Ian Brown has labelled as Manchester bands as self-destructive.
Manchester-based music groups are self-destructive, according to former Stone Roses legend Ian Brown.
Commenting on the recent Oasis split, he told the Guardian that while one band from the city will never have negative things to say about another, internally there is often back-biting and quarrelling.
Brown said: "Within each Manchester band, people will rip each other apart: Mondays, Smiths, New Order, Roses, Oasis. No one will slag each other off, but inside the band they'll rip each other to death."
He went on to rule out a Roses reunion, saying that while he is proud of all that the band achieved, the group would be unable to recreate the feeling that it had 20 years ago when its members felt they were fighting the world together.
Earlier this month the Times described Brown’s latest album release - My Way - as "plodding" and "dogged", saying that it will impress fans but is unlikely to attract new listeners.
