the early 2000s were a continuation of the nineties. So you aren't wrong in feeling this belongs to the nineties. It was a foretaste of great things to come. Oh, how I miss the nineties!
"Manchester in the area, we're International, Continental" Best Debut album ever, changed the direction of UK music and influenced a generation, their effect is still felt to this day 35 years after the release of THAT album. 4 true Working Class lads, on a shitty, tiny record label with a manager who ripped them off somehow managed to get that album out and changed everything.
I worked with a bloke spending weeks away from home at a time with him eventually becoming good friends. He introduced me to TSR. 2 months after i moved jobs he killed himself, and this was one of his fave songs. Always reminds me of him when I hear it. RIP Rossy mate.
Hey Alan, welcome to MADCHESTER! The Roses established Manchester as the centre of the musical universe along with Happy Mondays, New Order, The Charlatans and many more. This is possibly the greatest debut album of ALL TIME! Not a bad note on it. I Am The Resurrection is required listening from them, as is Fools Gold. When searching for Fools Gold, please make sure you search Fools Gold 9:53. Those extra numbers will give you five more minutes of one of the greatest songs ever written. I'm 52 now and have been a fan of The Roses since high school. MAD FER IT!
The Smiths, Joy Division before The Roses how fecking dare you. A fecking Manc here they both where the influences of all you bands you list . The song for me that made Roses was Made of Stone that was about the flats in Hulme where they all squatted along with all the dj’s etc bye Mr Smith
Didn't expect that response! First album is fantastic, along with their early singles and b-sides. The second album, would give that a swerve, not missing anything there. But the early stuff was amazing and changed my life.
This is on their eponymous album, which is a classic. People rank it against other artists' output (where it should be in the top 100 albums of all time, and all that). No need. Enjoy it on its own merits. And you, sir, got it straight away - the vibe is the thing. Just buy it!
Possibly the coolest band ever to walk the earth. Dont waste time. Just play that first album in full. This is track one and trust me, theyre all as good, some better. Also the stand alone single Fools Gold. Vibe? Hell yeah. The Roses were all about the vibe. Enjoy.
Fun fact: the landscape/place where the videoclip was filmed is here where I live/'m from, 😅😊. It's Lanzarote island (Canary Islands, Spain. An archipelago next to Morocco). It's a very popular place among English people for their holidays.
Came out in 1989. Part of the ‘Madchester’ era of the late 80’s, early nineties. Bands like Oasis, Inspiral Carpets, Joy Division/New Order, James, Happy Mondays to name but a few. Great era for British music. 👍🏻🎶
This was a great reaction to one of the best bands in history. As this is the first track on their debut album, please go through track by track. I'll get all my mates to subscribe if you do lol
1990. the Manchester music scene really took off about then in parallel with the rave scene and widespread use of disco biscuits. it was a culture shift on a par with the 60s hippy scene. it certainly calmed the soccer casuals out a bit. they say if you can remember the 90s you weren't there, and thats largely true
There was a cd released called turns into stone during there court troubles. They weren't allowed to release sny nee music so Silvertone released that. Great tracks. Elephant stone mersey paradise where angels play. Standing here going down and many more.
They were part of the scene during what was called the second summer of love, a 90’s heartening back to the psychedelia of the 60’s. I finally got to see them live a few years ago and they were excellent. If you enjoy the layering in this wait until you listen to the rest of the album. 😎
First track on their first LP in / in 1989. Part of the Madchester baggy scene, but so much more. Was 23 at the time - was a musical rebirth. The album is spiritual for a generation of lads from UK and Ireland. Try fools gold or resurrection. ❤ Ta for your reaction
I as a Scottish teen lived on the streets I wasn’t homeless but the stone roses were our Beatles They are ignored by the middle class .., I don’t know why
6 days ago! Not sure how I missed this one. Stone Roses were right as I went from 16yrs old to 20yrs old and it was the right fit for my youth. Keep digging into this hole
This song is from 1989, released as a single and also the opening track in their first LP. It sounds of its time, looking into the past and also reach8ngnformthe future. It’s still astonishing to me now, all these years later. (I first heard it in ‘89.) Listen to the whole first album, you won’t be disassembled.
My band on 1987 bought the album self titled the stone roses the album is a masterpiece the lyrics and sounds from this four piece Ian brown vocals Reni drums vocals John squire guitar & mani on bass the written is incredible trippy as we were on that era, the b sides of thier singles were as incredible as the a sides, I am the resurrection, mersey paradise, & made of stone 👌🏼 watch the documentary film made of stone when they got back together show you what 50 year old were dreaming about for decades awesome, without the stone roses thier would be no oasis !
