Stone Roses confirm gig cancellations
19-10-11
MANCHESTER t-shirt vendors The Stone Roses are to reform for a new series of concerts they won't turn up to.

This is the one we've waited for them to cancel at the last minute
It has been 15 years since the La’s tribute band last disappointed thousands of fans by cancelling a show at the last moment because they were convinced their arms had turned into a brace of live trout.

Stone Roseologist, Wayne Hayes, said: "People are really looking forward to their lengthy conversations with Ticketmaster about refund policies, which has to be more enjoyable than seeing the band up close these days because they currently resemble an Altrincham Jobstart course for unemployed zombies.

"Not so much 'Made of Stone' as 'Made of Bits of Gristle and Tracksuit'."

Venues are already being scouted for the group to not play the two-dozen songs they managed to grind out during their 28-year career and it is felt that demand could be inexplicably high enough for them to fill the whole of Wembley Stadium, with the obvious exception of the stage.

Hayes said: "While their inevitable failure to turn up might be disappointing it will be a veritable Woodstock compared to paying eighty quid to watch Ian Brown shuffle and mumble his way around the stage, shaking his head like a nursing home resident refusing to take a bath.

"It's just possible that their legacy as a live act has something to do with the fact it coincided with an era when most of the audience contained enough Ketamine to drop a rhino."

The group will promote the not-tour with a four track EP of aimless wah-wah guitar, set for release on holographic 12-inch some time in the early 2040s.

Did either of you go and see Beck in Dublin Castle for the sole reason that The Seahorses were supporting ???

Then after the gig hurdle a barrier as John Squire was behind it and you wanted his autograph only to be choke slammed to the ground by a bouncer.....

haha! no. nice

I used to love the Roses. Absolutely fucking love them. Looking back I don't really see what the mad appeal was. Both albums had some strong moments (the second one far fewer) but their popularity is tough to understand.


Are you all too cool for them?

we're all too old for them.

had they reformed 10 years ago i would of creamed my st bernard boxer shorts.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

I too went to that Beck/Seahorses gig at Dublin Castle, only to see The Seahorses.
As it happened, I was disappointed by them and thought Beck was amazing.
Thus ended my John Squire fascination.

Good info.

Are any of these venues less than massive?

 

[evil bandit]

Apparently the dates are a bit off but the venues are right, I think Slane is down there as being the Oxegen weekend and on a Friday?!?!?

From what I can tell they are all enormo domes or festivals.

Bum.

I wonder if they'll come to the US

 

[rettucs]

anyone look for tickets? I did for the crack, though had no intention of buying one. Something I'd never seen before happened. Cheeky fucks added in some mp3 album to the order for an extra 12 quid. Said I'd be able to drop it from the order before paying, but I was never given the option. Unbelievable pack of chancers.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Was it stone roses album or something completely unrelated?

 

[rettucs]

Was it stone roses album or something completely unrelated?

it was a stone roses best of from back when they could arguably still hold a note. So yeah, completely unrelated!

 

[rettucs]

hah, it didn't sell out after all that frenzy. I just did a search again now and guess what, no mp3 album.

fuckin chancers. They probably made loads of money when people were panic-buying this morning. Not sure whether its the promoters, the band or ticketmaster who are responsible for this but its bad form.

 

[Stan Bowles]

I bought a ticket at 8am this morning, the mp3 link was a separate drop down menu, didn't have to remove anything.

 

[rettucs]

I fully realised that it was probably my browser that wouldn't let me remove it from my order. I still reckon its cheeky though. People will be in a bit of a panic and will end up buying it without realising it. Who goes to ticketmaster to buy mp3s anyway?

I would have been excited for something like this about 20 years ago.

But yeah, rubbish

 

[Kermit McDermott]

I LOLed when he started naming the colours.

same, but I still reckon I'd have thought it shite. And my standards were in the gutter back then. Like, I loved the Seahorses album.
