Ian Brown is the worst live singer out there, has done some great stuff but has no vocal talent live. CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Wrong Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Fools Gold have to be one of the most succesful cover bands in Britain. Its not fair all they do is sing someone elses songs and get paid a shitload, a bit like Westlife, Girls Aloud, all Pop Idolers . . .

Last Wrong Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 All I was saying is that tribute bands making a load of money is a bit annoying, especially when they are shite like Pantellica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Atom Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 im sure his self respect went he heard himself singTrue - did anyone actually see the show? Oh my god, how that guy can still have any sort of credibility is beyond me. It was truly awful - the songs were complete turkeys and his voice is just disgraceful, the boy has zero talent. Ian Brown = A joke!Fair play to the dudes from aberdeen for being able to cash in on him though They must be laughing all the way to the bank considering that all they have to do is rehash all the tunes that they learned for Fool's Gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree that the guy is without talent - some of his musical ideas and lyrics are good. And vocal technique has never been the most important thing (Celine Dion Vs Bob Dylan anyone?). But it looks as though he's struggling for ideas and is not capable of putting on a performance anymore. Lacklustre performances of 15 year old songs with his own tribute band is not enough from the man who was once an icon. He should stick to the studio or just go away.
