to think the Stone Roses are shit?

[WallToWallBastards]

£65 for a band you need to be off your face on MDMA to listen to???? Really?

I also hate The Smiths. Apparently I should be banished from Manchester.

part with 167 quid for top tier stadium tickets
Sod that, it was standing in the mud dancing around or nothing, as far as we were concerned!

See you there

Who do you rate as an artist / band, OP?

Made of Stone was superb. I actually cried at the Warrington bit.

'Run dad! You can do it! '

I've purposely not commented on the Heaton park gig. Apart from the Whalers and the fireworks at the end my memory is rather hazy. Not sure if Etihad will have the same buzz

YABVU

I bloody love Stone Roses and The Smiths, music of my youth, are you more of a Barry Manilow fan? Horses for courses and all that

Oh dear Yoko, oh dear

I will admit that Shane Meadows' work is extremely Marmite. I'm in the 'love' brigade, you may be on the other side

I absolutely loved the queuing up parts of the film - it was truly fab to see middle aged people sprinting down the road breathlessly, having dumped the kids with the babysitter, behaving like teenagers all over again, where you get the sense it would have been the End Of The World if they hadn't got a ticket. I thought it was lovely. And I think the final 15 minutes which is all set at the Heaton Park gig, and shown as stills rather than moving images, was incredible.

Having spent an hour this morning, on four devices, and now £270 lighter for the effort, I cannot express how unreasonable you are OH me too, Ds1 screaming at his laptop in the kitchen, several of his mates screaming down the phone from their laptops and DS2 away at uni screaming at his then HUGE rejoicement when they secures enough tickets. I was still in the queue after arranging to go in work late to help out when he announced I wasn't needed... what a waste of an hour my heart sinks every time he asks me to help with the online ticket panic, and I tut loudly at the language, oh the language coming from the kitchen neighbours must have thought we had won the lottery or something when his confirmation came through

I'm feeling excited for everyone getting tickets for them feeling the heartbreak of missing out on the Courteeners

I'm another one who spent this morning trying desperately to get tickets and eventually I succeeded. I can't bloody wait, it will be my middle aged Spike Island. There again, I'm Mancunion and I do not know anyone who does not like them, even the young kids round here are fans. It is going to be amazing.

I don't think anything will beat the joy of taking my mam to the Stranglers last year, best gig I've ever been to.

Mum I'm Manchester too. Did you know you can be arrested for saying that the Stone Roses are shit?

The Courteeners are one of the best live bands you'll ever see. I've seen them many times and it's always so unbelievably party happy.

Maid they are incredible, and just one example of the excellent bands the Manchester area has given birth to

Extra date announced due to cynically predictable unprecedented demand :)

Also in the Warrington bit. Bloke with Paul Weller haircut and a face like a walnut points at himself and says 'I'm forty!'.

He looked about 65.

YABU. Was 16 in 1990 and The Stone Roses defined that mad year where I shed some baby fat and became cool(ish). I still love, love, love their debut album. Nothing I hear again will be as intense as what I listened to from 1989 to 1995.

Bloody hate most of Britpop. Hate Oasis but Blur won me over eventually.

Never seen Stone Roses live.

Scone nooo I love Oasis and Blur forever

Oasis are just awful.

S'true.

I saw them at Glasgow Green when I was 19 :)

I was more of a Pulp and Suede girl. And the Manics.

I saw them in Glasgow a couple of years ago. Was excellent. Just had to dodge all the out their face balding knob ends in their 1990 bucket hats.
And yes Ian Brown is a truly shit singer but a brilliant front man IMHO.

Forgot that tickets went on sale today, had a look about 11.30 still loads of tickets available fortunately.
Hope that it's better than Heaton Park because that wasn't very good.

Ah, the maniacs. Spent many teenage hours coupes up in my room listening to the maniacs and trying to make sense of Kafka.

*couped

*manics!

Still not used to the new autocorrect on my phone
