    Stone Roses Members Hoping to Reunite in 2009

    The Stone Roses may reform in 2009 if the band's bass player Mani gets his wish. Mani -- who currently plays in Primal Scream -- reports that three of the four original members would like to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the band's watershed self-titled debut album, with frontman Ian Brown the lone hold out.

    Speaking to Channelbee, the bassist said, "Me, [guitarist] John [Squire], and [drummer] Reni are up for doing it and Ian just needs some working on. It's the ideal time to do it. It's something I would love to do before we are all fat and bald. Start the campaign."

    Of course, Brown -- who continues to record solo albums -- doesn't seem interested. But Mani believes he can convince the stubborn singer to come around.

    Squire was the source of the band's split when he quit the Stone Roses after the 1994 release of the band's sophomore album, 'Second Coming,' to form his short-lived band the Seahorses. Although the band continued on without the guitarist, they ultimately disbanded in 1996.

    You don't know who they are!? Fabulous! Best news I've heard all decade! At least there's one band I like that spite driven people haven't hi-jacked, picked apart, slandered to death, and hacked into pieces over the past several years.

    hmm... for those of you getting all high and mighty about your band that no one's apparently ever heard of... you have the fact that most of these people probably aren't from the british isles to thank.
    and just to echo rob - you're all on computers. take the two seconds you took to type and not think to look the band up.

    Stone Roses ?
    Never heard of them or know of anyone who has. Are they like Toad the Wet Sprocket without the hits?

    the stone roses were a huge band, particularly in the UK, which is where they're from. they were the source of most of the great rock bands of the early 90's, including oasis and the like.
