[Closed] Stone Roses new single . . .

It must've leaked by now!

It'll be crap.

Really crap.

Sorry.

😐

It'll either be crap or sound like every other stone roses track, so it'll be crap either way 🙂

Where the Stone Rose anything other than crap?

At best one hit wonders.

You're thinking of the Venga Boys.

Where the Stone Rose anything other than crap?

Harsh.

New single will be crap simply because of the wave of expectation. It'll never live up to the promise/hype, because things never do!

I'm really hoping that it is good but have a horrible feeling that it won't match the lofty expectations.

Fingers crossed for the former

Oi!

Don't diss the Vengaboys!

Never got on board with the whole Stone Roses thing, but it seems to be the one band most people of my age (40) seem to identify with

I did like Ian Browns solo stuff though and the tracks he did with Unkle

Fingers crossed!

I'd be really surprised if it wasn't crap. People who still wear bucket hats and say 'aah kid' will buy it though.

I hope it is decent though, I liked the Stone Roses first album and Fools Gold.

I hope it's not massively over produced idea free zone like an Browns late stuff. I hope it's not a plodding indie idea free zone like all of squires post roses stuff. I have a faint hope that with Reni on drums it'll at least have some drive. It's the hope that kills you isn't?

They should just release the full length version of I Am The Resurrection and be done with it.

I don't think it'll be [i]crap[/i], just not very interesting. I find it's damn rare for over 50s to make interesting music.

Don't care if it's shite. It's new shite and shall be listened to til it is liked. One love peeps.

LOL! Nice on, Scoob!

They've had long enough to make it brilliant, let's hope they've worked hard and it's awesome. I'm secretly very hopeful.

Jekkyl +1

Even though I don't find him remotely interesting, I'd tell him he's [i]damn rare[/i].

I'm not expecting anything. It's rare for anything to live up to the hype these days. Musical releases just aren't the event they once were (in my life anyway, not necessarily everyone else's). I remember being underwhelmed by Love Spreads but equally realise how much it grew on me subsequently, as did the whole of The Second Coming over time. Indeed, I'd say now that Love Spreads is one of their finest tracks. So there you go, listen, like it, don't like it, but don't listen to self-proclaimed musos telling you how uninteresting it is...some of them even before they've heard it, they're [i]that[/i] sure.

Oh, and I'll be in the Etihad in June, singing away to my heart's content remembering times with less worries, when we didn't really give a **** about important stuff, when "I Am The Resurrection" seemed like one of the greatest songs ever written (I realise it's not, but it was of its time) and music could never get any better than this. I'll probably text binners to check just how much of a haze he's in too. 😀

Leonard Cohen's on the phone, he wants to have a word...

It'll be a long, dreary word, though.

Another one hoping for something good!

I tell you, it is utterly amazing.
Not the song - the fact that they've managed to keep it from being leaked!
Makes it quite exciting to wait for release time 🙂

I fear it will be a disappointment. How can it not be after all these years?
The roses' first album was THE soundtrack to my days at uni and I was one of the faithful at spike island. Also got a ticket for the etihad in June. However I'll be taking the wife and teenage kids so it won't be quite the same experience as the last (only) time I saw them live. The new music will be great I hope, but it can't possibly mean as much to me as Sally cinnamon to fools gold did.
Second coming was shit though.

I'll be *ed out of my head Bravisimo. If you find me, I'll give you a massive hug! 🙂

You have to view the Roses through the context of the time, and through a haze of weapons grade MDMA. They marked the end of a decade of Thatcherism, miserable post-industrial decline, mass unemployment, football hooliganism and night clubs called Rumours, stacked full of nobheads out for a fight, and playing absolutely *ing awful mainstream 80's shite!!! And they became the poster boys for what came next. The antithesis of all that soul-destroying bollocks! And Manchester briefly became the absolute bestest place on the planet to be! Though the details of the next few years are a bit sketchy! 😉 I seem to recall that generally it was all a frightfully wizard wheeze

They can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. Best musicians and songwriters of their generation, and unfeesably cool!

So there! 😛

Annie Mac is playing waterfall on R1 right now... First play before 8 [u]apparently....[/u]

Not sure I can manage listening to Radio 1 until they come on...

It's a tough ask....

lol

It's an absolute stinker

I love a cliché, me 🙁

Yup. It's awful.

Let's hope it's a grower as I am distinctly underwhelmed.

Dear god. I hate being right sometimes 🙁

Just playing it on 6music.

Hmmmm.... Don't mind it instrumentally but not not keen on the lyrical content. Still better than second coming / led zeppelin sound alike stuff

As good as anything on 2nd coming

Can't help thinking of the muskerhounds and now I have the theme stuck in my head. Your welcome.

muskerhounds

bastard.

I'd like to just retract my previous 'they can do no wrong' statement.

That really is bloody awful! It sounds like a gang of sixth formers have recorded it in one of their bedrooms! 😥

Since 8ish, the thread's turned a bit ugly. 😆

Those lyrics are deep, really cut to the bone. 🙂
I iz dissapoint.

I quite like it...

IGMC

If I was a muso, I might say how uninteresting it is 😆

You can listen here if you have a proxy/vpn thingy

(and not-easily-offended ear'oles)

It's a tad repetitive.
