Stone Roses

The Heaton park comeback gig was amazing. Backed up by Primal scream and the wailers. They were tight and well rehearsed.

Went to 2 of the etihad gigs, and they weren’t anywhere near as good

Heaton Park was immense. All about Reni. Drums were huge!

The Heaton park one will live in my mind for the best piss I ever had. Got in situ earlier doors for the wailers, had a few beers and was having a great time and looked behind to see the toilet was out of the question..so either have a piss where I was hitting all around or keep it in. Kept it in...and then at the end had a piss against a fence. There should be a plaque there it was that incredible.

You didn’t use the piss wall to the right of the stage? That place was a right laugh as the fence fell on a bloke who was hammered
 
Ok, I retract the ‘most overrated band of all time’

They were a band who made a great album, not a great band.

Your original statement lacked judgement but, like an exhausted porn star, you saw wisdom in your retraction.

The crowd that followed The Roses round the country was like a cult

Do you agree however that ultimately, from what started out so promising, ended up a disappointing career ?
 
I felt like that. Them and the Mondays. Until they both released their next shitty albums and it was suddenly over. I bough a guitar cos of squires and I'm musically talentless

I decided to become a musician in 1985 and bought a geetar

I can't remember which guitar god I'd decided to emulate but it lasted about 2 weeks.

Once I realised I didn't have a clue and it was likely to take years to learn it went in the cupboard.

The label problems that they had completely ruined them.

By the time they sorted that shit out the vibe had changed and Squires apparently became too weird for the rest of the band to work with.

For about 3 years they were awesome
