Katalinic Posted 14 October, 2011 Posted 14 October, 2011 It's all over the Twitter-sphere, excited but worried that they'll tarnish their legacy. This. Mixed feelings...but if true, would have to get tickets.
Lets B Avenue Posted 14 October, 2011 Posted 14 October, 2011 John Squire wont be part of it. He has made that pretty clear.
swannymere Posted 14 October, 2011 Author Posted 14 October, 2011 John Squire wont be part of it. He has made that pretty clear. We'll see at the rumoured press conference on Tuesday
dinger Posted 14 October, 2011 Posted 14 October, 2011 We'll see at the rumoured press conference on Tuesday I think I'll wait for the official press conference.

Thedelldays Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 It's all over the Twitter-sphere, excited but worried that they'll tarnish their legacy. would be amazing...bet they would sound terrible
Cestrian Saint Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Squire was interviewed by Mark Radcliffe on 6 music recently. Before he agreed to the interview he said that he'd only go on the show on the understanding that Stone Roses were not discussed at all. He issued a statement that said it was history and no longer relevent and was all about a time and a place which has now passed and should remain in the past.
Cestrian Saint Posted 15 October, 2011 Posted 15 October, 2011 Reni has issued this statement. "Not before 9T will I wear the hat 4 the Roses again". What does that mean? Is 9T referring to 9am, Tuesday? Spoke to a mate who works in the music industry in Manchester. He says something is definitely happening and he knows some stuff but won't share what he knows until the official announcement on Tuesday. Hmmmm, not sure what to make of that.
Cestrian Saint Posted 16 October, 2011 Posted 16 October, 2011 Tim Burgess has posted this on Twitter. 'Big news tues. Nice when old friends who became foes become friends.'
Julian H. Cope Posted 16 October, 2011 Posted 16 October, 2011 Ronnie Maddix & Aziz Ibrahim? I would chew my own nuts off for tickets if it's the original Roses line up.
Seany S Posted 17 October, 2011 Posted 17 October, 2011 I follow John Robb's music website Louder Than War. Robb is a Manc, and the site does a lot on the Manchester scene. They claim that the Roses have been rehearsing all summer, and that some journos know but have been told not to say anything. Having been present at Reading 96, I sincerely hope that if this is true, then it is the original line up, and that they have been rehearsing REALLY hard.
Durleyfos Posted 17 October, 2011 Posted 17 October, 2011 Ronnie Maddix & Aziz Ibrahim? I would chew my own nuts off for tickets if it's the original Roses line up. Me too. Chew my own nuts off, not yours!
Dr Who? Posted 18 October, 2011 Posted 18 October, 2011 They are all in the building well all apart from Mr Brown.... lol
swannymere Posted 18 October, 2011 Author Posted 18 October, 2011 2 gigs at Heaton Park 29th and 30th June next year, original line up and new material. HOPE THEY DON'T **** UP THEIR LEGACY!!
SuperMikey Posted 18 October, 2011 Posted 18 October, 2011 Got into the Roses a few years ago, would love to see them. Odds on them playing the O2 at £50 a pop...?
norwaysaint Posted 18 October, 2011 Posted 18 October, 2011 I expect they'll get back together and make new music even better than the old stuff and will stay together for the long term just building on their reputation. Just like usually happens.
Block 5 Posted 18 October, 2011 Posted 18 October, 2011 All respect I once had for the Stone Roses has disappeared. World tour? It's all about the money..... how sad.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 18 October, 2011 Posted 18 October, 2011 2 gigs at Heaton Park 29th and 30th June next year, original line up and new material. HOPE THEY DON'T **** UP THEIR LEGACY!! This! I'll be there, but weary of that.
Ewell Posted 18 October, 2011 Posted 18 October, 2011 All respect I once had for the Stone Roses has disappeared. World tour? It's all about the money..... how sad. Give them a break it is not like that made a load of money last time. They were bent over and ****ed royally up the gary by Silvertone.
Dr Who? Posted 18 October, 2011 Posted 18 October, 2011 Fair play to them, they all grew up together, made great music, fell out over money and went their different ways, all doing well. Ian Brown has had a fantastic solo career and proved that he can stand on his own two feet. They have all made up now, and are friends again. I would want to do the same in their shoes and make the masses happy. Why not, one life and all that!! It is going to be massive!!!
TheCholulaKid Posted 18 October, 2011 Posted 18 October, 2011 Always preferred the Mondays myself. Still, if anyone ends up with a spare ticket....
sadoldgit Posted 18 October, 2011 Posted 18 October, 2011 Went downhill rapidly after that first great album.
swannymere Posted 18 October, 2011 Author Posted 18 October, 2011 Went downhill rapidly after that first great album. Not completely, Ten Story Love Song and Love Spreads are fantastic. Saw them at Wembley Arena '95 bloody fantastic if not a little chaotic.
Cestrian Saint Posted 18 October, 2011 Posted 18 October, 2011 Give them a break. They didn't make a penny back in the day. They've not got back together to just play the hits, they're writing new material. There's absolutely no reason why they can't be bigger and better than they were back then. The first album is rightfully one of the greatest albums of all time. The second album is also a masterpiece and hugely under rated. There's an awful lot of **** poor music around at the moment. The Stone Roses reunion has happened at exactly the right time. It's great to be really excited about a musical event like this. It's got people of all ages buzzing. I saw them around '89 - '90 and again in '95. I've never experienced feeling a part of something special like I did at those shows. They've got something very special and a lot of bands wouldn't be around today if it wasn't for them. It was nice of Liam and Noel to keep their seat warm whilst they were away.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 19 October, 2011 Posted 19 October, 2011 Great news. Hope to be at Heaton Park. Will be an amazing atmosphere even if Ian Brown's live vocals can be pretty poor. Best and favourite Manchester band ever IMO and that includes Joy Division, New order, Smiths, James, Buzzcocks, Fall, Happy Mondays etc Reni must have finished his loft conversion at last.
swannymere Posted 19 October, 2011 Author Posted 19 October, 2011 Tickets go on sale on Friday i've read somewhere.

