Stone Roses single this Friday?

eviltimeban

That's the rumour. A fan met Mani last week and he told him as much, and this morning lemon posters started appearing around Manchester:

Not bad at all...

Kerrigooney

Might grow on me but on first listen I don't think much of it tbh.

Flint Fredstone

It's up on Spotify already if anyone missed it. Nice riff but I'm not too impressed overall.

D.Q

Not bad by any means but kind of aimless. Doesn't really go anywhere. It's like a very well produced demo idea, rather than a complete song. Might grow on me though. Hopefully the album does more.

A resounding 'Meh' from me.

Mr E

I really like it, nice riff.

Billy Mays

Squire's guitar is decent

Lyrics are awful, like something Liam Gallagher would come up with

jaykay74

I thought it sounded like pub rock

wonderboysam

ugh those lyrics

JustTheOne

People going on about the lyrics!

Did you actually ever hear I wannabe adored, fools gold or most of their songs?

They aren't exactly full of poetry, it's a few lines repeated mostly.

It's more about the music with the roses.

Table Top Joe

A fan since 1994, stunned at how bad it is.....it sounds like some crap mid 90s indie band, and I disagree on the lyrics front, they've written some great lyrics as well as tunes, this is neither, this is embarrassing in fairness

I don't have to sell my soul he's already in me.

I wanna be adored.

Come on dreadful lyrics but a classic tune.

They have wrote some terrible lyrics too.

As far as that track goes ya, not much going on lyrically but a hell of a tune.......the new one? It's just so bad on every level, it's terrible

It actually put me in a bad mood, the gf asked me what was wrong, "has something happened!"


I've tried to convince a friend many times over the last few years that of course they should record new material, I owe that man a drink

noby

Not bad on first listen. I'm not disappointed. Will see if it grows more on me over the next few days.
I have it on order anyway.

After such a long gap it was never going to live up to heightened expectations. They're a middle aged band - no band I know from that era can suddenly turn the click back 25 years when writing new material.

I'm just glad they got something new out, and I'm looking forward to hearing more.

Pickpocket

It's fairly bland, and the lyrics are just awful.

As a Roses fan, I always took great pleasure in knowing that their second album is actually great, when it's often written off by casual music fans as a misfire. So I dread to think that they may actually release a very poor album.

In saying that, fair play to them for getting back in the studio. It's easy to do what I'm doing right now, criticising from behind a keyboard.

EDITED.

Going to reserve any opinion on it, for now.

jonnny68

psheaser

Just that song, is there a "B-Side" or anything else?

david75

Needs a bridge or some small diversion to really lift it but I like it.

Battleflag

Hopefully the album is better

Sugarlumps

Absolute gash.

RayCon

Christ that's poor.

Roguemichael

I listened to the new song last night, i quite like it, not groundbreaking by at stretch of the means but has stone roses fan i think its a decent entry for band that hadn't released a song in over 20 years.

5 euro?? It cost me 1.29 - what did you buy?

I hated it last night when I listened to it for the first time. This morning, I quite like it. It's a nice little song.

loyatemu

First thought was Cast but elsewhere people are likening it to the Seahorses, which is also fair enough.

Not good, sounds very much like Squire's latterday work, hard to detect Ian Brown's input at all. The lyrics on the debut album may not have been particularly profound but they had a swagger and generally hung together well - these lyrics are just totally bland.

Billy Mays

Sound familiar?

GBX

It's not bad. Not a classic by any stretch. Lyrics kind of reminded me of Status Quo

Suede laugh in the face of your assertion.
As for the Stone Roses tune, yeah not really doing much for me. If a new band came along and released it as their debut single I doubt many people would give it much attention.

True, on both points. But Suede are hardly the norm when it comes to this. Plus at least they kept their hand in over the years. Half of the Roses were pretty much retired from music - and maybe that's showing.

Let's see how Slowdive get on with their new material, for example.

I've had a Seahorses earworm all day, which is probably the level of the song, to be fair.

thegreengoblin

I think it's a killer tune! A real summery anthem, which is what I wanted from them. To me it's the sound of a great band plugging in again after so many years and just going with what comes natural. Yes the lyrics are awful but you get over that fairly quickly. I think Reni steals the show. His drum sound is amazing and that loose Roses groove is there. 4/5.

UrbanSprawl

I see the Cure are releasing new music as well,tis like we are in 90's time warp with all these bands making comebacks.I cant think of any comeback that has being particularly successful though in terms of delivering quality music.Even the great pixies couldn't set the world alight again. Still its good for fans to be able to see these bands live that they might have not had a chance to see in the 90''s.

Corholio

As an earlier poster said if a band released this as their first single it would get no attention at all. I'm not a fan of repetitive songs just for the sake of being able to sing along to it, this smacks of that to be honest. If I heard this on the radio without no prior knowledge, I would say it was a very poor Euro 2016 song. The single offers very little at all imo.

Lovely Bloke

Don't care if it's shít or not, it's not going to ruin the previous songs. They are still epic and they always be.

as for the new song, it's roses-ey, it's not anthemy, but a few beers and I'll probably be holding hands with my wife and whatever other randomers will be beside me in Marlay

I've heard it about 10 times now and it's definitely not growing on me...it's getting worse and more annoying with every listen.

eviltimeban

I love it.

MadYaker

The lyrics pissed me off. I mean seriously it's like something a ten year old would come up with. Apart from that it's great, especially the guitar. Looking forward to the album.

One love, we don't need another love
One love, one heart and one soul
We can have it all
Easy peasy

Any time you want me
Any time at all
Any time you need me
All you gotta do is call

...end of song.
