Drugs are given a bad press. I admit Ecstasy can be dangerous, but usually because of impurities. If pills were pure MDMA they's probably be pretty damn safe. The safest illegals are shrooms, LSD, mescaline etc. Much safer than alcohol, tobacco etc. plus they can't give you STIs like your 'fine ladies'.
the mondays and the roses, too very different styles, what an excellent time for music. it is interesting in a way that throughout all genres of music that the greatest muscians produced excellent stuff whilst influenced by drugs
When this single was released the Mondays backlash instiaged mainly by the NME was starting to gain pace. Sadly the drugs told as the Yes please album was bit of a mess and the NME had what they wanted the demise of Madchester.
"gonna buy an airforce base, gonna wipe out your race, get stoned in a different place, don't you know i got better taste..." Hahhaha. So good. My favourite lines of all time. Genius.
This was when music and fashion was at its peak. All the bands sounds and look the same these days, and kids think they are the bollocks putting on a pair of skinny jeans and a stupid haircut. Think they are 'rock'. Yeah, jog on to your pete docherty gigs.
My god I saw a picture of Ryder for the first time in ages, he is half the fuckin size he was this time last year. Nice new teeth to. Top song bring back the early 90s.
quality mondays - it was all good in 89 and for the next 5-7 years; gotten a bit desperate since then...most influential band in the last 20 year for sure...
this is a great song.....only made better by being of your twat on beans

maybe the intro, the rest departures to a different place.
You might say that the main riff is the soul of the song, so the inspiration was meaningful, but at the same time you can also suck my balls.

Top tune, ICE COOL, but is it me or is the bass flat on this. On the live session it's spot on??? Like it both ways to be true :)
