1) How did you discover the Stone Roses?
Hung around Affleck's on Saturday afternoon in the mid 80's. That's where all the flyers were. There was a record shop in the downstairs bit of The Corn Echange that was keen on playing the Roses and had bootlegs cassettes. There was a small cafe down there too. We'd sit and have a brew listening to the boots. Lost track of them til they started to become more known later on in the 80's.
2) What bands did the Roses lead you on to listen to?
Love and The Clash I reckon. I credit the internet for this though, and being in touch with like minded people.
3) What bands would you say are Roses influenced?
Crikey. Lots I suppose.
Oasis more than most, if only in attitude. Possibly The Charlatans? It's an ongoing thing. People are still starting bands with inspiration from the Roses.
4) Have the Roses ever influenced your dress sense? If so, how?
Umm.. No. Don't think so.
Always been a bit baggy.
5) Have the ideas/lyrics of the Roses ever influenced you? How?
No. Though they always make me feel like I shoulda been in a band.
Not much call for triangle players these days though.
