Writer described it as "The Anthem of the Summer". A meff.

Was a really great gig. I've been lucky the two time's I've caught them he was at his best.

Parts of Heaton Park were pretty bad and saw them in Dublin and he was a little bit better. Difficult to go see them multiple times playing the same show with a singer who cant sing the songs.

Anthem of the summer vs Hymn for the weekend?

Another reason I've fancied the Friday for Etihad. Certainly don't fancy his chances on the Sunday. I would love to see them in a small venue if they done a warm up gig. If he doesn't feel like he has to shout for 50,000 people then you have more chance of his vocals being better.

I remember at T i was standing next to some massive Roses fan, and he said his wife had went to another stage to see someone else, as she loved them but had seen Ian Brown live loads of times and he sounded horrific every time. The one time she didn't turn up and he sounded good. How he laughed.

Different show this time though. There'll be people holding hands and building walls....

I still can't believe that lyric. Its possibly the worse lyric since "Strap on Sally, chased us down the alley, we feared for our behinds"

That's a much better lyric.

That is like saying ulcerative Colitis is a lot better than Crohn's disease.

Not much luck with vocalists, our John.

Although to be fair, it does sound like the monitors were shoddy.  There's something about the way he and the drummer are singing that makes me think they can't hear themselves.

I like the bit just before the 2nd chorus when he obviously just thinks "Fuck it - let the drummer sing it".

I was in the crowd for that too

Just a shame the drummer could not drum 

[CaledonianGonzo]

That line about the fear of being buggered by Strap On Sally is one of the oddest lyrics ever to feature on a top ten single.

[Keithy]

Wonder if they play 'All For One' at Baggy Mondays???

Yep me too.  First festival.  I did have vague plans of seeing The Seahorses, but had no idea when they were playing and no idea where I was.

I was trying to find my way back to the Pyramid and came up to some sort of stage.  Then I heard some John Squire like guitar playing, checked my guide and was well happy.

Indeed. That lyric covers sexual adventure, fear, drama, pursuit of bottoms, alleys (reflecting the alleys behind many North West working class homes like you see on that there Corrie) and some running.  No hand holding or wall building at all.

Obviously never going to happen....but has Marr ever played with Rourke and Joyce since the court case?

I guess from the 724 pages Moz devoted to it in his court case, he's still not over it...

I saw Johnny Marr and Andy Rourke play together in Brooklyn May 2013

That was the year the stage began to sink, wasn't it? Miserable afternoon.

Think I saw Beck on the Pyramid Stage after them...and it stopped raining.

I remember watching that Seahorses set on TV (or what they showed of it).... the bit whre it goes 'these waters run deep...' and he turns away and gives up.... painful to watch. You had to feel for him abit. Clearly thinks 'feck it' when he goes out in the crowd.

"Win a chance to sing with one of the Stone Roses. To apply, text "tuneless gobshite" to the number below and you could be singing conveyor belt Britpop at Glastonbury this year".
