i'm in Sunday 1st July

I hope the New Order comeback gigs havent been overshadowed by this other comeback announcement,I didn't notice any reviews of the 2 gigs in the Uk broadsheets as of yet but a lot of coverage of the Stone Roses.

He reminded them of the man who jumped off the roof of a tall building and halfway down observed: "It looks good so far."

What's with the Daily Mail bigging up the Stone Roses so much? Every frickin link i see about them reforming is a Daily Mail one.


Seriously though, are they actually any good live? I don't recall hearing " Stone Roses-great live band/ great Stone Roses gig" ever . Or maybe my view is clouded by reviews and accounts of the crap Spike Island do and the Reading 96 debacle (admittedly that was without Squire and er, one of the others that i can't remember) Obviously Brown's live vocals are well renowned as being truly appalling but was/is Squire any good live?


Didn't buy the first album until around March 1990 (nearly a year after its release)when i was oooh.. 21. Great memories of playing it to death that first couple of months as winter turned to spring and what felt like the dawn of the 90s after a long dark winter. But obviously i have to say at this point, yet again, that House Of Love's "Butterfly" album that was released in early 1990 pisses all over Stone Roses' debut

And i never wore any of those fucking flares, either.

A forlorn hope.
It's not inconceivable New Order might feature on this bill too,mind.Here's hoping! I'm there for the Friday.

This is funny as tits by the way,if you've watched their press conference....

"Its like playing at the British Legion in Salford this"

Got my tickets for Saturday 30th

And yeah I do find the lack of reviews in the British press of the New Order shows strange, don't think there was even anything up on the NME website after the shows.

That's alright , get a replacement in ,get the fella in from the clone roses, or whatever they're called , it's not as if you've got to replace an important member like the bass player .......

Got mine too - but I will be auctioning it off on Ebay to the highest bidder - starting from £2,000.

There's bound to be some suckers who are desperate enough.

Theres loads on about £600+!

You're on a similar wavelength to me with that post. I never saw the fuss about them either. Like the odd tune and the first album was okay, but no big deal was it?

Mind you, they're such a great band for making lots of dosh from though.....


...especially right now!!

Bugger , yeah I could have made a mint out buying and selling tickets . Will have to start thinking that way in future . Didn't for one minute think they'd sell out Heaton Park. Thought they'd left it too many years and people had finally moved on. A bit surprised actually.

Funny how time alters people's perceptions... A mate at work was raving about this as if it was an all expenses paid trip to the land of milk and honey, rather than a bunch of blokes who made an (admittedly rather good) album and spent the next 22 years arguing and releasing little of any real note reforming... It's not as if there aren't other reunions to get excited about...

Well it was actually pretty fucking obvious,even if you weren't a genuine fan,that this was going to be the hottest ticket of the last 20 years.

Nearly everyone of a certain age was just bang into the Roses,I mean you don't have to be Carol Vorderman to do the maths on that one.

"Its like playing at the British Legion in Salford this"

Let's guess the sad, knackered, washed up, fat old knackers out of retirement that'll be supporting em

Mock Turtles
Soup Dragons
Inspiral Carpets
Northside
The Farm
The High....

Jeez, coupled with the inevitable cold, wind and rain it'll be like a post nuclear Armageddon full of sad, baggy Madchester ghosts that haven't listened to anything new or even come out of the house since they got back from Spike Island in May 1990
