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.

This is so unbelievably wrong.

[dentalplan]

The Stone Roses have started blading? Can they do any tricks?

Not sure, Ian sounds like my Dad doing Karaoke. I doubt 20 years would have improved his vocals... 

Might have just been a one-off shitty performance but I doubt a 2016 reformation will be much better

People who like Muse but not The Stone Roses read The Sun.

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?

Well I do go to Uni in Manchester and when I'm not there I'm back home near Sheffield so that may have something to with it 

Nice avatar by the way

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

We wish Pixies would play R&L but they wont

Psycho and dead inside are good but I agree it was a sub-par album for muse. Still doesn't mean they are not a quality band. Better than the stone roses, lead singer has the vocals of a throat cancer victim.

Haha, ah that makes sense then!

Thank you, I love all of their/Mike Cortada's artwork!

 

Any thoughts on Radiohead perhaps, given their recent announcements?

dead inside was the worst track off it IMO, still, nice of you to make a joke about cancer victims.

sorry didn't realize we had the politically correct enforcement agency in here. i'm sure throat cancer victims all around the world will be offended all round the world. I've had family members die from cancer. doesn't mean you can't have a joke involving it, the premise of the joke is how shit Ian's voice is, not how great cancer is.

Muse haven't done a good album since 2006 so I'd say that sub-par for a Muse album isn't very good. Also Psycho and Dead Inside were the two most bland songs on that album. The Handler, Reapers and Defector were good but everything else was either boring or garbage.

I can't disagree with that

Also sorry to say again that Radiohead are extremely unlikely. But now you've brought up my hopes for Radiohead subbed by Muse

2nd law was average, resistance was one of their best albums... regardless, they'll play their "greatest hits" at a festival which will include mostly things from before 06.

I would like to hear Stone Roses cover of this 

 

My opinion on this Stone Roses vs Muse is that Muse blows them out of the water now and I like both of them. Stone Roses have one amazing album and one okay album and they are just a cash grab band now, they are not even trying to justify touring by releasing something or even attempting to write a new song and yes, their concerts are not that good now. Only good thing about it is that they are playing good songs so it's great singalong and stuff but performing is bad or I should say worse than before. It's not about singing and range that made Stone Roses good but Ian is so bad now it's painful to listen and their songs are not exactly hard to sing. 

 

Muse has 3 amazing albums, 2 good ones and 2 okay ones. They are always trying something new even if it's not that good like Unsustainable. Their live production is always amazing, even the drones looks okay (yeah they can't move fast but that's because they are not allowed to) and they sometimes play poppy setlists which sucks.

TL;DR
Both of them are not what they're used to be but Muse somehow still rocks and Stone Roses not so much

excellent, now it's not just gazza receiving on-sight downvotes

Muse were fantastic at Download 15. And their rendition of Citizen Erased there was better than that one but then agin it might be because it was the first time they have played it for me in 6 times of asking

They haven't done it the last few times they've been in Europe during the Summer, and they certainly wouldn't sub.

That's pretty irrelevant, the quality of their live performances isn't in question (everyone knows Ian Brown has shitty vocals now and had shitty vocal 20 years ago).

That was a great moment! I too had been patiently waiting to see them play Citizen Erased, so I was over the moon when they started playing it. Their whole set was great at Download, much better than their current setlists as part of their world tour.

Add in Assassin, Map of the Problematique, Bliss and Sunburn and it would have been almost perfect.

I think it's just the fact that if you're making cancer jokes anywhere you're likely a bit of a bellend, rather than us being the 'politically correct enforcement agency '. Sorry to break it to you.

Bloody hell bring back the cancer jokes.

People who listen to Muse are drones. 

[Cammers]

Caught the whole Muse set at Rock Werchter where they played Citizen Erased. It was amazing. Reapers followed by Stockholm Syndrome was incredible too.

I think they tried playing Assassin live on their current US tour but Matt forgot how to play it on guitar!

[Yellow_Fellow]

Doubt it, it's one of their easier ones for Matt 

[Biogeneric]

Cammers is right, it was their gig at Ulster Hall, Belfast, last year. I think it was more around the fact they hadn't played it in 8 years to be honest.

Realistically, it's not an easy song for the band to perform live at all, always an impressive number when they do though.

That's the one. I reckon I stumbled on it watching a blooper video a couple of weeks ago.
Would've hated hearing the first 10 second played and then them giving up!
