He wasn't saying it was like Thriller, just that that was the blueprint for the album and the quality control etc, and it's not cashing in on the death of Michael Jackson, the Thriller idea was thought up long before he died. Brown is a fan and did a blinding cover of Billie Jean a few years back, so if anyone's cashing in on MJ's death it is certainly not Ian Brown. Brown is the man and I for one cannot wait for his new record, hopefully a tour and the Stone Roses re-issue |

and heres ferg defending his hero straight away. there are plenty of songs that use good quality control and what im saying is that i think hes chatting shit and is just saying that because he knows it will get abit of hype going
and, for him to critisize nostalgia like he did in the same interview when its the only thing that sells his shitty albums is laughable.

Nonsense! Anyone who has been to see Ian Brown or listened to anything he's put out recently knows it is no nostalgia trip. Brown could easily put on the pound note shirt and some 26 inch flares and play nothing but Roses tunes, but that's the complete opposite of what he does. None of his solo albums have sounded anything like the Stone Roses did, completely different sound, and his live sets rarely include more than a handful of Stone Roses tunes, and he looks and sounds completely different. You can accuse Ian Brown of many things but nostalgia, nonsense. |

Did they play new stuff?? Yea they did half new stuff and half from the first album. John McClure did his usual trick of taking his guitar outside after the gig to do 30 mins of acoustic tracks on the street. He hit me on the back of the head with his guitar though as he was trying to get outside with the crowd!!! |

Nostalgia isn't the only reason he has fans, look at me, I wasn't born in 1989 so how can you accuse me of being nostalgiac for a time I wasn't born in? The Thriller decleration doesn't suprise me because unlike most who have came out of the woodwork since MJ's death, Ian Brown has spent a lot of his career in praise of Michael Jackson if you do your homework. And I couldn't care less if the people on here aren't Ian Brown fans or not, just you're clutching at straws in a petty argument

I completely forgot about this album. I'm just really looking forward to hearing it, done some brilliant solo work and sure this will be great to. All that needs to be said  |

theres nothing petty about it i just see something that looks like hes being abit of a dick and give the obvious answer. and that was the point, everyone on here loves ian brown. now on my last two messages ive had a drink so i may have been abit harsh so for that i was abit out of line but what im saying is whith that other statement is that all/most of his success is as a result of the stone roses? surely you have to agree with that? he knows it and thats why he still drops the roses tunes into the setlist.

When you take the alcohol fuelled agression out of it you raise a better point - and yes it is to some extent arguable whether his success is only as a result of his time in the Stone Roses. I guess you've got to compare with John Squire, both were songwriters in the Stone Roses but Squire's solo career sank and Brown's soared, so the Stone Roses can only be partially the reason for it, the great tunes throughout his solo career and consistant live performances have ensured his success, the Roses just given him the profile I suppose
