Read elsewhere he's pretty much signed on the dotted line.

Ian Brown's people deny it, and say he is working on his new album

at Max Spielman's

Hope it doesn't happen...

 

Some things are best left alone..

Mixed feelings

 

It would be fantastic to take that trip back down memory lane and forget the horrors of growing up.

 

However

 

They were always a bit shit live, no argument. The gigs would have to be simply EPIC to be good value and I fear they would be a bit w???k. Also, I AM a grown up and maybe, as posted by the judge, some things are just best left.

 

I'd still fork out too much for a ticket, mind, which is all I think they're arsed about.

When I saw the title I thought Jade Goody had died.

 

Ah well, maybe tomorrow.....

I'd have thought that about the Sex Pistols - but find anyone who saw them at the MEN the other year who didn't have a cracking night out. It was a trip down memory lane and a feckin' good one at that.

 

You just know when the dry ice lifts and those four are on stage and you can hear the open bars of Mani's bass-line to Adored slowly creeping up on you - your hair will stand on the back of your neck and you'll think - "f?ckin' yessssss!!!!"

The rumour I heard is that their first appearance will be at Man V Cancer with Puressence and ... DUFFY(WTF?)

Thinking about it, its probably b?llsh?t all over again. Keeps Ian Brown's records selling and look at the publicity John Squire's art exhibition in Oldham has now received. Haha! Their publicists are not daft!

Once sat next to him on a flight. People kept asking him for his autgoraph. Didn't have a scooby who he was. Looked like he needed a good wash IMO

Can I just add, to anyone under 25 that when the Stone Roses first appeared on the scene it wasn't actually cool to like them.

 

Not unless you were a student type anyway.

 

Proper lads, like the one Ian Brown tries so hard to play, where too busy E munching and breaking into warehouses to hold illegal rave parties.

 

In fact, the whole Madchester thing was very overrated.

The Madchester thing was a load of bollox - but the Stone Roses were about way before all that.

 

And its got FOOK ALL to do with being cool, it was all about the tunes.

 

Personally I hope they don't reform, would sully the memory a bit and I'll tell our Ian that next time I bump into him in Sainsburys.

He shops at Sainsburys? That's his street cred gone down a mile already!

Had him down as an M&S man myself.

I just found it rather strange that virtually every student type in the country had a poster on their wall of SR.

 

Everyone of 'em trying so hard to belong.

 

That's probably what made me detest 'em so much.(oh, and their wafty jeans)

Think you may have him confused with the Gallaghers. Being sullen in interviews and pouting at cameras is hardly "being a lad"

 

Right about the rest of it though.

They weren't wearing the wafty jeans when the first album was released - all that bollox came later.

 

As for me, was into them from the off but never bought a Joe Bloggs top, pair of flares or the dafty little Reni hat. As I said it was about the music for me, not the rest of the shyte that followed them.

 

In fact I was a bit gutted when they got popular because up until then it was like they were my little secret.

Spike Island was sh?te. So fingers crossed they stay away from outdoor gigs.

Back in the day at Student Ritzy, they played Elephant Stone and So Young as the DJ used to work at the Hacienda apparently. There were 3 of us on the dance floor. At that time The Smiths were the dance floor filler.

 

About a week later, and I'm not exagerating, Student Ritzy was packed out and about a third of the place were wearing Roses t-shirts. They exploded.

 

Went to Blackpool, it was a bit wank. No support and a DJ playing shit. The place was fcuking sweltering. Ticket was ?5.50 from X Record, bet it's slightly more if they ever play again.

But they had a package.

They had trendy looking t-shirts.

A good album.

Attitude.

Always getting up to mischief with the authorities.

Young lads in a band doing what they wanted.

People could relate to that.

None of my mates were students - all of them liked the Roses.

ive seen ian brown twice in the last few years - hes the worst live vocalist ive ever heard - dog shit ( white dog shit )at that !

Yes he can be shockingly bad, but sometimes he can be pretty good too.
