The Stone Roses/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
/wiki/The Stone Rosescreator
  • Creator Killer: The sales and critical indifference to Second Coming did not help the band, and they broke up few years afterwards after an ill-fated tour.
  • Executive Meddling: Silvertone Records' attempt to get more money by re-releasing singles and trying to stop the band from moving to another label. It arguably ruined their career due to the forced hiatus.
  • No Export for You: The band canceled a plan tour of the USA in 1990 saying "America doesn't deserve us yet." That bit them in the arse later on when they toured the USA in support of Second Coming.
  • The Pete Best: Andy Couzens and Peter Garner.
  • Short-Lived, Big Impact: They managed only two albums and yet were a big influence on many rock bands of the Nineties.
