I went to a wedding at the weekend
and there was a covers band there who I've seen loads of times due to blatant nepotism. They attempted a cover of the Stone Roses "Waterfall" which somehow managed to suck all the joy and emotion out of the song. I laughed when they started playing it, then realised they meant to see it through to the end. Which was less amusing.

Sounds a bit rubbish.
Although I have to say I would love to spend my time in libraries reading up on classical stuff. I've just started 'The Inheritance of Rome' which covers Europe AD400-1000. So far, so slightly dull.

I had a quiet weekend but yesterday my ex let me take my little girl out on my own for 4 hours. This sounds like fuck all but is actually a major milestone.

Utterly without merit.
The best you can say about them is that occasionally they sound a bit like a mid-60s English pop band.

Praise indeed.

Tinny 80s production, weak songs and total cunts to boot. Anyone who's ever seen the 'fookin' amateurs' TV performance has to agree. They soundchecked for a TV slot and when it came to the actual performance turned everything up - consequently the electrics blew leaving them in the dark with only a mic on: and then had the cheek to blame the TV crew for being 'fookin' amateurs'. Sigh - witless northern cretins.

I'd not heard about that
sounds like they are the fucking amateurs

they had one song which had a good slide guitar intro, but I have no idea what it's called, and it went shit as soon as the guy starts singing

You can see it on YouTube I expect.
If you felt like belming for Britian at any point it's a great clip to get you started.

I might do that
but more than likely I won't. It will have slipped my mind in a couple of seconds.

Love Spreads
Which is an awesome song. But it's absolutely true that they'd be a better band without any vocals

The NME = magazine that tricked the idiots who read it into thinking "The Stone Roses" was an anagram of "Northern Tossers"
It's not. Try it.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 17 May 2010, 8:57, Reply)

I've never read an NME in my life
and if they said the Stone Roses were bad I'd be more inclined to think they were good.
