I'm getting dogs abuse on a Stone Roses Facebook page for suggesting Squire's collaboration with Liam Gallagher is likely to be shit.

 

I mean, the last time he released a decent song was 28 years ago.

On the flip side, I've long thought Noel's collaboration with Ian Brown, Keep What Ya Got, was the best thing the former has ever done.

Love that song.

You've completely lost me, what's this song got to do with John Squire?

Ha ha, nae bother. You had me looking through all the personnel/credits for it there.

The single is here. As suspected, Squire sounds good but I can't go Liam's voice at all & the drums  sound fucking awful...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Let's cut and paste some of the most obvious tropes we were both known for 20/30 years ago when we actually had something of note to say and nobody will find it at all predictable, tired and boring at all....

Sounds like two, bored, old men looking for ways to pass the time.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I quite like it. 
 

Liam’s voice is a bit shit and whiny but Squire’s guitar playing is great. It’s got a very Beatles vibe to it and there seems to be a little bit of pretty much every track from Revolver crammed into the music. 
 

It’s two blokes from two of the most iconic bands to come out of Manchester and the Madchester/Britpop scenes. So, for all the predictable, boring etc naysayers, what did you expect? 
 

Liam Gallagher to do a bit of beatboxing and freestyle rap? Squire to bust out a pan pipes solo? 

[Bjornebye]

John Squire and Liam have done an album. This is the first one they released a few weeks ago, apparently one tomorrow comes out called Mars to Liverpool. 

 

 

 

Sounds very The Seahorses to me. 

 

This is the best song Liam's sung on someone else's stuff (Alright Noel calm down)

Is there a Titantic thread for Stig to point out that it's at the bottom of the sea?

[Mook]

Not a bad track either. Its easy listening if you don't take it too seriously. Might try get tickets for the gig. Just to see Squire live again at least.

Got tickets. Think they're sold out already. Pricy too. Cunts

€190 for a John Lennon tribute act? 
 

Been had off there.

Tried to give Second Coming another go the other day. Fuck me it's a car crash. Three good songs. The rest b-side quality, apart from Straight to the Man which isn't even good enough for a b-side.

Yea, pretty much. I'm paying for the curiosity factor but mainly to see Squire live. One of my most favourite guitarists.

The years haven't been particularly kind to it but there are definitely more than three good songs.

 

Tears is maybe my favourite thing they ever did.

Maybe I'm being harsh, the disappointment still burns all these years later! Ten Storey..., Driving South and Love Spreads are all bangers. Begging you is decent. The rest i can take or leave. It's a very uneven album. Ian Brown sounds good on the heavier songs, not so much the funk workouts.

Two. 2. Deux. Fucking 2. Robbing sods.

[ZonkoVille77]

The Liam and John album is pish. About 5 listenable tunes. Production is shite. Can barely hear the bass. The 2 boys are front and centre of everything and it suffers for it.

 

Squires playing is superb at times and it sound like he's having fun on the blues standards they've chucked in. But overall it's a disappointment. Can't say I expected anything mega. 2 old lads having fun perhaps and more power to them.

 

Still going to see them in a few weeks though on Paddy's weekend in Dublin which will be a blast.
