That smile when the guitar comes in. That happened to us all first time :😊

One of the great indie bands of the late 80s early 90s. If you want to continue down this road, check out "I Am The Resurrection"

By the way, you're the first reactor I've heard do a Stone Roses track. That's what makes you great. You're not afraid to go deep.

There are several others. You just have to look for them.

Elephant Stone, Waterfall, Made of Stone, Fool's Gold, She Bangs the Drums, I am the Resurrection, Love Spreads, Breaking into Heaven, Tears so many amazing songs off just 2 albums

One of the coolest bands ever. Period.

It wasn't until recently I realized how this song has like 9 words in it but is somehow so complete and beautiful

The Stone Roses not just epitomized the Mancunian scene at the time. They codified it. Their magnum opus is "I am the Resurrection". It's lyrically simple but relatable and musically obtuse. Worth a listen.

Musically obtuse? Mmm

For someone to watch their first Stone Roses track and be like "industrial", "working class", "Manchester" within the first 10 seconds... hats off lad!

Stone roses changed the sound of music in the late 80s

“Fool’s Gold” 🖖🏼

One of the greatest bands full stop.

East Van Hotbox. Feeling all loved and then going back to my job. Like a dream.

A favorite band of the 90”s. Love Spreads is my favorite of their 1st album.

This album is PERFECTION

I like your interpretation of the sounds combined with the lyrics. Never thought of the song in that way

It is interesting that certain cities in England have been creative hubs for music; Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, as well as London of course. In the US; LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit.

John Squire.......very underated.....and we all love Mani !!

Favorite record of al time ... and I'm in my 60s.

wow, never understood "sell my soul/he's already in me" until now. Thank you so much

A lot of great bands like Happy Mondays came out of the MADchester scene in the late 80's but The Stone Roses were and are the absolute best of the best. I put John, Manny and Reni up there with Page, Bonham and Jones. No Stone Roses = No Oasis The 2 albums they released are in my Top 10 albums of all time! John Squires is a Guitar God!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this song, fits so well with so much other great music from that time, the turning point from 80s into 90s.

Wow this is unexpected. One of my all-time favorite songs. Such a fantastic little tune. Reminds me of The Cure circa Disnitegration a little bit

Yes! This and Plainsong are some of the best album intro songs.

Absolutely LOVE The Stone Roses. I listened to both their albums incessantly way back when. You dont really see music reactors reacting to them, which is a huge shame. Youre really good at this; with intelligent things to say about music. Please do more Stone Roses ( even if alot of their tracks are long)

“I am the resurrection” next is a must. Brilliant track.

It's so good to see people take an interest in the music that shaped my teenage years and more. The Stone Roses are my all time favourite band and I wanna be be adored is just one of the amazing songs on that unbelievable debut album.

I was 16 in the month (may) this came out in 1989 and it was on constant play in my bedroom to the annoyance of my parents. It was just the best thing I'd ever heard. The acid house and later rave scene was also in full effect and communism was collapsing everywhere. It felt like we were entering a utopian future. That's kind of how you see things at 16 before you get jaded by the realities of life. I must have heard this track in particular about 5000 times (and that's not even an exaggeration). But in all that time and all those listens the points you made about the sound of menial jobs and machinery etc. in the beginning and the end had never once occurred to me and of course it makes perfect sense. I think I was too close to this band and sound at the time to think that far into it. Coming at it brand new like you just have it probably seems obvious. But I really had never seen those points in this track before this video. Very perceptive man. And now I'll never be able to un-hear it.

Great reaction. Stone Roses really are one of the seminal bands of the 90s. They were part of the whole "Madchester" era together with bands like The Happy Mondays, who mixed indie rock with the burgeoning rave/dance/house scene of the time, with the legendary Hacienda club in Manchester at its core. 90s indie was great with bands like Ride, Slowdive, The Charlatans and many more. Please react to "I Am The Resurrection" also by The Stone Roses. It's magnificent. "Elephant Stone" is another excellent song by them.

i take quite a different view on those lyrics, "i don't have to sell my soul, he's already in me" means to me that i'm not having to sell out in life, not needing to sell my soul, for the divine (in whatever way, whomever it is) is already in me, which means the divine is not an outside force, its within us. "I wanna be adored" is exaclty what adored is, to be loved and respected, now that doesn't come from being put on an pedestal by adoring fans, you want to be adored by your family, friends etc, its what we all want, when you're adored or you adore someone, its more and bigger than love, it goes beyond love.

Prople always have a go at Ian Browns voice live, but its absolutely perfect on this album, the sound of a sweet, soft spoken fallen angel.

Speaking of Manchester, when are you doing The Smiths?

A very perceptive appraisal fella…👏👏👏👏👏👏

No hype, every track is gold imho

Love your reaction. I felt the same way the first time I heard this when it came out.

No one had any doubt they were going to be the next biggest thing.

Thank you for reacting to the Roses thank you thank you

I love this song, it's so beautiful. Still a lot of dreamy sounds in their other tracks, but with more of a funky vibe. Really like your take on it too. For other dreamlike songs out of Manchester, try The Chameleons (Second Skin and Swamp Thing are their most popular tracks, and good starting places) - came almost a decade before and never broke out of the underground, despite influencing so many who did make it big.

I've never heard of Stone Roses, but their sound is great. A shame that there was five years between their albums, that had to have cost hem a lot of momentum in moving their career forward. Stone Roses was happening at the same time as Seattle was blowing up.

Hey Ziggy I highly recommend checking out their 2 albums. The bass player went on to join a band called Primal Scream and the guitarist formed The Seahorses.

