The OP Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 BBC reporting a 24 year old died after falling at the gig.. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-22935494 In my opinion, jokes regarding this incident will mainly reference Going Down, Breaking Into Heaven and Waterfall. Possibly even Shoot You Down, Made of Stone and I Am the Resurrection if people really start to struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houston_bud Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 What a great day. I thought the Heaton Park gig was better if I'm honest, but still had a smashing time. Andrew Weatherall at the Subby afterwards was absolutely off the hook. A brilliant way to end the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonds2002 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I thought Heaton Park was better as well I was there on the Saturday. Admittedly I was goosed this time and only have sketchy memories of parts of the roses set. The atmosphere was good but not a patch on last year. Didn't bother about the view or Jake Bugg but in to catch the end of the Scream Team. Sound overall wasn't great - not the music but the sound system.

DAFC Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I think that sometimes bands are better off staying elusive and as an enigma. When the Roses first came along a handful of people at my school liked them, I'm guessing that the surprise factor along with a good supply of good pills was the main reason that the original Glasgow green event was so good. I sat on the fence about going to see them and judging by the videos I made the right choice in staying away. I've got recordings of the original gigs and the new gigs sound like a half arsed tribute band. Listening to thousands of pissed up neds pretending to be huge fans, since back in the day maaaan, getting the words and key changes wrong is my idea of hell and pisses all over their legacy.

young buck Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 roses were great. The gig itself was limited by factors out with their control which was rain and the wind blowing the sound about a bit. I got completely nutted and danced with a lassie the whole way through it after losing my mates because the massive phone traffic in one area shut down my signal presumably. All these things have to be accepted at gigs like this and was the reason I didn't bother with the brit gigs last year choosing instead to go to Amsterdam (indoor, ned free.) These gigs are normally hit or miss but I couldn't resist the lure of Glasgow for the history and potential atmosphere.People trying to down it though that weren't there.. come on?? Relax! you missed it, deal with it and move on. Music as ever is a subjective experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original event was so good because the band were young, on the up, figureheads and sound of a new generation etc. but in the days before mobile phones and social commentary poring over every detail it's taken on mythical status. That being said, it does not preclude them from being great now. If anything the musicianship they've shown live since coming back is far far better than back in the day You think people getting pissed and enjoying the music now are neds but back in 1990 they were cool kids? You're looking back with Roses-tinted glasses! The Roses and their fans had unfinished business; you decided not to go, great, but to call it from a couple of shitty phone video captures with your arse sitting on your sofa makes your point completely invalid. The atmosphere and performance, to me, were great. Just as they were in 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere and performance, to me, were great. Just as they were in 1990. a couple of points about this :-) The roses are much more popular now than they ever were. This of course means more neds per headcount but also IMO more neds in general. In 1990 they were a big indie band but hardly mainstream. They could never have sold as many tickets as they have in the past year. What happened was the 'oasis' factor in the mid nineties. With their simplistic tunes they battered the public into submission and made indie music massive. Oasis also attracted more thuggish fans than the roses ever did and now, ironically, the roses themselves have inadvertently taken up the slack with oasis having chucked it. I was at spike island and the vibe was very different to today's gigs. Hardly any drink and a lot more chilled. Happy Mondays gigs were always a bit more lairy with loads of casuals and not many girls. I would also say that the roses are far better musicians now although Brown's vocals at the original GG were the best I've ever heard from him. He was out his tits though cos we met them backstage and the pupils were like saucers haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 If there's a new album I hope it's in the style of the hidden track from Second Coming. I saw them post-reform at a festival in Lisbon in 2012, without the pissed up Brits singing / shouting along to every word like you'd get back home the atmosphere was a bit flat, as was their performance.
