my comparison is to point out the reception the band would get not unto the actual music. Stop confusing yourself. Reading festival with 90,000 people is a far fucking call from an "indie night club" LOOOL. please educate yourself.

But my point was that the reception would be nothing alike which has something to do with the music anyway. Also as Dental said they have the sing along anthems and if you have any doubts go to any indie night club (LOOOL) and then wait for them to play I Am The Resurrection.

I should phrase it better in fairness. If your going to have a band headlining i this day and age that is only barley classified as rock (stone roses) then they would have to be someone huge like an Oasis reunion or something, i just can't see stone roses being a good headliner. A reading festival headline tune would be something like, smells like teen spirit or knights of cydonia for example.

in the sense of the demographic that goes to reading (16-21 year old middle class white kids) which is at least half of the grime audience by now

but reading is not really the place for it

What?

not really, look at the crowds they get anywhere other than brixton.

I live in Manchester half the time, and the other half of the time I live in Derby

BBK are popular as fuck in both areas- none of which are Brixton.

hahaha that would be hilarious. I hope they do come, but they could never get close to a headline understandably.

Might be an unpopular opinion but Stone Roses are dull to me, just can't get in to them! I'm a fan of other 90's Britpop stuff but I dunno about TSR, anyone suggest any of their songs that might change my mind? 

 

Btw, I haven't listened to too much TSR to get a great impression, Fool's gold is a good'un tho

The Roses aint really britpop. Different era.

There arent load of tunes as they werent around that long really, just stick the first album on. If you dont like that then there is no hope for you.

Not that I'm involved with this debate, but I've got several Indie/Rock clubs near me that I go to regularly, and TSR never seem to be played.

Perhaps it's a regional thing?

 after last year and 2014 I think they should be going for bigger, more established acts to subheadline.

After last year and 2014 it's obvious they won't.

Any conversation about genre is retarded because their is no definition of any genre or artists claimed to be within those definitions.

To respond to the original point, of course grime is mainstream. If it wasn't then we would be talking about it on a R&L festival forum.

What about when people name drop obscure bands on the R&L forum for their elite hipster supervillian status?

Elite hipster supervillain is the most mainstream of all supervillains.

probably more of a northern thing as they're from manchester. comparing an indie night, to a festival is hard anyway

can't tell if you're joking but that is a banger live. Honestly, there is no song that gets as good a reception as that at reading in recent times that i've seen. (look up knights of cydonia live reading 2011)

Knights of Cydonia gets crowds going more than most songs tbh.

Although it's hardly more of a festival tune than most Stone Roses singles.

Knights of Cydonia is an excellent festival tune, but it's no Citizen Erased.

The stone roses were shit in the 90s and they're even worse now they're old, blading, fat and can't sing.

outside of Manchester barely anyone cares about them and most who do are people trying to be 'cool' and were still shitting themselves in the 90s.

Yup you're correct, they didn't do sell out London, Scotland and Ireland shows.

[oli98]

Pixies are gunna be around Europe at the time, reading though the forum most people are saying they are unlikely to do RandL .personally I see no reason why they wouldn't do it? Just booked Bilbao Spain can't wait to see them and RandL would be the cherry on the top. would be an excellent Sub for RHCP

[conroy17]

Pixies would be perfect but nah it won't happen, unfortunately
