I paid for a VIP meet and greet with Ian Brown after one of his gigs, it was a room of maybe 15-20 people. He turned up about 90 minutes late for it, took one step in the door, looked at the crowd and said 'nah, I ain't having this' and walked back out. None of us where even mad, it was pure Ian Brown behaviour. Very aloof character. 😂

Stone roses - Waterfall, She bangs the drums and fools gold are all a must, I have every faith you will get round to them

Made of stone by stone roses is pure rock n roll tune

Both LG and NG were hugely influenced by Stone Roses. Ian walks (in place) about 20 miles in a concert and never really goes anywhere. Ian Brown is a very good front man and quite deep, positive thinker. Mani, John and Reni are top top top at what they do. So do Fools Gold next!

The Roses were huge influences on Oasis and Liam in particular. Listen to very early Oasis demos and you can hear Liam's vocal tone is very Ian Brown.

I was at the secret comeback gig in 2012. Small venue of 800 people and guess who was there on the balcony? Liam Gallagher. He was just a fan like the rest of us, amazed of what was happening that night.

Most iconic bass line ever created

"I don't have to sell my soul, he's already in me" fantastic line

I met Ian briefly once, I was working and had my 5 year old son with me. He told me my son should be out playing with his mates. Lol. He has a messiah thing about him for sure! I have been a fan of their music since the early 90’s and still am!

You won't find many good live recordings of the Stone Roses, as talented as they were and as talented as Brown is as a songwriter...he can't sing for shit. And without John Squire Stone Roses songs don't even work and should never be replicated.

Mancunion swagger. Love your reactions especially the Mancunion bands. I went to school with Liam Gallagher and I always bump into Ian Brown a few times a year around Manchester. Keep up the good work lads.

All the cool bands come from Manchester, Stone Roses, Oasis, The Smiths, The Charlatans, New Order, Happy Mondays. The Verve, A Guy Called Gerald, Elbow, Doves, 808 State, Inspiral Carpets. Paris Angles. Northside, The Fall etc........

The Stone Roses, The Happy Mondays and Inspiral Carpets were the cornerstones of the madchester scene, You've done two of the three I recommend "She comes in the fall" live when you do the Inspirals. They were the band that got Noel into the music business, hired him as a roadie and showed him how to run a band! Also worth checking out Kula Shaker "Tattva" or "Hey dude" their Organ player/Keyboardist Jay ended up joining oasis and Reef "place your hands"

Ian also has some great solo material lads 👍

Best opening track to any debut album by anyone ever

Seven lines in the whole song. Ian and John wrote it in twenty minutes, it's a belter.

Do fools gold by stone roses great song

Manchester had a scene late 80s early 90s, swagger, pills, rave, football and the music. The roses James The Mondays Northside Inspiral carpets Oasis later on. Factory records hacienda club.... The US had grunge which the nerdy kids listed to over here....

The instrumental was just about to kick in! And his swagger is because he’s from Manchester, same as Liam. Back then the acid house scene was just kicking of and Manchester was known as MADCHESTER. We had a different musical revolution begin with this very band, where as in the US grunge took of with Nivarna and you guys went in a different direction. Stone Roses first album in my opinion it’s one of the best albums ever. It was so revered that they struggle to produce a second album.

Ian Browns solo stuff is also great . I’ve been to more Ian Brown gigs than any other artist 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You should react to the version at Hampden 2017, the crowds on a whole new level, loads of pyro, this was also their last ever gig! at the end he says 'don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened' 'The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored Live @ Hampden 2017'

I recommend listening to “Love Will Tear Us Apart” by Joy Division. Another Manchester band like the Roses and Oasis. Ian Curtis has a very haunting voice but the music is very unique and the lyrics are very intense.

Y’all aren’t ready for “She Bangs the Drums” ‘!!!

Love Spreads is an amazing tune, guitar work will blow you away

When you can react to the studio version its an amazing song but liam definitely modelled his front man style on Ian brown

Squire went on to form a band called the seahorses who were great, his guitar playing is distinctive all through the album

This was definitely the right video to watch. It’s imperfection makes it perfect. He definitely wasn’t happy at the start about the sound. That just showcases his attitude. The crowd singing the lyrics for him shows what an anthem the song is. It’s my go to I Wanna Be Adored KZbin video.

You should definitely do "fools gold" absolute classic.

Respect must be paid to guitarist on this video, Steve Davidson, and bassist Frazer Clark, both from Aberdeen Stone Roses tribute band ‘Fool’s Gold’ for stepping up so brilliantly here. They sound awesome. Well done guys.

Fools Gold and Made of Stone are biblical tunes and worth checking out. Loving the content guys!

I was at this set and it was mindblowing. Ian Brown gets a lot of grief for his voice when he sings live but he absolutely nailed it that night.

The debut album is still one of the best albums ive ever heard. Up there with Revolver.

