Anyone else heading to Manchester this weekend for the long awaited Resurection of The Roses?. I saw them back in Glasgow in1990 and Im really looking forward to It. Also can anyone suggest a good curry or boozer for a pre gig beer.?

I’ll be listening to the gigs in the garden 😉

Oh yes!! Sunday for me, unfortunately I’ll miss Primal Scream and Beady Eye, but who cares….bring on the resurecshyuuuun!! 😀

The OH and I are going Friday, I’m hoping it will be a classic but we all know what brown’s voice can be like live.

I’m going Friday. I’m pant-wettingly excited! It’s either going to be epic, or bloody awful music-wise! Atmosphere-wise I doubt you can go far wrong. It’s going to be utter madness! Fat bald blokes turning the clock back 20 years? Yes please ! 😀

Saturday for me

Yup, going Fri too!
Just dug out my ‘Reni’ hat AKA my raving hat. The amount of fields, clubs, industrial units etc that hat has been passed around doesn’t bear thinking about…*chewing face off* “mmmmm can I wear your hat mate? mmm” , “yeah go on then, as long as a get it back”… I always got it back! albeit a bit sweaty!

Getting just a tad excited now, can’t wait 8)

but we all know what brown’s voice can be like live.

Ian Brown has been brilliant the last 2 times i’ve seen him….did a couple of Roses tracks too for his last tour, and was spot on…my only concern is the band splitting up by sunday 😆

Bit like on here then. 😀

Going Sunday – have to say the travel in and out of the park seems to be a right pain in the arse

Well my kids were looking at some pictures of me last night, at the height of the Madcester nonsense. I had lots of hair! They reckon I look better bald! 🙂

Was meant to be going Saturday.

Sadly I’m in hospital so I won’t be able to make it..

Oh yes going Saturday

Been looking on u tube at the other gigs and they are looking much better than I remember. I fully expect to be very emotional.

One love

The Blue Bay for curry.
Best in the area at the mo.

Avoid the Mogul (just up the road in the disused church) at all costs. It’s vile.

It’s my birthday on Saturday, my brother lives in Manc and managed to score a couple of tickets last week from a mate who couldn’t make it. Just booked my train ticket for Saturday morning heading up from the South coast, ‘cited!

Friday night for me, can’t wait saw Ian Brown at the MEN last year (might of been year before) and he was awesome, did fools gold and I wanna be adored and the place just erupted

Some good recommendations It would seem , Im arriving in manchester at 11 and going to try and stay reasonably sober till at least Primal Scream. Strange support bands for saturday and sunday and cant say I’d really want to see plan B and Professor green.

See some of you there on Friday, gonna be epic:)

Mates down from Scotland.
Biking in the morning.
Wailers, Vaccines, Primal Scream, STONE ROSES.
Graeme Park at Sankeys.

I’m not sure a better Friday is possible!

[but we all know what brown’s voice can be like live.

Don’t worry about that -you will not hear Ian Brown. Or any of the rest of the band.
There’s a video on youtube of their previous gig, all you can hear is thousands of blokes going “I AM THE RESURRECTION…” and actually singing the guitar parts out loud. Might as well have been a football match.
If that’s your idea of a good gig, good luck to ya!

Ha ha just texted these to my mate in Hyde and his reply was “**** hell you bringing a gun ?, Prestwich is like the Gorbals”. 😆

You sit tutting at your YouTube vids Dez. I’ll be having a ball singing along to the guitar bits! 😉

Everyone knows its basically gonna be 30-50-year-old-male group karaoke. It’ll still be fan-bloody-tastic!!!

@teetosugars

Does that mean there’s a ticket needs to find a home?

Oh yeah, get well soon and all that, too.

Er, more like 40-50 yr old bloke karaoke 😀

binbins!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess who’s gonna be there on Friday. Go on matey…guess.

Hint: 2 d’s

😀

Graeme park? Aww would love to go, remember going to the hacienda “back in the day” to listen to him. To old now, well, not unless someone shoves some disco biscuits down my neck 😆

Yeah I’m going on Saturday, very much looking forward to it.

I’m normally pretty ambivilent about nostalgia driven stuff like this and there’s no way it’ll be anything like back in the day but still…I was too young the first time round and I was utterly obsessed with them as a band throughout my youth so there’s no way I’m gonna miss them playing in my back yard.

I never, ever thought in a million years I would get to see them live. Think I’d of only been marginally more surprised if The Beatles somehow reunited with the full original line-up.

^^^THIS – day out with your mates, seeing the band that first got me interested in music when I was 15 – can’t wait!

**** me, and your mate lives in HYDE???

I’m from Hyde…and that’s a valid point…Bernard Manning called it a roundabout with chippys..in reality it’s a shithole…

Blimey! I didn’t realise the event was being sponsored by a leading lingerie manufacturer catering for the better endowed lady. When does your Learjet touch down in Manchester Bravissimo? 😀

the warm up gigs have had good reviews in a certain arse licking weekly paper….

gonna be a football crowd, good luck!!

I’m there on sunday, looking forward to it. Mates coming up from Ross, group of us together for the first time in 10+ years, going to be a memorable day with a fantasic soundtrack

Off to see them too, albeit in a few weeks when they head to Singapore. Can’t wait!

Haterz hatin.

You sit tutting at your YouTube vids Dez

No tutting. Just a bemused cringe.
I’m sure you’ll all have fun and sore throats the next day!

Cringerz cringin

Pill’edds pillin…

They’ll be more casualtys there than Selly Oak… 😆