The beauty of the lyric "I don't have to sell my soul, he's already in me" is that it can be interpreted either way. Is Ian Brown singing about Jesus or the Devil? Both work in the song.

My all time favorite song from the Stones Roses is "Love Spreads Around" . if you listen to the guitars in that song you will wonder "Is Hendrix playing??" :)

Best debut album of all time. 10/10, not a single filler on that album, most bands would be lucky to have a 'Greatest Hits' album of that quality and they done it with their first. Liam Gallagher as a 17 year old followed the Stone Roses all around the UK on one of their tours, then went on to form Oasis because of it. While not being a huge influence on Radiohead, Ed from Radiohead went to Uni in Manchester when the Stone Roses were huge and they used the producer of The Roses Debut (John Leckie) to produce their album The Bends, so there is a bit of influence there.

Amen, Jason, we need to hear more Stone Roses, such a ground breaking band. Sayed please play " Tears " from their second album, its amazing Also hope you do some Big Country, a big UK Scottish rock band that came out in early 80,s Also Super unique and big sound. Try: "Fields of Fire" or "Chance" from their break out first album " The Crossing" every song is pure magic!! Love your show!

First time I hear this song and the band name doesn't ring a bell at all - but then again I loose my keys on top of the kitchen table all the time. Your breakdown makes perfect sense. 👍🏼

"Sounds like we're in a factory..." No, that was Happy Mondays ;p

Breaking into Heaven is a turn it up to 11 song. Long intro explodes into great sound. More 90's than 80's.

Don't forget the Happy Mondays

Awesome analysis as always bro 👍

You have to listen to 'I Am The Resurrection ' last track on the album. Absolutely amazing

Very interesting analysis of the music and interesting explanation of the dreamlike quality and industrial sounds, and I really think you're onto something there. I have noticed that musical sound often mimics the social environment, and can be heard as a sonic critique of that social environment: for example deranged punk gives a sense of a chaotic and violent social texture, grime an urban, dark social texture, no-wave a dejected, feral social environment etc. You can see it in blues how it mimics the depressing social environment in racist America for black people in the early 20th century, and then it kind of evolved into soul as that consciousness began to express and through expression, redeem itself. This is clearly because whatever accounts for musical sound, it does convey the experiences of consciousness of reality, and marginal, subcultural experiences tend to be for that reason more abstract, more incohate, and here you hit upon the dreamlike quality of Manchester and it is an absolute shithole town. I was homeless there for a while and it's one big car park. Better then London I suppose which is mainly one big pig stye for the rich. Anyway, was good to hear your reaction: have a nice day!

You've got to hear Fools' Gold. The 10 minute version.

I always interpreted this song as being about ego. Still sounds so mystical and intriguing over 30 years later.

A great analysis, love your interpretation :). I was in Manchester last year, it looks like a different city than the one you could feel through the songs of Joy Division and Stone Roses.

Our kid

My memory of that time was that the rave scene was born out of the Manchester music. It was a little different from how raves developed over time. But the formula was there: trippy rhythmic music and usually drugs to trance and dance into an blissful state of mind. To me, the drugs are unnecessary. The music and dancing that flows naturally are what it’s about.

The noises at the start are of a train pulling out of a station.

They got thoroughly screwed over by their label. The extended mix of "Fool's Gold" is a must-hear. BTW, you'll often hear the term "Madchester" applied to this era of Manchester Britpop - it was the sound of 1980s and 1990s raves. And that comment of yours "sounds like they're in a factory" made me laugh, because the biggest Manchester record label at the time - one they probably *should* have signed to - was Factory Records.

You just have to do more Roses songs. Fools Gold, Somethings Burning, I am the Resurrection.

Ian Curtis' (of Joy Division) voice was baritone in quality

Fantastic review thanks!

the last shadow puppets - my mistakes were made for you or standing next to me or the age of the understatement

Good vid. Thank you.

Oasis, Stone Roses and the Hollies ❤

If there was no Stone Roses they'd be no Oasis. The sentiment of I wanna be adored as the 1st track from they're first album is comparable to Oasis first track from they're first album - Rock N Roll Star.

I didn't know the wait for the second coming was because of record deals. They missed an opportunity. It doesn't surprise me though, they're all daft! I can tell you what happened because I was there. We all watched TOTP and it had become ridiculous about number ones and the latest fad. It was horrible. The Stone Roses did a dirty "sex" tape. Actually it was a demo tape that did the rounds. These were also the early days of rave as well and The Stone Roses bridged the gap between leisure for fun (rave) and the obvious chill out and appreciation of a more traditional music. By the time The Second Coming came out the gap had been filled. Music is 100% about a time and a place IMHO their masterpiece is The Resurrection, John Squire made that band.

I don't need to follow a religion, God/Faith is within me. 'I wanna be adored' I want to be venerated as I am made of God/Faith.

The band who saved british music, freed us from the overproduced shite of Stock Aitken and Fukin Waterman If you were there you know, then my mate said to me one night have you heard the Stone Roses album yet? I hadn't even heard the name but that whole album on first listen i said to my m8 thats the best debut album i have had heard since the Sex Pistols, the ALBUM IS PERFECTION A 10/10 A BANGER ITS JUST ONE OF THOSE ALBUMS YOU KNOW A CLASSIC!!!!

Love to see a reaction to Stone Roses. Unfortunately it is always this song. It is a great song but not super representative of the band. I would recommend ”Mersey Paradise” for kind of the most stone rosey of all The Sone Roses’ songs.

Syed, just subscribed. Know why? You have a *vocabulary*. Tired of hearing people say, for example, a piece of music is "cool", "fun", "smooth" or "wasn't ready for this". Nothing in between. Use your words, people. Wouldn't it be entertaining for yourself as well?