The guitarist in this vid isnt John Squire. His name is Steve D. We used to work for the same company and lived a few doors away in Aberdeen. He used to be in a Stone Roses cover band and one day got asked to play and tour with Ian Brown as he wanted to add Stone Roses songs to his Solo performances.

One of my favourite all time tunes! Pure poetry! I know I keep on but STEREOPHONICS! You won't be disappointed

When I went to Florida 20 odd years ago, I hired a car. Love Spreads came on repeatedly on American radio stations. Probably their best song in my opinion

Great reaction once again! Yes, John squire is the one who came up with that riff. Check out the actual band if u can cuz their drummer is incredible.

Keep what ya got boys it's an amazing song sang by ian brown written by noel Gallagher and omg what a tune, yous will love it trust me! Ian's got some brilliant solo songs as well, blue sky day, set my baby free, dolphins were monkeys, fear, stellify just to name a few.

Fun fact: Noel (Gallagher) decided to form a band at an early stone roses concert

This was at T in the Park, a massive weekend held every June in Scotland. Thousands of tents scattered everywhere after everyone leaves, they also have "glamping" where you get your cabin like thing but it's more expensive. You dont have to stay for the whole weekend you can stay for a day, or one night. Everyone who is anyone has played here.

Shed Seven - “chasing rainbows” for a soaring ballad!! There is a good TRNSMT live version which should be good to use.

Love the manchunian sound.... Nothing has touched it since. Great sound track as well from footy film green street

The Stone Roses-Waterfall rehearsal 2012 is on here. Give that a react btw. Muchas gracias

This was the opening track of their debut album in 1989. That brooding base line that slowly faded in. The superb little solos of John Squires guitar. That sublime swagger of Ian Browns vocals. The problem is that Ian Brown is really bad singing live. This is one of his best performances that I have seen and that is probably because he was obviously more concerned with what was going on off stage than his actual vocals. I was there at the Reading Festival in 1996 when I heard this live for the first time. That base line. That swagger. When he started to sing the crowd was pleading with him to stop singing and to just let Mani and Reni solo.

you should hear liams voice in 1991 it’s basically the same as ian

Ian Brown always seems like a very nice bloke!

Ian Brown and John Squire were 10 years older than me and went to Altrincham Grammar School, less than 200 metres from the pub I grew up in and that we still run to this day. Ironically, Oasis base guitarist , Bonehead, moved to Hale after success and was a regular in our pub for years until quitting the booze. The Smiths also attribute Panic and The Hand that Rocks the Cradle to being written less than a mile from the pub. Tyson Fury, Ricky Hatton, Steven Spieblerg (in the 80's), countless ex and present Manchester United and numerous other Premier League footballers, Rugby World Cup winners, England Rugby Captain's, England Cricketers, European PGA Golfers, Soap Stars etc visit the pub, several on a regular basis. Man City players even celebrated the Premier League Title in our pub in 2018. You walk in and it doesn't matter who you are, everyone is treated the same. You're just another customer and the locals treat you like anyone else, that's why they love to come. The Railway inn, Hale

I'm sure you'd have heard "Fools Gold" ? Roses first commercial hit .Used a fair bit on film soundtracks etc

You guys have a nice positive vibe, I like it.

The Stone Roses are the greatest band in history and Ian Brown is a Fucking Legend.

If you react to the stone roses it’s probably better to do studio versions

Good chance this is t in the park 2005. I was right at the front at this gig against the barriers. Me and a few mates were doing a U symbol with our hands at him, it was a gang symbol he saw us and started dancing doing it back 🙌.. then my mate threw a Scotland flag at him, he picked it up and started dancing with it. What a gig, really brings back memories. During this gig I'm sure he started fighting with the sound guy, then started spinning the mic about hitting it off the ground.

Just adds more credence to those of us non-Oasis fans who thought they were just a rip-off band...

The stone roses. Simply my favourite band. No oasis without these guys

You need to listen to their first album to understand why they are adored.

You're excellent judges of character.... Fools Gold and Sally Cinnamon are good!! Kx

It’s the Manchester attitude, Ian and Liam both have it 👊🏻👍🏻🎉

Please take the trip down the Stone Roses rabbit hole hugely influencel on oasis and one of the most iconic British bands of 80s 90s. Definitely in my top 5 all time

You want a groove, it must be love spreads stone roses, amazing, am here for the 90s indie

Stone roses rule.fools gold live at Heaton park Manchester from the Shane meadows film made of stone is an awesome jam.proper.

You got that spot on Liam wasn't the first manc to have that attitude and style, Mr Brown did it years before,

Oasis - See the sun 1991. It was written pre oasis i believe, a real fucking banger, Stone roses vibe

this is secretly britains actual national anthem.

Liam has stated that Ian brown is the only person in the industry he wouldn't fuck with. And rightly so Ian is a specialist in several martial arts and is reportedly hard as fuck.

