Well I've met Ian brown three times once near Midland hotel, other two times near afflecks Palace. Can honestly say he's always been seriously nice guy he was interested in what I was saying my autistic brother was getting an Ian Dury album signed and he was fantastic to my brother. So everyone can have different experiences.
well to be fair, there's a big difference between meeting someone and going to see a dodgy gig.
that's great that you got to meet him though, I'd love to.
@@HughezyEntertainment went to see stone Roses at heaten Park they were good. Seen Ian brown solo which I actually thought was a better gig In my opinion. I think Ian Brown's solo stuffs a little underrated. Maybe people get frustrated because they expect more released material.
@@Rivelino824 I don't get why he's gone back to not playing Roses tunes. Does he seriously think that people wouldn't enjoy hearing I Wanna Be Adored over a Ripples album track?
@@HughezyEntertainment Think you need a balance of both maybe throw in the odd tune that people don't expect.
@@Rivelino824 Waterfall would keep everyone happy, one of the greatest ever intros.
Without The Stone Roses and Ian Brown there would not have been Oasis
I think you’re getting the, The Stone Roses mixed up with the, The Beatles!
Without the Inspiral Carpets; there would be no Oasis.
It's so easy to blame other's....lol...only kidding I love oasis...I like the stone Rose's but whilst Ian browns tuneless singing suited the early stuff.....he just about got away with it due to having the image and attitude....but once it went all Led Zep then a more accomplished vocalist was required...but I imagine your average Stone Rose's fan isn't really into music...the ones I knocked around with were asl likely to have a nina simone or van halen or tom waits...Suzanne vega albums in their collection as a tory wanting a fair wage for anyone but themselves lol
@@paulcartwright2810 Or a simple ability to spell and construct a sentence. Sometimes a punk tuneless approach with masterful lyrics beats airy fairy shite.
@@Lorenzo-cp7qs ..So here's an example of those masterful lyrics....."This is the daybreak
And this is the love we make
For love is the law here
You got to know how i love it, yeah
It’s more than a mover
You know it takes all fast, all song
Stone cold wild
Bring the love in
Son, brother, man, true nature child
I think i’ll sing it
From atlanta, georgia
To moss side, manchester
Everyone ready, so
So willing and able
Yeah, yeah, yeah
For the love you make
Gone home sis
(huh, yeah, woo!" ....your dead right about those masterful lyrics pal..
.lol..
in all fairness the punk tuneless approach you exhort didn't really apply to The Stone Roses who singer excepted great players.....and when I saw them back in the day playing live..(.i was lucky enough to catch them before they kind of ground to a halt.)..there was nothing punk or tuneless about Reni ,Mani who were a super tight but at the same time masterfully elastic rhythm section and John Squire's guitar was channelling all sorts of influences from hendrix to johnny marr to jimi page....at time he looked lost in what he was playing and the great sound he was coaxing from his guitar...a Gretsch country gentleman and a strat. ..into 2 yes that's 2 Fender twin reverbs ...When I saw his band the seahorses ..(who would have surely gone on to greatness had they held it together)...he worked the same melodic magic...but with a guy who was a good singer and could play guitar so it was even bettet.....as for the examples I gave (tom waits van halen Suzanne vega) been arty ...maybe......to be fair Van Halen lyrics were pretty brain dead...but much like the Roses I didn't listen to Van Halen for the Lyrics or Dave Lee Roths singing ... come to think of it ...DLR was like a rock version of Ian Brown...all swagger and pout...lol...I dug the musicianship of the guys who could play instruments ....
Hey man I loved The Stone Roses....I'm happy that I'm old enough...(actually im old enough to have seen The Jam play at Sheffield Top Rank lol )..to be around to see them play Live and others of the era..like The Happy Mondays....Inspirational Carpets...The Charlatans ...Punk...well before my time...I retrospectively enjoy The Sex Pistols 1 album and the clash...but that's kind of it...see I do so like a catchy song...
His opinions on recent events made me like him more! He will go down as a legend for speaking out
if he does a gig in Belfast this year, i'll be cool with him
@@HughezyEntertainmentif that's what it'll take for you to be cool wi him you're a sheep.. oh and tell the bloke you chatting to a bloke bitching is just fuckin sad.. just makes you look a prick
Exactly mate.. one of the only people in the music business with true integrity.. the blokes a legend for calling out the agenda.. all those that bad mouth him for it I think I just gutless bitches clinging to the comftable lies.. not man enough to face the uncomfortable truths.
