Anyone see the news on nme.com this morning?

Hurrah! Ian Brown does some Roses songs. That is cool, cool, cool.

(i mean, you'd still have to sit through lots of silly ian brown solo material to hear them, right?)

Ian Brown "sang" Stone Roses songs at Reading 1996 with what basically became his band. It was terrible. I can't see how the passage of time will make this prospect any better.

No - he only did his solo stuff for the encore and his solo stuff is fab too. Brownie rocks!

Single 's', double 'r'.

Ian Brown headlining V2002 is one of the most effortlessly horrible live performances I've ever been forced to watch. No Stone Roses songs could have made it anything like enjoyable

brown had 3, maybe 4 good singles. the albums were poo. live setting is not the best place to appreciate brown's moments of excellence, though, his singing is ass.

The Stone Roses DVD ably demonstrates two key things about them; a, Beni was an amazing drummer, and b, Brown cannot fucking sing.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 26 July 2004 13:36 (twenty-one years ago)

was Reni a Beni tied to a tree?

DJ Mencap - then you missed him at V98 then? it made my ears cry

Who cares if he can or cannot sing? He's more interesting and iconic than most of your loser lead singers around today.

― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 26 July 2004 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha tell me who you think "my" loser lead singers are then

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Monday, 26 July 2004 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Dude, judging from The Libertines thread you like Tricky don't ya?

― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 26 July 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

um, tricky's not really a "singer", is he? more like wierd rapper-tom waits hybrid....

This is I Love Music not I Love James Dean.

On that point I disagree.

anyone thought it was amusing that Ian Brown was playing at a National Trust property considering his years of anti-English-establishment political rhetoric that made him the icon of the Republic of Mancunia lot?

― robin carmody (robin carmody), Monday, 26 July 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I have to admit, I really did like it back in the Stone Roses days when Brown would put his arms out and bounce back and forth and make that particular face so that all in all he really honestly looked like he had Down's Syndrome. My friend's mom saw the video for "Fools Gold" once and thought he really did have Down's Syndrome, and started telling us how great that was that we liked a band where the lead singer had Down's Syndrome. That was "interesting and iconic," probably.

brown is to rock as damien duff is to football

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 26 July 2004 23:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Who is Arjen Robben in this analogy?

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 26 July 2004 23:26 (twenty-one years ago)

if the stone roses had threatened to replace brown with a young dutch singer i may have had a convincing reply. alas...

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 26 July 2004 23:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Surely you could at least come up with some kind singer/winger joke?

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 26 July 2004 23:40 (twenty-one years ago)

The Hollies did this, yeah?

Anyhow. Unfinished Monkey Business is one of the most half assed cobbled together unfinished bits of monkeying around type albums ever. and it's a fiver at fopp ohhh ohh my arms are pulling me over to it noooooooh.

four weeks pass...

searched and this was the only Stone Roses DVD mention i found...
just saw a listing at EAR/Rational music for a new Stone Roses DVD coming out in US/Canada now/soon - anyone know more details and what's on it? i'm guessing it's a lagging stateside version of a previous UK release?

thanks,
rents
