The Stone Roses

[Bumblebee]

There's 2 pro-shot clips from 2012 floating around.

Yea I went to coachella 2011, there was lots of Europeans and Australians there, I'm sure they will create a great atmosphere . When I watched the strokes and kings of Leon I didn't think the atmosphere was that great. A lot of people I was standing around didn't even know anything off kol first 2 albums. So I'm sure it'll be the same kind of atmosphere as then

To be fair, the KOL suck major ass

I Wanna Be Adored Benacassim(Spain) 2012 Festival pro-shot


Waterfall Fuji Rock(Japan) 2012 festival pro-shot

The only professional recordings from 2012 circulating. Blackpool and Reading on youtube are both subpar performances when it comes to vintage footage and the in-studio tv stuff didn't capture it. The 19956 and mid 80's footage is more for hardocre fans.

Footage The Finland 1990 festival fanshot camcorder footage might be your best bet along with the 2 above clips.

There's not much quality live footage of them circulating.

Some versions of the poster had Blur/SR swapped.

Metric have a lower billing than 2008, but have become more popular in the meantime.

The Smiths as "Madchester." Holy hell, Bumblebee.

[amyzzz]

I CAN'T WAIT I'M SO EXCITED! I hope Ian sings mostly on-key. These boots were made for walking The Marquis de Sade never made no boots like these

[Spooks]

I've seen 2 Stone Roses sets. One was ok, and the other was the worst headline set I've ever witnessed (Reading). Reports from last year seem to say they are a lot tighter now, with Ian even singing in tune on occasion.

Ian's voice is just shut and they don't sound great live. Judging from this video but very excited to see them finally

How else do I find out if forum members read my posts?

[amyzzz]

Who was it that kept insisting Stone Roses could headline? Was it the same guy who said Blur would headline?

Can't wait!

Well, I am a little let down by Daft Punk not coming, but that is always a pipedream.

[Inthecolumbiagorge]

Absolutely sad that I chose this year to not go to Coachella because I love me some Stone Roses:-( Hope they make some of the other festivals so I might get to see them live!

Love it, the Brochella rage in full effect.

"I don't know who they are, but anyone who says they like them is lying"

[SeantheJeweler]

Who the HELL are the Stone Roses???? How the hell are they headlining??? WEAK!!!!!!! At least I will have some time to see other acts as I won't be wasting my time with this drivel. /rant

[latexsolarbeef]

Honestly never heard of them until just a few weeks ago, but they're growing on me. It's almost as if Alex from A Clockwork Orange was the lead singer.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

use the google.

i've now read that it's co-headlining thing. i wonder if one will headline one weekend and then switch. i love the stone roses but the they have no business at the top of any poster.

Metric have a lower billing than 2008, but have become more popular in the meantime.

who cares? metric suck.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I did argue that it didn't matter who headlined and that the festival would still sell out.

[darklands]

WTF?

Embarrassing. I pity these people. I understand they were/are much bigger in Britain but it is like people going to a festival in England who have never heard of the Pixies. It just wouldn't happen.

This shows why festivals in America have never really taken off like they have in Europe.

[microcuts]

Yeah, because Coachella, Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, Ultra, and Lollapalooza are such extremely unsuccessful American festivals.

it's all about priorities.

[SepaGroove]

I like "I Wanna Be Adored," "Waterfall," and "I Am The Resurrection," so I guess I would enjoy their set.

I still don't get why they are headlining though.

[Bumblebee]

Are Blur/Stone Roses US exclusive bookings like Coachella did in the past with Suede and Portishead?

Worthwhile information to know before the onsale next week.

The Stone Roses have a special place in my heart. They were one of the first bands that really changed my music tastes back when I was around 13/14 or so. I will have a blast at their set... but why the fuck exactly would you expect the average person in America to know who they are in 2013? Seriously, give me one good reason. Most music geeks even think these dudes have one really good album, which isn't really that far off the truth to begin with. There is absolutely no reason these guys should be headlining the "best" music festival in America.
