The Stone Roses were an influential English rock band from Manchester formed in 1984. Their 1989 eponymous debut album quickly achieved the status of a classic in the UK, and topped NME's list of the Greatest British Albums of All Time. They released a second album, Second Coming, in 1994 and split in 1996. This is a copyrighted promotional photo with a known source. ...

Early years The Stone Roses emerged in Manchester, England during the early 1980s, when vocalist Ian Brown and guitarist John Squire recruited a talented drummer, Reni (real name Alan Wren), bassist Pete Garner, and rhythm guitarist Andy Couzens to complete the original line-up. Brown and Squire were childhood friends who had attended Altrincham Grammar School for Boys. Both had played in other bands before, although Brown had previously played bass.[citation needed] Manchester shown within England Coordinates: , Sovereign state United Kingdom Constituent country England Region North West England Ceremonial county Greater Manchester Admin HQ Manchester City Centre Founded 13th Century City Status 1853 Government - Type Metropolitan borough, City - Governing body Manchester City Council Area - Borough & City 115. ...

They had a dedicated following in Manchester, but were considered unfashionable and somewhat uncouth by the local music scene at the time, which was dominated by Factory Records and Tony Wilson.[citation needed] Publicity shots from around that time feature Squire in a bandana and Brown wearing leather trousers.

In 1985 the Roses released their first single, the Martin Hannett-produced double A-side "So Young/Tell Me". A doom-laden affair, it was largely unsuccessful and was later disowned by the band. At this point Brown had yet to develop his trademark cool delivery and had a shouty, aggressive style, and the rest of the band had not yet found the groove that was to characterise their best material. Martin Hannet (right) with Bernard Sumner in Cargo Studio, Rochdale (1979) Martin Hannett (May 31, 1948 – April 18, 1991), sometimes credited as Martin Zero, was an innovative record producer who helped develop Joy Division and co-founded Factory Records with Tony Wilson. ...

By the time of their next single, "Sally Cinnamon", the Roses' sound had changed considerably. Released in 1987 on FM Revolver records, "Sally Cinnamon" contained chiming guitar hooks and a strong melody, and sounded more like The Byrds than the Sex Pistols. Brown had developed a new, softer singing style and Squire and Reni were becoming more confident and streamlined, and much less noisy.

In late 1986 Andy Couzens left the band due to ongoing differences with manager Gareth Evans, and less than a year later, bassist Pete Garner left the band in August 1987. The Roses then brought in bassist Mani (Gary Mounfield), who jumped at the chance after hearing there was a vancancy in the band from his younger brother. With the definitive Roses line-up now complete, the band quickly became much tighter as musicians, and developed a trademark visual style - baggy clothes and Jackson Pollock shirts, guitars and drums. A single, the psychedelia tinged "Elephant Stone", followed, along with an album deal with Jive/Zomba offshoot Silvertone Records.

First album years In 1989, The Stone Roses released their eponymous debut album, produced by John Leckie. The Stone Roses was a remarkable debut album. It opened with "I Wanna Be Adored" and closed with "I Am the Resurrection" (or in America "Fools Gold"), both songs capturing the sense of youthful invincibility and ambition that pervaded the album as a whole. Now considered a landmark in English rock, the album was well received by most of the music press and word of mouth began to spread about the band.

Later that year the band released a double A-side single, "Fools Gold/What the World Is Waiting For", which charted in the UK at no. 8 in November 1989. Originally intended as a B-side, "Fools Gold" quickly became the Roses' most famous song and a performance of it on Top Of The Pops cemented their national fame. It was also the band's most musically adventurous song yet: nine minutes, 53 seconds in length, it featured a virtuoso wah-wah drenched guitar performance from John Squire over a beat resembling James Brown's "Funky Drummer".

Seemingly coming from nowhere, the Stone Roses appeared to be the right band at the right time. Like their peers Happy Mondays they had an arrogant swagger and streetwise attitude reminiscent of The Rolling Stones in their pomp. The Roses had a broad appeal too: their upbeat, danceable sound and positive outlook had much in common with the blossoming rave scene at the time, yet they also appealed to more traditional indie fans.

Following the band's success, their former label, FM Revolver, re-released the single "Sally Cinnamon" with an accompanying video. The Stone Roses were incensed by this, particularly what they described as a "third rate" video. They went to Revolver's offices on 30 January, 1990 and after an argument with the label's boss, Paul Birch, threw paint over the offices, Birch himself and his girlfriend, and then vandalised two cars outside. They were subsequently arrested and tried, and in October they were found guilty and fined £3,000 each plus costs.[1] January 30 is the 30th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In 1990 The Stone Roses decided to stage a huge outdoor gig at Spike Island in Widnes. The gig took place on 27 May 1990 and was attended by approximately 27,000 people. The event at the time was considered a failure due to sound problems and bad organisation, yet has become legendary over the years - a Woodstock for the baggy generation. The band had shown that "indie" bands could play gigs of a scale more commonly associated with acts such as Queen or U2. The Roses followed Spike Island with another big gig at Glasgow Green, and by July had released their final single for Silvertone, "One Love".

