Stone Roses Reforming? Ian Brown Says No
March 17, 2009 by Dave Parrack
The Stone Roses were a fantastic band… in their day. Now, maybe not so much. If they get together again for a reunion tour, they risk destroying the legacy they have so far created which leaves them as one of the greatest British bands ever. So would they risk it?
This question has been kicked around for a while now. Mani seems up for it, Ian Brown most certainly isn’t, and John Squire and Reni haven’t aired their views in public as of yet. So the chances are against it happening.
However, The Mirror claimed today that the Stone Roses are set to reform later this year, with 21 gigs booked in the UK, and possibly the Coachella Festival in California as well. This reunion would supposedly coincide with the re-release of the band’s self-titled debut album, which has received plenty of plaudits down the years.
Paul McCartney New Album Free With ‘The Mail On Sunday’ Tomorrow May 18th
May 17, 2008 by Dave Parrack
Paul McCartney has had a mixed last few years, having been married to Heather Mills, and then going through a very messy, very public divorce.
While all of this was going on, he was still writing and recording music, and released Memory Almost Full in 2007.
The album has already sold 100,000 copies in the UK, but now everyone who wants a copy can do so for free, as it’s being given away with every copy of The Mail On Sunday tomorrow, May 18th.
The give-away was announced a couple of weeks ago, and I first read the news on fellow b5 blog The Beatles Invasion. I decided to wait until now to tell of my readers so that they wouldn’t forget about it and miss out on their copy.
