Ian Brown On Stone Roses Reunion

Ian Brown has said that he would reform The Stone Roses - but only if he was reduced to "begging on the streets".

The singer, who played on the Main Stage at this weekend's Reading And Leeds Festivals, says he's disheartened by bands who reunite simply to cash in on their former glories.

"Maybe if you see me begging on the streets you might find me doing The Stone Roses the next day," he said. "We did it [formed a band] because we wanted to change the world, we didn't do it because we wanted to be millionaires."

Brown admitted that there were a couple of exceptions to the reunion rule.

"I was glad when the Sex Pistols got back because they never really got paid," he explained. He added that he was also pleased The Specials together again.

A Stone Roses reunion would kick ass! But like that would ever happen. John Squire's artwork is pretty good tbh!

Thats the thing though Ian, We want The Stone Roses back because we want you guys to change the world with your awesome music! You'd think someone who won a godlike genius award wouldn't be too thick to realize something like that. I'm beginning to question who is more stubborn at this point, Ian or John?

Its not like John Squire would want to go back to The Stone Roses, he apparently stopped playing guitar altogether.