This was their sixth single and was also found on their first album, both the single and the album were released in 1989, so a couple of years before grunge really hit the UK big time…which I’d say really came with Nirvana. The Stone Roses are part of what we referred to as Indie Music at the time, as most of the guitar bands that were making music in a similar vein to this were signed to independent record labels…in the days before major record labels bought them all out. I was fourteen when this came out and nineteen when their only other studio album was released (which was quite possibly the most anticipated album of my lifetime…at least for my age group and in the part of Scotland I grew up in). Other bands that were regularly played at our local disco around that time were The Happy Mondays, The Inspiral Carpets, The La’s, The Farm and The Charlatans. The Indie Bands from Manchester at that time became collectively known as being part of the Madchester scene and if I remember correctly 1989 was known as ‘the second summer of love’ partly because of the Madchester scene and all the illegal substances that were connected with it, the Acid House movement that was kicking off around then along with all the illegal raves that happened in random fields up and down the country or the indoor ones that were part of the Warehouse scene. It was a fun time to be a teenager and a disappointing time to be that tiny bit too young to really get to appreciate it…especially when you’ve got siblings old enough to have really taken advantage of all that was on offer (they’re four and seven years older than me).
So many great Stones craps. Both studio albums are fantastic, but don't miss out on the singles. She Bangs the Drum, with the epic Standing Here on the b-side is one worth checking out. The transition to mellow lilting love song, on the 12" version is sublime.
The Stone Roses, the darlings of the Madchester scene Firstly ya just gotta go and listen to the self titled The Stone Roses debut L.P., it is a masterpiece. Then ya can follow that up with the non-album Singles / E.P.'s "Elephant Stone", "Fools Gold", "One Love", "Sally Cinnamon". Eventually you'll come to the "Second Coming" L.P. and the first song released from that album "Love Spreads". And, Finally... you will have to delve deeper into the 'early' Stone Roses and their E.P.'s B-Sides, and marvel at the brilliance of one of the most unique and original bands ever. You will also have to explore the other Madchester Band that came out of Manchester Scene at the same time -- Happy Mondays "Kinky Afro", "Step On", "Wrote For Luck", etc. The Charlatans "The Only One I Know", "Then", "Weirdo", etc. Inspiral Carpets "She Comes In The Fall", "This Is How It Feels", "Caravan", "Dragging Me Down", etc. And, so on and on... .
Lead singer ian brown is a local boy, Timperley orn and bred, i knew him to talk too back in the day, my young nephew sees him in lymm village at the barber shop all the time. He is a typical Manchester lad or Mancunian as we are. He has the rock star attitude that all mancs have, liam Gallagher soad that they are the best band in the world. He was on the top of the pops, and they would not let him sing live, so he made a point of not miming , which was cool as fuck at the time.. They are absolutely god mode lads here, but ones you can actually to talk too like normal people.. Late 80s perfection. Oh and mani the bass player and john squire are two of the most underrated guitar players ever..squire is as good as anyone.. Wait until you hear them free style on love spreads or fools gold... My first post here bruv.. But uve seen many of your videos, even know you did Bernard manning 😂😂😂
Oh brother. Do you have some righteous thrills ahead of you. Enjoy... Love Spreads. I Am The Resurrection (the outro is perhaps the funkiest music created by Caucasians since Play That Funky Music). Ten Storey Love Song. Waterfall. Have a wonderful time, man.
Saw them at the Etihad in Manchester and also seen Ian Brown at the MEN (as it was then) in Manchester. You can’t beat Manchester music including the Smiths, Inspiral carpets, James, Happy Mondays etc…
Made of Stone I am the resurrection She bangs the drums ( Song for my ) sugar spun sister The entire debut album is a masterpiece. Possibly the greatest debut record of all time! I’m jealous you get to experience the roses for the first time! Enjoy!
I always considered Stone Roses to be music rather than songs, if that makes sense. As you say, the layering is stunning. Dated a guy who LURVED these guys and introduced me to them. I think two of my fave tracks from Ian Brown are F.E.A.R. - great lyrical play. Then also his track BE THERE which he features on, track is by UNKLE - another brilliant group,
Breaking into heaven, she bangs the drum, love spreads,
one of the greatest bands of all time, back in the summer of 89 I remember just walking around England and hearing The Stone Roses everywhere ,their music seemed to float on the warm Summer Breezees, but maybe that was because I was stoned most all the time back then 😁 Everyone who appreciated real music played there LP or The Wonder Stuff in my town. Great times great music ❤🔥
This song starts the album, I recommend you go through it in order. Every track is amazing.
Couldn’t listen to it for a few years after - too moving.
Great shout
Elephant Stone in place of Don't stop?
@@anthonyslevin1717 I love Don't Stop. Not sure I've heard Elephant Stone. I'll give it a listen.
Stone roses were BIG. They only did a couple of albums (1990s).
Truely brilliant band. Check out more.
Late 80s, early 90s, trust me I was there :)
This is track 1 on one of the finest debut albums ever released. Do us all a favour and listen to the whole album 👍❤🏴
One hit wonders
@@leannecampbell4551who hurt you?
The album The Stone Roses for me is the greatest of all time,every song is an absolute classic!!
The Roses are amazing. I saw them in concert twice, in Belfast & in Dublin.
"This Is The One" is another great song by them.
The Stone Roses!!!! Get in!!!!
Vibe explains everything… sounds of the summer in uk 89/90 raves Roses and Monday’s… what a time to be alive🎉🎉🎉
Fools Good and I Am the Resurrection are also BRILLIANT tracks.
John Squire is a superb guitarist 🎸
Standing here or where angels play two great songs and somethings burning
Massive respect for you checking out this little gem!
I was at their final ever gig at Hampden Park Glasgow in 2017. Please listen to more. Love from Dundee Scotland 🏴
The stone Rose's were one of the best british bands ever ..listen to this is the one ..ten story love song .made in stone..the list is endless

