On the day that we discovered that, quelle surprise, a Stone Roses reunion isn’t going to happen (Mani: “Two old friends meeting up after 15 years to pay their respects to my mother does not constitute the reformation of the Stone Roses. Please fuck off and leave it alone. It isn’t true and isn’t happening”), here’s something from the very bottom of the John Squire cabinet of curiosities: 1997 The Seahorses single, “Love me and Leave Me”.
I, like everyone else I knew, loved the Stone Roses. Even to the point of actively enjoying The Second Coming. Yes, yes, I know, bloated claptrap and whatever, but “I’m gonna break right into heaven” and all that. I always had a soft spot for John Squire and his incessant noodly guitar stylings. It was the mid-90′s and that was cool.
