[WAFeditingsystem]

HEATON PARK.

[thewinnster1]

the best stone roses song ever by far nothing comes close

[AstorreHerrera]

Best song in the world.

[fatttblunttt]

[mopbrush1]

bob on this.

[MOTHIKAS]

Im 104. This shit aint got nothin on Cole Porter.

[JonathanBones]

I'm 96 years old, and this is fucking rubbish. Give me Glenn Miller any day. And what time's Countdown on?

[ComradeBozzey]

The Anthem of Manchester ! 

[wildj611]

Never realized this was the original version. I think the shorter one with the screeching guitar intro and the wah-wah overdub has more bite to it but that's just me

[seangavin123]

@wildj611 No

[wildj611]

@seangavin123 No? So you're agreeing with me then that it wasn't just me? Cool

[placebo150]

stone roses is my favourite band and this is my favourite song.you can imagine how I feel now that I'm high

[FatWanker1]

I much prefer the short version

[TeeZeex]

Love Blazing A Bong To "Burst Into Heaven!"

[TomthatiscalledTom]

I'm a freshly ejaculated sperm cell and I think today's music is garbage compared to this

[thejohnjohnny123]

@TomthatiscalledTom hahahahahahahahahahahaha amazing!!!!!!

[brendanf62]

out of this fuckin world and reunion best thing in music in years

[MrSimonleeds]

i'm 4 years old and all my mates listen to play school and nursery rhyme shit.. not like me. just thought i'd tell everyone.

[GriefTourist]

[placebo150]

WHAT A FUCKING TUNE

[jookle1]

can't believe i had to pay £139 on getmein.com, not chance i was missing these though

[SpireaXY]

@jookle1 Money well spent. All legends, apart from Rene who's a legend by doing fuck all!

[jookle1]

@SpireaXY too right it is, couldn't put a price on hearing the outro of i am the ressurection live

[SpireaXY]

@jookle1 I've never heard a better outro. I've seen Squire pull it off live (on dvd!) and it's breathtaking. Pretty sure the gig will be one to tell the grandkids about. Look forward to seeing your post on how amazing it was.

[jookle1]

@SpireaXY it'll be a long time until i have grandkids i'm only 16 haha but i don't think i'll ever forget the gig, can't wait to see them going to be the best gig i'll have been too which is saying something haha

[jookle1]

@balearicsoundwave89 gives younguns like me the chance to relive what my dad did in the 90s, he's had me listening to these since i can remember

[balearicsoundwave89]

@jookle1 ha ha now thats a good dad.

[jookle1]

@balearicsoundwave89 in all honesty he's been a bit of a shit one but i can't falter him on the music he's brought me up on haha

[andyishere]

your tickets are £134.50 each at present on Ebay, not pleased. Your reunited though, which is lovely!

[Spencerthedug]

the battle for ticket starts now!!!

[raymoran1989]

This is what music is meant to sound like!!!!!!!

[alexsupercity]

That hole in my dreams has been filled boys, come fucking on!!

[cockshield]

Fucking excellent to have you back boys!

[mammytone]

まあこんなフレッシュな感じは出せないだろうなぁ・・・（笑）

[dankay10]

best drum solo/intro in history possibly!?? probably being a bit biased as i only absolutely love Stone Roses but fuck it.

[yarp123123123123123]

YEAAH!!! see you all in manchester at heaton park on the 30th june!!!!!!!

[JonathanBones]

[themasterexploder]

[BDFCBig]

Wow, Im glad one comment made everyone feel they had to proclaim they are under 20 and listen to this music. No need, you show your age by making such inane posts........

[stoneroses0702]

Riverside Newcastle June 1989, day after Glastonbury finished. Shattered from weekend excesses but made it to the gig, after buying a ticket for a tenner off a tout. 350 in the audience. Best concert ever? maybe.

[bohsblur]

great first c.d. but inspiral carpets

were madchester, moo!

[doylustheboy]

I'm a metal fan, I love the way Metallica et al put a tune together, with solo's, instruments, effects & vocals, this arrangement is right up there, a beautiful chorus.....:0)

[Utd7legacy]

The Stone Roses + Manchester United. What a combination.

[guwest2]

@Utd7legacy but it's still a crap town though, compared to London.

[bendym4n123]

@guwest2 londons shite, manchester all the way.. .and fuck that guys comment City all the way

[guwest2]

@bendym4n123 Manchester's great.....if you like pies, fat slags, pikey yobs and jumped-up footy teams who've no chance of worrying Barca.

[Slapbass13]

I loved the stone roses as soon as i heard waterfall.

but i freaked out when i heard this.

[clameremichel]

Hey, that's great, but to me, it's still modern music... that's depressing to read that kind of comments... :-)

[fucknogetcorck]

which version is this?...

[Squiree1]

@fucknogetcorck original, not the demo though

[Squiree1]

@fucknogetcorck uncut album version

[huskyftw123]

[UltimateJugement]

Look at my channel I just found, those really nice bands and all song in favorite! oh and I'm 16 years old!

