I saw them 14 years ago in Cork, and while it may not have been the biggest let down in life, it was right up there.Quote:

Agree 100%Quote:

Have Brown and Squire reconciled to any degree, for instance?
Will the band properly rehearse a set to avoid another '96 calamity?
A litany of questions to be answered before this would have a chance of working out.
John Sqiure denies the rumours:

This story comes out most years, purely coincidentally right around Festival Ticket Sales time...
I was in Cork, and saw them a couple of times in the following tour, and I thought they were pretty tight tbh. Cork in particular was amazing, but then that could've been the occasion. The live ep from there sounds alright too though.
I'm not sure what's in it from Ian really. He has a successful solo career. I would go, as it can work (the Mondays first comeback in 99 showed it could), but I don't really see it (for the moment anyway).

What ep was this? I don't think i've heard of that one.
I reckon some of Ian Brown's solo work stands up to the Roses stuff..... It's a big risk for him, his solo career is hardly on the slide?
Crimson Tonight, a Japanese Import. Got it ages ago, but I have noticed it in recent years. Daybreak, Breaking Into Heaven, Tightrope and Driving South are the tracks irrc.Quote:

That actually looks like a great cover for an album! :)
Could make a good T-Shirt too...................
"I have no desire what-so-ever to desecrate the grave of seminal Manchester pop group The Stone Roses."
met and saw them in the manhattan center ballroom in '95, the day everton beat man. united in the fa cup final - the band was p!ssed but the roadies were very happy :D they were really good even with the stand-in, non-reni drummer guy. the worst aspects (brown's ring-clenchingly awful voice on tightrope or whatever that acoustic one was from 2nd coming) were vastly overshadowed by the transcendental resurrection and fools gold jams. good stuff.
Ok now the rumor has been squashed yet again, how long to it resurfaces? I 'd ay before sumer 2011
I've found it.Thats a great version of Breaking Into Heaven.Quote:
