Mani is the bass player of Primal Scream since 1996. Right now Primal Scream are touring so I don't think we'll see The Stone Roses reunion too soon.

Hmm, so, basically it's a bit of a long punt at the moment, thought so... I dunno, I mean, Ian Brown and John Squire have a pint in the pub together, Clint from Inspiral Carpets starts spurting rumours and all of a sudden NME reports it as a "possible reunion"... :huh: :huh:

I saw this very shortly on a The Sun page while someone is reading, I think? :lol:

The NME should really know better than jumping on this one. I expect this kind of rubbish from The Sun but not them. Burying the hatchet is a long, long way from setting up a reunion and I think the only reason any of them would do it is if they really, really needed the money.

 

What annoyed me was that The Stone Roses began trending on Twitter yesterday morning with loads of people taken in by yet another false story in The Scum from that arse Gordon Smart who seems to spend his entire life annoying old indie stars.

 

As for Clint Boon's quotes, he hopes for a reunion as a fan, but at no point did he say much other than that. I'm getting a little sick of these fake stories.

You and me both....

 

But this doesn't excuse the NME from not bothering to properly source it before running with it.... I can kind of remember the day when NME journalists would actually check sources, and had some credibility....

Ohhh I remember the last time I read NME... :lol: Absolutely appalling magazine!!

NME want to sell copies and think little of integrity. Sensationalism is the way to go.

And yet their circulation's been steadily dropping since they got rid of their decent journalists.... :rolleyes:

"Circulation of the magazine has fallen continuously since 2003. In the first half of 2010, the magazine's circulation was 33,875, 53% down on a 2003 figure of 72,442"

Conor McNicholas became editor in 2002 and tried to turn it into some kind of indie Heat magazine. In his seven years in the job he completely destroyed it. I see he lasted less than a year as editor of BBC Top Gear magazine too. The guy is useless.

Funny that, 2002 is pretty much the time I stopped reading NME..... :lol: :lol:

 

Well, so much about the reunion :) It would have been great, though...