Same
Have either on you been to one of his recent gigs? I went to Brixton, I wasnt expecting a great show due to the wave of bad press however it was one of the best gigs ive been to this year, I liked him up there on his own, his stage presences was colossal, his choice to not play roses songs is a good thing in my eyes, even with a band they arent going to sound as good as the roses.
his solo stuff is different, its got a lot more electric style beats and has a big hip hop vibe, which i love.
the videos online make him look awful but when you are in the crowd its just great!
I think a lot of people are jumping on the bandwagon for a number of reasons. until you get to experience it first hand you cant have a valid opinion on his solo gigs
no, he cancelled his gigs in Ireland due to poor ticket sales
I was at Brixton too. I tried to sell my ticket beforehand, but couldn't shift it, so I went, expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised. Started off better than he finished and I question some of the set list, but he really does have a great back catalogue. He was also incredibly engaging, connected well with the crowd and, surprisingly, came across as a sound guy who cares about his fans, which is almost the opposite of what I've always expected of him.
I do however agree with the notion that if you make a lot of noise, you've got to be able to back it up. And it's twice as bad if you proclaim greatness but produce cr@p.
His political stance, however, is very dividing and I have to choose to ignore it for fear of losing some of my favourite music. Unlikely to see him again though.
@@alexhardiman8582 Yeah, i really don't think I would ever go see him live unless I knew that he had a band
Terrible interview content in my view.. All opinion not backed up with concrete facts I think. I dont think you can blame drugs for everything that you dont like musically... Oasis were on drugs from the start anyway and did alright so that theory goes pop.
did you cry?
@@HughezyEntertainment I cried with laughter when I heard in another interview you said you were a fan of the Spice Girls and made it to an ABBA tribute gig but slagged off Ian Brown's gig having not gone..
Totally agree John.Every record ever made up until Coldplay had drugs interwoven somewhere in writing,composition and performance.You can't hear a straight bar since 1960,except Zappa...
@@petew4448 i gotta say... i like Coldplay's first album.
Second coming was a damn good album
The first album is one of the best albums recorded EVER !
"Second coming was a damn good album".......did you really type that without laughing loudly ?
@@revol148 yes listen to it again
@@Smog104 do you even think the band think that albums any good? I ask as during their pension-topping reunion gigs from a decade ago they played a grand total of one song of it - 10 storey love song - weird eh?
Agreed
Yep
‘Off his face on weed’…. You sound like Alan Partridge. What did you expect going to see a Ian Brown solo show, you got what was promised, and people love it.
where was it marketed that it was just Ian Brown?
He reminds me of Alan partridge when he’s talking about these bands 😂😂😂
Good God, you are so defensive and clearly very insecure.@@HughezyEntertainment
What are you two squawking about, the man's a legend. You go on like you know him personally.
you're getting offended like you know him personally.
Ian Brown Is A Legend
Your Not Get Lost
hold on a minute. you can't compare throwing paint over 30yrs ago to him wanting to earn a few quid on possibly his last solo tour? who sets the ticket price? it's not IB. who sets the merch cost? it's not IB. whats IB cut? who cares man, IB has done the business for years. Well done Ian Brown. I applaud you. There's money lenders in the temple. Artists don't owe people anything, pipe down!
That johns was squires idea anyway
Well said that was the whole point with the roses they didn't give a shit but still left us with great memories and music
You are so wrong. Artists who are established have no excuse, they have final say, the show cannot go ahead without them. He may have had less say in earlier times, though that is not the case now. Artists are accountable to their fans, not the other way around. I agree Ian is an arse, saw them 4 times when they reformed, it was never due to Ian that I wanted to see them. Musicianship exceptional which I would have seen without a vocalist. Vocally poor, never an important element.
@@ninagray4441 Daftest thing I've ever heard. Artists in ANY field or form are definitely NOT accountable to their fans. The rest of your comment is not even worth acknowledging.
You honestly think an independent artist like Ian brown doesn’t have a say on ticket, merch ect. prices? 😂
I think him doing this tour like this is probably him being cost effective. A lot of big companies refuse to work with him cause he spoke out against the lockdown. So he's probably got fuck all budget to do the tour, not because he's being stingey. Fucking Justin Hawkins ripping on about the lights being cheap is a pisstake. Ians doing s tour for the people that wanna see him. Cant fault that. Especially of hes doing it by the means possible to him.
Him not doing Roses songs on this tour was totally the right thing to do imo. His solo stuff is amazing & is a different style. Yes it was a bit karaoke with no band or DJ, however he did write all those lyrics himself (as far as we’re aware) So we know he means it
i get you on that one about the solo stuff but if you remember, his last solo tour before the Roses reunion he had started doing their songs again and it was generally considered the best thing he'd ever done.
