Former STONE ROSES guitarist John Squire certainly got the rumor mill going in full swing today, thanks to an interview in "Time Out" magazine that has him direct quoted as saying his 2005 plans include "making a ferocious guitar record on my own, then put the Roses back together." Lots of talk has swirled about a possible Stone Roses reunion for some time now, with bassist Mani often citing the possibility in interviews. What remains to be seen at this point, however, is whether or not Squire can put an end to the slagfest going on lately between himself and former Roses frontman Ian Brown. Beyond THAT, the 3 would then have to look under every rock in Manchester in search of Roses drummer Reni, who pretty much disappeared off the map when he left the band a decade ago. Today's news, while not a confirmation by any stretch of the mile, does make us raise an optimistic eyebrow, as until now, it's been thought that Squire would be the biggest hurdle to overcome if the Roses were to ever attempt a reunion. Seeing as how if they were to reform it would likely be the biggest news story we've ever covered, it's safe to assume that we WILL keep you informed as things play out...
