Fans of The Stone Roses have reacted to news of their comeback - calling on the band to live up to their legacy.
After much rumour and speculation, the band then confirmed huge shows in Manchester and T In The Park for next summer.
Now, word is spreading of the band dropping new material, as well as bookies tipping them to headline Glastonbury 2015. Fans have taken online to voice their hopes for the future - and others are just a little bit bored.
Naturally, many are hoping for them to headline Glastonbury:
I note that there's a big Glastonbury-sized hole between the dates announced yesterday by the #StoneRoses. #justsaying

The Stone Roses MUST be headlining Glastonbury. And I don't have a ticket!

Meanwhile, others feel that the whole thing is a little pointless without new material:
Are The Stone Roses doing any new material, or is it another rehash of the rag and bone version of their 1989 album?

I hope The Stone Roses announcement of 3 gigs in 2016, means an new album is due to be released also #StoneRosesAnnouncement

so buzzing to hear some new stone roses
— Tellwright (@Tellwright) November 2, 2015
There's a danger the stone roses become the heir to the stadium rock, repetitive greatest hits churning Rolling Stones. New tunes please.

If Stone Roses aren't making new material, they can fuck off back to the old folk's home

And some, just couldn't care less:
I don't care about seeing The Stone Roses play, I adored them at the time, but I can't remember the last time I stuck on a record.

Who are all these people who still care about The Stone Roses on this day and age? I just don't get it.
— Martyn Sewell (@skybluesam86) November 3, 2015
Stone Roses...man don't care about all that
— K (@KarelPrince_) November 2, 2015
Don't even care about Stone Roses, sorry:///
— Connor Lattka (@ConnorBhoy88) November 2, 2015
Hey hey what's the Stone Roses news guys HAHAHAHAHA i don't care I've got fully working ears
— Jonnafang (@jonnafang) November 2, 2015
Which do you reckon will be the bigger piece of crap? The new Adele album, the new Coldplay album or the new Stone Roses album
— Jerry Thackray (@everetttrue) November 2, 2015
I'm done with the Stone Roses. Just another bunch of fucking sell out crap merchants. *throws on growing pile of "good once, shit now" *
— Jenna Gueulard (@westendjenna) November 2, 2015
The Stone Roses?? Crap then and crap now!!! An enigma with ZERO talent! Real talent struggles whilst this lot play stadiums? #theragsofmusic

The whole stone roses thing is getting a bit boring now....the sooner they drift away from memory the better.
