stone roses at reading 96

Brown is an appalling vocalist, period! You don't expect every singer to have a voice like Marvin Gaye, but the ability to carry at least one note would be appreciated - And he can't even do that. To be honest I don't like the Stone Roses. Not because of there music, but because of the legacy they left behind of creating a none stop conveyor belt of 'mad fer it' shite from Manchester. Those Fuckwits from Burnage especially.

bahahaa!

This is a rare example of a performance that really IS as bad as people make out...a performance so bad it finished them for good. A great shame.

I'm a guitarist, and the main thing that draws me towards a band apart from a good tune is the guitaring.

But i've got to say it was Alan Wren who made the groove in this band, a simple 5 piece drum kit sounded like nothing on earth.

Check out Waterfall on live on OSM

totally agree, love john squires and hes definately a quality guitarist and musicalist but wrenys abilties sometimes get overlooked in this band, he was very simply superb.

or just a 3 piece, which 90% of his best stuff was done on. Made it sound like a different instrument at times.

no, every single member of this band was important thats why they were so good. without any one of them, it doesn't sound like roses. squire and reni are the cake, mani is the icing. and ian was the cherry. its not really a cake without any one of those ingrediants

I'm never took anything away from any of the other band members, I'm well aware how important they all were,

If you read what I said again........

"it was Alan Wren who made the groove in this band"

Wow what a way to ruin a legend. Fucking shambolic!
