Liverpool supporter here. I have to respect this band for putting football rivalries aside and helping support the 96 who died in Sheffield that sad day. People may not know this but Liverpool and Manchester United didn't always hate each other. We had a rivalry, but we didn't hate each other. After Munich we offered our support, as the two biggest clubs in England we respected each other. Hell, we don't even remember what it feels like to have a rivalry without hate, do we? It's been too long.
@horse69outside Don't think any of them will be mate. It's all about the love for the roses and to be honest, that's fight talk what you're saying right there... Look at yerself before dissing others. It's not where ya from, it's where ya at
ok much as i hate to say it the mancs have made some of the best music ever Fact. And man utd may be as good as liverpool one day . . love this song by the way lol
Other madchester/mancunian bands worth checking out, there's loads- puressence, northside, magazine, a certain ratio, nine black alps, section 25, to add to the usual charlatans, smiths, oasis etc etc
John squire was born in broadheath, altrincham. Ian brown was born in Warrington. They both grew up in timperley as they both moved there at an early age.
I grew up in skelmersdale ( parents from liverpool ) However i now live in sunny australia and the further away one gets from things the smaller they become. Liverpool v manchester doesnt mean much to me anymore ( i support everton anyway ; ) but they are both great citys that have produced some of the best football players and some of the best music that the world has ever known. Now north v south, that might still stir something in my blood and the roses are definitely northern. COME TO OZ!!
Why is everyone going on about Liverpool? The song was written about a murder that happened at the Mersey river near Chorlton water park where I used to play as a kid. He sings River Cools where I belong not Liverpools.
@daviddinan1 mersey flows through liverpool ,manchester ,Warrington ,runcorn,widnes,moore and many more towns .....its about all of them ...forget football etc its about living on the side of the mersey
hi i see there are millions of YouTube comments but please Read anyway. I write original songs and sing , they are ruff but real, we are acoustic but will go electric for most songs Getting a fanbase is really difficult for artists and bands, still undiscovered by the big music labels, so it would really mean a lot to me if you could check out my channel and listen to my songs. If you could Llike' This
@JoeGodfrey1995 i'll refer back to the higher rate of unemployment comment (a factual statistic) to in fact correct you by reminding you that you have more 'benefit bashers' AND pakis. No 2 ways about it.
yeah love it ..makes me happy this tune ..reminds me of my teenage years ..happy days ..and even more now im going seeing them at heaton park ...get in there :)
At the end of the day, Liverpool & Manchester are both city's which mainly argue over football teams... This isn't about football, This is The Stone Roses, This is about OUR Mersey paradise (That goes for Liverpool & Manchester) Now all chill the fuck out and enjoy the music! Hopefully we'll all be able to get along for three fucking days at Heaton Park ay?
@barryboy121 Well said lad, had the utmost pleasure of working in Manchester university recently, Great laugh was had by all on the job. its actually really good too find most of the locals enjoyed our company as much as we enjoyed theirs. plus many good sessions in one of Manchesters finest pubs. Jabaeez clegg. great beer, probably finest pint of carling ever. Wish more people would speak up the north's two greatest city's. regards.....

