O knihe

The definitive story of The Stone Roses by Simon Spence

 

Based on 400 hours of interviews with over seventy of The Stone Roses\' closest associates, including six former band members, War and Peace is the first major biography of the band that defined a generation.

Originally planned in collaboration with Reni, the reclusive drummer, this book had been a year in the making when the Roses, against all odds, announced their re-formation. It is a remarkable coda to an astonishing story. In 1989 their debut album and the single \'Fools Gold\' made them the most exciting British export since the Sex Pistols. With their incendiary aura the Roses became figureheads of the \'Madchester\' movement.

War and Peace traces the band\'s genesis, studded with violent gigs and abandoned recordings, and shaped by their infamous manager Gareth Evans. The Roses\' legendary gigs culminated in the era-defining Spike Island show in 1990. From this pinnacle the unravelling was spectacular.

But the true story behind their rise and fall - and resurrection - has never been told. Until now. From the Manchester backwaters to the worldwide 2012 tour, War and Peace lays bare the irresistible tale of the last of the great bands.