swannymere Posted 20 October, 2011 Author Posted 20 October, 2011 Any guesses on ticket prices? I'll start the ball rolling at £60..
This Charming Man Posted 20 October, 2011 Posted 20 October, 2011 Has anyone got a presale link? There doesn't appear to be one. I've been checking other forums as well and there isn't anything.
shirleysfc Posted 20 October, 2011 Posted 20 October, 2011 There doesn't appear to be one. I've been checking other forums as well and there isn't anything. On a Sunderland forum they were talking about it but the link/code was only being forwarded by PM. I've now got a meeting at 9.30 tomorrow morning and don't fancy my chances after that!!
Sour Mash Posted 20 October, 2011 Posted 20 October, 2011 £55 a ticket plus the booking fee. Saw that and at those prices, I'm not going to bother. Reckon the gigs will be rubbish anyway.
This Charming Man Posted 20 October, 2011 Posted 20 October, 2011 Saw that and at those prices, I'm not going to bother. Reckon the gigs will be rubbish anyway. Ian Brown has a terrible voice, though hopefully you won't be able to hear him as he'll be drowned out by 75,000 people, off their heads, singing-a-long. Though I do worry about the sound getting a bit lost in such a vast, open arena.
shurlock Posted 20 October, 2011 Posted 20 October, 2011 Good press conference- nice put down of the Mail reporter.
Dr Who?

Though I do worry about the sound getting a bit lost in such a vast, open arena. I have seen Ian Brown 7 times, and the last time about a year ago his voice was the best I have heard it, but yes overall he does struggle to sing, but he is one of the best front men, and owns the stage. Stone Roses on stage, I never thought I would see the day, and cannot wait!!! bring it on!! I cannot see it being rubbish...ha ha ha!

You are right with the second part in my opinion, they would be better in a large inoor arena, but I am sure they will play in one. Saw Ian Brown at Somerset house, and it was the first time he covered Stone Roses stuff, and the crowd went nuts, just thinking of that x 100 = Fanbloodytastic!!

Durleyfos Posted 21 October, 2011 Posted 21 October, 2011 150000 tickets sold in 14 minutes for the Heaton Park gigs.
shirleysfc Posted 21 October, 2011 Posted 21 October, 2011 Anyone else get tickets? It's the Friday for us.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 21 October, 2011 Posted 21 October, 2011 Managed to get 4 Sunday ones in the end - not ideal, but close enough to the 6 weeks holidays to get away with.
Crazy Diamond Posted 21 October, 2011 Posted 21 October, 2011 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stone-Roses-Reunion-ticket-30th-June-Heaton-Park-Saturday-/230689384626?pt=UK_Tickets_Tickets_LE&hash=item35b628a8b2#ht_950wt_1121 Bargain, only £21,100.
Durleyfos Posted 21 October, 2011 Posted 21 October, 2011 When they tour the country, I'm hoping they play the O2 in London. Not seen a concert there yet, so what a way to pop my cherry!

Dr Who? Posted 21 October, 2011 Posted 21 October, 2011 Got 4 tickets today for the Friday, which will be their first gig of the tour, so one of the first to see them. O2 is ok, seen Metallica twice, Pearl Jam and ACDC there and were all really good gigs. Also want to see the Roses there as well. So bring it on!!!
Dr Who? Posted 21 October, 2011 Posted 21 October, 2011 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stone-Roses-Reunion-ticket-30th-June-Heaton-Park-Saturday-/230689384626?pt=UK_Tickets_Tickets_LE&hash=item35b628a8b2#ht_950wt_1121 Bargain, only £21,100. Do you think someone is trying to blow the deal, and kick the touts in the nuts. The bad thing about this is that a fan misses out on the tickets AGAIN!!!