@@HughezyEntertainment your completely wrong Ians last solo tour was for his my way album and he played no Roses songs at all,I saw him in Glasgow on this tour and it was fantastic it's his songs his lyrics on his last album he produced and played almost all the instruments I bought a ticket to see Ian Brown and that's what i got a legend playing a blinding set.
@@NealSinclair I was at that tour.
@@HughezyEntertainment I can easily provide proof of the my way your where he didn't play roses songs.
The album was called 'My Way' after all....your just not very good at what you do mate your arguments are full of complete falicys go start a spice girls channel.
@@NealSinclair can I start one about knob commenters? You'll be my first month of uploads
Ian brown got better every night on that tour......my friend ste from Aberdeen was his live guitarist since 2006 until the Rose's reformed ....I know ian and know quite a bit of how he moves ......James dont be so vindictive 2wards him cos u my friend are wayyy of mark....RESPECT ....Paul
The Second Coming is criminally underrated.The critics didn’t like it so it’s deemed a bad album & written off by the trendy brigade.
Forget all the infighting & drama..You can play that album start to finish & it still stands up today.The production,the playing & lyrics are all better on Second Coming.
Ten Storey Love Song,Begging You,Tightrope,Love Spreads & Your Star Will Shine are modern classics.
James says ‘Be Here Now’ is an ‘incredible album’…i beg to differ & calling Ian Brown a ‘dick’ is certainly unwarranted unless you’ve met him personally.Ian Brown is a northerner who doesn’t suffer fools.
I know a few people who have been in his company and they say he’s sound
Ps You mention Supergrass second album ‘going wrong’ but out of all their six studio albums ‘In it For The Money’ has sold the most & also has the most hit singles
I think it's a great album but it's not good enough for such a long wait for it.
Am I the only person on earth who thinks Second Coming was far better than their first album?
@@allanbluzdude I think so aswell was arguing with my mon about that 😂
@@allanbluzdude you might be. It's definitely underrated though
@@allanbluzdude *YES!*
Let the haters hate Ian Brown called the Lockdown out for what it was .
The gigs had a great atmosphere incase you were interested.
They’re sycophants for just one band.
What was it then Rich?
@@sratus A crock of shit.
@@sratusit was part of the plan to bring the new world order in which is still going on by the way ...the whole world like China but worse...
@@sratus Rich is oddly silent.
Ian Brown is art and punk rock. Legend in his own lunchtime. as much as I respect James and his opinion, Ian is similar to Liam in my eyes.
He’s a rebel like Liam I agree. These two sausages don’t understand the punk element and are too obsessed with stage performance.
Liam modelled himself on Ian, Ian grew up and Liam didn't.
James - you're talking shit. The paint incident wasn't Silverstone, it was FM Revolver and it had nothing to do with being released from recording contract.
Do you think Ian Brown needs money? 😂 It's people sat on the fence like yourself who were criticising his solo tour, not hard-core fans.
As for "All For One" - it wouldn't matter if they'd written the greatest song ever, it was always going to be harshly criticised.
As for drugs - they helped *create* the music in the first place. The Roses debut wasn't created by tee totalers 😂
I'm a year late watching this video, but fuck me, you were both so wrong! Ian Brown (when I met him) was a top guy! I also attended that tour l, and it was brilliant! I was sceptical after seeing a couple of reviews, but on the night, he was class! It didn't matter about not playing Roses tunes as he has a huge and great back catalogue!
For fuck sakes boys, it was amazing, brixton was rocking and the bass was immense
They're not looking at those facts and that people enjoyed it too. They just seem to want to have a go at Ian and the Roses. Loads of unsubstantiated claims in there.
@@jcalver80 the facts? such as when we seen fans talking about how bad it was?
but all that's wrong because YOU think differently, right Boris?
that's great that you had a good time, I'm saying that I don't get the logic behind it.
@@HughezyEntertainment No I meant all the other facts that were plainly ignored, but, on that opinion you clearly ignore all the fans who loved it and their comments on here too. Boris? What the hell has Boris got to do with it? No need for personal insults whatever you're trying to say.
He is hated on by the media because of his views on covid and the vax.....a few comments blown out of proportion but yous cannot see that.
First time I've seen him without him worrying about the musicians or the volume of his mic, he was totally relaxed and on form.
Not ians fault the roses won't write or preform to suit everyone, as for his solo tour, that's up to him, one thing for sure, he's a absolute gent.
