CityDave94 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The Charlatans are legends, never seen them live unfortunately. Missed them last year when they toured. Going to be playing Glasgow, Queen's Park Recreation Ground on the Sunday 30th June. Maybe go along this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Be mad to think 30 years ago that Tim Burgess would be the top boy while Ian Brown would be reduced to doing his own karaoke by way of gigs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Uproar, that's a blast from the past, that made me go to YT and watch a couple of their music videos just now. Still going according to wiki, though their last album was in 2015. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd gone primarily to see some other acts on the bill, but Charlatans absolutely blew me away. Definitely one of the best live bands I've seen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Really wanted to go see them with Ride on the co-headline tour they did in the US last year, however my wife was inconsiderate enough to give birth 10 days prior and I was absolutely knackered. Seems to be becoming a thing for British bands that aren’t as big over here; Suede and the Manics did one and the tickets were only $45. Charlatans/Ride was only $40. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I think most people would say that John Squire was the brains behind the Stone Roses and by miles a better songwriter while Ian Brown's strength was purely being the frontman with an easily recognisable singing style and an attitude. Ian Brown's solo career has proved this, initially he had some success built on his previous reputation but it quickly got old. I didn't didn't go to Rock Ness the year Ian Brown performed but I could hear him sing 8 miles away as the wind carried the music up the glen to where I lived at the time and I got the full experience of his recognisable singing style , .....what would that be at the time maybe 15-18 years of performing live and he still can't f***ing hold a note, flat as a pancake. It was dreadful for someone of that experience not to learn and push himself to improve. I also heard the The Prodigy's set blown up the Glen by the wind in my direction and there was nothing wrong with how they sounded, even if the sound would fade and then come back. That was quite enjoyable, sitting in the garden 8 miles away from Dores and being able to hear The Prodigy. Tim Burgess I think is a far better frontman and songwriter and just solidly a decent guy. The Charlatans have a lot more staying power than many of the other bands that were born around the same time that became part of the 'scene' Much of that down to the quality of the songwriting consistancy and band members that generally didn't end up hating each other due to egos. I would like to read their story, if Tim Burgess ever writes an autobiography. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't expect spiderman to show up in Dubai any time soon. He boycotts anywhere the Tom Cruise likes to go. Doesn't like the competition I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
