Liam Gallagher and John Squire of The Stone Roses stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night perform their single “I’m a Wheel.”
Bathed in bright yellow lights, Gallagher and Squire provide a blues-y, waltzing rendition of “I’m a Wheel,” the fourth single released from their collaborative album. Squire delivers a handful of expressive guitar lines with an air of cool on the right hand side. Gallagher, meanwhile, holds a pair of maracas for the performance and hardly uses them, save for some sparse shakes during Squire’s solos (he also lightly taps them on a tambourine at one point). His vocals, however, sound gritty, inspired, and anthemic. Watch the performance below.

Liam Gallagher has already made it clear he thinks the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is “full of Bumbaclarts,” and now he says the nomination of artists like Mariah Carey only reinforces his opinion.
Carey is one of this year’s 15 Hall of Fame nominees alongside Oasis and the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Cher, Mary J. Blige, A Tribe Called Quest, and Sinead O’Connor. Speaking with The Sunday Times, Gallagher expressed that being nominated with such a range of artists devalues the whole idea of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: “As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say: do me a favor and fuck off. It’s like putting me in the rap hall of fame, and I don’t want to be part of anything that mentally disturbed.”
To be clear, his problem lies with the people behind the “wank award,” not...

Oasis are among the finalists for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024. We won’t know for sure whether the band will be inducted until April, but frontman Liam Gallagher doesn’t seem to care either away.
Responding to the news of Oasis’ nomination, Gallagher tweeted on Sunday, “Fuck the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of Bumbaclarts LG x.” (Bumbaclart is British slang for
menstrual pads or toilet paper.)
Gallagher expounded on his thoughts in Twitter replies to fans. He called the Hall of Fame “a load of bollox” and said, “I don’t need some wank award by some geriatric in a cowboy hat,” he wrote. He also encouraged fans to vote for other nominees, such as Sinead O’Connor and Mariah Carey.
Liam also said that while he is not interested in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he suspects his estranged brother and bandmate,...

Singer-songwriter Liam Gallagher expressed his wish about writing certain hit songs. The rocker admitted that he’s envious that he didn’t play a part in the guilty pleasure tracks ‘Crazy Frog’ and ‘Barbie Girl’.
He said that the ‘Birdie Song’ is another one that got away. Ahead of their recently announced tour, Liam and The Stone Roses’ John Squire joined Dave Berry on his ‘Absolute Radio Breakfast Show’, reports Mirror.co.uk.
But as well as discussing the album that the pair have been working on, they found time to talk about which song by another band or artiste they wish was theirs.

Two of Manchester’s most famous exports, Oasis’ Liam Gallagher and The Stone Roses’ John Squire, have confirmed they are releasing a collaborative album. Though full details haven’t been announced, the duo did reveal the first single, titled “Just Another Rainbow,” will arrive on January 5th.
Though Gallagher and Squire have known each other since 1989, and previously co-wrote “Love Me and Leave Me” for Squire’s band The Seahorses, the project didn’t come into focus until after Squire joined Gallagher on stage for “Champagne Supernova” at his solo show at Knebworth Park in 2022. Soon after, Squire sent Gallagher an initial batch of songs and the duo began collaborating remotely, with Jimi Hendrix, The Sex Pistols, Faces, Bob Marley, and The Bee Gees as “reference points.”
To begin recording the project, Gallagher went to Squire’s studio in Macclesfield, where he laid down vocals for two demos per day.

Ian Brown fans reportedly walked out of his show in Leeds last night (Sunday 25 September), after The Stone Roses frontman apparently kicked off his solo tour without a backing band.
Performing at the O2 Academy in the city last night (25 September), Brown performed alone on stage with just a mic and a backing track, to the disappointment of many fans in attendance.
“Gutted to see @ianbrown turn up to his £40 a ticket, sold out gig at leeds tonight With No Band,” wrote attendee Steve Lathum on Twitter, alongside a video from the gig.
“I’m a life-long fan but it was bad. Ian Brown does karaoke and butchers his own tunes. Most were too pissed to care but I had to get out after this one. Longsight M13 was a highlight,” he continued.
“£40 to see a karaoke act,” another complained, while one called it the “funniest gig” they’d ever been to.

“But we’ve got things to do first, and he’s got things to clear up and that. But yeah, I’m definitely going to do summat at some point.”
“So you’ve actually had the conversation a little bit?” Wilkinson questioned, with Gallagher responding: “Maybe, yeah. Probably did that at Knebworth and that, I think, if I can remember anything about it.

Bob Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues” video is getting a new spin from Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith and more artists to mark the greatest songwriter of all time’s 60th anniversary as a recording artist.
The new video takes its inspiration from the opening scene from D.A. Pennebaker’s 1967 documentary Don’t Look Back, which chronicled Dylan’s 1965 tour in England. It opens on Dylan holding and discarding a series of handwritten cue cards displaying words from the lyrics to “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” and they include humorous misspellings, jokes and puns.

There is simply no better way to spend 49 minutes of your time, than to sit down and listen to the eponymous début album by The Stone Roses, as a record that is one of the finest to have ever been recorded. Well now, though double the length in time, the immensely talented director Shane Meadows has made a worthy attempt at presenting a film equally as inspiring, with his documentary Made of Stone. The soundtrack is alright, too.
Having taken the world by storm when bursting onto the scene in 1989, Ian Brown, John Squire, Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield and Alan ‘Reni’ Wren became one of the most influential bands to have existed, with a strong cult-like following amongst their ardent fans. However when the band broke up in 1996, it appeared that they would never reform, with telling signs coming from Squire and his now infamous quote “I have no desire whatsoever...

Shane Meadows talks about his Stone Roses documentary Made of Stone – and what it was like to work with his heroes
To outsiders, love always seems like madness. In 2011, when the Stone Roses announced that they would be reforming to play some gigs – Ian Brown, John Squire, Gary "Mani" Mounfield and Alan "Reni" Wren together onstage, 15 years after their rancorous split – many, many music fans appeared to go completely insane. Grown men wept, danced, hugged, clambered into the loft to find their Reni hat, pointed both hands to the sky for the chorus of I Am the Resurrection, then wept again. The internet exploded with delight. Oasis's Liam Gallagher tweeted "not been this happy since my kids were born" and thousands agreed.
Of course, there were cynics; but they were silenced when all 150,000 tickets for the Roses' Manchester Heaton Park gigs last year were bought in 14 minutes. The band added another Heaton Park show.

The ex-Stone Roses guitarist and visual artist presents the works at London's Idea Generation Gallery from June 10 to July 3. Squire said of the exhibition: "It's a brief respite from the endless bombardment of celebrity images. It asks, 'How often do we really need to see copies of complete strangers' faces, and why do we collectively choose those particular people?'." The former musician uses symbols inspired by the ancient eight-pointed star from across various cultures. The paintings consciously echo the focus on pattern and geometry of Islamic art, which sought to avoid depictions (more)...

Ian Brown's son stopped him from reuniting with Stone Roses bandmate John Squire. The singer was ready to put 13 years of animosity behind him after the guitarist sent a sample track over for Ian's solo LP 'My Way'.

The album that ushered in the spiritual awakening of British music still reminds how dangerous the collision of rock and dance can be
Mentioned in the same breath as The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band and the Sex Pistols’ Nevermind the Bullocks, The Stone Roses’ eponymous 1989 debut managed to demolish the last whispers of the whiny reign of the New Romantics while signaling a global and sonic revolution.