[chitrankupa]

some of best drumming ever!

[Silaxian]

@robjbray ,,, if it is any consolation, know that there are some of us well over 40 who do.

[WeAreTheModsTunny]

Im 13, sitting here listening to this song getting stoned at a house part, whilst all the others are listening to some temporary R&B Shit, Long live Mad-chester! x

[joelsmd1]

@WeAreTheModsTunny what a life you lead

[JonathanBones]

@WeAreTheModsTunny I don't doubt the first 8 words are true, but...

[vymmas]

@WeAreTheModsTunny Bet you're popular.

[jaydol85]

@WeAreTheModsTunny who gets stoned at a house party ,get some pills, mdma, or charlie you should be on uppers Listening to this

[horse69outside]

Back in 2001, I got a new neighbour here in Canada. I started hanging out with him and some of his mates, as they were always round there with a joint. They used to congregate in his garage, beers in hand, with a car stereo pounding away in the drive playing guns n roses. one day one of 'em asks me if i like "the roses", so i laughs and says hang on a mo, and went and fetched my copy of turns into stone. by the end of the summer, i had to recover my cd from their car stereo. played all the time!

[MrSjb1963]

@thenewfella1994 welcome to manchester my friend

[mewert]

Can anyone tell me what that marimba like instrument is that comes in at 1:33?

[steb0987]

@mewert

Pretty sure it's a guitar, sounds odd but i'm sure it is, it's definitely a string instrument

[mewert]

@steb0987 oh ok. So it must be an effects pedal of some sort?

[mewert]

@steb0987 Oh ok. I would say definitely Floor tom & Snare only, but I'm no genius on the drums either.

[MrThreshold2009]

@steb0987 Reni only used a 3-piece kit; he used the floor tom-tom whilst passing his arms over for the snare beat, as well as bopping out the bass and high-hat. He also provided backing vocals when doing all that live! Check out the Blackpool Live performance to get an idea; type in "THe Stone Roses Elephant Stone" on youtube search to see it.

[batmayn123]

this is gold!

[jamesybhoy07]

TOTAL FUCKIN CLASS!

[8dazzy]

this song is epic, amazing

[TheFrancesscoo]

superb !

[Anotherrnumber]

my freind just linked me to that fucking rebbeca black song

have to listen to this to clean my ears with somthing brilliant......

[growrust]

my ears are getting hiiiiigh!!!

[STUKAY]

Reni has got to be one of the greatest drummers ever? Stone Roses will always be my favourite band ever!!

[oasislfc1]

the greatest song, by the greatest band ever!!!

[dreamweaver78]

@oasislfc1 i totally agree!!

[weirdunclebob]

Wow, I've never heard this version before and I likes it! I bought the album as soon as it came out and never much listened to radio so this is great! Thanks =)

[domk77]

I REMEMBER SHAKIN MY MOPTOP TO THIS WHEN I HAD HAIR LOL MINT !

[placebo150]

I am 17 and stone roses are my favourite band,I remember listening to "elephant stone" last summer and tears were coming out of my eyes no matter how hard I tried not to cry

[whitebigpolarbear]

quite simply the greatest band of all time

[paulph12002]

Only Reni can play this, and I don't think they ever played it live again after he left the band. Imagine Robbie Maddix trying to play this, he just wouldn't have a clue.

[tew2007]

This song would make an impact today. It still sounds as fresh as ever. Different gravy.

[joaquin8996]

¡¡EN MADRID!!¡¡EN MADRID!!¡¡EN MADRID!!.

[arabianzeppelin]

Can't find one person that likes this band in my school. Full of fucking hipsters....

[humpmastajoe16]

@arabianzeppelin what is a hipster?

[ozziewall]

@arabianzeppelin same mate, all mine are into the shitty chart music of today, i think ill stick to the the stone roses and oasis thanks.

[jasonharris88]

greatest band ever hands down!! too bad ian browns voice is shit now! THE STONE ROSES

[samakaglen]

Summer tune. Fucking mesmeric track. Sends shivers down my spine.

[pool412]

I'm 16 and the roses are immense

[MrBluremi]

Their finest moment and its not even on the album!

[MountErrigal]

It seems like there’s a hole

In my dreams

In my dreams

In my dreams

The best

[sharpo88]

@MountErrigal or so it seems 

[acousticjamsesh]

I should of been born in 1970 or summit not 1994 :(, no theres only a small group of us who enjoy quality music like this in todays society

[Hankscorpio66]

One of the best intro's of a song......ever!

[Kelly14UK]

Good trippy 12" mix, and though it misses out on that definitive wah intro, it's the real version for me : )

[bendym4n123]

me mates dad used to work with squire when he was propa young working in the pub, always tells us about how he used to come in going "Aww eyar pal sorry im late just been out with the band written some proper fucking sweet riffs you should here them the-" shortly followed by "shut up and get to work john" also mani nearly ran over me pal from college not so long ago haha ian i see you everywhere but yet to find reni and see what mischief hes up to nowadays!!

