Stone Roses in Dubai, 21 Feb 2013
Just found out about this and bought myself some tickets - http://www.thestonerosesdubai.com/
I am literally stupidly excited about it, thought my chance to see them had long since passed. :D:beer::thumbup: |
Re: Stone Roses in Dubai, 21 Feb 2013
Snagged a pair myself about 20 minutes ago.
Heard about this one 6 months ago but was always dubious it might happen. So glad it is though. Now where did I put my flares ad hoodie? |

To be honest I figured the whole reunion would be a dreadful car crash and end up in out-of-tune tears. Extremely glad to have, so far, been proved wrong.
Any idea the capacity of the Media City venue? |

I would rather go and watch Al Jarreau...not least because I honestly thought he had died some time ago.;) Incidentally, how did you guys buy the tickets when that link merely allows you to register for pre-sale in advance?

Re: Stone Roses in Dubai, 21 Feb 2013
ok so in 8 years here i haven't really given a shit about any band that's visited. THIS however is a ****ing dream come true, was only just too young to be allowed to go to spike island and have wanted to see them ever since. If there is one band i would say is a favourite its the roses, holy ****ing shit the stone roses come to my doorstep.
that just made my ****ing month. legend 2 tickets bought. |

Re: Stone Roses in Dubai, 21 Feb 2013
I went home to see them this year and i had my doubts but they were very good .
Ian Brown's voice is not the best but the band were still really tight and the crowd were good as well , proper old school . I was lucky to see them at Spike Island all them years ago , well what i remember of it ! The only thing that will not match will be the crowd . U.A.E crowds are pretty shite to be honest , a lot of them will not even know who the Roses are , they're just event cattle , it's a shame they can't just stick to making an arse of themselves at brunch ! I saw Ian Brown in Dubai a few years ago and he was pretty good but the crowd were clueless . He actually nearly chinned some pissed up fella at the front of the stage. I'll probably still go ;) |

Re: Stone Roses in Dubai, 21 Feb 2013
I too hate Dubai crowds (although they're no better in AD). You chaps are right. People often have no idea about the band/performer and would rather listen to their own idiotic voices instead of the band.
I was in two minds as I'm not a massive Stone Roses fan, but that reminder has decided for me. I'm fed up with events that I have paid good money for being ruined by selfish morons. |
Re: Stone Roses in Dubai, 21 Feb 2013
have they actually made more songs than Fools gold :blink:

Re: Stone Roses in Dubai, 21 Feb 2013
We might need a separate thread to list all the bands whose first album was magnificent, and was never equalled by their later stuff......... they are definitely one of them..........

Just scrolled through all of their advertised events and unable to find it. Sold out already, perhaps? So how much are the tickets selling for?

Re: Stone Roses in Dubai, 21 Feb 2013
I was at the Glasgow Green gig in 1990, which according to the band themselves was the best gig they ever played (see below). It was in a big tent and was the best gig I ever attended. They are having another gig at Glasgow Green next year I think.
http://www.thestoneroses.co.uk/categ.../glasgow-green Hopefully Dubai hasn't sold out and I can get to gig. |
Re: Stone Roses in Dubai, 21 Feb 2013

Why wouldn't it? Ignore Mentalist & his usual negativity. You should be used to him wamting everything to go wrong for everyone else by now.The event organiser is a good guy and the only reason it wouldn't is because of something to do with the band, much the same as with any other event anywhere. |