There self titled album blew me away in 1989 still on my playlist in the car with the second album today. Ian Brown has some great solo stuff also

Indy classic, Stone Roses are awesome, loving this thank you, so much more to see, and awesome live 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
"i am the resurrection" is a good one.
The next Roses song could be I am the Resurrection- a classic
I am the resurrection... 👌
I get flashbacks listening to this music, we've all popped a pill, chewing gum, drinking water and my mate is rolling a massive joint at the side, while Pete is dancing in the kitchen.
It's light and dreamy. Can you imagine how amazing it was to dance to this in a sweaty, dark student union bar, back in the day?
Guaranteed you're going to get plenty of comments suggesting 'Fools Gold' as your next reaction to The Stone Roses. If you do react to it, make sure you listen to the full album version, otherwise you're missing out.
100% … It would be a massive shame to miss out on the instrumental of the full 9min version
I Am The Resurrection full version too - the shortened version, without the instrumental at the end, is always a disappointment.
It was never on an actual album...but, yeah!

About bloody time lol. The album is a banger 🤘
I was about 17 years old when this got released, the late 80's and early 90's best times and best music

Fools gold (full version)
I Am The Resurrection
Tears
Just 3 classics, of many
Another fantastic Manchester band❤
Came out in 1989.
Part of the ‘Madchester’ era of the late 80’s, early nineties. Bands like Oasis, Inspiral Carpets, Joy Division/New Order, James, Happy Mondays to name but a few. Great era for British music. 👍🏻🎶
So much to them. Even Ian Browns own stuff .... F.E.A.R for example
Their best song are I Am The Resurrection., Fools Gold and so many more, Sally Cinnamon, Elephant Stone, Waterfall, This is the one.
Stone Roses first album is an untouched gem. Hit I am the Resurrection next
We want more Stone Roses Alan👌❤❤
This was a great reaction to one of the best bands in history.

