Wow my fave band and I never knew any of this! Slash with the Roses would have been epic. Yeah unfinished monkey business was savage with Squire. I believe the Roses even played ice cold cube after he leftReni left in early 1995, John Squire left the band April 1996. Slash’s manager wanted to manage The Stone Roses, Slash announced in October 1996 that he was no longer a part of Guns N' Roses. Brown and Mani turned down the offer and dissolved the remains of the group October 1996.
I think it would have been interesting. Pretty sure Ian Brown and Mani regret not seeing how that might have turned out rather than dismissing the idea straight away over Slash’s leather trousers. Ian Brown’s first album ‘Unfinished Monkey Business’ had a few shots aimed at John Squire.
“I only ever wanted the one with the flag
But all you ever wanted was a sixty dollar bag
And a cheap limousine for your deep pile dream
On the highway”
The one with the flag being the first album and the sixty dollar bag being cocaine..
One a similar note John Squire’s band The Seahorses split up citing ‘creative differences’ - those creative differences were John Squire wanting to do a concept album based on the video game ‘Tomb Raider’
Make of that what you will.
