The ex- Simply Red and (he says) ex- Stone Roses guitarist is now milking his brief association with the Roses and the guitarist of another huge band… First of all, it wasn’t ‘The’ Stone Roses that Aziz Ibrahim joined… Reni and Squire had gone, and without them there was no Stone Roses… He became part of a short-lived comedy act with the Roses name, along with that clown, Robbie Maddix…
Now Ibrahim is all over the place, going on about how Slash wanted to join The Stone Roses and that he (Slash) was turned down because of his leather trousers… This isn’t news for a start… It was heard about 20 years ago, and it was a rumour then… Ian Brown just said ‘Fuck off! We hate Guns ‘N Roses! Redneck crap!’ when asked about Slash at the time… Even Slash himself says it was bollocks… It wouldn’t have worked anyway…
For The Roses you need Squire, Brown, Mani, Reni…. It’s like all that ‘latterday Byrds’ bollocks… Fuck the likes of Parsons, Battin and all the others… The Byrds were McGuinn, Clark, Crosby, Hillman and Clarke…
Aziz Ibrahim is using bigger names and ancient hearsay to get himself noticed and get clickbait…
Should have stuck with that Hucknall prick, you cunt….
