No I thought he borrowed your sweeping brush or mop bucket and wouldn’t give it back. It was someone else I was thinking of anyway, it was sweaty Stephen.
If I lost a sweeping brush or mop I'd likely not notice Bobby

HOOVER!! It was a Hoover! I’ve just now remembered.
And it WAS sweaty Stephen. He lives near a black man and he borrowed a Hoover off him and wouldn’t give it back.

Sell outs or did the two bros actually hug for the very first time and just sorta like each other now?
Will always like them and be a fan.
Just not a big enough one to shell out triple digit cash for a ticket and the time and trouble to go there to hear the songs sound the exact same on the CDs I have.
Live acts are overrated unless they put something extra into the jams.

It's very possible that two brothers can have a massive falling out and then make up again years later
But hugging on stage…
They sold out, have fair play to them for it too
Yeah, I think this is more about people noticing that they're their own mothers and fathers now than it is about the music

I enjoyed their first two albums enough when they came out
Saw them a few times but I wouldn't go if someone gave me a ticket. I'd say that there must be someone else who'd enjoy seeing them more than me
What about you? Would you go if someone gave you a ticket?

Prob. not since it is going to sound the exact same note for note as the album.
So it would be more about atmosphere for me and I doubt I could give up the comfort of home where I can listen to them play it the same way "live."
I have their live CD so I could just play that and put up a poster of them on stage and that would be the same.

I think the atmosphere would be a lot like it is here on Filmboards
Lots of different people with different ways of looking at the world all hanging about and talking about 'the good old days' and wondering what could have been
But it would have to have the convivence of being on my doorstep so I could walk away when I wanted, go to the toilet and generally ignore it all when I wanted - like here!

They could do a rendition of Cigarettes and Alcohol, maybe a little Some Might Say, if they bring along Guigsy and Tony like it should have always been
But I've a funny feeling all 5 of them would tell me to **** off

As popular as they are on this stadium tour there is something about them that always seems kinda underrated to me about them.
Sure, they are big but IMO not as big as classic rock acts like The Who, Doors or Pink Floyd etc.
When it's all over I think they will just be a footnote in the annuals of rock.
Or are they more popular then I realize?

I think it's safe to say they are/were a testament to the times they existed in.
Working class, Manchester, accessible, exclusive, in friendly but fierce competition, curious, in awe and respectful, disrespectful, fun, sexy, just being British in the 90's.
And the lyrics and riff from the first song of their second album will have given them all the appropriate Brownie points with the right people at the BBC who make all the important decisions
Will musicians look back at them in 500 years and find inspiration? Not likely
Will historians look at the cultural shift they were a major part of? Most certainly
