"I Have No Desire..."


Ex-The Stone Roses lead guitar player John Squire finally had made a personal reply to all these strange rumours about the reunion of his former band. He has placed a photograph on his web site under the name - “I have no desire”. This artistic installation literally puts a cross on all such rumours that try to take out The Stone Roses from their past, cool idea, but no approval from the guy. “I have no desire whatsoever to desecrate the grave of seminal Manchester pop group The Stone Roses”, so those who are still thinking about their comeback better go and see what John thinks about it. Practically, sometimes it’s even better if the band never really comes from it’s past by staying only in those glory days because some things just cannot be reinvented again. In many cases it can be awesome, but when musicians don’t feel like doing it, then most likely they’re doing the right thing. He also made a statement on BBC, “There are fans but there is also a market there to expolit and I suspect this [reunion story] is being driven by people within the industry that have a vested interest.”


After the fall of The Stone Roses due to a major conflict between Squire and Ian Brown (vocalist) in 1996, Squire  had established a new band called The Seahorses, which produced the studio album “Do it Yourself” (1997). In 1999 he recorded so far unreleased “Minus Blue”.
