David Tolley, in Doncaster, England:
Love its intensity. Great memories.
Paul Salmon in Blackburn, England:
It is really energetic and takes over your soul. It once brought me
out of a drunken coma!
Robert McGarvey in Glasgow, Scotland:
Perfection.
Roy Foster in Maidenhead, Berkshire, England:
Would sound brilliant if it were only an instrumental, but the excellent
lyrics propell it into a different league.
Fi Fi in Leeds, England:
The Stone Roses kick ass. I don't really like this type of music usually,
but the Songs are f**king cool!! Mani, Reni, Squire and Brownie are
my heros's!! Kick Ass!!
Steve in Ireland:
I love the bass.
Steven George in Aberdeen, Scotland:
Pure Brilliance.
Jamie Dodd in Durham, England:
For the live version (especially the drumming) as opposed to the tinny
recorded single.
Tom Inwood in London, England:
From the swirly intro to the end, this song makes me feel indescribable
inside. Even in reverse it still rocks.
Dave Dinan in Manchester, England:
The Roses. What can you say about the best band that ever lived. As
soon as I hear the intro to Elephant Stone - Squire and his wah wah
peddle, I am transported to another world. Every time I play it I hear
something different. Simply amazing. THE BEST.
Dan in Perth, Western Australia:
My Favourite roses' song is Elephant Stone simply because it is a great
physchadelic/dance tune and the sound of it just appeals to me, especially
when it is live (Blackpool 89' is in my view the greatest live performance
of one particular song ever). Also i think the hardest thing in the
world is a great tune but no one else seems to think so!
Bethan Jones in Stone, Staffordshire, England:
The first time I ever heard Elephant Stone I was stunned. I think it
was Elephant Stone that got me into the Stone Roses, since then I've
been fixated with them. It's an amazing song, if I'm depressed and I
put Elephant Stone on it always makes me feel better.
Mark Fraser in Aberdeen, Scotland:
I think it's a kind of lanmark between the early pre-Silvertone sound
and what the album turned out to be like. The lyrics and guitar work
are fantastic. Interesting Hooky involvement too.
David Langley in Wolverhampton, England:
I don't have the vocabulary to describe it. Pure class!!!!!
Ashley Edge in Bolton, England:
It's about elephants.(Err...Yeah!...Ed)
Annie in Hamburg, Germany:
....puristic-pure & simple & Stone Roses !!!!
Dave Fulham in Oxford, England:
Greatest intro ever to a song. The drumming is brilliant, singing ace.
Mr boo the dancing chimp monkeying in cheslyn hay!!!
Just close your eyes and drift away, its just so perfect.
Vaughan Jones in Sunderland, England "Seems like there's a hole in
my dreams". Absolute quality in the lyrics and the guitars sounds melodic
without ruining the song. The drums are on another world and the thrashing
towards the end signifies the arrogance of the band and you can picture
Ian Brown swaggering to it. Legendary stuff!!!
Evo in Rawmarsh, South Yorkshire, England:
It personifies the very existence of the Stone Roses. For myself the
music paints the picture of my life and the lyrics, they are my woe
befallen dreams.
Mark in Bolton, England:
The "Turns Into Stone" version of "Elephant Stone" contains the greatest
drum intro of all time.
Richard Melvin in Cheshire, England:
An energetic yet subtle sound that best encapsulates, the sound that
The Stone Roses forged as their own during their peak. F**K IT, ITS
JUST SHIT HOT!!!!!!!!!
Aly in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA:
When life is shity, it makes me smile remembering good times.
Rich Filth in Chester, England:
Indie/Dance a rare combination. Who else could produce close to
the same? The Verve maybe? Bollocks.
linnéa in Alingsås, Sweden:
Beautiful lyrics, great drums, makes me wanna scream...
Mark Craig in Glasgow, Scotland:
It was the first one I ever heard and the song that made me pick-up
a guitar.
Mike in London, England:
Simply incredible - the jangliest of guitars, great drumming, brilliant
lyrics. Close your eyes and let yourself go.
Dan Southall in Mansfield, Notts, England:
That wah-wah sound comes from another world.
David Palmen in Barrow-in-Furness, England:
Straight after the intro you are just hit with such a non stop funky,
bopping tune. A bit psychodelic and a weird beat makes it just such
an original song.
Johan Anker in Bergambacht, The Netherlands:
Ithink this is a real Reni song, I love the way he plays the drums on
this song.