(Creepy oasis LG NGHFB guy makes my skin crawl)
actually, it IS Ian's fault that his fans aren't liking his setlist.
@@HughezyEntertainment your missing the point. Sod the set list. It’s the missing band that’s the big issue. No expectation of playing roses songs
@@Tito-en5nv True. Does this mean Roses songs could be gone for good?
Ian Brown is an art and a genius! I’d pay to see him all day long band or no band. Oh and he was spot on about all that covid crap 😂
No, no he wasn't mate.
Yes he was. Hes right about everything. Who are these guys anyway? They sound like proper jealous nobheads to me 😆
@@sratusyes he was...it was all lies and fake and part of one of the first steps to bring the new world order in...no doubt you were a sheep and got jabbed
No one's been spot on even the great 🤔 Ian Brown, that's why the whole COVID things so up in the air,NO One can definitely say one way or the other.
Never seen this channel before ,matey with guitar talks a lot of sense, other guy dunno either got off the red eye from NYC or I dunno 🤔 STOP scratching your nose your making me ZZZZzzzzz 😴
✌️🇵🇸✌️🇵🇸✌️🕊️
you can say what you want man but my brother was at the Glasgow gig and he said that when Brown played the older stuff, My Star and F.E.A.R the place went off big time
honestly, if he was playing here i likely would get drunk and go but at the same time, not playing Stone Roses songs at it is just a bad move by Brown
He never once said he would play stone roses songs, it said Ian brown on my ticket not the stone roses.. he preformed his solo songs that are completely different from the roses. You don’t know why they split maybe he’s fed up of singing roses songs. There the best band ever in my opinion, he’s not a band he’s a solo artist it’s different.
@@HughezyEntertainment dont really want to hear stone roses songs at an ian brown gig. He did that from 2005-2009 in response to john squire doing it. His music is fairly different. Its an Ian Brown gig.
EVERYONE had their chance to go and see the roses first time around and the 2nd time around.
I’ve never missed an Ian Brown gig in Dublin since 1998 but I wouldn’t be going near any of his gigs without a backing band.
@@connorfraser6651 you need to chill out man, I've seen all the comments you've left here and you're acting like YOU were personally insulted.
Is the fella from Northern Ireland pished?
nope
James can’t listen to music if the person “dick” but bigs up Tom Meighan who knocked his missus about. Don’t get me wrong, I hate cancel culture and people like Tom deserve to get a chance to continue their career, but it’s just funny how much of a hypocrite James is 😂
not true though, is it?
@@HughezyEntertainment what’s not true?
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 the stuff that you said
@@HughezyEntertainment not true that James has been all over Tom? The guy that hit his missus….But he can’t listen to other peoples music because they’re a “dick” or did something bad. You don’t see hypocrisy in James and his words there?. Nothing I said is untrue. You’re really thick y’know?
Facts.
I've read a lot about John Squire being difficult to work with. I think Chris Helme echoed what Ian Brown got annoyed with when playing live, in that he always wanted his guitar up so loud that nobody else could hear themselves.
Who knows where/why they lacked motivation as a band, but I always got the impression that John Squire was so talented (as a guitarist and an artist) that he's happy to work whenever. Like he doesn't need to prove himself, and doesn't necessarily need loads of cash/success to demonstrate his ability.
even when Squire tried to do the Seahorses, apparently he was really tough to work with
@@HughezyEntertainment treated his band mates like Amazon warehouse workers, and paid them not much more.
@@paulfrancis8764 Reni I've heard can be tough to deal with too
Yep, I've been a fan from the start .I've heard that also the sea horses was terrible to work for an arragant nasty guy to work with he wanted everything his way . I've heard that
Ian Brown concerts are better than AEW TV
Ian is acting like a jabroni.

Fuck what people think and fuck the youtube haters
you mean fans, right?
The meltdown of Ian browns legacy … shut up the tour said IAN BROWN that’s who came on the stage that’s who every one was there to see, I was in Glasgow it was best concert I’ve been to in a long time there his songs he can sing over them if he wants and maybe he deserves more look at Liam Gallagher selling out stadiums .. if there’s no Ian brown there no Liam Gallagher that’s FACT he completely copied his style as much as I love Liam Gallagher … Ian brown is king and always will be !!! Totally disagree with you your fan or your not u can’t just consider yourself a fan … trying to get views off Ian browns clout lol clearly or u would not have made this horrible video.
did you cry because someone's opinion was different to yours?
