really thought they'd be one of those bands I'd never end up seeing..

THE STONE WHO?

Sike, those guys are awesome! Have fun!! Their drummer is bad ass!
Did you hear "the kids" were all bitter that they are headlining cochella. Youngsters were like, " who the hell are they?"

thanks

that's just weird... a lot of them probably weren't even born

but then to balance it out, I bought the ticket drunk on new years eve, then today I was actually thinking proper old man thoughts like "it's raining, there will be a big crowd, the toilets will be disgusting, I'll be standing the whole time and my feet will hurt and it will be raining"

But then I put on their best of and I'm well up for it now.

plus the crowd will be made up of fellow old people anyway

i totally know how you feel!! i went to see QUICKSAND in january. at first i wanted to sit in the balcony, then i decided F-this, it's the first (and most likely the last) time i will ever see them. so i coat checked my record and went straight to the front. there wasn't any crazy moshing or anything like that, but i rocked harder than i had in 10 years. the next day, my neck was all hurting, my arm was bruised. i had to do an advil regiment for a couple of days. getting old suuucks.

I saw them last summer.

They were amazing.

finally getting to see Reni drumming was a total joy!

exactly my reasoning and why when empowered by whiskey on NYE I just bought the ticket... there's all kinds of reasons I would have talked myself out of it sober, all of them financial, but when the fuck ever will I get the chance again

there's loads of those "damn, I could have seen them then, I wish I had..." moments

I remember when Ian Brown's solo album came out in about 2000 and him being referred to on X-Fm as "Brownie the Manc messiah"... no term has ever been more apt...

except of course the messiah is his sister

What I liked about the Stone Roses is everyone assumed that John Squire and Mani were the musical geniuses and Ian Brown was just a front man who was notorious flakey live.

But when they split up, Ian Brown went on to do some interesting and original stuff, a lot of it being really quite good. Whereas Squire formed the Seahorses, which was just low grade britpop bollocks, with self indulgent guitar work.

What I don't like about them is the way most of my guitarist friends still always play their stuff any chance they get. Ah! Just play something different for a change! I'm going to start hating them before long, and I don't want that.

"King Monkey"

top night.
not even a hint of an encore. the old buggers couldn't wait to leave.

fortunately, the crowd were exactly the same.

found a flyer for the Happy mondays on the way back which probably means I will have to do all this again. first time they''ve been to Oz. Hopefully Shaun Ryder is up to it. The flyer is on a kind of acid blotter paper thing that you can rip into small squares which i thought was a cool idea

they're even bringing bez

not sure I could justify missing that really.
