- I was alerted to this Ian Brown performance by one of you, so thank you! Ian Brown has been lambasted by fans because they turned up to his show and he didn't even have a band on stage with him. Some claimed it was just like watching karaoke! What do you think? Would you expect a live band when you're going to see your favourite singer perform, or do you care? Does it even matter? Tell me!

I saw Ian Brown live at a festival he came on said all the other bands were shit. Implied I should be grateful for his presence. He then went on to do the worst set I’ve ever seen.
ha, classic Ian...
I once fell out of a window. Still better than Ian Brown.
@@frankblunt2482 😂Brilliant!!!
@MADCHESTER UTD cute mate, cute
@MADCHESTER UTD Just a pity he sang them really.
Met Ian many years ago before a gig. He was really polite/genuine.
Went to one of the Stone Roses' comeback gigs at Finsbury Park about 10 years ago. The band was great and you couldn't hear Ian Brown singing over the crowd. It was great. 10/10
Lol.
I went to the manny gigs and can confirm that the crowds vocals...and guitar parts tbh...were off the charts
@@tomwilko7841 Reni is always great to watch
Hahaha I was there too, and always describe it exactly like that! Couldn't hear him at all over the crowd but it was one of the best gigs!!!
The Friday was so good I went back on Saturday and bought tickets off a tout.
I think he should do the next gig acapella. Then everyone will be talking about how great the Leeds gig was in retrospect.
When i saw the title i was hoping that’s what it meant😂
Hahaha Brilliant 👏
Ha
😂😂😂
First glance I read that as "alopecia" 🤣
Your calculations of him keeping his overheads down and singing "La La La La" into the mic was hilarious! I thought the same thing too, he's morphed into Bez....PS: I love your Cult t-shirt!
What a performance. He should get DJ Khalid to play guitar for him. What a duo they would make, though he’d have to also replace the existing laptop guy to fit in the Robin Reliant.
Keep up the good work Mr Hawkins, you never fail to make me laugh x
Ian does a great Frank Sidebottom impersonation.
“ Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated” said Johnny Rotten to the crowd on the last leg of a US tour.
That's the best live singing I've ever heard Ian Brown do. To be fair.
Gotta say brother, you are my breath of fresh air every morning!!! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face each day!!!
This reminds me of a Lindsey Buckingham gig I saw quite a few years ago. He played at a local venue as a solo artist one year and he had a brilliant band. My buddy and I went and had a brilliant time. So a few years later I see that he is again returning to our local venue as a solo act and I immediately called my friend. Granted the tickets to this gig were obscenely expensive ...I think they were $80 ... but we remembered how good the previous show was so we didn't bat an eye at the cost. Doors were at 7:30 no supporting act and the show started at 9:00 sharp. We arrive at exactly 7:30 grab a drink and scope out our seats. Not as good as the previous show but it isn't a huge venue so we're not bothered. We chat, we sip our drinks and we reminisce over the last show in anticipation of another brilliant evening!
9:00 sharp the house lights go out and as the curtains slowly open music starts to play and the stage lights come up on a completely empty stage. No wait there is a single microphone stand center stage with a guitar chord hanging off of it. Lindsey Buckingham walks on stage snaps his guitar cable into his guitar and begins to play and sing along with the backing track. I can't tell if he is really playing because I heard guitar before he plugged in and I certainly don't hear MORE guitar now that he is in fact ... plugged in. There is a guitar solo and I'm pretty sure he played it. And of course he is singing ... no question about that. He's very brief between songs ... not so much as even a "It's great to be back to the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom!" or anything. He plays a few hits ... because he's got some. He shades his brow and salutes us, says "Thank you very much!" unplugs his guitar and walks off stage. I look at my phone 9:40. I turn to my friend and smile and say "Surely this is an intermission! He'll be back!" people are still clapping and I halfheartedly say "Maybe he will play a 30 minute encore?" The house lights come back up. I hopefully look towards the bar thinking we could get another drink during intermission but all the bars around the venue are dark, closed ... I glance towards the exit doors and they are illuminated and all wide open. Finally the house announcements come up thanking us for coming out and inviting us back for another great show at the historic Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom! 😳
The Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom's capacity is 2,200 x $80 = $176,000 ... that means Lindsay Buckingham makes $4,400 a minute! There were no LED lights on the stage and I assume the house set up the mic stand. Who knows Lindsey himself probably hit play on the cassette deck back stage before waltzing on to sing along with his "Greatest Hits!" So I don't think he had a road manager or any tech crew with him for support ... so I'm sure he made all the money.