You're going to love stone roses, if you get the chance check out the film spike island, it's about a group of lads trying to break into a stone roses concert, or watch stone roses at parr hall in Warrington, have you done the Smith's

Great reaction. Big warm vibes

Stone Roses are superb. I have all of and love Ian Brown's solo Albums as well. He writes some deadly songs. Unfortunately he is not a great singer live. Although I did see them in Dublin a few years ago on the reunion tour and his voice held up very well. I had an excellent night anyways :-)

Correct version lads, such a banging song, such a cool guy, such good memories!

Mad you guys are doing Manny reactions. Keep em coming. 👍

I saw the stone roses at Heaton Park in Manchester. Everyone knew all the lyrics and everyone was singing along to the bass lines and guitar riffs too. Also got to see Liam gallaghers band and also the wailers (as in Bob Marley and the wailers). Fantastic night.

I am the Resurrection live in Blackpool….Mr Brown is off his face but what a live performance…..perfect

Love seeing you guys discovering a British legend

T in the Park was huge festival in Scotland,attracted all the greats

Ian brown once told shaun ryder from the happy Monday's, he would cut he's hand off.the roses and the Monday's also had a big rivalry, like blur and oasis.

I was there. This was at T in the park in scotland. I used to go every year but they've stopped the festival now

there is only one live video gig on youtube and it’s not the best quality but it’s really amazing

Stone Roses r great with almost no bad songs at all. I recommend checking out Love Spreads or Fools Gold next. I would also say that if ur going to react to live versions go for 2012 gigs onward, it’s hard to find many high quality recordings from the earlier days.

I love the stone roses but the only time I've heard Ian Brown sing in tune live was Waterfall on the made of stone documentary....it's an honest reflection of why so many people absolutely love the band.

He's an artist too.... John Squires my favourite!! Kx

Ian was in Dispute with squire at the time on playing roses tracks at gigs. brown never played any roses songs live at solo gigs until squire did at his own solo gigs I've been to see brown live 5 times before t in the park I'm sure this is the first time he sang them live since the roses toured absolutely amazing.

I'm there singing along RIP T IN THE PARK MISS U SO MUCH STONE ROSES #LEGENDERY

Watch the video of them performing at Blackpool in 1989. (Waterfall)

Shoot you down by The Stone Roses is one of my favourites

And Ian Brown got his tambourine idea from the frontman singer of The Cult.

Ian Brown is a true legend. And John Squire is a musical genius. I’m sure you have seen Liam Gallagher and John Squire have released an album together. It’s brilliant!

Yeah, Ian isn't great live singing but sounds great on record, imo The Stone Roses definitely have a bigger cult following than Oasis, especially in Manchester and the rest of the North of England... and from this video obviously in Scotland too!! Ian's solo stuff is great too. Try listening to First world problems, dolphins were monkeys or F.E.A.R the collab with Unkle, that is probably his most popular. Keep the reactions coming guys, I love you listening to are great bands from the late 80s and the 90s!!

Liam Gallagher as a kid, went to see The Stone roses and basically walked out and said “that’s what I wanna do r kid”! To Noel!

For I Wanna Be Adored have a look at their first comeback gig in 2011 at Warrington Parr Hall

The Stone Roses had some real good tunes. The Best of The Stone Rose's CD there all on there.

Great reaction lads!!! Okay, BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE I’ve seen is The Stone Roses, Fools Gold live at Heaton Park... 13mins long and a massive jam out session kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIPWqKuuiZh7h5o Oh and I GUARANTEE you’ve never seen a crowd like it.... They waited about 15 years for this gig and it shows. It’s worth watching just to see a crowd smash down the walls to break an entry and climbing on the ice cream van😂 Generally speaking though, Ian Brown’s vocals ruin their live gigs, but in the studio he sounds like an angel!

The best Stone Roses vid, if you can access it, is Fools Good, Heaton Park, from the Made of Stone Documentary, truly epic.

checkin in... my fav stone roses song ,that bass though

She bangs the drum... for me the best song of theirs.

If you haven’t already, you should do night boat to Cairo, or one step beyond by madness

I always thought he was singing ‘I wanna be a dog’ when I was a kid! Lol

Try and find one of the live gigs from Manchester 2012. The whole city was bliss! Total love everywhere. Plus the original line up has the best musicians of their time.

You guys are giving Liam Gallagher the biggest compliment of his life

Fool's gold, extended version. Banger!.

Liam would so love to be Ian Brown's son!! Stone roses are gooooood!! I love them!! My bro worked at Strangeways prison, in Manchester, when Ian was in there! Lol!! Kx

Check out the video for Keep What Ya Got and see Ian Brown and Noel hanging out together.

Would like to know what year at T in the park that set is from? Mind seeing him one year around 2005/06 and he walked off earlier after arguing with the sound engineer, came back out and played the drums for a bit then left again. The crowd felt short changed and the atmosphere started turning nasty.
