Stone Roses: Last News

It has been quite a week for legendary Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown - after his decision to go it alone on his new solo tour without a live band. But while that decision infuriated some of his fans, he could most definitely count on the backing of one of his biggest fans - in the form of Liam Gallagher.

Liam Gallagher has defended the length of his gigs following his recent tour with John Squire.The moment arose during a new conversation with NME, where the former Oasis frontman opened up about the response to his huge collaborative self-titled album with the ex-Stone Roses guitarist, and their recently wrapped up UK and European tour.During the interview, the singer-songwriter was asked about his latest album with the Britpop guitarist, and questioned about why he chose to limit the LP to just 10 songs – despite them already revealing they had material left over from the writing sessions.“I’m glad there’s only 10 songs on the album. I think when you start doing more songs you take the foot off the gas on certain songs.

Liam Gallagher has expressed his desire to make a second album with John Squire.Gallagher opened up about touring with the former Stone Roses guitarist in a new Instagram reel of their recent show in London. The duo have just wrapped up their UK/Ireland leg and are soon to embark on their international leg this April.In the reel, the former Oasis frontman called touring with Squire “mega”, adding: “Being on stage with John Squire, the band is top so I’ve got to be right on my fucking game.

John Squire has revealed the reason why he has never launched his own signature guitar.The Stone Roses member is regarded as one of the most influential British rock guitarists of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, and an icon of the Britpop scene – so it may come as a surprise that he has never issued a signature model of his own.Well, during a new interview with Guitarist Magazine as part of the March cover story, Squire was asked why he had yet to release his own design, which led to him revealing the simple answer: “No one’s asked me.”Speaking with the outlet, the Stone Roses star also shared that another British guitar asked him the same question, and speculated the issue may have been to do with the brand he plays the most often.“Jimmy Page once said to me, ‘Have Gibson not been onto you?’ And I said, ‘No, maybe I play too many [Fender] Strats.’ Jimmy said, ‘Yeah, probably,’” he recalled, before going on to add: “I think it’s more likely to be that they don’t know who I am.”The interview with Guitarist comes in light of Squire teaming up with another Britpop icon, Liam Gallagher, to share a collaborative album.Both the former Oasis star and Stone Roses frontman shared their self-titled debut album earlier this month, following the release of the lead single ‘Just Another Rainbow’ and follow-up ‘Mars to Liverpool’.The album was given a four-star review, with NME stating: “Although [Squire has] been more focused on creating visual art in recent years, the guitarist’s genius remains undimmed, as he adorns these bluesy arrangements with slow-burning grooves and wailing licks that ache with his life-long love of Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page.”“This is psychedelic, on occasion even transcendent music brought down to earth by

Liam Gallagher revealed the last time he spoke to brother Noel while on The Jonathan Ross Show this weekend, followed by a performance of ‘Mars To Liverpool’ with John Squire.The former Oasis frontman appeared on the talk show Saturday (March 9) with the Stone Roses guitarist following the release of their new collaborative album, ‘Liam Gallagher John Squire’.Towards the end of the interview, Ross began introducing a question he said Gallagher knew would be coming, before he recalled reading that the now solo artist had recently been speaking to his estranged brother.“I haven’t spoken to him,” Gallagher interjected. “I haven’t spoken to him in about 10 years.”The musician said he hadn’t spoken to Noel since 2009, the same year the band split up after a backstage argument at Rock en Seine festival in Paris.When the studio audience responded with a sympathetic “aww”, Gallagher wagged his finger and responded: “Don’t start that.”After the Ross suggested that Liam might be “missing out” following the split, the artist insisted that he’s “having a great time”, adding: “Don’t worry about me.

John Squire has explained why The Stone Roses never made a new album during their 2011 reunion tour.It has now been 30 years since the Manchester legends released a record, with their last full-length project ‘Second Coming’ dropping in 1994. Although the band reunited briefly for a 2011 tour, and released two singles in 2016 before their split in 2019, they never made any new albums – and now, guitarist Squire has said why.In an interview with The Guitarist (via Music News), Squire said that “no one wanted to do it – so it turned out to not be that frustrating at all.”Squire went on to say that had the group recorded a third album, his guitar playing would be “more measured and respectful”.

Liam Gallagher has revealed that he was planning to take a year off before John Squire reached out to ask if they could work together.The former Oasis frontman and former Stone Roses guitarist will be releasing a collaborative album on March 1.

Liam Gallagher has reflected on Oasis’ split, claiming that his brother Noel “threw me under the fucking bus” at the time.The comments arose as part of a new joint interview between Britpop legends Liam Gallagher and John Squire – who recently joined forces for a new collaborative project, which they launched last week with the single ‘Just Another Rainbow’.In the discussion with The Guardian, Gallagher took a moment to reflect on the Manchester group’s 2009 break-up, and accuse his former bandmate Noel – along with Oasis’ manager Marcus Russell, as blaming him for the decision.According to the singer-songwriter, Noel had always intended to go solo but decided to blame the disbandment on Liam’s drinking rather than admit he wanted to leave the line-up.“If you want to do your little thing because you’re not getting enough attention, feel free, mate,” he said, referring to how Noel would often play solo acoustic shows between Oasis’ touring commitments. “I’ll go to Barbados and sit on a beach for six months, but don’t be pulling the plug on the band.

Liam Gallagher has discussed how he decided to collaborate with John Squire, saying that he knew it’d work as “the clothes said it all”.The first taster of the project by the former Oasis frontman and Stone Roses guitarist arrived today (January 5) in the form of the debut single ‘Just Another Rainbow’.The track was officially announced by the two last month after months of hype – including Gallagher describing the upcoming record as “the best record since [The Beatles’] ‘Revolver’”.Now, the former Oasis icon has opened up about how the two began working together, and claimed that he knew they’d get on from the get-go.“I had no doubt that they were going to be fucking cool.

The single is available to pre-order on 7” vinyl here.A video is on the way, but the duo have this week shared the below teaser trailer.A post shared by Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher)“To me the most obvious take on ‘Just Another Rainbow’ is that it’s about disappointment, and the sentiment is that you never get what you really want,” said Squire in a statement.
