Ian Brown at the picture house circa 2010
Horrendous. Kicked off about a pint being chucked towards the stage and made out we should have been grateful for him playing Fools Gold which was the only Roses number he played. Used the pint episode as his excuse. Absolutely awful''It's always been just part of the culture. Growing up, for most working-class kids, is all about football, music or clothes.

From where I was, I couldn't hear Brown as everybody around me was belting out every word.
I was a bit disappointed by that, until my son said "Dad, think yourself lucky..." 😂

Without doubt one of the worst gigs I have ever been to was The Stone Roses comeback gig at Heaton Park on the opening night. It was blowing a gale, the sound was horrendous and Ian Brown was murder, the rest of the band carried him. With it being so windy the sound was drifting from left to right. There was a right bunch of toss pots in the crowd as well. Mind getting the tram from Piccadilly Gardens and some whopper pulled the emergency brake for a laugh. This was about 5:30 at night, peak time and the tram was full and standing. 40 minutes we sat there before the tram driver managed to get it going again and by the time we got to Heaton Park station, which is a fair bit from the city centre virtually the whole tram emptied and the station became a giant urinal because we'd all been on the bevy. It was horrendous.
Seen the Stone Roses again at Glasgow Green as well and Ian Brown was just as bad there too. I was in the front pit against the barrier and I swear this is true, 2 jakey wifeys behind me and 3 other mates I was with were so determined to get on the barrier one of them actually ducked under one of my mates arm a bit him hard as **** on his arm just down from his armpit, he flung his elbow back as a natural reaction and caught jakey woman on the coupon. He was so pissed off he buggered off, after the gig he showed us his arm and there was clear teeth marks where the wifey had clamped her teeth down into his flesh, horrendous behaviour. As someone mentioned above, Primal Scream supported along with The View. Primal Scream were dreadful and Gillespie started rabbiting on about the obelisk in the middle of Glasgow Green, he looked like he was out his face but The View were great though.
I was lucky (or unlucky) enough to be one of the 300 at the Bongo club to see The View. Was really looking forward to that gig in a small venue where you could literally reach out and touch the band. Unfortunately the band walked off after about 6 songs after some utter fanny hit Kyle Falconer in the head pint a pint of some form of liquid, I'm not convinced it was beer though. That was that, gig over thanks to one rasper.
The Streets at the Corn Exchange during T on the Fringe one year. Dreadful and £35 a ticket as well.
Nickleback at the SECC, dragged along by a few mates. Just a noise and not enjoyable at all.
Babyshambles. Terrible and Doherty was clearly on something strong.
Honourable mention to Kraftwerk at the Usher Hall/Playhouse - all seated gig? Not me but my good mate and his laddie got thrown out for standing and singing - seriously. They couldn't believe it.Hibs.nets negative posting legend and unofficial ticket agent.

Got a Saturday ticket for T purely to see the Libertines at T in I think 2015 and they were horrendous. What made it worse was we left after 4 songs and the tent for the proclaimers was full and we couldn’t get in''It's always been just part of the culture.

That reminds me. Got couple of freebies to T I T P the year Noel Gallagher and the Stone Roses headlined (2012?). You were literally knee deep in mud and god knows what else. The weather was absolutely brutal. One of the tents flooded and had to be closed IIRC. I just remember wading through mud and whatever else, the closer you got to the stage the deeper it got, I gave up when it got up to my knees. I remember people just stopping mid stride and just standing there pissing and folk openly sniffing coke off the back of their hands with no ****s given. NG was brilliant but again the Stone Roses were howling. Won't ever got back to T I T P or TRNSMT, whatever its been reinvented as. Horrible experience and not enjoyable.Hibs.nets negative posting legend and unofficial ticket agent.

There are still some ********s at Glastonbury but a lot less and seen PJ Harvey play an incredible set on the Sunday, followed by LCD Soundsystem who blew everyone away. Billy Bragg the day after the Brexit referendum was on fire, Mercury Rev were outstanding - so much amazing music and comedy and even circus stuff. Watched the sun set on the Thursday at the stone circle, stayed up all night going from late night area to late night area, dancing to 80s cheese to reggae to hip hop, then head off to watch the sun rise then slept for two hours, grabbed a coffee and went to see James at half past ten in the morning. Great times.
I went to TRNSMT the following year as well as Glastonbury and hated every second of TRNSMT. Where Glasto has so much for you to do when you're not watching music, all there is at TRNSMT is awful food stalls, drinking and advertisements. No thought put into it at all and no wonder people make complete tits out of themselves. The crowd was ****ing dreadful for Radiohead as well.

As for crap gigs, Primal Scream deserve a mention. Reckon I've seen them about 15 times. Half of which they were outstanding, the other half utter garbage.
Re the roses at Heaton Park, I was there on the Sunday and loved every second of it.

Maybe they managed to sort the sound by then and maybe put a backing track/vocals over Ian Browns voice.Hibs.nets negative posting legend and unofficial ticket agent.

Richard Hawley was magical on the Friday at that Glastonbury. Someone lit a flare during 'Coles Corner' in the encore and rather than feeling laddish, it was beautiful. I was on the TV wearing my Christmas jumper during that set
