Not sure I understand the fuss.

I tried to get tickets but it was impossible.

I've never heard of this band.

I've actually heard of them. Only ever liked one or two of their songs.

Good band to take drugs to.

Great band, glad the reunions turning out well for them.

One of their songs was in GTA San Andreas. You'd recognise it if you heard it.

When can we have a Ludwig van Beethoven reunion?

The Stone Roses are an incredibly important british band. only slightly less important than the smiths, and a smiths reunion would probably incite riots but they would never do it.

Can't believe the amount of people who haven't heard of them.

Fuck yeah!! [editline]22nd October 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Jasun;32902687]Can't believe the amount of people who haven't heard of them.[/QUOTE] They aren't real people, don't worry about them. [video=youtube;pZy19QzqUKk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZy19QzqUKk[/video]