"One Love" reached number 4 in the UK charts, the Roses' highest chart placing yet, although musically it was arguably something of an anti-climax after the high-water mark of "Fools Gold". After its release, things quickly began to unravel. It was to be the Roses' last original release for 4 years, as they entered a protracted legal battle to terminate their five year contract with Silvertone. Unable to do this, they were prevented from releasing any musical works as a band for the next four years and so not surprisingly, the band quickly lost the momentum they had built up following their debut album, and disappeared out of public view as quickly as they had arrived.
Second Coming and breakup Eventually they wrangled themselves out of their contract with Silvertone and signed a lucrative contract with Geffen Records. In late 1994, a full five years after their debut, the Stone Roses released their follow-up album, Second Coming. Mostly written by John Squire, the music now had a dark, heavy blues-rock sound inspired by Led Zeppelin. Although this worked brilliantly on the single, "Love Spreads", overall the album sounded well produced but short on ideas, and most critics felt that it fell short of the standard set by their iconic debut.

The album was seen as a let-down by much of the music press. However, some felt that songs such as "Ten Storey Love Song", "Begging You" and "Love Spreads" (the latter reaching #2 in the UK charts) showed the Roses could still conjure up their old magic (though the latter arguably sounds like a re-worked version of the album's second song, "Driving South"). Second Coming is a mix of 1970s hard rock, folk rock ("Your Star Will Shine", "Tightrope") and techno ("Begging You"), with "Ten Storey Love Song" the closest to Byrds-tinged songs such as "Sally Cinnamon".

During their absence The Stone Roses had left a huge gap in the music scene and they returned to find a new wave of soundalike bands had taken their place. The Britpop scene had arrived and the Roses, along with The Smiths, The Jam, The Kinks and The Beatles, were hailed as founding fathers. The Roses were mostly positive about Oasis (who John Squire joined onstage at Knebworth in 1996 to play "Champagne Supernova") but held most of the scene in contempt, Squire describing it as comprising "Kensington art-wankers". Britpop was a British alternative rock genre and movement that was at its most popular in Great Britain in the mid 1990s. ...

In March 1995 Reni left the band, and this marked the beginning of the end of The Stone Roses. The band, which had never been particularly media friendly, gave no real explanation for his departure. A replacement drummer, Robbie Maddix, who had previously worked with Rebel MC, was found, and the band soldiered on. Also recruited around this time for the live shows was session-keyboardist/programmer Nigel Ippinson, who had previously played with the band on the re-working of "Begging You" for its release as a single. Rebel MC was the stage name of British hip hop artist Michael West (born 1965, in London). ...
A secret comeback tour of the UK in April 1995 was planned, but this was cancelled after the music press announced the dates. A major blow to the band's status was the cancellation of their planned UK comeback performance at the Glastonbury Festival in June 1995. John Squire had suffered a mountain biking accident in Northern California just weeks before the show, breaking his collar bone. This was simply bad luck on the band's part, but fans were still very disappointed and many expressed their anger. The band finally booked a full UK tour for November and December 1995 and all dates sold out in a day. The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts, commonly abbreviated to Glastonbury or Glasto, is the largest[1] greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world. ...
However, John Squire left the band on 1 April 1996, to the anger of the remaining members, particularly Ian Brown, who stated that Squire had locked himself away from other band members and frequently used cocaine. In the recent wake of departing his own band, Geffen labelmate Slash approached the Roses with a view to replacing Squire. The Stone Roses rejected the offer, stating "No, we hate Guns N' Roses, f**k off!"[citation needed] Ian Brown has since, however, stated that he regrets the decision and only replied in such a manner as he did not feel it would be "cool" to work with a member of GN'R. Eventually, former Asia and Simply Red session guitarist Aziz Ibrahim was recruited to fill Squire's shoes. The band persevered for another six months before Brown and Mani dissolved the group after a disastrous performance at the Reading Festival in August 1996 at which disappointed fans booed and threw objects at the stage.

Influence Liam Gallagher of Oasis was inspired to be a rock star after seeing the band at an anti-Section 28 concert at Manchester's International Two venue on May 30, 1988 and was impressed by Ian Brown's stage presence; he also claims to have bought four copies of the Stone Roses' debut album, because he "thought [he] should"[citation needed]. Although Brown was a technically poor singer, he was a natural showman and held sway over the crowd throughout live performances. His style influenced the likes of The Charlatans' frontman Tim Burgess (who Brown later mocked during an NME interview for copying his style). The band were noted for their dislike of traditional gigs and often preferred to put on their own events reminiscent of the early acid house scene.

