frank_spencer Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Probably explains your not understanding it then. I was -14 when Electric Ladyland was released and -12 when Led Zeppelin III came out they're still amongst my all time favourites. Ive never 'got' the Madchester bands they always seemed decent enough but nowt special. I guess if you weren't part of the scene at the time it won't have the same connection.

Butterfly Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I couldn't care less if they're shit. All day session with a load of mates, a festival atmosphere and get to hear Roses songs. I've seen Ian Brown tons of times and sometimes he can be really good. Got tickets for Friday, as i think his voice will deteriorate as the weekend progresses. That's a refreshing attitude.I wish some of the moaners on here would go to the Reebok determined to enjoy themselves come what may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Most of the 'moaners' do have a good time at home games, a fucking cracking time in some cases - it's sometimes slightly marred by the football, that's all. The overriding attitude of most regarding these Roses gigs is the same - the music may be good, it may be a pile of horse manure but a good time will be had for other reasons. I posted the original question not regarding whether The Roses would be any good musically/performance wise, rather would the event be marred by dickheads of all persuasions* ruining the 'ambience' and by the promoters bleeding every penny they can out of the crowd. Other shitty things could spoil the Roses events - heavy-handed policing, sniffer dogs on the gates, searches of bags/personages for booze or other 'things' then charging about ?7 for a pint of piss. * And I don't mean the scallies that have always been around these types of things - I mean the new breed of nobheads that have emerged in the past 6-7 years. People who go/or who have in the past gone 'out' (as in out-out ) will know whom I'm talking about.

Matt Lofthouse Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The sound at Heaton park for Oasis/Kasabian was bobbins. It will be much the same for Stone Roses and Ian Browns singing will probably be shit and I can?t wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait! Brown's always hit or miss but a good sesh with me mates listenin to tunes that were the background to our 'yoof' is all im after. Was a bit too young to catch em live last time round but when Brown has played Roses tunes it's always raised the roof. I expect shite sound, nob eds etc but one thing that really does fuck me off is people chuckin piss. Ive been 'splashed' on before and it has to be the most feral act on earth. Also ruined a jazzy fag id just began puffing at! Wouldn't be as bad if someone just started pissing on my leg. At least id have the opportunity to have a 'word'. Throwin piss into a crowd . . . id chop there fuckin hands off! Edited May 9, 2012 by madthatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawley Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Saw them on their last gig in Manchester and they were excellent, I don't hold out much hope for them in a Heaton Park. As long as I'm doing something else when Noel Gallagher starts playing his pub rock, it'll be fine. Unless it rains, then it'll be shit.

birch-chorley Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Not had any myself but word is that they got so shit that no fucker bought them anymore so the guys at the top started to put some exstacy in the tablets again, they now sell for ?10 a piece and blow your head off. Few mates have had them and recon they are like the old old days when they first came out. You are probably right the nips are into all that game now and are probably nocking these up.

They fell off a cliff v rapidly after that circa 02/03 no doubt the elders will say way way before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