Plz do " she bangs the drums " or " made of stone "..... both luvly expansions on this // soundtracks of my life dude
Greatest band ever
Couldn’t stop playing this album when I first got it, still love it to this day. Summer of 90 taking pills with my mates, amazing times.
"Tightrope" is a must to
I as a Scottish teen lived on the streets
I wasn’t homeless but the stone roses were our Beatles
They are ignored by the middle class ..,
I don’t know why
I Am the Resurrection, Waterfall
Love Spreads......
loved this band growing up, should check out the lead singer from this, where he does is own work, such as.
"ian brown, F.E.A.R"
6 days ago! Not sure how I missed this one. Stone Roses were right as I went from 16yrs old to 20yrs old and it was the right fit for my youth. Keep digging into this hole
Good tune.
This is the great first song on an album ever!
Welcome to ‘The Roses!”😊
When I was young I used to think it was “I want to be a door” 😂

Sally cinnamon on 12inch 😍
I Am The Resurrection. But really that whole debut album front to back will leave you in the best vibe if you have the time.
So many great Stones craps. Both studio albums are fantastic, but don't miss out on the singles. She Bangs the Drum, with the epic Standing Here on the b-side is one worth checking out. The transition to mellow lilting love song, on the 12" version is sublime.
Aw brilliant. These were part of my youth an you should react to all stone roses. Reni (the drummer) was my idol. Loved him and his bucket hats
Stone Roses an absolute epic band, Ian Brown an absolute legend imo
The Stone Roses, the darlings of the Madchester scene
Firstly ya just gotta go and listen to the self titled The Stone Roses debut L.P., it is a masterpiece.
Then ya can follow that up with the non-album Singles / E.P.'s "Elephant Stone", "Fools Gold", "One Love", "Sally Cinnamon".
Eventually you'll come to the "Second Coming" L.P. and the first song released from that album "Love Spreads".
And, Finally... you will have to delve deeper into the 'early' Stone Roses and their E.P.'s B-Sides, and marvel at the brilliance of one of the most unique and original bands ever.
You will also have to explore the other Madchester Band that came out of Manchester Scene at the same time --
Happy Mondays "Kinky Afro", "Step On", "Wrote For Luck", etc.
The Charlatans "The Only One I Know", "Then", "Weirdo", etc.
Inspiral Carpets "She Comes In The Fall", "This Is How It Feels", "Caravan", "Dragging Me Down", etc.
And, so on and on...
.
Lead singer ian brown is a local boy, Timperley orn and bred, i knew him to talk too back in the day, my young nephew sees him in lymm village at the barber shop all the time.

They are absolutely god mode lads here, but ones you can actually to talk too like normal people..

Oh and mani the bass player and john squire are two of the most underrated guitar players ever..squire is as good as anyone..
Wait until you hear them free style on love spreads or fools gold...

You need to listen to the Stone Roses debut album, one of the greatest ever made, absolutely epic.
I am the resurrection. THIS is the Stone Roses sound of my youth...
Oh brother. Do you have some righteous thrills ahead of you. Enjoy... Love Spreads. I Am The Resurrection (the outro is perhaps the funkiest music created by Caucasians since Play That Funky Music). Ten Storey Love Song. Waterfall. Have a wonderful time, man.
Saw them at the Etihad in Manchester and also seen Ian Brown at the MEN (as it was then) in Manchester. You can’t beat Manchester music including the Smiths, Inspiral carpets, James, Happy Mondays etc…
Best band ever, just my opinion of course
This was from the 90s. Classic UK 'Madchester' 90s tune!
This album is revered in the UK
Bro we only distribute our mid shit in the uk. Oasis, Blur etc. We keep the good shit for ourselves
Listen to 'Elephant Stone' if you love the layering of guitars.
Saw them in glesga green and Tae top it aff primal scream n Jake bug were supporting..wit a day n night .. superb as usual mate ..awe the best
Made of Stone
I am the resurrection
She bangs the drums
( Song for my ) sugar spun sister
The entire debut album is a masterpiece. Possibly the greatest debut record of all time! I’m jealous you get to experience the roses for the first time! Enjoy!
This tune reached no 18 in the US charts in 1990....
Gotta check out I Am The Resurrection by Stone Roses, still my favourite of theirs.
I always considered Stone Roses to be music rather than songs, if that makes sense. As you say, the layering is stunning. Dated a guy who LURVED these guys and introduced me to them. I think two of my fave tracks from Ian Brown are F.E.A.R. - great lyrical play. Then also his track BE THERE which he features on, track is by UNKLE - another brilliant group,
Everyone went out and bought this at the same time it signalled change which we all wanted.
Play this is the one next
I believe grunge was big in th USA at the same time, many indie bands where most likely overlooked,
Please check out the song ‘Tears ‘ it is a masterpiece
I was thinking about this recently
It's quite subtle