I hate to let fact get in the way of lively debate but this has nothing to do with Liverpool. The Mersey flows through Manchester as well - the band spent a lot time around Chorlton/Didsbury areas of Manchester, the Mersey flows through both. Saying that - The Stone Roses weren't into the hold Liverpoool/Manchester thing, Ian Brown "It's not where you're from, It's where you're at!". I think that was his opening line at Spike Island if my memory will go back that far.
Great post. Love the banter between the football fans, and being a Mancunian and a United fan I'm usually in the thick of it, but taking it further is daft... both cities can be proud of our music and heritage. That's a great quote from Ian Brown... and very typical of his thinking. He's actually quite a wise bloke.
@GhibliFan1 That's right dude. Think of The Smiths, The Lotus Eaters, The Mondays, Gerry & The Pacemakers, the Icicle Works, Echo & the Bunnymen, Oasis, Space and of course The Stone Roses and The Beatles. I'm not a country fan but I appreciate the importance of Memphis. But to me, nowhere comes close to the North-West of England for producing quality tunes. That said, I'm from the North-West of England so maybe I'm a tad biased, lol!
@KernowFilms I agree cuz I'm from same area! but you forgot Joy Division! & did't you ever rate The Verve? me more then Oasis! but USA they had a killer alternative scene in the 80/90's The Pixies Nirvana, Sonic Youth, REM, The breeders, to me The stone roses were the Beatles of my generation & Nirvana were the Beatles or say Kings of The 90's, Imo much better then Oasis! but your right we are the best!! ;-)
@InMoyesWeTrust08 If you genuinelt think that an intelligent and thoughtful band like the Roses would even think about using the word "Pakis", then you're dimmer than i thought possible
@peacefrogism what crap, you are not from MERSEYSIDE then that's obvious! I doubt your a mankie mank so shut up manks are so hateful' I will always treat everything they do with derision & disdain
@asaidweeman28 shes from warrington mate its closer to manchester tell everyone you know! i dont want anyone thinking shes from liverpool. just like sporty spice isnt from liverpool shes from over the water but doesnt correct people when they call her a scouser! and the ugly red head from girls aloud likes pretending shes a scouser when shes from runcorn also just as close to manchester as it is to liverpool. great news about the roses saw ian brown last time he was in liverpool great gig
@JoeGodfrey1995 what a wanker, manchester is scruffier than liverpool with a higher unemployment rate. Oh and thousands more pakis. They dont hate scousers or they'd have made this song offensive
my world sorta' ended whent these guys spit up but i saw them at reading fest and a shooting star went over to tell me all was ok john squire an ian kiss make up and beg manni to come back all will be ok
and dont think i forgot reni iv'e yet to find a more awsome drummer since ledzep
why the pictures of the Liver building and LFC this is nothing to do with Liverpool, its about the part of the River Mersey which runs through Chorlton and Stockport/Heaton Chapel (where Mani still lives by the way) and he sings 'River Cool' not Liverpool. Stockport County fact fans was the closest football league ground to the River Mersey until they got relelgated to the BSP last season, which sadly has screwed up a very good pub quiz question.
@bekbek78 crap Tranmere is the closest on the Wirral, FACT ) rivercool's were I belong in my Mersey paradise what crap make it up as u go along do u.... how sad but it makes me Laugh
any other band would kill for this song yet the roses only made it a b side. one of the greatest summer tunes ever and i'l love the way the roses produced happy tunes with dark lyrics
It's a piss take. Her is "Maggie Thatchers Liverpool" It's quite nice the sand near the mouth of the mersey but don't dig down too far you'll find a dark black pit.
Your question was, and I quote..."Were did I say they were praising my GREAT CITY????" Your answer is, and I quote..."Liverpool were's I belong In My Mersey Paradise" Misquoted lyrics, spelling, punctuative mistakes and all! As much as you think the centre of the world is a relatively small cul-de sac, you should realistically come to terms with the fact it's little more than a dead end to others. That unfortunately, is a sad fact of life. Non the less, I wish you all the best in it.
@modmutha I absolutely agree. I do love alot of the beatles stuff, but that is despite mcartney. I saw the roses play here in Melbourne years ago and it still stands as one of the greatest experiences of my life.
@ Oddjob1177, I see your point, yeah the beatles were indeed prolific in comparison to the two albums and the eps the roses produced, but quantity does not neccessarily mean quality.. I'm not sayin the beatles didn't produce some great stuff, it's just that the roses were better. And Paul mccartneys a dickhead.
@modmuth But Ian Brown n Mani i both had the good n bad fortune to meet once ,Ian Brown is the biggest c!ck ive ever met where as mani was a top top bloke and had nothing but time for ya,Answered all your questions with a laugh etc,You cannot compare any band to the Beatles as they are a 1 off n the biggest band theres ever been , What they did in the 6-7 years will never be surpassed ,Beatles Smallest selling album sold more than any Roses album ! Im a big Roses fan too so im not being biased !
