The Stone Roses/Ian Brown

I went last night, loved it, had a great time, the atmosphere was brilliant and not many could hear Brown around us as we were all in full on karaoke mode singing along. Relived my youth in more ways than one, got to say at the time I was questioning why I ever stopped but today I am firmly reminded why!!!!

Much better than Heaton Park, better sound, not as moody.

If you want stunning vocals and perfect pitch/band i suggest you go to the fucking opera.
Relived your youth in more ways than one you say, pervert!!!
 
Well I tried to listen to Fools Gold from the YouTube video on this page. Hope it sounded better live.

And I thought Made of Stone was one of the best albums of that generation.
“Made of Stone” was a single. The album was eponymously titled “The Stone Roses”.

Why waste your time coming on a Stone Roses thread then? I certainly wouldn't go on a Scissor Sisters thread just to say they were shit.

Some of their songs are amazing, really amazing. So good that only two albums made they have made as many brilliant songs as some bands who go for decades and make about fifteen albums. But they ran out of ideas back then and Ian Brown can't sing so yes they are probably overhyped. Had they gone on to make another five or six albums of the quality of their second album I don't think they'd be as loved and hyped.
 
There's no right or wrongs in music - its just what you do like or what you don't like......simple as that.

We went the Wednesday and the Friday (yeah the 142 still runs through the night to Didsbury!!) and if I'd have known the tickets were knocking about so cheap I'd have gone on the Saturday and Sunday too.......the buzz was great.

Loads of people slag off the X Factor, yet when Ian Brown cannot sing - and he cannot sing very well, lets face it - all of a sudden people turn into Simon Cowell.

The Roses have always been about the vibe and mystique......and they still carry that to this day.

On the both occasions we were there, as soon as the bassline started for Adored, it became spine tingling. All the way through to the end of Resurrection, everybody in the ground had an absolute ball.
As a previous poster suggested, the constant singing of the whole set seems to have become the norm - but that just adds to the atmosphere. It isn't only the communal singing of all the songs, it's the fact that all instrumental parts get sung too - yet nobody says the other three cannot play their instruments in the same way that they say Brown cannot sing!!

I don't like the fact they are rags (I hate that Shaun Ryder is a rag and Dermo from Northside too - utd should only be allowed Mick Hucknall...!!!)
I DID get annoyed when they dedicated This Is The One to Beckham.......but a couple of renditions of Posh Spice Is a Slapper by me and a few Blues around me, soon made me forget!!

Personally, I'll not go to another Roses gig as I want to go out on a "high" - so to see a band I love, in a place I truly love......it won't get any better for me and in my opinion, the gigs were fookin good!!

And that folks just about sums it up.
