Yep, in particular the instrumental outro. A defining tune of the baggy era. | |

I met Mani in a club in Manchester years ago, he's a nice guy | |

Squire and Mani are both good guys, I used to vaguely know them in the early 80s when we all hung out at a pub in Manchester called The Mitre. A mixture of Mods and scooterists. I always thought John Squire was cool because he had the best scooter, a Vespa in black & gold.
As far as The Stone Roses, sorry but I never really "got" them. I was 21 at the time of the Madchester/Baggy scene and living in Manchester, an ideal time and age to live there. I always found the Roses to be a bit too retro, apart from Fools Gold they never really changed the face of music. Just 60's style guitar pop which we'd all heard before. IMO the truly groundbreaking bands of this era were guys like Happy Mondays, 808 State & A Guy Called Gerald. They experimented and created totally new sounds. Don't get me wrong, I have the Roses album and it's okay but not as revolutionary as some people try to give it props for. | |

I'm about the same age but I moved up to Manchester in '94 so I just missed the boat with all that. The hac was closed by then. It was all Oasis by the time I got there. Met Mark E Smith as well though,he's alright | |

I've seen Mark E Smith around town but never approached him, he has a reputation of being a bit grouchy so I've steered clear. As you know Manchester has a bit of a village scene going on musically. I nearly always see a "Manchester legend" at gigs. Weirdest one was Noel & Liam at The Roadhouse in 94, the DJ was playing their then current single "Whatever" when they walked in. Later I was stood on a table, drunkenly dancing to the band on stage. Liam was stood next to me and kept looking up at me as if to say "you mad f*cker!", which is a bit cheeky coming from him! They are both midgets btw  | |
