So...The Stone Roses reunion then...
- Thread starter Sweet FA
- Start date
Is this lined up for 2012? If it lasts into 2013 
and they show up at Glastonbury, I'd go along out of curiosity, being as I'd be there anyway like 
, but I'm sure I wouldn't bother otherwise.
Used to love them years ago, mind.

Yeah. From what fest people have been saying though, V have got first shout on them for this year.

almost certainly be shameful in the extreme. but then if their past is anything to go by it won't stop people banging on about how fantastic it is.
and i walked past Brown playing on the second stage at Glastonbury in the past few years - I think the year there was a strong rumour they'd reform to play
his voice really hasn't improved - it's hardly there.

No, ...Second Coming is a great album. its outside the narrowly defined box that people had put the Stone Roses into.
The reformation is a dreadful idea. Mainly because at the moment...The Stone Roses are fairly legendary. A bunch of reunion shows can blow that legend quicker than watching "love spreads" from Reading
Which reminds me, i watched The Live DVD by The Complete Stone Roses a few weeks back. it comes to something when a tribute band impresses you because the singer is authentically off key. Willingly as bad and out of tune as the originals.
Incidentally, is 2011 25 years from their first release?

Now I just have my toy soldiers
stop press!
the rumours were wrong. It is not the Stone Roses that are reforming but the Seahorses

I really like second coming but it's one of those albums with either great or shite songs on it.
I could quite happily never hear half of it ever again.

No, it's The Shirehorses!
Fair enough and ta, but all that sort of depends too on whether the SR 'reunion' lasts into the following year (2013-- Glasto's comeback year). We'll see!
Oh dear, just what uk music doesn't need......more retroism
Yeah, totally. Retroism was loads better back in the day.

I'm reasonably excited. I saw Ian Brown a couple of years ago and by far the best bits of the gig was the Stone Roses songs he did. His singing is a lot better than it was 20 years ago.
I think I'll want to see them. It will probably be a nice day out at least.

To the Bat-poles!
I liked them (first album overrated but still bloody good, second album a nice attempt at taking their sound somewhere else) but never quite understood the adulation they received at the time or now. Have no interest in a reunion. A serious question: are there any truly decent British rock'n'roll bands any more? And if not, then who was the last?

Fucking hell, BBC 6 Music are going on and on and on about this like it's some world changing event.
Of course they are. It's the biggest news in the british 'alternative' music scene in ages.

It's "@laurenlaverne" if you want to send in your opinion on the matter ed
Yup. Which is why it is almost certainly going to be the biggest disappointment in ages as well. Some things are best left in the past IMO.

All my mates back in Scotland are really excited. I think somehow we're more retro than even the rest of the UK. Glasgow especially.
This will all end in tears, I'm telling you.

Turns Into Stone is pretty good as well as a collection of their earlier non-album stuff. It has the full 9'53" version of Fool's Gold on for a start.

Can't walk 5 yards without bumping into a Stone Roses fan. I am far to pessimistic to think that this will be a good idea though.

Hardly getting over it.
I want to remember them as the band that brought out a really good first album, rather than the band who brought out a really good first album, got baggied up and finally brought out a shite second album, then re-formed a decade and a half later to earn some dosh to pad out their pension contributions.
£55! Tickets on sale Friday at 9am. £8.2million in ticket sales alone from the two Heaton Park gigs with a possible third night. (Same weekend as Beatherder?)
The press conference was a bit cliche laden, mostly on Mani's part...."It's like, when us four are in a room together something magic happens". Yeah right, see how magic it is after they're all pissed off with each other.
Reni seems a level headed sort, shaking his head when Mani was getting carried away with himself.
World tour planned
Those who want to go should get in early, can't see it lasting myself.