Although some later Britpop songs contained social commentaries, often ironic or cynical - notably Blur's "Country House" and "Girls & Boys", and Pulp's "Common People" - the Stone Roses' work tends to be more political or idealistic. The song "Elizabeth My Dear", for instance, clearly criticised the monarchy. The May 1968 student riots in Paris are said to have provided some inspiration for their first album, with the colours of the French flag shown sideways on the cover, and with lemons alongside placed upon Squire's Jackson Pollock-type painting (lemons had been used to counteract the effects of tear gas during the riots).

The Stone Roses' desire to make serious statements saw them identified with punks (aided by Stone Roses graffiti which appeared throughout Manchester when they released their first album), though the band's image was also a combination of sweetness, fiery moodiness, intelligence, artistry and soul.

Reformation? In July 2004, Ian Brown surprised fans in Dublin, Belfast and Surrey by playing sets consisting mainly of old Stone Roses songs from 1989 and 1990. He followed this up by performing a mixture of Roses numbers and his own material on his UK and Ireland tour later in the year. At his return gig in Manchester, not only did he perform seven Roses tracks, including "Waterfall", "I Wanna Be Adored" and "She Bangs The Drums", but was also joined on stage for a bow by Mani, bringing the two former Roses members on stage together for the first time in over 8 years. Brown was also joined by his friend Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher to perform the single they wrote together, "Keep What Ya Got", and DJ James Lavelle, whose group UNKLE released "Reign" featuring both Brown and Mani later in the year, reaching number 40 in the UK singles charts.

In May 2005, Squire told Time Out magazine that he would consider a Roses reunion. [2] In the same month, he, Mani and Reni were spotted together at a concert, leading to much speculation that a reunion was not just under consideration, but imminent. Later in May both Reni and Mani confirmed that they were open to the idea of the Roses reforming, but Reni said it would not happen in 2005. [3] Reni also confirmed he has started writing songs with the intention of performing them with Mani. However, since all Stone Roses songs were written by Ian Brown and/or John Squire, any material produced will almost certainly be used for a different project. 2005 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December- → Wikimedia Commons has media related to: May 2005 Deaths in May May 26: Eddie Albert May 25: Ismail Merchant May 25: Sunil Dutt May 25: Graham Kennedy May 22: Thurl Ravenscroft May 21: Howard Morris May 21...

Following Kylie Minogue's cancellation of her Glastonbury 2005 performance, rumours circulated that the Roses would reunite to fill Minogue's slot. Interestingly, both Brown and Primal Scream were booked to appear at Glastonbury, making some fans hopeful that Mani would join Brown onstage after Primal Scream's set. A performance by the Roses failed to materialise, but Ian Brown did break his silence on the subject of a reunion soon after the festival. He stated that Squire should contact him personally if he wants to reunite, rather than use the media as a vehicle for reunion. Brown is said to remain angry at Squire for leaving the band and as such is unlikely to consider a reunion in the near future. Squire reportedly sent Brown a box of Maltesers with a note reading "I Still Love You" for Christmas when Brown was imprisoned in 1998 (a throwback to a tradition the two held from Christmas as children), but apart from that the pair have been said to have not spoken since Squire left the band.

In September 2005 a reunion looked considerably less likely, as Ian Brown commented to several journalists that "there's more chance of me reforming the Happy Mondays than the Stone Roses". Happy Mondays in fact have reformed, but yet Brown appears pessimistic about a likelihood of any reunion. Fairly recently, on the television programme Soccer AM, bassist Mani (a staunch supporter of Manchester United) jokingly claimed that the Stone Roses would reform "The day after Man City win the European Cup". Happy Mondays are an English alternative rock band from Salford, Greater Manchester. ...

On March 30th 2007 Andy Rourke, formerly of The Smiths organised a charity concert in aid of Cancer Versus Cancer. The line up featured McAlmont and Butler, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Charlatans, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, and Ian Brown. For the finale Brown was joined on stage by Mani to perform the full version of "I Am The Resurrection". As well as Ian Brown's band, other performers who joined them were Paul Ryder and Andy Rourke, and former unofficial Stone Roses fifth member Cressa danced during the instumental part towards the end of the song. Peter Hook was supposed to be the third bassist on the song, and was even announced as being on stage, but had actually left the gig ten minutes earlier, having neglected to tell the correct people. Ian and Mani certainly looked happy to be on stage. Rumor had it that Reni was supposed to be joining them on drums, but the drums were instead handled by Steve White.

In April, 2007, Mani answered questions from fans in Uncut magazine, and when asked if he would get the Stone Roses back together, he said "I'm the only person who could bring it back together again. Ian knows how to craft a tune, John knows how to craft a tune. I don't know if any of us are powerful without each other. The magic was the power of four". But he revealed that any hope of them getting back on stage soon was unlikely, "At the end of the day I'm not going to lose any sleep over a reunion, because those days are gone".
John Squire was interviewed in May 2007 by Dave Haslam on XFM Manchester radio and further lowered the likeliness of a reunion, claiming that even if Ian Brown phoned him and asked if he would be up for gig, he would turn the offer down[4].
John Squire talking to Manchester Evening News has said he has given up music for good, quashing any last thoughts from the fans of a reunion.
