Ackey Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 "I've got a big show in Oldham and one in Austria and one at the end of the year in Tokyo," he said. "The Oldham show is in a major public gallery so it's a lot of work. It's the biggest show I've done." Not often you'll hear Oldham in the same sentence as Tokyo without there being a price of drink scandal involved!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorrro Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hmmm. This happens to coincide with the 20 year anniversary of their seminal album 'The Stone Roses' being released. The cynical amongst us may suspect a PR stunt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Pants live anyway due to Ian Brown's godawful voice. I don't know what they did in the studio to make it sound good but in concert he's woeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 That's right J, those of us who went out to that chemical dump on Spike Island heard sod-all as the wind carried the sound away from the crowd - bloody awful - the DJ set from the Konspiracy lot was good before hand though...

boboafc Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 from M.E.N No second coming for Roses March 18, 2009 A REUNION by Madchester legends The Stone Roses has been ruled out. There were claims that the four-piece would reform for a 21-date British tour this summer. But sources close to frontman Ian Brown quashed the rumours which surfaced yesterday. Solo career His booking agent said they were `absolutely not true', while his record company said he was continuing to concentrate on his solo career. The band's bassist, Mani - who joined Primal Scream after the Roses split acrimoniously in 1996 - hinted last year that a reunion was likely. Reluctant Former drummer Reni and guitarist John Squire were said to be on board but a reluctant Brown was cited as a sticking point. Sources close to the band reignited rumours, suggesting all four former members had agreed to a string of gigs to coincide with the 20th anniversary of their celebrated debut album. A new, deluxe edition has been re-mastered by original producer John Leckie for release this year. Squire, whose artwork adorned the band's album and single covers, is due to exhibit his paintings in Oldham and Austria later in the year. Mani, who is touring in the US, could not be reached.

He was marginally better at Reading the year after but he must have bucked it somewhat since then as both times he was ropey as feck. Never got to Spike Island. I'd planned to but couldn't go being 13 at the time. A year later perhaps! Yeah, from speaking to people that had gone Rummy, it always goes down as one of those legendary had-to-be-there performances (Like Pistols Free Trade Hall, or Nirvana at Reading 1993) but by all accounts it was a bit of an anti-climax. Didn't loads of people suffer from reactions to the toxic waste which got dumped near the area where the gig was? I read something, somewhere about that! Note to self: "Legendary gigs - were you there?" thread idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
