I was lucky enough to go on tour with Ian as the support band for him about 10 years ago. He made sure we were treated just as well as any big band, he came and chilled with us every day. We ate the same food as him from his own catering, made sure we had enough beer, and we all smoked many a blunt with him. Good times, great memories. He's a top fucking guy.

[@EpicOosh]

JJ one EIGHTY no shit, it’s Ian brown...

[@soulveiw]

I was in a youth hostel when he came to my town and he invited me and others round to eat with them before the show and AAA passes for a smoke with him after plus the after show. The guy couldn't be more down to earth and sound!

I was still smoking his weed a week later LOL. He handed me more as I was leaving. He actually preferred to be around us 'real people' than the star struck drunk idiots his security were keeping at bay. The DJ at the after show played a Stone roses tune though and that didn't go down well at all.

[@kingape1572]

Listen to I wanna be adored.

[@thedevilsinthedetail.8182]

@@kingape1572 yeah know the song very well, the song wants to communicate the exact opposite, actually. Ian brown didn't want people to worship him & what he was trying to say is that desire to be adored is a sin. It's like lust, greed... Because it's a type of apotheosis that provides a transient pleasure, & a true artist should know it. In his own words "a true artist should never sell their soul & should be careful to preserve the flame of creativity in them, a true artist, the one who really has something to say and communicate, doesn't need to be adored. They just express themselves & that's enough, regardless of the result or success achieved"

[@dylanharrington744]

Love the tune, love the man! IB is a legend. I went to his greatest hits tour years ago, after losing my dad in a motorbike accident. Unfortunately, I got stopped at security with a pocket full of joints. Security took them off me and proceeded to throw me out of the venue( Cardiff students union). My good friend agreed to leave with me so I wasn't the only one to miss out! We were escorted to the door where we met a girl with the same story. The next thing I know Ian's tour manager gets off the tour bus and comes over. He said "I'll have a word with Ian and see what we can do". We thought it was a joke but sure enough, Ian gets off the bus and comes over. He said" if I can't get you all back in, I'm not going on stage" and disappears. We were all buzzing at the fact he was concerned enough to say hello but didn't hold much hope. Then Ian appears again, calling us all back to the front door which still had a huge line of people waiting. He says" I've sorted it" and " come with me". We walked back in past all the security with him and he stopped at the doors to backstage. He apologised that we couldn't go too but he was going straight on stage. We all shook hands and entered the arena. What a night, what a gig, what a man!! Much love from Cardiff.

[@mist8k]

@@lemdixon01 Well I have no idea of your political views and nor will I ask of them. When it comes to the trails left by planes.... Planes do produce toxic fumes, (I imagine standing by behind a jet engine would burn my eyes out before it blew me off my feet) but my understanding of the trails, the trails are formed by the pressure/ temp difference. Think when you have low lying clouds it's because of the humidity in the air. High up the pressure is lower, I have a video on my channel, (insta cloud in a bottle) that shows the same thing...... All that being said... you never know, someone might be adding other rando chemicals to the tank but if that was the case the plane wouldn't be able to fly too far as the chemicals would need to be stored separately (in the wing tanks for example ) This would limit that kind of flight to a localised area. But there is a possibility someone is doing it somewhere 🤷‍♂️

Love this tune! He's still got it! The bridge he's standing by at the end of the video (old stone bridge covered in graffiti) leads to Pomona island, which is a small, narrow but fairly long island in between the Bridgewater canal and the River Irwell/Manchester ship canal (I think they are the same thing along that stretch). It's mostly derelict and overgrown these days but is earmarked for large scale "regeneration" so probably crammed with hi rise luxury apartments that are strictly "buy to let" investments for oligarchs and will sit empty!Pity. Pomona island used to be docks, but before that, in Victorian times, it was a pleasure gardens with a huge, grand ballroom and entertainment palace for the people. There was a bowling green, shooting gallery and many other attractions. You could get a boat to there from Victoria arches (near Manchester Cathedral). If you want to know more about Pomona island, check out Martin Zero's video on KZbin. Martin has loads of videos online (mainly, but not only, about Manchester history). They're really interesting and he's a cool guy. Check em out. Also, can anybody tell me what make and model that red bass guitar is that Ian plays at about 3:56 mins into the video? It's gorgeous! I've paused the video to try and read the logo on it but I can't make it out. Peace, Wes.

It's an Italia Marenello guitar. Made in Korea. Chris Rhea is an advocate of them.

[@wesleyharding6076]

@@andrewhaines3259 Hey Andrew, thanks for the info mate. Funny you should mention Chris Rhea as I was talking about him just today. I was unloading a truck at work and the truck driver was singing Driving home for Christmas by Chris Rhea. I recognised it and said to the driver "Chris Rhea's brother nearly blinded me once" he said "really?" I said "Yeah. His name's Nick and he's a stage/tour manager. I was working on a Pogues gig with him at Manchester Apollo and he threw a ball of gaffer tape at me (just messing about) but it hit me right in the eye and really fucking hurt! I couldn't see out of that eye for about 20 minutes! He said sorry so I forgave him. He's a really nice bloke actually" That's my claim to fame anyway! Have a great Christmas Andrew. All the best, Wes.

He's aged like a fine wine. What a dude!

I remember walking the trails along these weird little canals when I was a kid in England. And the old stone bridges every so often. An American kid living there for four years. Great memories over there.

Maybe the symbolism isn't that he throws John's pink Strat in the canal, maybe the fact that it stays afloat is what has real meaning.

[@thetalisman7722]

I really hope so

[@walkerandwilliam]

It’s a rickenbacker

[@inthewildwoods]

Ian is a great songwriter and true to himself. Anyone listening to his live stuff in recent years may be put off by the fact live he might not have the best vocals, but his songs with the Roses and solo are brilliant. Listen to his back catalog. Plus he seems like a real guy no showbiz BS or pretence.Type of guy you would want to chat with if you met him on that canal.

Ian's still got it, very cool song and vid! Lyrically topical and timeless, especially here in the states, everyone bitching about something meaningless!

[@westhomas5870]

@Mark Richardson The only thing he lost was his pink guitar but he was done with the video. Keep what ya got, by giving it all away!

Big up Ian. Back in Bournemouth 95' / 96' I was pushed next to your lad, by mad dad, on a playground. Had a selfie at lymm services 15 years on. You are a legend and nothing short of. The more I hear this the more I love it Warrington 😉
