triumphant return of the Stone Roses?

Twitter and the blogosphere was alight with excitement upon the rumour that the legendary Stone Roses are going to reform for some gigs in 2012.

if this all goes the way Clash (link here), Louder than War (link here) and other outlets have described what should happen - a press conference in Manchester next Tuesday announcing a few reunion gigs to take place in Manchester - these could be the hottest selling tickets of the new year.

I mean, I'd sell a limb to go see them. in Manchester of all places! I already did it for Morrissey...why not? now that I play bass, I have a lot better appreciation for Mani's bass playing and I for one would not want to miss the chance to see the master at work.
