she bangs the drums Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 So, I took a proper look at The Roses live videos on Youtube there. I thought they were pretty bad. They sound really flat live and the lead singer has an awful voice, I didn't realise quite how bad he was live. Not much energy on stage, just sort of all bunched up in the middle standing around. Yes, I'm sure it's brilliant in a field packed with hardcore fans for a comeback gig but lets be real, I'd wager the majority of Glastonbury would know Fools Gold, I wanna be Adored, maybe I am the Resurrection. It'll be another Gorillaz. They were around before I was born so I can't look at them with rose tinted spectacles, maybe I don't 'get' the whole Madchester thing, but from an impartial musical and performance point of view, they seem shit to me. Complete rubbish..... Gorillaz songs just did not translate to a big field with 70-80,000 people. I also thing you are being very patronising about Glastonbury punters, if they do play then there will be 10s of thousands of people who know Waterfall, Sally Cinnamon, The is The One and pretty much every other Stone Roses song. What you have stated is equivalent to saying that when Metallica played last year then punters would only know Enter Sandman or Nothing Else Matters when in reality thousands of people had their hands in the air singing every word to every song. Ian Brown is not a great singer but the rest of the band are fantastic live, I don't think there is a better drummer than Reni when it comes to rhythm and raw talent.

If the Stone Roses are as popular amongst the Glastonbury demographic as Metallica turned out to be then the Stone Roses shouldn't be booked, at all.

Look at the Glastonbury crowds running to another stage to songs outside of the three you mentioned (and this was just Ian Brown by himself!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF2eqf5VSro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atK3_wIdUEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEatT Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Wouldn't surprise me if the line up is announced tomorrow night at 7pm - just as I'm in the airport flying from Bristol to Newcastle. Last year the exact same thing happened as I was in Alicante airport flying home - it's fate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah okay, well if a big crowd going mad for a drunk arsehole on the Other Stage is rnough to wualify you for Pyramid headliner then we can have Paolo Nutini headline and all.

Slugworth Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Ian Brown is not a great singer but the rest of the band are fantastic live, I don't think there is a better drummer than Reni when it comes to rhythm and raw talent. Excellent, so an hour and a half of instrumentals will be great. They rely on the die hard fans to make their own gigs so special. Glastonbury will not be their own gig so i predict, if they do play, an absolute shambles of a headline set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest two of the other names in the hat for headliners Madonna and Florence are not the greatest of singers either, though Ian Brown would be able to get away with it with help from a passionate crowd.

Maybe they should replace Brown with someone from X-factor so the music sounds the same as on CD/vinyl/streaming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Is his voice even noticeable in a live crowd? Especially a crowd that is singing loud and a long anyway? Jagger sounded fab in 2013 btw, and I remember people saying similar things in the lead up to that. All in all, it only matters to people watching on TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glastonbury won't be that passionate. I don't doubt there will be fans of the roses there because clearly there will be, just not enough to be so forgiving.

It's definitely nowhere near as noticeable in a crowd than on tv though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been pretty vocal about how I don't get the whole Roses thing going on here but no need to be so tense. Just go somewhere else - it's Glastonbury PS. Nothing wrong with Paolo Nutini.
