John Squire explains why the Stone Roses never made a new album during 2011 reunion

John Squire has explained why The Stone Roses never made a new album during their 2011 reunion tour.It has now been 30 years since the Manchester legends released a record, with their last full-length project ‘Second Coming’ dropping in 1994. Although the band reunited briefly for a 2011 tour, and released two singles in 2016 before their split in 2019, they never made any new albums – and now, guitarist Squire has said why.In an interview with The Guitarist (via Music News), Squire said that “no one wanted to do it – so it turned out to not be that frustrating at all.”Squire went on to say that had the group recorded a third album, his guitar playing would be “more measured and respectful”.

Paul Weller criticises younger artists for not releasing enough music

Paul Weller has said he thinks younger artists don’t release enough music.The singer-songwriter, who was formerly the frontman of The Jam, put his success and longevity of his career down to frequently releasing music and touring and has said he doesn’t understand why some younger artists go several years without putting out a new record.“Isn’t that part of the job description, that you go on tour and you make records? That’s probably an old-school way of looking at it, but that’s all it’s about really,” Weller told the Daily Star Sunday‘s Wired column [via MusicNews].“I think it still applies. I think there’s something to be said for consistency and keep pushing it and pushing it and pushing it out.“As opposed to a lot of the younger artists who make an album then don’t make another for five or seven years.

Paul Weller says he’s “not a heritage act” – and has lost fans as a result

Paul Weller has said that he has lost fans because he refuses to be “a heritage act”.The singer-songwriter, who was formerly the frontman of The Jam, discussed his long musical career and revealed that he has fought to avoid becoming classed as a heritage artist.Although first finding fame in the iconic British rock band in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and later forming the band The Style Council in 1982, Weller has spent the majority of his career as a solo artist – starting in 1992.Despite this, he says, there always have been people who think he should be sticking to releasing songs that sound like his former bands.“A few years ago there was a thing where they were talking about heritage acts… I am not going down that road, mate – I’m not a heritage act,” he said on his Desperately Seeking Paul podcast. “I had to fight that term, my own little fight in a sense to get through all that stuff.”He continued, recalling the impact that the “fight” had on his career as a solo act.
