What- NOTHING on the Stone Roses Reunion?!
Gah-

22K tickets in 68 Minutes is impressive no matter how you slice it.

Re: What- NOTHING on the Stone Roses Reunion?!
I think I just don't "GET" the Stone Roses...

I mean... I did like "I Wanna Be Adored" (but nowadays - I prefer the original version that was produced by Martin Hannett)

but other than that... not so much. "Fool's Gold" is cool, but it goes on far far far too long.

Mani is pretty 'cool' but come on - he's more a member of Primal Scream than Stone Roses now

Ian Brown... well... he has had a few really great solo songs & collaborations with Unkle, but again - nothing much more than that.

and I just had to double check discogs.com about John Squire... for the life of me, I can't think of a single song he's ever done / been a part of (outside the Stone Roses) what so ever.

and I mean... aren't they MORE famous now b/c of that one HORRIBLE show back in the day that lead to them breaking up? And I guess... inspiring Oasis, who's work is kinda patchy at best

holy cow... i'm actually a bit surprised more dirties haven't commented.

John Squire had the Seahorses. ( you wouldn't know their work because it was forgettable)

Re: What- NOTHING on the Stone Roses Reunion?!
I missed out on tickets, so im hoping they will tour.

Hell has indeed frozen over.

According to the interviews they have been practising for months to see if they still have it, and it feels good and sounds good rather than just announcing a reform and then bluffing it.

I'd go see them if Tour out here on the West Coast of the US just as long as they don't play anything off their 2nd release. That album was cr@p.

Actually over the years, Second Coming has grown on me.

The press announcement was kinda depressing as John Squire just sat there and barely said a word.
Mani was excited, but Reni was a downer.

Basically by trying to keep expectations in line, he made it sound as if we should be surprised if it actually lasts longer than two shows or whatever.

Re: What- NOTHING on the Stone Roses Reunion?!
Second coming is a fine album.

The first was their take on 60s pop rock ala the Moody blues
The second was their take on 70s super stars led zep (tears is almost a phrase by phrase copy of stairway)

I imagine if they ever release a third album it will sound like their take of some 80s phenom like gnr or janes.

Our perhaps since they've been away so long they'll skip over the 80s/90s and go straight to doing a take on ...oh I dont know.... Something between Dave Mathews and disturbed?????