The beatles dwarf the Roses in every musical sense , But for there time the Roses were the best band around , But you cannot call a band that made 1 great album and 1 decent album the best band of all time , You just cant !!!
@1888gallagher couldn't agree more. We've all been indoctrinated into thinking the beatles were the best band ever. And it's become a sort of fauxpas to say otherwise... But I'm saying it... The roses were and still are the greatest band ever.
roses are the best band of all time thats my opinion i wouldne even put the beatles in ma top 10 i think that ringo star is a bit of a tit if you think thats harsh watch him get interviewed with Johnathon ross hate when these stars forget where they come from
@thenewfella1994: Well the guitar work and the drums are the equal of anything in pop. The songwriting is excellent although their quality output is slight compared to the Fab Four. But they have a great sound and you have got to love that drummer: he is one of the best to ever sit behind a set of traps. Bridge on this song is a good example of how good the lead guitar could be. Example: drum fill at 2.10 is fantastic. End drum riff is fantastic. There is a reason Townsend liked Reni so well.
@thenewfella1994 music is a matter of oppinions mate. in my oppinion the beatles where so big for a reason and it wasnt because they wasnt the best looking band around, which they probably wasnt. I totaly agree some of thier songs are absoloutly shite (not 1 artist in the world hasnt had a shite song) but youve only got to look at songs like 'in my life' to see their musical genious. They inspired a whole new genration and will probably inspire future generations.
@thenewfella1994 the smiths are better than the beatles ? dont think so. the beatles changed music, the smiths mania ? never heard of that, i have heard of beatlesmania though
@thenewfella1994 gerry and the pacemakers, the wombats, space and many many more. ie. the mersey beat era. Liverpool will always be the home of music. many irish bands such as the script have a lot of inspiration from the city of liverpool. As good as oasis are there will never again and never was a reaction to a band like the beatles
the mersey goes both ways up to manchester an down to liverpool via widnes and penketh warrington and runcorn next to the manchester ship canal, it was a saying back then river cool, Widnes was the best concert but shit sound for the stone roses(spike island) mind you everyone was either stoned or pilling no one gave a shit....i miss me youth...if only i could borrow the fikin dr who tardis and go bk i would. best song n days of me life.
@STONEROSESFTW its river cools mate, this song isnt about liverpool the mersey runs through timperbly snd he used to live and he used to relax and smoke weed by the river. also the first part of the song is about thatcher and how she tried to destroy the north of england
Stone roses are my favourite band,their debut is my favourite album,mersey paradise is my favourite song at the moment and liverpool is my favourite football club.I'm lighting a ciggarette and I enjoy
SR are nothing more than depression blasters, make me happy as soon as I turn the Volume on, goddly tunes in my ears. Man, are they still relevantly good!!!
The Stone Roses are legends. Way ahead of their time. I love The Charlatans too. I'm a Liverpool fan, from Wales, now living in Canada. It doesn't matter where you come from, we are all proud to be who we are. People over analysing the lyrics need a slap, just enjoy the great music and not be so fucking narrowminded.
The photo of the Liverpool Champions League winning side was a nice touch, even though the Stone Roses members followed either Manchester United or Manchester City...
The river Mersey runs through a little nature reserve in Chorlton, Manchester... Nice spot, Brown and Squire used to live near there. It's not a piss take of L'pool... Those 2 weren't negative like that. "If she were her I'd hold her down"... got to be about Thatcher, bitch tried to scrub the North of England off the map all through the 80's... FAILED.
@APublicDomain good comment makes sense that .. well done you ..
stupid mancs claiming its about slagging off another city . manchester and liverpool are both world class cities and should be proud of themselves . great rivarlry in both football and music .. north west legends
@APublicDomain LOVE YOUR COMMENT ... THATCHER IS ILL PRAY TO GOD SHE WILL DIE A PAINFULL DEATH FOR THE PAIN SHE HAS CAUSED THE EVIL WITCH TEBBIT TO FOLLOW SOON DIRTY TORY SCUM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@HONDOMACLEAN83 Whoever told you that mate was full of it! The song was released nearly 2 years before that gig. Get your facts straight fella before you wade in, some of us were buying these tunes at the time and were at that gig remember.
@APublicDomain This song was inspired by John Lennon, Liverpool were's I belong In My Mersey Paradise, So are you saying LIVERPOOL is in mankie land, Grow up he is a Mank who ain't envious of The greatest city in ENGLAND..!!!!
@rchapman4444 That's absolutely hilarious. Wether you're drunk or stupid I can't tell, but either way you're out of your depth kid. As I said, this song is "not a piss take of L'pool"... but if you're deluded or misinformed enough to believe that Squire/Brown were writing songs in praise of that city and not Manchester in the 1980's you need to seriously check yourself/your facts or the lyrics. What's next kid... Cemetery Gates by The Smiths was "inspired by" a boneyard in Bootle...(?) END OF.

