WEEEEEEEEEEEEED!.......in your shoes for dissing the Roses. Shame on you. 😀

I'd cry too if I had Stone Roses tickets.

Happy days, managed to get 2 standing tickets for the Saturday.
That's Mrs Bombjacks Xmas present sorted.

I hope the OP likes the sound of 1000s of middle aged men shouting out guitar riffs.

Lucky you. All sold out in 30 mins by the looks of it for standing. No luck for me... Boo

Was at Glasgow Green, June'13. As DezB suggests, Dad/ned fest, football crowd mentality. Weather was terrible. Ian Brown could not carry a tune in a bucket.

Best day ever.

There is just something about them. Cant get to Manchester or T in the park and jealous of those who can. Hopefuly more dates and a new album to be announced. We live in hope. Enjoy yourself OP.

One Love.

Mate of mine never tires of saying "Stone Roses? Aye, saw them at Spike Island" Then when people say wow, really, that must have been amazing he says "Nah, it was totally shite". 😆 But I saw 'em at Reading, which was supposedly one of hte worst gigs ever and fair play, he sounded like a cat going to the toilet through a nailed up arse but it was still great.

Dez b - well, I'll be half of that statement...

Scoob67 - re "there is just something about them". For me, they were the soundtrack to me leaving school, entering the adult world and having a laugh with mates...I guess a soundtrack to influential times and memories...

Funny how everyone slags off Ian Brown, but he's the only one who produced anything decent in his solo/subsequent career.

Glasgow green was amazing. Was glad i took a cheapie eco poncho with me though!
Failed miserably to get anything at all this morning.

I saw Ian Brown when he was the support act for some dadrock act I went to see quite a few years ago. He was utter utter shite.

The teenager loves them and is over the moon to have a standing ticket for the Friday night. Aren't I the best dad ever.

One of the best gigs I saw was the Roses in Paris,mid nineties,some theatre near the moulin rouge,kin mad fer it!!
I got asked if I wanted to see them at the Etihad but I don't want to cloud the memories from that Paris gig...

Bustaspoke - I'd be the same - leave the good memories there. Think the Stone Roses is the only band from my yoof I've been left wishing I'd seen..probably not match up to expectations but worth a try!! 😀

Would love to have seen them before now but I think I've now reached the CBA with gigs point in my life :/

Hope they bring out some more material for me to enjoy from an armchair perspective

Is that because you're going or because of the cost? 😆

I wish I was like you.

Easily amused.

Managed to get 4 for my 16 year old son and 3 of his mates. He is very happy.

Missed out on Friday and Saturday but got some for the "oh look we've sold out lets put on another night" Sunday show.

What do they do when they've played their four good songs?

Pick some from the second album 😉

But I saw 'em at Reading, which was supposedly one of hte worst gigs ever and fair play, he sounded like a cat going to the toilet through a nailed up arse but it was still great.

It was truly terrible me and my mates were just laughing all the way through it and some students got upset at us so we laughed some more

* worked it on the fire towers and parking !!

Funny how everyone slags off Ian Brown, but he's the only one who produced anything decent in his solo/subsequent career.

Yeah, the rest of them were crap...

Saw Ian Brown in a motorway service station on the M6 a few years ago.

He really does walk like a simultaneously stoned but fighty Orangutan, quite a sight.

yeah, cos that Seahorses song has dated well! 😆

My dad somehow got 4 standing tickets so I've nabbed one of those. A bit excited!

I managed to get two sets of three seated tickets. Can't wait.

I feel the same as Bustaspoke.
I had the opportunity to watch Ride play Glasgow earlier this year but turned it down as I didn't want to spoil the memory of one of the best gigs I'd ever been to, some twenty odd years previously.

Isn't Ian Brown shite live?

(Just jealous)

Saw them supporting James at the International 2 in 1998.

Also in the audience were the Gallagher brothers, who reckon it was the gig that made them decide to start a band.

If I'd have known, I'd have done the world a favour and pushed the talentless bastards under a bus.

I'd be out now and the world would be a better, happier place.

Hindsight, eh?

I saw him supporting someone... maybe the manics? Anyway, genuinely the worst thing I've ever seen on a stage, and I've seen Bob Fairfoull from Idlewild do his solo acoustic set. (*) Did the most epically awful cover of Clint Eastwood, in which the bits where he was mumbling and forgetting the words were the highlights. What a dobber.

(* Bob had to keep stopping playing, to move his hand to the next chord. Too many strings apparently)

I just don't get it. I love his solo stuff as well but I'm not fussed about seeing him on stage, but if it's the Roses complete.....

Come to think of it that does ring a bell.

Think your timings a bit out 🙂

I was going to get tickets but a little piece of me thinks they're just massive sell outs now. Did the supposedly one-off gig at Heaton Park which turned into a few nights set and then a mini world tour and now this and even talk of a new album. Heaven forbid!

Like NW, I worked with a guy who saw them at Spike Island and he too said they were awful. It says as much in the bands biography by John Robb.

I saw Ian Brown solo at Leeds Met in around 2001ish and he was woeful. Proper pissed up pub singer woeful.

I'd love to have seen them somewhere in the 90s, even at Spike Island but I can't help feeling they should have just left things as they were...

nyway, genuinely the worst thing I've ever seen on a stage

I saw Ian Brown solo at Leeds Met in around 2001ish and he was woeful. Proper pissed up pub singer woeful.

Only gig I've ever walked out of was Ian brown in Leeds possibly that one, possibly a couple of years later..

Went the last time at heaton park. Ian Brown was actually passable - at least much better than when I saw him solo. It's more of a greater than the sum of their parts thing though isn't it. Good atmosphere no doubt helped in some small part that 99% of the crowd was off their tits reliving their youth.

Yes they are rubbish 🙂

<wishfulThinking>Glastonbury is in right in the middle of their announced dates</wishfulThinking>

Doh, meant 1988.
This one, apparently.

I remembered it being upstairs at the Uni, rather than the International 2 until I read the Roses biography recently.

I saw Ian Brown a few years ago at Delamere forest. He couldn't sing but the gig was actually quite good. Probably cos I was off my face!!

I saw him supporting someone... maybe the manics? Anyway, genuinely the worst thing I've ever seen on a stage,

I saw him supporting the Manics in 2002, I think, and yes, pretty much the worst act I've ever seen. He was booed off the stage I seem to remember.

I lived right next to Heaton Park so I heard them for free, I was glad I didn't pay for a ticket tbh but John Squire was on form

Oasis were worse

I thought about trying for tickets but having recalled speaking to a few folk who were at the Glasgow gig last year, I decided against it - very polarising opinions, either the best or worst gig ever witnessed... won't set foot in titp & making a weekend of it in Manchester is a bit of a gamble - don't fancy being stuck in the middle of a middle aged swaggering bucket hat apocalypse.

As for Ian Brown being the only one becoming subsequently successful - ever heard of that time Mani is/was the bassist in Primal Scream for 15 years? 😉