Lindsey Buckingham makes Ian Brown seem like the hardest working bloke in Rock and Roll! 😂
Wow
I would've thought Lindsey Buckingham had more self respect than that.
You are shitting me! That's obscene. He spends more time whining about Stevie on a Friday night.
@@awookieandagerman he is still bitter about wasting all that time on "What's Up With That?"
At least you got to see him. 3 times I have had tickets for a show that hasn't happened.
2011, European tour cancelled, May 2022 European tour rescheduled as he had Covid, and this weeks concert in Glasgow cancelled the day before as he was unwell.
Lindsay has more talent in his big toe than brown has in his entire body
‘It might just be as simple as pressing a spacebar and then holding a pint’
😂
Saw him in Manchester a few days ago. It was amazing and I could tell Ian was loving it himself, was mint.
Only just discovered these YT videos by you JH and am loving them. Even more as there is a nice back catalogue for me to work through. Genuinely laugh out loud moments- you're killing me with the Reliant Regal jokes - great stuff :)
Saw him once, weirdly supporting the Manic Street Preachers. I was aware of his hit and miss performances but he and his band, that night, were fabulous.
Brilliant!! This made me inadvertently spill coffee on my lap, and spit some out in a coughing/laughing fit. Ian Brown analysis should come with a beverage related safety notice!
Could have been worse, like spilling coffee on your laptop!
Lol!!@@BloodSweatAndMeth , I'm guilty. Total boomer quip 😁
I've never once bought a ticket to see "Ian Browns Band'.
I remember watching your videos on MTV when I was younger. Amazing stuff friend. Your voice is insanely awesome
great episode. I really enjoyed the part where you were going like "Na-na Na-nan na naaaa". That was my favorite part.
I've heard rumours, that his next shows will be without an audience as well.
lol lol 😂😂
Hahaha
With Aziz Ibrahim playing air guitar.
It’s ironic that in his opening song a lyric is ‘ I am the greatest show on earth ‘ . !! It’s crazy he went this way about things .
😂
Justin not only do you play a mean guitar, you are a financial genius!
Can't get better than this combo.
I like stone roses but would not go to this type of show lol!
🤣🤣🤣🤣“…an evening with IAN BROWN … and his Karaoke-Machine… 🤣🤣🤣🦊
I honestly cannot fathom why Justin isn't on TV with this kind of content. I don't know how much he's making from the RUclipss, but it isn't enough. He's a national treasure.
He'd be brilliant fronting a revival of Old Grey Whistle or similar, plus this kind of analysis.
No one watches TV anymore
Good question! There's no doubting his talent but to me he should be way beyond critiquing other artists on RUclips. He should be headlining again but easier said than done....
Mock Rock there from Ian Brown.
TV? thats for c grade comedians entertaining life dead people.
I agree, I think there's such a gap for music programming on TV now and this kind of format would be wonderful. Think the problem though is people simply don't discover music or music related news by watching TV like they used to, it's a massive shame.
At the risk of being awkward, you are single handedly changing my mind about the suitability of English men for me. Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant Mr Hawkins - you really ought to comment on Eurovision in place of Graham Norton. You are a true genius - and very funny
Yaaasss
Only Ian Brown could pull this off , Legend !!!!
He’s a rip-off merchant. But if you wanna give him money…batter in pal.
@@gzz8551 how is he ? He is doing what he loves doing and what’s supposed to be his fans going to see him you know what your getting when you go see ian brown he is not a good singer everyone knows he is a shit singer he is just like Liam Gallagher been in his presence should be enough he is a legend simple as he brown is he brown what you see is what you get and like I said he is a shit singer anyone who knows anything about ian brown knows that he didn’t do any roses songs if he did a hits tour people would have said it was amazing
@@jamiemumford6319
He’s charging £40 for karaoke mate.
@@gzz8551 40 divided by let’s say a hour 60 min is roughly 66 a minute £3.30 for five minutes so for Ian brown to sing you a song every five minute to see ian brown who is a shit singer live any how band or no band not bad really is it surely ?
@@jamiemumford6319
Watching someone do karaoke isn’t worth £4 let alone £40.
Why didn’t he just tour with a band??
Cos it’s less expensive and he makes more money. Mate if you’re into this shit then have-at-it. This is a case of what people are willing to accept for their money.
This is incredible sarcastic comedy. 😂😂
Pishing myself. My favourite video on the channel.
'lets say Nando's...' LOL
Almost fell out my chair laughing on this one!
Loving your work Justin 😅 legend.
