'A must for Roses fans and musos alike.', The Big Issue
Product Description
The band, the lifestyle, the revolution. This classic biography charts the phenomenal rise of The Stone Roses to the icons they are today, using interviews, rehearsal tapes and the archives of author John Robb who was with them from the beginning.
Robb's exclusive inside knowledge of The Stone Roses creates a compelling and intimate insight into how the band single-handedly set the blueprint for the resurgence of UK rock 'n' roll in the 1990s: Ian Brown's new lazy-style vocals, Reni's fluid, funk-tinged, ground-breaking drumming, and the guitar genius of John Squire.
From the band members' early years to the inception of the Roses, through the tours and success, their influences and style, to the demise of the original line-up and their solo careers; every high and low is documented in minute detail.
Fully revised and updated, this is the definitive, most revered account of one of Britain's most important bands.

Format:Paperback
I had this for a while before reading it and yes, it tells the story of The Stone Roses who I love but it just isn't very well written. There is poor grammar and repetition throughout and the later period isn't dealt with in any great depth.
The book looks great but I felt "Was that it?" after I finished reading it but if you want the best book about The Stone Roses then I have a feeling this is the book that you should get.

why did I wait so long! classic book that really gets the feel for manchester in the late eighties that no other book has. central to it all of course are the roses- one of the classic British bands. I couldn't put the book down- t refernces all the great manchester mini scenes and people of the time and reads like it was written by someone who was actually there.

my mates have been raving about this book for years, and since its a reprint I thought it was time I got hold of a copy myself. Im glad I did, this book has it all, its written from the inside, its funny and its interesting and it totally tells the story of the Roses in incredable detail from the their punk rock youth to their rise to the top. it captures manchester of the time better than any other book i have read on the subject and is amust for anybody interested in rock n roll manchester music and a genration growing up from punk into acid house and baggy and interested in the Roses making that amazing album...

The Stone Roses: And the Resurrection of British Pop
Jonn Robb writes with a very colloquial style in this book. The style does the job well - it's easy and readable and shows enthusiasm for the Band. Read more

This book can be summed up in one word; abysmal. The author displays a woeful grasp of the English language and the only way I can see it ever got published would be for him to be... Read more

If you loved the Stone Roses, Buy it !
I disagree with other comments saying it was dissapointing. This book was written for the fans and so couldn't be written in such a literate way as to exclude the bulk of them. Read more
