Yeh he played like a session guitarist... in fact, maybe thats what he
should do from now on. Maybe he could do stuff on Oasis' new record ( if
that ever comes out ,which I doubt severely) ;-)

combination of factors which lead to the band splitting, not just Squire
being a totally self indulgent, coke-head. It was a shame to see Squire
lose it so badly. Just comparing Second Coming (which I like) and DIY (nuff
said) to the first album, well, there is no comparison. THE STONE ROSES was
their best work.
DIY is a terrible album, to think I wasted Ł11.99 on it! However, the
funniest part is that the local second hand record store wouldn't buy it,
it's reputation obviously precedes it!

No one seems lukewarm on the topic of the Seahorse. I like them. Maybe it's
because I don't mind over-the-top indulgent guitar playing. The one fair
criticism of the album DIY is that it tries to hard to sound like all the other
bands out at the time (the resemblance of the singer to the guy from the
Bluetones is uncanny).
OK, so maybe John Squire sold out to Britpop but so was everyone else in 1996
(look at Suede's transition from Dog Man Star to Coming Up). Thus, your opinion
of the Seahorse probably relative to your opinion of Britpop. If you can dig
Oasis, Kula Shaker, Shed Seven, etc, you will probably like the Seahorse.
Often when a musician goes solo (even if they try to disguise it by hiding
behind a band name) you often hear complaints that the music is too different
from the band he/she just left. But the whole point of going solo is to play
music you couldn't play in your previous band.

Love is the Law is an all time favourite. Saw them at T in the Park a
couple of years back and thought they were great live. Having said that
they were a bit shit when they supported U2 at Murrayfield on the Pop tour,
and its probably Squire's weakestwork.

John Squire lost everything he had after The Roses split, it wan't his fault
they split, these things happen in bands, but I think he just dried up, and
he resorted to masturabtion on his guitar, and bored us all to sleep
In fact, the second coming tour wasn't much better, nobody wants to listen
to a guitarist wanking away for hours on end, move on, move up and
expand...squire is talented, but he arrived 3 decades too late