IAN,CAN DO WHAT HE LIKES,LOOK AT BOWIE,...ITS CALLED EVOLVING.....THE FANS WERE ECSTATIC BY THE CLOSING NIGHTS.......AND HE IS A MAN OF THE PEOPLE......THE ROSES REFORMATION ,WAS FOR THE DOE.......JOHN WASN'T INTERESTED AT ALL.....IAN IS ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL SPIRITUALLY.......RIDE TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF......CHECK THE CONFERENCE 👊

i thought they had good tunes on them, dunno about the entire albums.

i wish he didn't perform at all, he stinks.
He performs with a band, generally.
9:59 LOOOOOOL.
OK Dad.
TSR were doing "dr*gs" during their first album.
Also, he then brings up Oasis which completely contradicts his own argument. Oasis went sh* when they got off "the dr*gs".
didn't you know that Stone Roses and Oasis were different bands?
@@HughezyEntertainment
Yes. But he was saying that it's always to do with drugs when bands fall off, after he brings up Oasis. And I was just pointing out that Oasis infamously went crap when they got clean.
I'm not advocating dr*g use or anything BTW. Just pointing out the flaws in his logic.
Oasis stopped doing c*ke after Be Here Now, and there was a noticeable drop in quality with their following album, and 90% of the rest of their career (which contradicts the point he is making).
I remember at the time, everyone was saying they shouldn't have given up (half jokingly of course).
It may have been a coincidence, or they might have just stopped trying as hard or run out of good ideas.
And the Roses were st*ned off their box on the first album, along with E's and mushies.
Sorry if I came across as an ass-hat BTW.
Only messing :)

@@jcalver80 because he's going broke and knows that his fanbase are dumb enough not to notice that he's fleecing them
I'm not sure about that criticism. While I don't agree with everything folks such as Ian Brown or Morrissey say, I do enjoy the fact they upset the apple cart. That was always something that made musicians fun to watch. The Sex Pistols often talked a load of old cobblers, but I liked the fact they did that. It's depressing to me that in this era of stuffy political correctness, many people are quick to jump on bandwagons and hate people. How boring that we are expected to 'like' musicians who fall in line. What did Brown ever do that was that bad, and I mean highly unethical, totally prickish? Not much, but we are expected to dislike them now. And as for talent, some of the most offensive people in history have been highly talented. One of my favorite authors is Louis Ferdinand Celine, and man, did he publish some rotten literature (his pamphlets), but his anti-war writing is unmatchable. Brown is fine, IMO, and I certainly am not going to jump on the bandwagon of hate because popular culture, the slaves to morality, think I should. It's this kind of tribalism that leads to horrible things happening in the world.
We should all be getting behind RIDE. A completely professional band that is still releasing quality music to this day
I went too see him in Bournemouth & he had a rant about greedy Tory’s lol
The solo tour last year was great at Brixton
i would guess it was better to see it live but hearing about it, it sounded like a mess
Ask his fans for there opinion. Yours are not important man.
I did. P.S, i am a fan.
Leave brownie alone no point going over old stuff it all added to the mystique I was there at the time legend's then and now if the got back together tomorow they could sell out any stadium in this country at the drop of a hat
it's not really old stuff, it's about 3 weeks ago. I would go see Stone Roses in a second though. Love them.
I don’t beleive Michael Jackson is guilty. I recon he’s got that wrong tho
i hope he's not... either way, i'm still a Jackson fan. So is Ian Brown!
LOTS of proof to show Safechuck and Robson are liars.
Aw, if The Beatles had just stayed off the drugs they could still be making fab records like From Me To You now 😆
weirdly, i think the Beatles got better with drugs.
What on earth do any of these words mean? They're not setting into any kind of semblance of meaning? Who are these people what do they do? Opinions rooted in facts and context will always been more readily received. Nothing said here was worth listening to, nothing was educational but it WAS entertaining because listening to simpletons often is. Nice to see people who actually understand music making sense in the comments section, for a second I was scared I'd found some alternative universe where people actually believed tripe like this. Good grief.
you REALLY don't like people thinking differently to you. I know a guy like that too, he sings to a backing track and charges full price for it.