[Motorhed95]

I've read this off an earlier comment on this video; but there truly is ONE word to describe this;

Sublime.

I'm 16.

[paulph12002]

@Motorhed95 Yes, sublime really is the only word that can describe this track, especially Reni's drumming. It's definitely one of their best, especially this long version.

[ianbrownish]

no band will ever beat theese , all mega musicians with a unique sound with great lyrics n there cool as fuck

[oasisrockerross]

@robjbray im 17 these days its all about stone roses, oasis and the beatles. Though 2011 with Brother, the vaccines and beady eye is looking top!

[jamieboii1000]

im 18 and been into the stones for around 5 years nw they are just amazin no modern day band could produce better MUSIC

[scootex1912]

As good today as it was back then!!

[spyrosfab4]

The 20 or something songs they released during the 88-90 period,were as good as the beatles.It's a shame they couldn't keep it going.....

[Latorix]

Those were the days :).Even after all these years it's still a pleasure to listen to the Stone Roses...I still have these on vinyl :)

[rupertcole]

Pure quality.

This is real music you know. This is authentic.

[mattbutl3r]

Happiest song ever written. God bless the Stone Roses.

[Utd7legacy]

I listen to this before every Manchester Utd game that I watch, kinda' puts me in the mood. It's a ritual

[TheBoody15]

Imo great bands last for ever,the thing is that "singers" like justin bieber or whatever will be always on top.

[spudnik08]

This version is off the turns into stone album..

[lolwut121]

holy shit!!! what fucking version is this?! its not the one on my cd :O THIS IS AMAZING

[ganjisgrim]

the only song to make me homesick, the true sound of manchester in the day

:D

[djs88]

Damn, I wish I was born 20 years earlier so I could of seen these live at the Hacienda on a good E....... But instead I'm from a generation that happy slap defencles old woman whilst listening to an overpaid rapper.......

Oh Britania, what have thee become?

[yougottaloveit100]

@djs88 i feel the same mate, u never no there could be a revolution soon, the industry needs 1, check out some of the acoustic tunes we put on my channel if u get the chance, try laughing away, the stone roses are 1 of our biggest influences, rate or slate cheers !

[tmrockitman]

seams like there's a hole in my dreams.. aint that the truth!.

[ParallelRapturez]

The Monkey King Forever

[willchan1963]

Rose forever!

[Noelgallagher290567]

Hope this kind of music will come back soon, I am 16 and I think is a shame what radios make us listen.. I reckon it was amazing 20 years ago, music was better, life was better, world maybe was better..

[steveoxo]

well said triplex808 !!!

[djs88]

Amazing, I want this played at my funeral!

[ReddersRPM]

Im under 20, and I live off it!

[robjbray]

I am once again trying to leave my flat, but instead I am swaggering about (proberly in quite an embassing way )

pretending to be on stage whilst in nostalgia mode.

I hope the under 20,s listen to this stuff sometimes

[narlybabe]

@robjbray i'm 14 ^^ love this band

[jake29032903]

@robjbray i'm 18 and kick myself for not being born earlier!

[SilentBombr]

[88voodooray]

[clameremichel]

@Jeffersisalegend

Hey, that's great, but to me, it's still modern music... that's depressing to read that kind of comments... :-) I'm only 33, and I listened to the stone roses when I was 14.

[shockzrock]

@robjbray Going to be 18 next Tuesday. I heard of these guys off of Seven Ages of Rock and once I started listening to them, I never stopped. =D

[HipsterVicious]

@robjbray i am under 20 (16) :D and I'm listening to Stone GOD Roses (:

[matrags]

@robjbray haha...I know exactly what you mean mate I do the same thing all the time. Keep on swaggering.

[chalum30]

@robjbray i can relate to that on so many levels :L

[EtAlorsOnDanse]

@robjbray the under 20s most certainly do (:

[AcidHouseMatt]

@robjbray All the time im 17 listen to lots of 80's.. I grew up on the stone roses. There the reason I play the Guitar and drums.

[Noodles37UK]

@chrisrougue Lol!

[MrScr3wy]

@robjbray Sometimes? Try once in the morning, twice in the afternoon and 50 at dinner.

[jaydol85]

@robjbray Its crazy what you can do with the Roses a can of lynx and sometimes a mirror

[BennettRoses]

@robjbray Course we fucking listen to it, im 14 and live off of The stone roses, oasis, OCS, La's, Verve, Happy Mondays, The Beatles, The Jam, The Who, The Specials, Small Faces! Fuck modern music, no one can ever do what these bands did ever again

[1971mofo]

How can their possibly be 3 dislikes on a tune of this calibre, unfortunately for us there are 3 people of unsound mind, walking our streets. Scary thought that.

[ROSECROIX21]
