Most Unhinged Stone Roses Interview 🤣

Digitally restored from a rare late-80s broadcast, this candid interview captures The Stone Roses at their most elusive, funny, and quietly confrontational - answering questions only on their own terms. With deadpan humour and long pauses doing as much work as the words themselves, the band reflect on fame, talent, creativity, and the strange expectations placed on them as Manchester’s most mythologised group. John Squire, Ian Brown, Mani, and Reni dodge easy answers, resist self-analysis, and make it clear they’d rather be prodded and poked than offer tidy statements about who they are or what they represent. The conversation drifts between music, artwork, interviews they’ve hated, interviews they barely remember, and the boredom of press cycles - revealing a band deeply aware of their image, yet completely uninterested in explaining it. There’s frustration, wit, and an unmistakable sense that silence itself is part of their language. 🎸 Highlights include: The Stone Roses on talent, art, and self-belief Why they refuse to explain themselves to the press Fame, anonymity, and being “in their element” Deadpan humour, awkward pauses, and anti-interview energy A snapshot of the band just before myth overtook reality 📼 Originally broadcast in the late 1980s, this interview offers a rare, unfiltered glimpse of The Stone Roses as they navigated attention without ever fully embracing it - restored and presented by Sunset Vinyl.
