Fun Music Information -> Stone Roses

Band Name Origins:
- The band took their name from a 1959 spy thriller of that title by Sarah Gainham. It was published in the UK in 1971 as mass market paperback and one of the band members owned a copy, think it was John Squire. Submitted by: Michael Daly
- A contradiction: The Stone Roses could write the most fantastic rock song and the sweetest ballads so they picked two words which contradicted each other Stone (Hard) Roses (Soft) - Led Zep have the same thing going on, but I don't know if that was the reason behind their name.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Low budget videos"
The first video that the Stone Roses did was a low budget video for Love Spreads. The lead singer Ian Brown decided to lean this way because he didn't want to lipsync to the vocals.
