Seeing Ian Brown solo in a small venue is vastly more entertaining than this looks. Though I do note that large festival appearances by many bands seem soulless.
I was very, very lucky to have a backstage pass for this weekend. I absolutely loved it. I stuck with the Stone Roses for a bit but quickly decided to bugger off to listen Underworld playing elsewhere. Underworld were great, Born Slippy. The Roses were pretty dire.
I was just reading a musical article where the writer said this was the worst gig he'd ever seen. Had to come and have a listen. Yeah, it's not great. But when Ian stops singing for about 30 seconds it sounds okay. 😯
so what the hell is this? what's the statement? "fuck you for caring"? "fuck John Squire"? what?? it's not that it's BAD, it's that it's purposefully bad. it's banal. he doesn't wanna be singing these songs, that seems obvious to me. nobody who sings well one night and sings like this the next is doing it without realizing it. not while at least somewhat sane and cogent. he doesn't look either, frankly. sang great on _Reign_ with Unkle, though. killer, killer song.
A voice only a mother could love.
Still performing in 2023, but without the band and the voice isn’t any better tbf. People still going to see him so he must be doing something right.
Appealing to nostgalia bucket hat dads... if that counts

Bro I thought it was Liam Gallagher. I've got bad news though. We're BOTH wrong. It's neither 🤣🤣

Though everyone was at Underworld just for one song, at least the Stone Roses had 2 or 3, haha.

Great download. Do you have track 1?
It wasn't broadcast on TV
Hahahahaha!
Maybe Mani and Aziz should have changed key to match Ian 🥴
He had been on a session with Keith Allen before the slot, nothing could have saved him 😂🤣
God there’s not a key in the music book to match that awful vocal. Maybe a key to lock him in the dressing room would’ve helped more likely. ✌️👍✌️

Looks like he is very drunk and upset about everything that happened to the band that year
