Following those previously reported comments from John Squire and, er, Noel Gallagher regarding the possibility of a Stone Roses reunion, former band members Reni and Mani have been getting in on the act. The pair were at the Coral's Carling 24 show in Manchester on Saturday and both said they would like the band to perform together again.
Reni told 6Music: "Never say never, but it won't be this year. I'm going to play with Mani, that's a guaranteed - I'm writing songs for me and him." Mani said: "I'd love to, me - just for the sheer joy of playing with this guy (Reni) again."
Reni also explained how he came to be at the gig: "I came 'cos Mani told me there were some gigs on in town - cos Mani's got his finger on the pulse. He brought me out to see The Coral - I didn't think I'd like it because I hate a lot of young bands because they're so crap, undisciplined and just a racket - but these boys are sweet. These boys know what they're doing - they remind me of Strawberry Switchblade and 'Shampoo' the movie."
