O'Doyle Rules Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Imagine would be likely given he is doing the UK festival circuit and hasn’t played for a while? JP headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 It's a tricky one whether I'd go to see him Plus - great back catalogue, with solo material that suits his voice better than the Roses songs, so less likely to be a vocal disaster. He's an undeniably charismatic stage presence. Minus - Terrible live vocals, even taking the above into account. Last solo album was total gash.

Dronx Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 He’ll definitely not be on my list of people to see, he’s at tramlines which I’ll probably have to watch unless there’s something else on I prefer. Seen the Roses a couple of times and they were good but not got much interest in his solo stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) He headlined the Other 15 years ago and that wasn’t long after he started incorporating Roses tunes into his solo sets. Remember it going absolutely mental when he opened with Adored. He is a tough one to place nowadays, it kind of depends if he’s playing Roses stuff or is sticking to his solo material. JP headliner as a more “indie” alternative to Swift and PSB doesn’t seem unreasonable. Edited February 16, 2020 by Hugh Jass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I would say he’s too big for the John Peel Stage. The slots he’s taking are considerable, and I think the crowd he’d attract would be pretty damn big. Later on the Other Stage makes more sense, but I can totally see him swerving the fest completely.

I do like some of his solo stuff. New album was shite overall though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether it was expectation that made me hate it so much. By far the worst of his solo efforts. Take Humanz - I was so disappointed with that album because I enjoyed the other Gorillaz albums so much, but recently gave it another listen and didn't mind it. No disappointment at all because I already knew it was no Demon Days. Maybe his last album isn't all that bad if it's not being compared to Stellify? Or maybe it actually is really shit? 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedgeAntilles Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I love the Stone Roses and am fairly partial to most of Ian Brown's early solo stuff but my god, his set at Rockness back in 2010 was horrendous. Think I left halfway through even though I was plenty high on street drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernintendo Chalmers Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Yeah, the last album was poor but there's no denying he's got some great numbers in the back catalogue. Arguably more than the Roses, albeit not as iconic, hit-for-hit. The age-old issue with King Monkey has always been the live vocals but in fairness I can't ever hear his voice above my own!

Dark Star Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Would be tempted to see him, it's been a long time since saw him do solo stuff. Whatever year The World Is Yours came out is the last time I saw him, the old o2 Academy in Birmingham (before it moved). That 05 set on the Other was great. The new album is awful though.

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) All this chat is making me very nostalgic and I'm now in a Storm Dennis-driven Sunday afternoon Roses/Brown YouTube rabbit-hole.

Woffy Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Anyone remember John Squire - during the Seahorses days - wearing Levi’s still with the massive brown cardboard thing on they used to have on the back pocket when still hanging up in the shop?

Tommy Dickfingers Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Would love to see Ian Brown. I think some of his solo stuff is brilliant. Probably gonna head down that Neighbourhood while it’s on my doorstep to see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