@@HughezyEntertainment Lol! An expected not very bright response, just a silly thing to say. Ian Brown is a solo artist so I'm not really sure why he needs to have a band or what difference that makes, so are gigs suddenly like EasyJet now where we pay set prices for extras? I've seen Paul Weller do shows with literally him and his guitar, that's even less equipment than Ian Brown, should he have just charged thruppence a ticket because it was just him and his guitar then? It's not that I disagree with you, it's that your facts are off kilter and you don't have a point. It's fair enough if you didn't enjoy the gig but to try to desecrate the guy because of that is just nonsense. I am not a fan of Taylor Swift but I wouldn't try to say she's an awful artist because she's not to my tastes, that's just ignorant and would make me sound stupid. Kudos for keeping up with your comments though, albeit judging by the views it would appear you don't have much else to do. lol!
@@TheFakeyCakeMaker why would Ian Brown need a band? I would guess to PLAY THE MUSIC

10:19 Seems like anytime a band changes their sound or style there's a problem, just because it wasn't the same as their most popular albums doesn't mean they were bad. Totally disrespecting many albums and the only reasons to justify this by saying they were 'bad' and 'ruined by drugs'. Fair enough its your opinion but I think its maybe a bit harsh to say that, even if you don't like them.
John Squire has said that though, no?
@@HughezyEntertainment As far as I'm aware he has never said anything about second coming being bad and even if he has doesn't make it fact, Noel slates Be here now constantly but it doesn't make it a terrible album. Also doesn't justify the reason why every Indie bands second album, or every Oasis album after the 3rd, is no match on their successor.
@@-cityinthesky99 chill out mate, they're not gonna hang out with you
@@Aqu-amarine Noel can't make his mind up about his opinion on Be Here Now
Ian was a legend for speaking out against the covid tyranny. not sure about this backing track stuff though
Ian is *not* an infectious disease expert.
@@meavid Go get your booster Matt
yeah maybe he was but if he cares so much about the public, why not bring that into his gigs?
@@HughezyEntertainment it's a fair point, but I have no way of knowing what his thought process was on that. But for me it's far more "rock n roll" that he had the courage and intelligence to speak out against lockdowns/vaccine mandates when all his peers were totally silent. He even had his protest song "little seed big tree" removed from spotify (this happened to many other "anti lockdown" type artists including my own song taken off TH-cam)
@@costanzauk i think we can all agree that he was right to speak out against the lockdown. I wish he would start doing interviews again though
You have shown your true colours here. Always felt you had integrity with your videos and a consciousness of respect and dignity. This shows what you really like. Quite a judgemental and arrogant individual. Oh well.
you gonna be ok?
@@HughezyEntertainmentNo. Traumatised for life. 😊 To be honest, it was James Hargreaves I was talking about. Thought it was his channel until I read your message. Thanks for caring 😂
@@BenJahmin108 caring? no. It's called replying.
@@HughezyEntertainment Not for one second did I think you cared Bredda. Your video content clearly shows that. 😆
For the record, they threw paint on Revolver Records label owner Paul Birch for releasing a dodgy and 2nd-rate "Sally Cinnamon" music video. Silvertone court case was something separate altogether.
what was the video?
@@HughezyEntertainmentsally cinnamon , they made a real cheap skate vid of it and the Roses understanderbly went mad about ..
@@samuraininjarockstar9355 I've never seen it, Roses' videos were usually bad. Ever seen the American one for Love Spreads?
@@HughezyEntertainment nah mate I haven’t , but they were usually crap, it’s funny that because Ian’s solo vids were good and the Seahorses vids were good aswell 😊
@@samuraininjarockstar9355 It is shocking. They're on some oil rig. Ian is barely moving, you can tell that they're just not into it at all.
In the LIVE FOREVER documentary that posh critic fella simply says that the Stone Roses failed because "they lost their nerve". Every time they touched breakout success they fucked it up.
Kinda like The Wildhearts, actually.
funny you mention that documentary, I'm gonna try to get an interview with that guy in the new year.
it is true though, the Roses had everything and just blew it on all levels. Took too long to get the 2nd album made, weird low budget music videos, horrible interviews etc.
They got screwed by the manager Garth evens he was a snake rip them big time as well had problems with there record companys they were deal with
@@glennconnell6785 in which way?
Isn't that in the 2003 film the rise and fall of britpop
Love Ian brown 🙌 massively important to the awakening
Well said. One of the only ‘celebs’ that had any courage to speak up against the lies.
awakening?
@@HughezyEntertainment The awakening of humanity realizing were all being fucked over by the "elites" yet the power resides with us.Govt and media lie to us to further their agendas.Check Agenda 30 for the full horrors.
@@HughezyEntertainment the great awakening, listen to Ian brown little seed big tree
@@petew4448 ok... but first i'm gonna catch up on Strictly Come Dancing.
