It’s not exactly up there with Waterfall, but it’s not a bad song – you can’t really fault their enthusiasm, it sounds like they’re bursting with energy. It is weird that it just sounds like a John Squire song. Given that Ian Brown has been much more prolific as a solo artist than any of the others, and also much better and more varied, I would have thought he would have put more of a stamp on their comeback single, especially given that Brown hasn’t released anything since 2009. You would have thought that he would be itching to do some of his own songs, so it seems odd that they’ve come back with a tune that sounds like John Squire doing the same thing he's been doing for twenty years. Even the lyrics sound like Brown’s just making them up as he goes.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was an unreleased song from 95/96, it certainly sounds like it.

 

I remember Ian Brown mentioning that most of The Seahorses songs had been rehearsed by The Stone Roses in 95/96 for their third album. Which was why I think Brown was pissed off at Squire leaving and taking the songs with him. 

 

So yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if this had been demo'd back then and had been forgotten about until now.

Better than the Seahorses stuff, which I always thought was super cheesy. Kind of let down by the lyrics though. Bass and drums a little bland as well. Certainly not a disaster though.

 

Also despite the joke status they had bestowed upon them, Northside had a couple of great tunes!

They've just released another single - Beautiful Thing. It's alright - it sounds a bit like Fool's Gold, and a lot like Ian Brown's solo stuff. Maybe Squire and Brown are taking it in turns.

Brother in law went and said this...

Browns vocal dodgy but squire guitar great. Wall to wall scallys, half smoking weed and then other half on class A drugs. Lots of airborne bottles and fluids.

Stood in the middle of the nutters. Who had a lot of flares and smoke bombs. First gig I have been to for an age where everyone was smoking.

Sounded unpleasant.

Here's a photo.

I went to see the Stone Roses at Heaton Park, and I got so hammered I literally can't remember any of it. I was very excited about going because I was going with a bunch of people I'd known since I was ten, and the Stone Roses were pretty much our collective favourite band, and we made a day out of it. I can remember the journey up to Manchester, the day spent in various pubs, the support act, and the immediate aftermath of the gig, but for the actual performance of the Roses, it's like someone flipped a switch on my memory.

 

I couldn't even tell you what songs they played - i.e. whether they played Sally Cinnamon, whether they played anything from the Second Coming, whether they just came on and played the Birdy Song for two hours while making wanker signs at the crowd and throwing handfuls of fifty pound notes at each other. They probably played 'I Am The Resurrection', I'll go as far as that.

 

I had a fantastic time, but it's also one of my greatest regrets - I can remember the fucking Beady Eye set, but not the Stone Roses. If you go to see them, try and remember it, would be my advice.

I suspect some of them have. One of the lads I met at the gig (friend of a friend) is going again tomorrow. 

 

I I was actually pleasantly surprised about how could natured the crowd was. Not nearly as scally as I expected.

Went last night and it was a sea of fishing hats. The support acts were crap but stone roses were great. Basically 2 hours of group karaoke and 4 minutes of quiet during all for one.

This really made me laugh, exactly the same thing happened to me when I went to see Big Daddy Kane. By the time he came on I was so pissed I remember him saying hello and that's it. Whereas I remember the set by Ty, who I wasn't even aware was going to be there.

 

My mates found me standing up at the bar asleep.

I've actually done the same thing with the Beastie Boys and with New Order, but at least with them it wasn't at some decades-in-the-making triumphant comeback gig, and I've been to see them subsequently and successfully managed to not black out.

Went on Wednesday with the Mrs and they were very good.  We had standing but all the bottom seating of the Ethiad was unreserved so we managed to get a decent spot and stay there.  Few piss cans and plenty of scally's but nothing out the ordinary for a night in Manchester.

 

Agreed about the amount of people smoking though - never seen so many!
