Ach lads, who needs to worry about tribute bands when you have seen the originals away back in 1989

Deadly.

Could've picked a better week for the tickets to go on sale mind you, unless they're aiming for the Xmas present market

They're no on sale yet just checked! Seen them a couple of times, quality.

It will be a great night can't wait

Deadly

Another trip home!

Right Gordy,

A) Stone Roses are no more so there is no chance of seeing the real thing anywhere in the known universe.

B) Next best thing is to hear a band who pretty much emulate the sound of the originals

C) Now, if the Roses were to get back together the chances of them playing in the Vic range from slim to heehaw so, putting A&B and a smidgeon of C together, you could say that The Stone Roses are playing in Campbeltown and for that may the Lord be praised.............Hallelujha!!

PS

How was the 89 gig????

LOL god did you get out your bed on the wrong side or something or is this old age actually creeping up on you, ya auld git.

Anyway, this band are probably better live than the orginals were as Ian Brown cannot sing live at all. The 89 gig was actually in 1990 ( like you becoming an auld git so memory fading) but has grown to legendary status as it was last ever gig that the original line up played together and if it wasnt for this sole reason not a gig I would ever place in the top 20 of gigs been to.

But truthfully well done to who ever has organised this and other gigs in the town over the last few years, should be a good night.

Now Duke you up for a pint or 2 on Saturday evening - might even allow you to buy me a few as recompense seeing as you obviously dont know how to operate a phone

And finally as Ian Brown sang in "She Bangs the drums"

- "Kiss me where the sun don't shine"

Ian Brown cannot sing live at all

Seen the king monkey at least half a dozen times live and I have to say he is a great singer half the time and pretty poor the other half. If you hear him sing 'three little birds' (Bob Marley) acapello (spelling?!?) it's absolutely amazing. He is , regardless of singing, the best live act I have ever seen and an absolute legend. Saw him at the barrowlands once and he came on stage with a celtic scarf tied round one arm and a rangers one round the other (no sign of a partick thistle one tho!) and kept raising one arm then the other to get a reaction! Incidentally his backing band were formerly a roses tribute band fae Aberdeen who he saw and thought they were so good they should go on tour wi him! Lucky bast@rds.

I knew you'd have a comment or two to make on that one!

got to agree trapper, the man can sing live nowadays. best gig i saw was in aberdeen, the same day the mighty beat the jam tarts 2-1 at tynecastle, and about three days after we beat rangers 2-0, and the guitarist came out with an aberdeen top on, wot a gig! and i canna wait to see the complete stone roses, seen them once in the garage and they were quality.

meh

the only time ive ever seen Ian Brown live was marred by two yuppie types taking cocaine in front of me and not sharing, and someone behind me blowing on my neck, only for me to find out it was a really rather large spider.
