Please no.

Great debut but Ian Brown's on stage charisma and his voice is terrible these days.

Suede or Pulp on the other hand......

[The Nal]

Suede

[MEGABOWL]

Won't happen.

[staggerlee]

I love the way this for some reason becomes a possibility every year. It's not gonna happen.

a) Ian Brown and the rest of the band now hate each other.

Ian Brown has a solo career.

c) Manny has a career with Primal Scream.

d) Reni is a producer/DJ (I think) and is doing OK.

e) Squires is now allegedly and artist and hasn't (apparently) picked up a guitar since the Seahorses quit and is still struggling with drug addiction.

I love(d) the Roses but hope they never sully the memory of what they were. It would never live up to expectation and - lets be honest - there would be no guarantee of them stomaching each other long enough to actually be guaranteed to turn up.

I think/hope not.

[she bangs the drums]

same here pal.

i was at spike - 1st proper outside gig that i ever went to.

horrendous gig - badly organised, rubbish sound (remember the wind howling across the site blowing it everywhere) nightmare to get out and home.

LOVED IT!!!

[grandadcollective]

I have to agree that neither will ever happen. It's a shame because this year I knocked off the last few from my list of bands I always wanted to see but somehow missed -

(Radiohead @Leeds were fantastic as were Blur @ Glasto this year who shot to the top of my all time list until The Pixies last night @ Brixton, a twenty year wait that turned out to be very worth my while and knocked Blur off top spot. A must for next years fest!)

-I've seen the Roses a few times and think it would be a car crash and spoil a lot of great memories for me. The Smiths on the other hand would be superb and could pull it off as long as Moz doesn't have a sulk! So I will have my fingers.

[Josepipe]

I guess The Smiths would be a tad more likely. Also isn't there some talk of Johnny Marr making an album with Ian Brown now?! Having said that, he certainly seemed to be enjoying himself on stage with the cribs on sunday!

As for the roses...never gonna happen. Ever.

[Zacko]

Really hoping Ian Brown plays next years festival, nice Pyramid slot would do me fine. Liking the new album so far.

[tylerdurden]

As much as we can pretend it might happen, they probably wont, The Smiths or The Roses, for obvious reasons really. Most reformations nowadays happen purely for the money, I love The Verve, but it pisses me off the way they knocked out a quick album that consisted of alot of Ashcrofts solo stuff he had lying around, toured a bit, then f**ked off and split up again.

I think the most likely possibility, is a band to reform of their own accord very soon and Glastonbury snaps them up, or maybe Led Zeppelin, because as far as I know, they've never actually headlined Glastonbury before, and seeing as its the 40th anniversary they might just want to go for it, but I think thats highly unlikely, and I dont even think Eavis would approach them. So lets just see... and hope

No.

It would be shit.

"Maybe if you see me begging on the streets you might find me doing The Stone Roses the next day," he said. "We did it [formed a band] because we wanted to change the world, we didn't do it because we wanted to be millionaires."

Well said sir, well said.

[Gingerbond]

Just wont happen!

[1waveydavey]

you must have seen them after reni left, there's no way you could call the line up of mani, reni and squire a rubbish band.

I think it's always possible they could bury the hatchet, squire even offered a song for ian brown's latest album.

With the 40th Glastonbury, it's the perfect opportunity.

And they owe Glasto a favour for cancelling in '95!

[mortosaurus]

I hate to rain on everyone's parade but Ian Brown laughed at rumours of a reunion in a recent interview, in fact he said it would never, ever happen and that rumours that he was even talking to John about it were utter Tosh. The man doesn't even like Indie music anymore. As much as I would love to see them, they are not going to. End. Of.

[pehaw]

Ian Brown said that in a recent interview.....? Mmmmmm

[sums98]

would be a dream...but think its unlikely....just keep the memories thats what i think...

[abu hamster]

If it does id be happy

but it wont

[llcoolphil]

The odds of them headlining are 20-1 which aren't amazing, there are rumours every year but with glasto hitting 40 next year and with the re release of stone roses this year - please tell me next year is the year and I will wet my pants!.

[llcoolphil]

Oh my.

Maybe one day it will happen

[The Dawg]

I am an even luckier bugger that played in a band that supported them 2 nearly 3 times. How anybody can say they were rubbish live is beyond me . I had never heard any of there stuff before the gig at Preston and they blew me away.

Please don't get back together though.

[biscant]

No

There is also no chance of the smiths, the libertines, pulp or any other big broke up British band people can't let go of. If any of these bands even reform I will post my adress on here and invite you all to come around and kick me in the balls.
