Artwork

Intentions for a Stone Roses reunion

Although it has been over a decade since he left the Stone Roses, Squire allegedly has a lasting feud with ex-bandmate Ian Brown. In a 2005 Q magazine article, Squire blasted Brown, claiming "When he (Brown) was stoned, he was at best a tuneless knob and at worst a paranoid mess" (this was in response to queries about what had gone wrong with the Second Coming recording sessions, and the state of Brown's vocal due to his cannabis intake). Although both Brown and Squire have performed Stone Roses songs in their solo gigs, a band reunion seems unlikely. In May 2005 Squire hinted at intentions for a Roses reunion at Glastonbury that year.
