Spike Island – a photographer’s story

Found a nice article from Paul Slattery who photographed the legendary Spike Island gig back in 1990. Read about his experience and see some of the images he captured on the big day.
And if you read this Paul, please stop by and tell us some more!
I Wanna Be Adored TV show
Thankfully not a Monkees style recreation of the Roses heyday but a rather nifty trailer for a TV comedy pilot set in the ’90s.
I Wanna Be Adored follows two chancers Theo and Garry through a year in their lives. From hopelessly trying to form a band to joining someone elses, from reuniting with old school friends to falling out with your best one.
It of course features plenty of Roses tunes and other classics from the era.

I Wanna Be Adored – The Story of The Stone Roses
Managed to track down a decent documentary from the 1990’s. Broadcast by the BBC, this 1 hour documentary charts the rise of the Roses and is well worth a listen.
Stone Roses covers
For such an influential band and album, Stone Roses cover versions are few and far between.
The little I’m aware of are listed below, with links if I’ve been able to track them down.
- Pete Yorn – She Bangs The Drums (Live)
- Belle & Sebastian – I Am The Resurrection (Live)
- The Unbelievable Truth – I Wanna Be Adored (Live)
- Stoney – Waterfall (available on The Saturday Sessions – The Dermot O’Leary Show)
- Monsters Are Waiting – I Wanna Be Adored
- The Travelling Band – Waterfall (Video link)
There must be more out there so drop a comment if you know of any.
