Noel Gallagher Changes Gig So He Won't Miss Stone Roses Reunion
. According to the Manchester Evening News, the former Oasis singer told promoters to change the running order. "I was billed at these festivals to headline another stage and I said, 'Well I'm not going on while the Roses are on,' do you know what I mean? They've not done a gig for 100 years, what am I going to do? Play to two [expletive] dogs and a cat and two stewards? ... So I said, 'It's either that or I won't do it.' 'Cos I want to see them, do you know what I mean? I don't want to be the only person in England who hasn't seen them." Gallagher also explained why the so-called "Madchester" bands mean so much to him. "I think those bands, the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, are quite heroic bands and they have quite heroic figures in those bands: Shaun and Bez, Ian and Mani. They're heroes to people and they're working class heroes� People in bands seem middle class to me, which is not a bad thing, it's just an observation. But in the case of the Roses and the Mondays, their music is great; to my generation, they're why I started in music, and to 40-somethings they just want to relive it a little bit. But to people who are 16, 17, they are heroic figures and good luck to everybody that's at Heaton Park that night, I hope the weather stays fine." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the antiMusic.com.
