He's playing in Doncaster right? Not Sheff?

I saw him at the Octagon last year. He came on, did a tune and then pronounced to the crowd "I look like a monkey, but I feel like a lion.

Class.

Just got back from the gig.... WOW :wow: What a night!
He was playing at Doncaster Dome, it was'nt that well advertised to be honest. Was a really good atmosphere & he had a laugh and a joke with the crowd.

Mani was at the gig aswell (did'nt play together) but still...

Played four Roses' songs all-together.

Highlight was probably the final song "Waterfall". Low point was when he did a version of "Submission" by the Pistols. Was great to hear it live, but he murdered it if I'm being honest.

Overall though an amazing gig :thumbsup:

Was also at the gig Ian Brown played a blinda. Also went 2 see Mani at the aftershow what a legend had me in stitches. Heard the complete stone roses are playing at the leadmill is it worth a visit.

I saw Mani outside, having a fag! Didn't really notice him until he was pointed out to me, but once I heard his dulcet tones, there was no mistaking the little fella!

Brilliant gig... Brown just gets better and better. Oh, I hope the Roses rumours for next year are true! :D

Be good though, eh SnakeyB?! Although, on second thoughts, would it be as good as we want it to be? Reunions are generally a massive let down.

Still, bet Squire could do with the money - he seems to be very quiet at present.

Of course it would be good! But i think its one of those things that should never be relived as maybe it wouldnt have the same magic it did 1st time around. . . .not that i ever saw stone roses cos im only 20!

I did!! Although, I'm pretty ashamed to say that apart from them being fantastic, I can't remember that much about it. :blush: You know, what songs were best and stuff. I just remember it being very very very good.

Ah, the olden days, when it were all flares and hooded tops round here. ;)

Hiya all, just wondered if anyone knows anything about The Complete Stone Roses, they are playing the Leadmill with Peter Hook on 4th December?

Any good? Is it worth a visit?

I've seen Complete Stone Roses and they are a good band. The singers voice is great.

Support comes from local band The Golden Age aswell. Check them out if you can. :)

made the jaunt over to the 0161 to see the monkey man at the MEN Arena and I have to say it was probably the best gig I've ever been to.....
vocally he was a lot stronger than the last time I heard him and the band and him were on top form...all the classic solo stuff from 'my star' to 'longsight' and then roses tracks to boot!...

I was tempted to nip over and see him again after such a top gig in Donny. However I was kinda pre-occupied
on the 3rd... :rolleyes:
