Ian Brown got arrested

IAN BROWN ARRESTED AFTER ONSTAGE FIGHT




IAN BROWN has been arrested in SAN FRANCISCO after an onstage bust-up with a member of the audience, NME.COM can exclusively reveal.

The singer was playing at the Great American Music Hall as part of a North American tour in support of his current album ’Solarized’ when the alleged incident happened.

According to fans at the show, Brown was complaining about the sound quality at the venue, and after three songs got so upset he stopped the song.

One fan claimed: “This guy in a white top jumps onto the stage from the crowd, rugby tackles Ian Brown to the floor. Everything stops and the band members run to the aid of their leader.”

A witness continued: “So this is where we think, ‘Well that’s the show over, $30 wasted’. Then Ian Brown and co come back on the stage after 15 minutes. The show went on. Even though the sound was poor there was no other fights, Ian stopped the band a couple of times during ‘I Wanna Be Adored’ because of the sound and feedback. Then they were gone.”

After the show he was arrested at his hotel and taken for questioning.

However, a spokesperson for the singer told NME.COM that at the time of going to press no charges had been brought against the singer.

    Does anyone else think all of his music (including most Stone Roses stuff) is boring, dry and generic?

      This isn't the first time he's been arrested.
      He got nicked for smashing up his old record labels offices with the rest of his little friends in The Stone Roses, the judge shouted at Reni who had his hands in his pockets and addressed Brown as "Young man" and I think (and I could be very wrong) he got arrested for air rage once.

      I would agree that his stuff can be quite samey, but i dont find it boring. It has to be said that im interested in seeing him only because he's doing roses stuff live again and that i definately dont find dry, generic or boring. However you qualify your comment by saying most stone roses stuff, which suggests that you like some of it. Im interested which roses tracks arent dry, boring and generic in your opinion?

        I haven't heard any album tracks or anything so my opinion probably isn't that well informed, but from the stuff I've heard it just struck me as really dull and uninteresting. There were a couple of exceptions but the only one I can think of right now is I Wanna Be Adored which I seem to remember was pretty decent.

          Erm, i'd recomend you try listening to the very best of.

          Or failing that the following tracks are my personal favourites:

          I wanna be adored
          Love spreads
          She bangs the drums
          Waterfall (admittedly been bastardised by the lottery)
          I am the resurrection
          Made of stone
          Fools gold

          It has to be said though that some of the album tracks are utter shite.

            I only really liked Fools Gold and I Wanna Be Adored. Had a small liking for Sally Cinnamon for a while...can hardly say that Brown was the most magnetic of frontmen though.

              thats weird- the stone roses have never really appealed to me, but I think ian browns solo stuff is great.

                Lol, Fools Gold is in my opinion one of the most overrated songs ever written. I just can't see what's great about it, it's got that annoying late 80s/early 90s 'baggy' feel about it and the riff gets on me tits. But cheers, I'll try those other ones out.