And I scale the slope and hope the tracks won't
Lead me down to dark black pits or
Places where we fall to bits
If she were there I'd hold her down
I'll push her under while she drowns and
Couldn't breathe and call for air
She doesn't care for my despair

Your question was, and I quote..."Were did I say they were praising my GREAT CITY????" Your answer is, and I quote..."Liverpool were's I belong In My Mersey Paradise" Misquoted lyrics, spelling, punctuative mistakes and all! As much as you think the centre of the world is a relatively small cul-de sac, you should realistically come to terms with the fact it's little more than a dead end to others. That unfortunately, is a sad fact of life. Non the less, I wish you all the best in it.

@Oddjob1177, you seem like a nice person, I like your considered argument, you like the roses, so let's shake hands and agree to disagree! :) xxx

Hopefully the Roses will get back together and do a few more albums.
No reason why not, and they still have all the talent in the world.
Led Zeppelin were together from 68 to 80, Roses from 83 to 95.
Zeppelin only ended with death of Bonham.
No excuse for Roses, as Reni never died, he just walked away.

@modmutha I absolutely agree. I do love alot of the beatles stuff, but that is despite mcartney. I saw the roses play here in Melbourne years ago and it still stands as one of the greatest experiences of my life.

@ Oddjob1177, I see your point, yeah the beatles were indeed prolific in comparison to the two albums and the eps the roses produced, but quantity does not neccessarily mean quality.. I'm not sayin the beatles didn't produce some great stuff, it's just that the roses were better. And Paul mccartneys a dickhead.

@modmuth But Ian Brown n Mani i both had the good n bad fortune to meet once ,Ian Brown is the biggest c!ck ive ever met where as mani was a top top bloke and had nothing but time for ya,Answered all your questions with a laugh etc,You cannot compare any band to the Beatles as they are a 1 off n the biggest band theres ever been , What they did in the 6-7 years will never be surpassed ,Beatles Smallest selling album sold more than any Roses album ! Im a big Roses fan too so im not being biased !

@1888gallagher couldn't agree more. We've all been indoctrinated into thinking the beatles were the best band ever. And it's become a sort of fauxpas to say otherwise... But I'm saying it... The roses were and still are the greatest band ever.

@thenewfella1994: Well the guitar work and the drums are the equal of anything in pop. The songwriting is excellent although their quality output is slight compared to the Fab Four. But they have a great sound and you have got to love that drummer: he is one of the best to ever sit behind a set of traps. Bridge on this song is a good example of how good the lead guitar could be. Example: drum fill at 2.10 is fantastic. End drum riff is fantastic. There is a reason Townsend liked Reni so well.

@thenewfella1994 music is a matter of oppinions mate. in my oppinion the beatles where so big for a reason and it wasnt because they wasnt the best looking band around, which they probably wasnt. I totaly agree some of thier songs are absoloutly shite (not 1 artist in the world hasnt had a shite song) but youve only got to look at songs like 'in my life' to see their musical genious. They inspired a whole new genration and will probably inspire future generations.

@thenewfella1994 gerry and the pacemakers, the wombats, space and many many more. ie. the mersey beat era. Liverpool will always be the home of music. many irish bands such as the script have a lot of inspiration from the city of liverpool. As good as oasis are there will never again and never was a reaction to a band like the beatles

The Stone Roses are legends. Way ahead of their time. I love The Charlatans too. I'm a Liverpool fan, from Wales, now living in Canada. It doesn't matter where you come from, we are all proud to be who we are. People over analysing the lyrics need a slap, just enjoy the great music and not be so fucking narrowminded.

The river Mersey runs through a little nature reserve in Chorlton, Manchester... Nice spot, Brown and Squire used to live near there. It's not a piss take of L'pool... Those 2 weren't negative like that. "If she were her I'd hold her down"... got to be about Thatcher, bitch tried to scrub the North of England off the map all through the 80's... FAILED.

@rchapman4444 That's absolutely hilarious. Wether you're drunk or stupid I can't tell, but either way you're out of your depth kid. As I said, this song is "not a piss take of L'pool"... but if you're deluded or misinformed enough to believe that Squire/Brown were writing songs in praise of that city and not Manchester in the 1980's you need to seriously check yourself/your facts or the lyrics. What's next kid... Cemetery Gates by The Smiths was "inspired by" a boneyard in Bootle...(?) END OF.
