Have they sold out?

Seen them 30 years ago.

I think it would be like riding some bird today that you rode when you were both teenagers.

It just wouldn't be as good and that's the reason I don't want to see the Stone Roses again, who were shite live anyway.

Some people didn't see them 30 years ago, I also doubt you saw the stone roses 30 years ago, considering they weren't formed until 1983

Let those who want to go have their fun and don't be so miserable

You need to learn to read properly.
Identifying words is quite easy but the real skill of reading is being able link the words togetherto understand each sentence.

It's called comprehension.

So, take on board what I've just told you, read the post again and point out exactly where it says I seen the Stone Roses thirty years ago!

Even if I did say them in 1983, which i didn't, that's the best part of thirty years anyway?

I didn't see The Specials back in the day. I just missed out on some tickets for Sophia Gardens in 1980 - by the time my sister got to town, they'd sold out & I didn't see them anywhere else then.

When they played the CIA in November 2009, I felt like you did and wasn't going to go, but some mates persuaded me otherwise.

I'm really glad I went, because I not only saw one of my favourite bands of all time, but they were absolutely superb. Their energy, the atmosphere in the place, everything about the night was great (almost, apart from the pisstaking with the beer prices).

I'm not going this time, though, because I don't think they can better that.

Their reputation goes before them,I think they only had one decent song and their sound doesn't have a ska feel to it.

Madness and UB40 were leagues better and the specials just couldn't keep up.

They just never seemed to have a natural link with the audience where most other bands of that era did.

The bands' coaches got robbed that night as well and cardiff lads were the dandiest looking skin/rudeboy/mods around in their top of the range two tone suits :D

The Bodysnatchers. Some of them became part of a girl band years later, but can't remember their name.
