RIP Mani – Why the Stone Roses bass genius was universally loved
Manage episode 520498034 series 3683096
The sudden death of Stone Roses bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield aged only 63 shocked music fans everywhere and led to an outpouring of love and appreciation from fans and friends including Liam Gallagher, New Order, Elbow, the Courteeners, and many more. In a special tribute edition Miranda talks to music journalist John Robb of Louder Than War about how Mani’s bass put the funk into what would become Britpop… how his personality glued the Stone Roses together… and why Mani never ever gave in to cynicism. “He was a lover not a fighter,” says John, “and that’s a pretty nice epitaph to have.”
RIP Mani x
