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.
 
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.

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.

Excellent post. Some people are blinded (deafened?) by their devotion to their chosen "singer".

Yeh, not disagreeing there

just saying however wa*k our football team is, we still go and support

guess it applies same to artists and bands
 
Oh my fuckin good god.

What the mother funky is that? No band? Out of tune?

Listen, I'm a huge roses fan, his voice isn't the best and that's being polite but that what I have just witnessed is shambolic.

I think even if you was pissed it'd still sound shite. He was on thin ice after his anti covid bollocks but I think this will end him once and for all.

What a fuckin bum that fella is.
 
I was surprised by the twitter backlash, but then I remembered that he was outspoken on Covid. So the knives will always be out for him now. Obviously his singing was shite, but the backlash has been disproportionate. And IMO that's fuelled by social media being out to take him down.

Is this trying to suggest that pro vaccine people are responsible for the negative response to his terrible singing last night?

It sounded like a cross between South Korean karaoke of Stone Roses and a bag of drowning cats.

Bizarre how people can always find an excuse.

It's not an excuse, his singing was shit. Absolute garbage. But the backlash has been disproportionate. The guy is a shit singer. Even his fans admit he is shit. He's been shit for at least a decade, and I would argue longer still. His fans know he is shit, anyone who paid to go and see him must have known what to expect. And yet for some reason the social media crowd are now piling on.

How many absolutely wank live performances by other performers go uncommented on each day?

Social media has decided that he will be punished, and the pile on started. The knives were out.

Lol ok. Say stupid things, win stupid prizes.

Set up a concert where you highlight your weakness and expect to be called shite.