Did you actually catch a show on the recent tour?
no, his tickets sales for Ireland were bad so the tour dates here got cancelled
@@HughezyEntertainment That’s a shame, I must admit when I saw it was just him - no bad I had reservations, however I saw his London show, it was excellent, he sounded great and the vibe was amazing.
@@DJJMC-hy6of last time i seen him live was with the Roses in Marlay Park in Dublin, based on the video footage from it, the show wasn't good but everyone was so off their heads, i loved it
Oasis - 3 incredible album?? Reallly
I'd say that have 5
@@HughezyEntertainment hahahahaha
Is this belfast guy smacked out?
no... you selling?
Man's earning a living by not living in the past. Nothing wrong with that. Its hard enough to make a living in the music industry. Good luck to Ian, no matter what you pair think.
Right, check out the press conference.....JOHN SQUIRE DIDN'T TALK MUCH,BECAUSE JOHN ONLY DID FOR THE TOUR AND THE MONEY.....OPEN UR EYES
does he ever talk much though?
Beautiful Thing was a better track than All For One and actually a really good track imo.
No one's forcing anyone to be a fan of anyone... pointless it's only music
what's your point?
@@HughezyEntertainment Ian brown is irrelevant
@@TeeTee-zm2re disappointing, it should have been "this channel is irrelevant"

i'm pretty sure the answer is longer than that
Michael Jackson’s son prince was on some sort of daytime show last week. Saying how great the man was and the presenters were blowing smoke up his arse and rightfully so, I don’t beleive Michael Jackson would have harmed anybody intentionally
He literally shared a bed with boys and lured them to his house with a fair ground in his garden. He is no better than Savile and was protected the same way by the media.
I dont think it's drugs making 2nd albums dark it's artists selling there souls....
It’s a combination…
@@kylemc0254 so cocaine and heroin?
They earned the right to do it however they wanted to. Get off your high horse. James does some great content, but his music will go nowhere whether he does drugs or not.
all because he has an opinion different to yours?
You still drunk?
@@dekabnaeb6776 nah
I've seen Ian Brown quite a few times live in Dublin. When he's on form he's fantastic, saw him in the Olympia when he was doing a tour in 2005. He had a nice mixture of solo and Roses songs (first time he started playing those songs since the band first broke up_ in the set list. His band were great. Then saw him at Dublin Castle the following year for Heineken Green Energy Festival. And he was awful, his voice was shot and he was doing a few Bob Marley covers in the set.
It all depends on what night you catch him, he can be great or he can be the worst gig. But I like Ian Brown solo stuff, especially first three solo albums are great.
that would was his greatest tour, i feel. Perfect setlists
Was at the 2005 show, he sang for George Best. Great gig.
@@Kell1984 what song did he do for Best?
@@Kell1984 Brixton? He did a tribute there.
Some kind of football chant
Some of the best Albulms in the world have been created by Musicians high on drugs. What was the third album by Oasis that was incredible?. For me only the first 2 are great Albums.
i love Be Here Now and Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants.
You need to do your research on Michael Jackson. A proper deep dive like you do on Oasis. Seriously.
Wrong about blur. Album 1 was Leisure, Album 2 was modern life is rubbish.
Are you referring to Parklife number 3.
Great escape number 4.
Blur number 5.
Got your maths wrong James but I get the point. It’s more about stage of success than album number. Blur became massive for album number 3: Parklife and the great escape is the ‘dark’ album in the series.
Blur albums are crap.
@@HughezyEntertainment are you from the band Mogwai?
How can you not love Modern Life and the self titled Blur albums?
@@Haydncarp For me, apart from 13, most Blur albums are skippable. They're the UK version of Bon Jovi.
@@HughezyEntertainment you’re halfway there mate….
Throw in a bit of Chas n Dave.
See what I did there 😂
@@Haydncarp i think that's why i never got that big into Blur, they always seemed so fake to me.
That being said, I'd be lying if I said they didn't have a bunch of great singles.
What happpened to the whole stone roses reunion?
Ian Brown has enough credit in the bank to do what the fuck he wants. He wrote these songs !!
ok but are fans going to keep going back?
@@HughezyEntertainment Yeah the shows I went to were sold out & the fans enjoyed the music. He wrote some great songs in his solo career and he's a decent bloke. I've met the guy heaps of times and he's always been a genuinely nice bloke. Also met Mani in my mates bar in Barcelona and he's also a really sound bloke. Ian Brown could turn up at any music venue and play the songs he wrote, because people enjoy his music, he's a legend. Everyone I know who's met him say he's a decent human being.
