Ian Brown

What the fuck was that all about in Leeds last night , people calling it karaoke

I saw Ian Brown in about 2006 and thought he was past it and an absolute shambles so god knows why anyone would be daft enough to go and watch him now.

Can't say I ever really got the hype around the Stone Roses anyway tbh. Before my time maybe. Oasis and James were a million times better.

Ians never been a good voice live. But that is shambolic

The tour hasn’t started well…

that's like one of those seriously bad auditions for x factor

Simple fact is that he’s a fucking shit live singer and always has been. I find it utterly astonishing how anyone can defend his singing but there are those that do just that. It’s possible to be fans of his music and that of the Stone Roses - that first Roses album is a studio masterpiece IMO and some of his solo stuff is decent - but also be critical of his live performances. I saw the Roses at the Etihad in 2016 and he escaped a lot of scrutiny simply because the crowd were bailing him out by singing over him but if you get a gig where the crowd aren’t as up for it then you truly get to hear how shite he is.

I honestly don’t get the blind loyalty of some music fans. If City play shit, then we’ll pretty much all admit that we played shit. If your favourite singer/band puts in a wank performance, some fans just can’t own up to it.

If Pete Best was the unluckiest person in the history of rock and roll then Ian Brown must be the luckiest seldom has anyone so talentless been heralded to the extent he has. It's almost cultish the way some middle aged samba wearing blokes worship him. And if we can go on about Carragher and his fake OTT scouse accent Brown along with Terry Christian have the most affected Mancunian accents and Brown isn't even from Manchester.

But you would still go and support every week ?

He generally always does escape scrutiny, i wonder how such a talented drummer as Reni feels when he sees him upfront in full flow.

Couldn't agree more.

Yeah mate - just as I would with most of my favourite bands even if they put in a below par performance. I’m not sure what your comment is getting at Mark - I’m just calling out Brown’s wank live singing and how some fans don’t want to admit it. It’s the same as some deluded **** saying we put in a fantastic display when we got turned over in the CL final against Chelsea.
