If it was an American tabloid wolfboy would be joining them on tour. ;D
The Sun was actually correct in their story, Mani put the kaibosh (sp?) on it.
hmmmmm. maybe wolfboy can take Mani's place?

Mani is a great bassist and a major part of what made the Roses great, but they could easily pull off a reunion without him. All they need is Ian and John, even Renni is optional (though his absence would cause more consternation than Mani's).

BINGO!!!!!!
Ian Brown controls the reunion….they don't need Mani, bass players are ten a penny.
No Ian Brown - no Stone Roses
No Mani - Whatever…..

actually, my friend who was with me at the stone roses show at WUST (before it became 930) was convinced mani messed up the bass line to his favorite song… he was real bummed about it and i don't think he was wrong cause he knew his stone roses stuff…
i hardly recall anything bout that show (pre digital camera etc.)… i know it started EARLY and we missed a few songs..

Didn't they have their own version of Bez? A guy who didn't play an instrument but was there for "vibes?"

And I know this is the most bizarre statement, but "Leisure" by Blur is still my favorite record of theirs. It's like saying "Pablo Honey" is your favorite Radiohead LP.

its always about the benjamins… in any case according to NME at the press conference:
So it's official: there will be two shows at Manchester's Heaton Park on June 29th and 30th, followed by a world tour. And the best bit? The Stone Roses will be playing NEW SONGS!

I don't actually think I know anybody who is a Stones Roses fan, but I always imagine their fans must be pretty douchey themselves to put up with this band of douchebags. Am I totally wrong? Or am I confusing them with Oasis?

Douchey? I'm a Roses fan. I'm as fresh as a daisy, but no douche use here. But thanks very much for caring enough to ask.

Another Roses fan who's also fresh as a summers eve.
Not sure I need them to reunite though….could be a complete train wreck, and ruin the whole 'Roses thing' for me. Besides, Stone Roses are Ian Brown and some musicians. Ian Browns 'solo' stuff is just as good.

I'm looking forward to this SO much! It could be the most hilariously awful thing ever! A band with ONE good album that sounds more dated and overrated with every passing second? A "singer" who REALLY can't sing? Comically dated fashion ("Reni bucket hat!") 20+ years of swearing they'd NEVER reform the original line-up? I'm just looking forward to how Ian Brown can deny it's not about the money. I never thought in my lifetime I'd see a more pathetic reunion, but I was wrong Sex Pistols. I was WRONG!

well for me their john squire, a crack rhythm section and a brilliant producer who managed to capture a mediocre singer in tune once in awhile :)

Sorry kids. I tried to catch Mr. Fussy Pants before he could post. Somebody is going to be mowing my lawn when he comes by the house. If he keeps it up I'll be heading right back to Hot Topic to return his birthday presents.
