BUTOR Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Anyone else manage to get tickets for their Manchester gigs? always a momentous occasion when they play but part of me is thinking this has to be their last shows playing the same songs over and over or it really is blatantly for the money. Wouldn't mind them putting a full stop on things after this summer because I just can't see a third album being of much quality at all. Must be a few others on here who tried for tickets or is also a big fan? After all, there's a stone roses flag up in the Atyeo every week...

'Orns Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I went a couple of years ago to Finsbury Park I've seen them now, no need to line their pockets again. Not one of those who watches the same stuff over and over again. They were bloody brilliant though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Aye, I was at the Finsbury Park gigs and they were great. The organisation of the event, however, was not! Bars had to shut early because they couldn't cope (and ended up getting robbed) and we had to walk back to the centre of Manchester because we couldn't get on a tram or bus for love nor money! Considered trying to get tickets for this, but think I'm going to be on holiday about then. I'm sure it'll be good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Ian Brown is prob on a par with Kanye as the biggest bellend in the Music Industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Although I don't dislike them, I think the Roses must be one of the most over-rated bands of all time. "Legendary" status on the back of one album with a few great songs and much filler. I've seen them twice. Once at Pilton Party. I was standing next to Nigel Clark of Dodgy fame. He said, "Eets groit to see tha Boyz!" But it wasn't really, as someone had broken into their portacabin changing room and stolen all their drugs, so the band were very downbeat and miserable. The second time was the famous Reading Festival where, in the completely accurate words of the NME, Ian Brown's singing resembled an injured moose bellowing in pain. Actually, maybe that's being a big harsh on moose! The band disbanded shortly after that fiasco. I gather less ching and more backing tapes are involved in their shows these days.

nebristolred Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Saturday standing tickets here too. And yes, they are absolutely legendary imo. Terrible performance at reading with only half the band there yes, but they have made one of the greatest albums of all time, and actually left out some of their best songs from it too! It could be even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsRed Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 For me Reni is one of the best drummers around... An absolute natural. Just brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Quite possibly the greatest ever to be honest. Freaked me out slightly when I saw your first post on this thread as I'm also based in Emersons, thought I'd changed my username or something.

AshtonGreat Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I've always been a big Roses fan. I was a huge fan back in the day but sadly didn't to see them until 1995 when Reni had left and Ian Brown's shamanic swagger had completely disappeared. I was also at Reading, which was a disaster of course. While I still love the music (though it feels somewhat overplayed these days), the Roses will never recapture the magic they once had. The flares, the bongos, the paint splatters, the attitude, Ian Brown's facial expressions on almost all of their photos. Like all great bands who do reunion gigs, they're just 50-something men playing the old favourites for a bit of cash. Admittedly, they play them well (even if Ian's singing is as bad as ever).
