And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

This song makes me feel like i'm 22 years old again.
3 minutes 40 seconds.. The Launchpad 39A of Basslines that reaches beyond the stars.
RIP Mr Rickenbacker .

I came here to post that but I knew someone would have done it already - that mid song breakdown and bassline was the soundtrack to my youth. Never bettered
I was only listening to a podcast yesterday with Mani where he was talking about how his wife’s death a few years ago had rocked him and he’d spent the last few years hiding away and looking after his young twins. Who are now orphans. It’s terrible news.
What an incredible scene that was, and the Roses were in there, shaping it with attitude, clobber, and those absolutely banging tunes.
What a privilege (and stroke of luck) it was to have been in my mid-20s during that period - I don't think there will ever be anything like that again.
RIP Mani, thanks for all the great memories, brother.
Absolutely gutted to see this news. The Stone Roses was the first album I bought where I'd found a band myself and not just got into someone through my brothers, cousins, or mates. Loved it from the minute it went on. Saw them at Ally Pally and just loved that whole time in my life. Earning fuc k-all as a school leaver, but going home and away every week, and hanging out in record shops having my horizons broadened. Loved that scene.
He did great stuff with Primal Scream too. Heartbreaking that his young kids have now lost their mum and dad.
So pleased got to see The Roses years back on three occasions. Absolutely brilliant and the way Mani and Remi fed off each other was just natural magic
RIP to a legend of that scene
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Always associate you with The Roses, LB.
I remember us chatting about them in Willesden, as they covered your taste in dance and mine in indie.

My God those days seem like yesterday but a lifetime ago.
Have a gander at this….. full of great people before Heaton Park
Sadly never seen the Stone Roses but seen Ian Brown on numerous occasions. He did a gig in the Hammersmith palais once . His voice was never the greatest but he was surrounded by some brilliant musicians and some of his solo work was top notch . Mani was though, a brilliant base player . So sad and 63 is nothing.
Saw them in the Ally Pally in '89, their breakthrough gig Dahn Sarf. I reckon I was one of the few Southerners in the crowd that night, and one of the very few punters not off my head.
I thought the Roses were poor on the night, but didn't care cos I was in love with them, and the whole gig was like nothing I'd been at before. It was Madchester, before the Southern Press picked up on it.

I reckon easily 90%+ of people at Ally Pally were down from the NW. Coaches from seemingly every town in Lancs/Cheshire parked-up. Not a great gig but like you say, the atmosphere and anticipation were amazing in the build-up.