@@kevinborland2090 I would love to meet Mani, everyone says that he's insanely easy going.
FM Revolver got the paint treatment
I met Browny while recording in Townhouse Studio summer 2007...he was sound...he'd always have time for a chat

“No one is more hated than he who tells the truth”..
and the truth is, Ian Brown doesn't care about the fans
My sentiments exactly…
I will be eternally grateful for his music, but also his voice against authoritarianism.
@@cgrist7000 a few more tunes wouldn't hurt though
@@HughezyEntertainment I get it… but the volume of quality solo work is in my opinion, undeniable. At this point, he’s proven he can do it on his own. His solo work is very varied and he’s clearly got creative control. The man’s work ethic is amazing.
Yes, it would be great to have roses but… I gave up on that years ago. Anything more would just be a bonus.
@@cgrist7000 i honestly didn't think that Ripples was good enough for it to have taken so long to get made. Not saying that it was all rubbish though.
Ian has gone through some major changes, whether rightly or wrongly, and the way I saw that solo no band tour was, him owning his views, and music, head on.
He had to do it himself. Sure he could have had a live band, but if you can't see why, after his public statements, why he felt he needed to do those gigs, on his own, from him to his loyal fans, then you need to rethink it.
James, you didn't need to be calling people names. No need whatsoever. Shame on you.
how many tickets would he have sold though?
It wasnt silvertone who they threw paint on
You can’t compare oasis and Super grass with the Roses 😂😂😂
how come?
@@HughezyEntertainment because they are very inferior to the Roses
@@Smog104 are they hell you doughnut.

1. it made headlines 2. it made him the most talkedabout musican 3. it gave the fans unforgetable experience - good or bad, but unforgetable 4. yes, he could earn more on it -> after pandemic maybe he needed it 5. almost all hip hop singers perform like that - nobody has a problem with that. maybe we are on the hypocrycy side too
I'd agree with that. Kanye stood on the main stage at Glastonbury backed only by 5000 lightbulbs and everyone proclaimed greatness!
How can you call love spreads and breaking into heaven overrated man
can you time stamp that?
Doesn't need a time stamp it's when James says the Roses were good up until One Love and that writes off everything afterwards including those songs.
@@jcalver80 can you time stamp him saying that though?
@@HughezyEntertainment I could if I wanted to subject myself to the interview again which I don't I'm afraid. Watch the bit where he says they had a good 5 year period
8:27
Get with the programme, he’s showing the music industry he can go it alone and needs absolutely nobody else, something he wouldn’t have done if they had not tried to silence and mock him for daring to be an independent thinker that speaks truth and that has the courage to go off their prescribed script.
What were the 3 brilliant Oasis albums?
apart from Heathen Chemistry, I love them all.
Didnt think he would say that about ian
I think you have missed the point , the message is don't follow the rules , harmful drugs have been injected into children with no benefit and the government drug dealers are getting ready to do it again, Ian brown had the courage to speak out , so if you want just want a fancy tune there's plenty on TH-cam
great... so that's why he couldn't bring a band with him on tour?
@@HughezyEntertainment don't know man l enjoy his music with the band but there's something going on more important than music and at least he's speaking out and questioning the tyranny , very brave when most rocknrollers ran for the hills , I hope we can agree he's a sound chap just trying to navigate todays screwed up world , good luck 👍❤️💪☮️
@@mickyates9154 cool... so why charges such high prices for a guy singing to a CD?

The thing that annoys you is he can pull it off, and you cannot.....
"I mean, I'm no expert"
And there lies the problem with this, no expertise, as many today you are both Google experts.....
What songs have you written, how many classics have been written in little time, I do agree It's not classic but it's like me commenting on how you serve burgers in McDonald's.
I totally appreciate Ian Brown for going against the bulshit msm narrative on covid, whis he has now largely been vindicated for. I don't mind him playing to a backing track BUT he should have made it clear that was the plan before selling the tickets and he definitely should not have been charging the money he did. The stone roses first album is one of the best albums of all time imo, but they spend 5 years fukkin about after ir was released and never got near that quality with second coming. But Brownies solo work is very good the first three albums were brilliant imo, even the later stuff was decent so he definitely has talent.
exactly man, he sold a ticket for a show, not a cheap ticket either, that more or less cheated the fans
I certainly wouldn't be taking any notice of anything that prat from The Darkness says. Apart from that Ian Brown will always be a legend for the Stone Roses and earlier solo work, regardless where his career may or not be now.
but Hawkins wasn't lying though, you can/ could buy Brown's stage set online for a fairly cheap money.
