Noel and Liam Gallagher talking about what The Stone Roses meant to them.
Noel Gallagher
Timing is everything in music; The Stone Roses album came out bang on midday
on the right day in right year in the right decade- unbelievable timing. When
it came out I just thought “at last!” We used to go and see them all the
time and I thought “I want that set list recorded as a record so I can play
it at home”. So it was kind of a relief- it was so long in the making –
we'd been waiting five years for it!
Obviously it's their finest ever moment. If I only recorded two albums and
one of them was this debut album, I would be fucking pleased with that.
The whole album is so well executed. It's the exact expression of what that
group was about. It was so fucking on the money that it could have been
recorded tomorrow morning.
If you want to know what British pop music sounded like in 1989 then put that
album on and if you want to know what great classic British pop music is all
about in the bigger picture, you should put it on as well- it’s an amazing
feat to capture the time of the late 80s and then 20 years later you can still
put it on and it still sounds right. It still says what’s great about British
music.
Musically its painting pictures from a time, and I don’t just mean 1989- it
also harks back to the 60’s that I am obsessed with, yet still without being
retro.
They could have only come from Manchester. The attitude and the swagger is
one thing, the clothes is another, but to make music that is so of its fucking
time, but that is also timeless could only happen in Manchester – it just
doesn’t really happen anywhere else. This album, and the band, have achieved
mythical status. They inspired us.
Liam Gallagher
The first time music that ever did anything for me was when I heard The Smiths
and then I saw The Stone Roses at the International II just before the album
came out and I thought, Yes! That’s here today, in my face, I can go with
that. Morrissey was a bit weird for me, but Ian Brown was more of a lad. Him
and John Squire were just lads, straight off the street, making this
incredible music, and it really appealed to me.
Everything just felt right that night and I went home and dreamt of being in
my own band.
