One of the best drummers ever

And now we’re old….fantastic to see again ❤❤

I watched this that night, i was on the dole so i could go to bed when i liked I remember the feeling of witnessing something special, i could hear The Byrds, they reminded me of Love and Arthur Lee, of so much more. What a cracking tune and that drumming.❤

This show aired on January 15th, 1989. The first single released from their debut album was 'Made of Stone' on 6th March, 1989. The album was released May 2nd, 1989. 'Waterfall' was released late in 1991 and first charted on January 11th, 1992; nearly 3 years after the TV appearance. It charted for 5 weeks and peaked at 27.

Man, that drummer defines the term "In The Pocket". Just perfect, and backup vocals too. Brilliant.

Great to see people giving it up for Reni! He's a legend, and Mani is just laying down solid grooves. It's hard to find a rhythm section this good.

I wish I could have grown up out there instead of the United States music was just awesome and better

I'm 73, been a rock music fan since '58, and completely missed the Stone Roses back in the day, not sure they were ever a big deal in the States. If they were, it was prob just in L.A. and NYC. Love the sound of these guys, great players and fine songwriters, too. Last month I even bought myself a really cool Reni hat. Reni's obviously a genius, defined as somebody who does something extremely well which is absolutely unique. Hendrix is one of those, so are Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Captain Beefheart and even Paulie!

I'm about 20 years younger than you and Canadian. They weren't on mainstream radio, but all the alternative kids knew who they were in the early 90s. I don't know if mainstream rock stations ever played them, but in my world they were pretty huge. I remember people just waiting and wondering when they'd release their second album. I'm blown away by just how good their first album was. Most bands don't start so strong. It's hard to believe this recording is from 1989. They were so solid with their music, and nobody else was doing what they were yet.

A song to point out you are actually alive. Run with it. Song n all.

Compare this to how any other chart band looked in 1988. I was desperately looking for good new guitar music. I read reviews for The Electric Boys and The Stone Roses. One was the beginning of the future, the other the end of the past.
