Was it as good as the first? What do you all think?
Nah, it was rubbish both times. Needed an extra large pack of Rennies to settle the stomach after each apperance.

I know this thread is obscure, although I'm surprised no-one worked it out what it was supposed to be about. On the other hand, I can't blame you for not being interested. I doubt I would be.

Well it don't smell of roses - that's for sure.
But it's a bit oblique - down the track of my thinking you'd have to be made of stone to understand.

The Second Coming came and went about 15 years ago!
The Good News is that the Third Coming was announced today.

How do you know you won't become a fan if you don't know any of their songs?

Because if i liked any of them. They would be in my collection. I have heard them, but as i said if i liked any, i would have it. Am now just going to watch The Vampire Dairies, which i taped earlier because it clashed with Taken.

You have to be applauded for your patience given the date of your OP. My son is also that stage. He annoys me too..;)
I like the stone roses, I think they're decent, but I've never understood the legendary status they seem to get.
There were a lot of bands around that I thought a lot more of at the time, and looking back, my opinion hasn't changed.
In saying that, I'll probably apply for tickets to their live shows.

Several public houses, a diesel railway locomotive, and a racehorse were named after him.
he was made a Freeman of North-East Fife and a Freeman of Fife
In accordian playing he has them licked I agree.
You failed to note his school qualifications in the roll of honour.
I reckon the roses made more cash though
The first album is one of my all time favourites, Their second was average and certainly not worth the wait. They were abysmal at Spike Island so I wont be going to watch them again. Their best live set was at the Empire Ballroom in Blackpool in 89, which was immortalised on a bootleg album.
Can anyone recomend the best site to try and buy tickets for this on friday morning. I don't buy many concert tickets these days and there seems to be a lot of sites to choose from.
Speaking of reunion gigs, word on the street is that the Beatles are doing a one off later in the year. They only do Drum 'n Bass these days though.
There are just the three main sites to buy from plus a few others doing package deals. Tickets are priced at 55 pound

Squires, a brown mannie told me that taking a Rennie would cure indigestion caused by the Third Coming being resurrected too soon.
What a great day this was.

Quite looking forward to seeing this great band again.Me too.
I have been playing them all day. :cool:
By far the best album they did, pure class from start to finish especially the hidden track at the end of the CD. Only decent track on the first one is Fools Gold.
Something Jimmy Shand never did
220 000 tickets sold in just over a hour 150 000 in 14 minutes
I was one of the unlucky ones had no joy at all
anyone any spare tickets? lol
What a nightmare. My daughter was having trouble getting tickets, for this event. She asked me to try for her, as she kept getting booted out. I went on the site, and you have to try for tickets. It kept saying none available, after inputting their captcha. So the whole process starts again. Eventually got the tickets, but you have only a certain amount of time, to input details. She had been trying for a few hours, she was obviously doing something wrong. I managed it in about 15 Min's. But if you are very slow inputting data, you have one chance, and that is no chance.
Think you was just lucky Shaz i got my card details in the system and then it put me in another queue :confused

It only gives you so long, to input details. Have you looked in your basket. It will be there/or should be.

Did you get your ticket/s.
I tried but had no luck either. I now see tickets being sold on already for hundreds of pounds, I know this is nothing new but it really shouldn't be allowed.:(

Your opinion of the first album is shared by none. Fool's Gold isn't even on it - it was added to some versions after the event.
Rumour has it they'll be releasing tour dates including Glasgow shortly.........................
Did you get your ticket/s.
Afraid not nothing in the basket.........maybe we just cant compete up here after all we dont have high speed connections
Ah... That'll be because I wasn't that impressed with them at first & only went back to check out the first album after hearing the second.

I have the original album, which doesn't have Fool's Gold on it. It's not one of my favourite Roses songs, but that could be because I haven't listened to it as much as the others.
This is a live resurrection that we are inviting you to. :cool:
Stone Roses are also playing at T in the park next year. Maybe a good opportunity for those that missed out on the Manchester dates.:cool:
