Ian and John need to sort it out. I read that John actually sent Ian a record and Ian thought it was good. But he decided to not put it on his album and he never got back to John. That's sad man, really sad. Surely they can shake hands blame the drugs and move on?
Have you listened to some of the lyrics of Brown's latest album? The bitterness he still undoubtedly still holds towards Squire even after all these years is really saddening.
@Gregorskorino i would have the same bitternes...he walked out on the roses..they were on the verge on something great...and he jumped ship..ian is the man anyway..listening to this attempt at solo work..seals that for me..
@hoppybhoy71 well if your gonna throw blame about why not start with reni ? something a lot of people conveniently forget. i dont know why cos the guy was as important as any of the others.
john squire's amazing. love his solo stuff, wish he hadn't stopped, although i love his art. he's a true renaissance man - he can do anything. i've got his back the whole way. i think the roses should reform for charity. they'd make shit loads of cash. and cash saves lives. just a thought johnny boy.
squire has still got what it takes musically but he is not a frontman or a singer. He should get a new band together and make an album that would erase the memory of how poor the seahorses were and how bad his signing is on his solo work. He will go down in history as the man who walked out on the best band in the world to piss it all away with 2nd rate efforts.
it's in the last fifteen seconds of each round...to measure the weakness.. then gogogo with all the momentum of the earth in the feet- all tho kilos into the space of a fist but with brotherly Love (even in a guitar!)
i must be the only stone roses fan who doesn't think they should get back together. they were magical and thats how it should be left as far as im concerned they said it all in their songs what else could they write if they reformed?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You have to admire the loyalty of the Roses fans who are still sticking by these guys, despite the relentlessly shite output of both Squire and Brown. At least Mani protected himself by joining an established band!
bet u like oasis 2? like that is a down fall to someones music taste? I actually like this squire album its a nice grower thou not breaking music bounderies but still i nice mellow listen. If squire felt the need to protect himself by joining a good band then he would have. what the fuck do u know? by reading your last comments sounds like nothing
I agree with you on the Squire thing - he doesn't need to join another band to protect himself, he's always been capable on his own. The Roses could have had the same success as they had with a different singer but they definitely wouldn't have done without any of the other three.
I think John should stop painting and pick that bloody guitar up again... then go apologize to Ian, reform the Roses. Imagine how much money they'd get if they reformed.
when i first picked up this album, i thought it sounded a bit naff, but after a bit it grew on me and just as i really started liking it i left my girlfriend...only to realsie the CD was @ her house, DOH!!
Squire failed? I don't think so mate. He was the driving force behind the Roses and both his solo albums are quality. Doesn't sound like much of a failure to me.
And F.E.A.R doesn;t 'say it all' it really doesn't.
i never said album,i said song,and what about his solo albums,the seahorses album was bought out of curiosity,i was one of them,silly people.and were did squires solo albums get too.
dont you think it was undignified,ad also they have one more album in them,i personaly dont think it would happen,but just to give people a chance to see them live that havent seen them,even for charity,mani should tell them to get their act together.
I think reforming would go against everything they stood for.I love the fact that they could have been the biggest band in the world but went to the pub instead.
and also the stone roses wasnt about one face,it was about the four of them,they are one of the only bands that people know eveyone of their names like the beatles.
I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Please view my clip of some 1930's boxing tobacco cards. They include Max Baer, Joe Louis, Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey and many more.
better song than I expected. After I heard The Sea Horses album I stopped listening to Squire. His Roses stuff is transcendant at times. Always makes me feel better after listening to them. If only they could make ammends. One can dream anyway...
Well thats his problem. great guitar player and songwriter and artist but should shove his microphone upon his **** I love John Squire, but for his arts and guitar playing. Long live the Seahorses!
"Enjoy your days, they're precious and few..."
Don't give up the music John, the two albums were wonderful British Dylan-esque pieces.

He's not sang proper since 1994 because he's not had john there to write something called a MELODY. Learn how to listen you cock sucker
