Ian Brown: Roses will never tour, Sex Pistols the greatest band ever
Posted: 07 Aug '08, 15:08
Talking at a screening of a new film on the Sex Pistols, ex-Stone Roses singer Ian Brown has said that his former band will never tour again.
"No chance... not in the next three lifetimes," was Brown's response to being asked if the Roses would ever get back together, reports The Guardian. And on the Pistols:
"The Sex Pistols are the best band that's ever been. I think they've got the best set of songs any band has had, any time.
"They showed us as kids... that you didn't have to be some middle-class virtuoso musician. It was all about expressing yourself and it didn't matter where you came from - you could get into music and that's what [Johnny Rotten] showed us."
And they said naughty words on television!
-
Thank God for that.
REMEMBER READING 1996!

Ian Brown
is such a fucking knob. I love his music, but what a dour, boring personality.
-
do you two ever do anything
apart from sit on this forum and slag people who have done more with their lives?
-
yes, he does
-
oooooh handbags
And the answer to your question is "no, they don't do anything else"
But they make valid points. Ian Brown is the WORST live act I have ever seen, and his point about the sex pistols is clearly bollocks
-
Reforming the Roses would be the worst thing to happen to music
since John Squire's solo album.
I'm sure they'd rather be fondly remembered as a band that defined an era and inspired a generation than one exposed as a bunch of one trick ponies cashing in on former glories.
-
someone is an ian brown fanboy
-
I always remember the Plan B review
of their 'Best Of' album.
"Forget them, they changed nothing."
-
That review
could be talking about either the Pistols or Roses
-
or possibly both
-
well the Pistols did change stuff
whether you like it or not
-
thank god for that
now we can just attack him for sicking stone roses' music on the world
-
Doesn't Noel G say..
"We would never have happened without the Stone Roses"
Theres a reason to dislike them.
-
Clearly we wind you up too which is a start...
so get that sand out of your vagina you prissy little tart.

Ian Brown - biggest twat in the world?
I think so.
And The Ramones did the whole 'not being able to play instruments very well' thing before the Pistols, and better.
All in all, everything he's said there is a load of old rubbish.
-
indeed, plus
Frigging in the Rigging is probably the best B-side ever.

what do ian brown
sex pistols, and stone roses have in common?
they were all fucking shit.
-
peace in a pod
the Roses and the Pistols made tow of the greatest debut albums EVER
their timing was stupendous and lucky
both shoulda stopped there
PiL had their moments,
but they are fucking peas in a pod
Imagine that
Peaking at 20
How would you end up?
Defensive and humourless and paranoid.
Probably.
Me too.You also.
But damn those two records.
For shit.
If you dont like them, you are deaf or just making a stance. Good for you.-
I believe I misssspelled two
won't happen again
-
i
agree pretty much entirely. well said.
great albums, brilliant timing... and that's pretty much it, isn't it.
defenesless, humourless, and paranoid.
-
ALSO
really, who cares what ian brown has to say nowadays, when he comes out with songs like sister rose that get remixed by various production. that's the future, regardless of what he thinks. big big tune.
-
Really?
The worst you've *ever* seen? Crikey. I'm pretty sure some of the bands I've been in could change your mind.
-
good for me :D
-
I'm glad somebodies not reforming for a change
perhaps a few other bands could follow this example and not reform.
-
-
"good" and "wrong"
in that order
