Stone Roses Reunion - 2011 edition

[amyzzz]

Well then, I hope he very nearly does.

Well then, I hope he very nearly does.

He wouldn't be Ian Brown if...

[Fourthisto]

I hope this warm-up gig is streamed somewhere... it's either going to be amazing or amazingly bad.

All I could think about when I read this is that scene in Shaun of the Dead when they chuck Second Coming at the zombies.

Correction : They don't throw that one... because after Ed asks if he can throw it since it's Second Coming, Shaun says "I like it."

[Miroir Noir]

Ahhahaha! You're right, now that you mention it. They do throw the original "Blue Monday" 12" though!

[Fourthisto]

"That was an original pressing!!" Got to love that and then the no hesitation to launch the Batman soundtrack...

Damn I love that movie. Going to have to watch it again tonight. Thanks for the idea.

[stinkbutt]

I remember funny movies!!!

[stuporfly]

'I Wanna Be Adored'
'Mersey Paradise'
'Sally Cinnamon'
'Made Of Stone'
'(Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister'
'Where Angels Play'
'Shoot You Down'
'Tightrope'
'Waterfall'
'She Bangs The Drums'
'Love Spreads'

Reportedly a great show with Ian in fine voice. Would love to believe all that.

[stinkbutt]

I haven't kept up, have they stated whether or not they plan on playing the US?

[TheImportance]

Nope, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same thing Pulp did last year/this year.

[amyzzz]

I haven't kept up, have they stated whether or not they plan on playing the US?

I thought they hinted that they would but have not released an actual tour schedule.

[bmack86]

No Fools Gold or I Am the Resurrection? Lame.

[amyzzz]

No Fools Gold or I Am the Resurrection? Lame.

Agreed.

[stuporfly]

No Fools Gold or I Am the Resurrection? Lame.

These are my two favorite Stone Roses songs, though I still think that's a pretty solid setlist for what was announced a short performance. Now if they leave those two off the forthcoming series of shows...

[Miroir Noir]

You would expect "I Am The Resurrection" for the first reunion show because, well, obvious.

[amyzzz]

Man, I'm hoping for US dates next year. I am out of vacation time.

Valid.

What do you do? Hopefully they play Coachella. I wanna check this out.

[amyzzz]

Paul, I work for the local phone company; we get all our vacation at once at the start of the year, and I have already either taken or scheduled all my time for this year.

I am also hoping for Coachella. (duh!) I imagine if GV got the Stone Roses that they would be at the top of my must-see list.

[sonofhal]

Elephant Stone probably my fave. No sign of that either.

[sonnyboy11]

Bye Bye Badman is probably my fave but am not expecting it. I Am The Resurrection otoh... not doing that one is an egregious oversight. They really should play it after all this time. I do like the idea of She Bangs the Drums into Love Spreads though.

[bballarl]

I'm just happy they exist again. They'll play the hits. God damn, I want to see them so bad.

I bet GV will get them for Coachella. At least, I see no way that GV wouldn't ask them to play.

BBC says world tour on the way.

Please please please please let them play near me.

"I was going to go food shopping, but we did this instead."

[Fourthisto]

Man, I'm hoping for US dates next year. I am out of vacation time.

I am too, but I'd take an unpaid vacation if they announce something yet this year stateside. It'd be worth that much to me.

Bye Bye Badman is probably my fave but am not expecting it.

Same here, I'd be on cloud nine if I ever hear that one live...

[stuporfly]

I couldn't get the timing right for any of the shows they've already announced, so I'm definitely hoping for something in the US.

[stuporfly]

You can barely hear the band at all in the videos posted from last night with the crowd all singing along. This could let Ian off the hook!

[amyzzz]

"But opinion was mixed over the quality of singer Ian Brown's voice. 'He can't sing but he never could,' said Tom Six, 35, from Liverpool"

Uh-oh.

Just listened to those above, and it's too hard to tell. But god I am excited to possibly see them live. I'll have to leave my stone roses cd with my kids to get them geared up in case of Coachella.

[lehorne]

Where angels play, indeed. I like the setlist with the expected and the unexpected. Mersey Paradise is such a fun, summery song and bet the crowd was bouncing away (that audience looked killer btw).

Not that I don't like that song, but John had to get the heavy riffage in at the end. Feed the fingers, heh.
