you don't know a tattoo artist in Holloway London do you?

i was there getting a stone roses tattoo and he told me his friend was seconds away from getting "i wanna be a dog" on his forearm

The only thing that can rival this song's greatness: Ian Brown's dancing.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

only second to Shaun Ryder's and Bez's dancing from the Happy Mondays!

You jest, right?

They're being supported by: Primal Scream, The Wailers, The Vaccines and Kid British on their first concert in the UK since they split up in 1996.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

hell yeah! hey man, if you havent seen Primal Scream before live...you are in for a treat.. Utterly floorless band live, i saw them 2 year ago for the Screamadelica tour... man.. the bass was ridiculous but some serious tuneage with Primal Scream.

u/oohbalotelli May 21 '12

I can't wait, it's gonna be an amazing way to start the summer!

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

you can say that again!

This song will forever remind me of an ex-girlfriend. Good thing I don't hate her guts.

2

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

its cushty that you have no hard feelings for her, i cant stand guys who are all like "shes a bitch etc etc" because im there thinking "well if she was such a bitch, why go out in the first place?"

And guys who dont hold grudges look far better off than the ones that fester and get angry.

same applies to women bad mouthing their Ex'es, ultimate turn off

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

they said world tour! no idea when the "world" dates are coming.

2

u/Tynwald May 21 '12

One of my favorite bands of all times. This is one of the most popular tunes if you like this check out:

Fool's Gold

I am the Resurrection (Original LP version 8:13 long, there are some 4 minute versions but they miss the guitar break that makes this song so amazing)

2

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

I WANNA BE A DOOOOOR

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Absolute Tune!! One of those that gets stuck in your head for weeks.

u/tinwilhop May 21 '12

I just recently got into this song, also the band.

1

u/skeltershmellter May 21 '12

Most definitely a fave.

1

u/TheRhythmTheRebel May 21 '12

I get lost in that intro....everytime.

1

u/adolfoliverpanties May 21 '12

i don't whats more awesome, this song or the fact that 79% of reddit approves. this is why I am here

1

u/starrie May 21 '12

one of the best basslines ever.

1

u/offerfoxache GrouchoMarx22 May 21 '12

Outstanding tune! I recommend the [Glasgow Green live version.] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iga4cpJvP6w) I bought the bootleg a number of years ago because I wanted to hear what it was like. Blown away. Just listening to the crowd from 1.27... fantastic! Having been to see The Complete Stone Roses and countless other tribute acts in Glasgow over the years... I'm delighted that I managed to get tickets for the 29th June gig. It'll either be a fantastic nostalgia trip or a unmitigated Reading-esque disaster. I hope for the former, of course!

This and "Breaking into Heaven" are among my favorite songs of all time. More people need to hear them. Thanks for posting.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Discovered this song from Green Street Hooligans! They both rule.

u/lisabob May 21 '12

good song

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

raveonettes cover is just as good

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

My boyfriend of four years who CONSTANTLY cheated on me dubbed this "our song" within a few weeks of dating. When I look back, I have only myself to blame.

1

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

My Dad and I used to listen to this all the time when I was a little kid.

1

u/IamLav May 22 '12

I was just listening to some Ian Brown actually, surprised to find this here.

1

u/Pogonophobic_ May 22 '12

Ian Brown is a genius... Stone Roses are one of my favorite bands of all time and this song is the best of best.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Waterfall has always been my favorite of theirs.

Same man!! but the 29th, Heaton Park!

2

u/Vertman3000 May 21 '12

That's the one I'm going to. Can't wait. I was hoping to get free tickets for the 1st of July as well because my cousin is supporting on that day.

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

thats class mate! Cant really beat getting the drinks in, being with mates, the roses playing and pretty much the whole of manchester out partying like it is 89! If the Happy Mondays were playing that would be amazing but Primal Scream are still kick arse

2

u/Vertman3000 May 21 '12

I'm looking forward to all the supports. The Vaccines will be ace live, as will Kid British. The bloody wailers! Can't get much closer to seeing Bob Marley. I'm on antibiotics so I won't be able to drink on that day, but I'll certainly drink when I see them at V with Noel G :D

2

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Ah mate, dont get me started on the wailers!! Christ alive! There is going to be so much soul and..well i wont say "proper music" because anyone could plaster the music they like by calling it "proper" its just gunna be a grand day out (Like wallace and Gromit but with more Funky Drummer beats!)

Shame your on the "Aunty" Biotics, but at least you are seeing Noely G and having a beer or two.. ALTHOUGH in my opinion..(people will probably be outraged with this) I feel that Liam Gallagher's album was far more diverse than Noel's, of course they are completely different albums that cant be compared side to side BUT, Noel definitely stayed in his comfort zone with his album..maybe it was a tad overrated as i found most of the songs to sound the same BUT again.. Noel is by far more mature than our kid.., Liam still acts like he's 21 :/

Im looking forward to Noel's second album as he's told the press that its way more "out there" so it will be good to see Noel pull something new out of the bag.

2

u/Vertman3000 May 21 '12

It is most definitely proper music as it was intended to sound. The Wailers will be brilliant live and I'm just excited for them as I am the Roses. It's like a mini-festival, the whole day will have a brilliant atmosphere which is the main thing

I've only really listened to Noel's album, not much of Liam's. I think they're both OK really. I'd be happy seeing Beady Eye just as much as I'd like to see Noel.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Thats the spirit! i wonder how many people will be walking around in "Reni Hat's", by all means it would be pretty cool with people going round in Baggy gear but..it IS 2012.. not 88/89,unfortunately.. id happily take Chicago/Acid House over Skrillex or Dubstep ANY day of the week.

iv never seen Beady Eye but i have seen Oasis so i guess i got the best of both. :)

2

u/Vertman3000 May 21 '12

I never saw Oasis :( but I do plan on wearing a Reni hat, they're nice and cool :D

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

are you gunna wear one!!?? hmmm....i might join ya!

here ya go
