"FOOLS GOLD" THE STONE ROSES (1989)

It takes a certain level of confidence - maybe even cockiness - to put out an 8+ minute song. Zeppelin, Floyd, Maiden, Metallica and The Who have all done it. And the Stone Roses were no exception. “Fools Gold” was the nearly 10-minute long, psychedelic, jammy finale from one of the best debut albums of the era. Mani, John Squire and Ian Brown held their own, but it was Reni on drums who stole the spotlight from beginning to end.
