Liam Gallagher on The Stone Roses 🍋
"God knows what I would have become without this record. It’s not just the soundtrack of my youth, it is my youth : beautiful, sun-kissed pop songs with guitars.
The Stone Roses came out in the spring, but I still remember the unusually beautiful weather in England at the time.
At parties back then, it was always the same : I’d arrive, head straight to the turntable, take off whatever record was playing, and put on The Stone Roses. My friends and I would form a semicircle around the turntable, keeping everyone else at bay, and anyone who tried to play another album got in trouble.
The Stone Roses in 1989… I was obsessed with being in a band. When I saw these guys, I thought, this is as good as we’ve got to be. And that was it. That was my epiphany."
I walked into LA Apparel and they were playing industrial electronic from hell over the speakers??? It was so grating Im sure I looked visibly upset and confused. Finally someone put on Kids MGMT and everyone was singing it to themselves which was adorable
