Stone Roses are back.

Seemingly Brown's going through a divorce and will be pretty skint by the end of it...hence the new tour being confirmed today.

Together for filthy lucre, totally goes against what they once were.

the eton crowd??

i'm pretty sure john squire has said he was influenced by the smiths.

What a kawinky dinky that they are both pi ss poor.

"Whats good about the Smiths? Music to cut your wrists buy. Bunch of whiney middle class wan kers."

Er, none of them were middle class and the only one that whined was the singer.

Their songs are as funny as they are sad, maybe you're just not getting the jokes.

"The only people that got the smiths was the eton crowd in the 80's and 90's. "

I think you might be the only person in the whole world who thinks that posh public schoolboys were the Smiths' main fanbase.

I'm pretty sure Noel Gallacher never went to Eton.

I love the Stone Roses and I saw them live at Glasgow Green in 1990 and they were..OK

It was quite easy to get caught up in the whole "I'm at a Stone Roses gig" plus apart from Glasto and Reading there was no festivals in those days so the big tent in the green added to the occasion but musically it was no more than OK.

I've seen the Complete Stone Roses about 5 times and each time they were much better musically than the Stone Roses ever were.

I still love the tunes, I was blasting out the first album on Sunday afternoon, but will I pay £50 plus to see them live, probably not...

It was a sweeping generalisation and one I will continue to use as it serves my purpose. I just cant stand the band at all and Morrisey is a total self loving egotistical dweeb. He actually walked off the stage mid gig and wouldnt come back on because he could smell someone eating a in the crowd. Total goober. All those people who spent no doubt well over the odds to hear mediocre three chord rubbish and he walks off because someone was having a burger?! Oh how did he get through the night being such a fragile fellow. He probably is a nice guy but to do that to the fans is unforgivable.

I think Morrissey is a self-regarding idiot of the highest order, and I doubt he is even "probably a nice guy" - By all accounts he isn't.

I also think that the Smiths were absolutely brilliant and their songs still are.

get in there!

Was too young to go see them first time round. Wonder how that conversation started though!

Good albums but they don't come across as a great live band at all. Seen Ian Brown a couple of times live and they were terrible gigs that were just made worse by the fact that every waster in Scotland was probably at both of them.