I’ve met Ian a couple of times whilst he was rehearsing with the stone roses for the Heaton park gigs then a few years later for the etihaad gigs at a place in our area that does stages and lighting. He was the most attentive and talkative of the whole band and even remembered my name after only meeting for a few moments. He’s one of life’s good guys but with all this said …. You just have to have a band of some description I believe. I find it really surprising that he’s gone down this road with his act
I have a lot of brown gig from Edinburgh. It was a 1 man show & after £1,200 for the venue for 6 hours £ £1,300 security he pocketed £120,000.
He had 1 personal security guy & 1 guy playing his laptop backing tunes.
He did the O2 tour so he doesn't pay management costs they give him 20 days to pick 15 of their venues in the UK cheap.
Barrowlands Glasgow is £2,000 to hire + security.
It was money nothing else.
1 hour 20 mins.
1.3m for himself.
Most bands of 5 get around 15,000 per person, per night because they have management, brown didn't.
People did walk out but it finished well.
Are you ians mum?
@@warrior.4895 I was wondering about the costs side of it - so your details on that are really informative. Nice one.
Love how Justin can’t hide his contempt for Ian Brown 👌😂
I love your sense of humor 🤣🤣
Thanks! Your deadpan delivery just made this hysterical 🖖🤘
Thank you for watching :)
Firstly, thank you Jus, for posting after a long haul flight. Glad you got back safely. Both Taylor Hawkins Tribute concerts were amazing, or what I've seen via people's phone vids (US concert). Just enough time to appreciate your own bed, bath etc, before going back on tour. Love your lion, rest well. 😴🦁🎶
First of all you were exceptionally fabulous at Taylor’s tribute ❤
if brown was singing in my back garden i wouldnt even look out the window..
If my window was open I'd definitely pull it shut.
I would call the police and have him removed if he was in my garden....would rather lick the floor of an abbatoir than see Ian Brown and I'm Vegan 😱🤯
I would because I’d be wondering how Ian Brown has ended up in my back garden
Apparently, right. Trespass isn't illegal until you're asked to leave.
😂😂😂😬
I broke my toe a few hours ago. Nothing had made me smile until this. I fucking love your stuff mate 😂❤️
Thanks Justin, you nailed it again
I love how much thought went in to the calculations 🤣
This is your best video yet.
My old man's a dustman has the same vibe as this gig.
An evening with Ian Brown and his karaoke machine! 🤣🤣😅😂
Diplomatic as ever...far more interesting than overt sarcastic criticism. Carry on sir, we'll keep watching.
Cheers John!
another rare Hawkins comments appearance ;)
@@badguacamole3709 he always gives at least a polite response to those who donate.
Incorrect. You clearly don't read the comments thoroughly. RUclips highlights the SuperThanks, it's not my fault you're seeing them at the top and ignoring the comments I do respond to.
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain
But still I never get a reply whenever Im asking when Dan Hawkins is gonna do an exclusive guest appearance on this little RUclips channel and elevate the whole thing more than a few levels? :-/
I agree - it’s impossible to be angry with Ian Brown
It is when you are an original fan. The band as an whole would have destroyed any musicians who would of dared to do this. They would have destroyed bono if he had done this. Any money you are a glory fan 😂🤣
Love your videos. You were amazing on both Taylor Hawkins tributes!
Cheers for this vid. I'm not well at the minute and this made me laugh, especially the calculation of profit. I've got an image stuck in my head now of Ian Brown sat in my local Nandos
Digging The Cult T-shirt 😎
Ian Brown karaoke nights sounds a blast if he can get away with it before the penny drops. The accountants tour.
He’s always been a shocker of a singer.
The Roses though 😎
You should do an air guitar version at your next solo gig
Hah! Way to show diplomacy and tact. You kept it tasteful, yet sprinkled it with just enough sarcasm AND truth to make it entertaining. All the while donning a kick-ass vintage rock-n-roll t-shirt. Justin, you ARE rock-r-roll! Thanks.
I'm a Stone Roses fan but your commentary had me laughing so hard Justin. 😂 Really looking forward to your gig at the Power Station in Auckland, NZ on the 22nd October. 🤩 x
I NEED guitars ! ! !
Thank you Justin. Keep ripping.
Me too. I can't stop buying them either.
Your rendition of the na na nas was hysterical 😅😅😅
lol it was
🤣 you have me in stickers justin just what I needed today
You rock Justin 🤘 thank you for the Taylor tribute gigs. I was lucky enough to be at the Wembley one. Have loved Ian Brown for years too, met him on the Big Breakfast's 2000th show! I'd have probably still loved his gig. Great with a band too. Don't change Justin 🤘
Don’t forget to add the cost of the air guitar and air plectrum for the pick slide. 😂
You have a talent for finding hope in the most horrible things, lol, brilliant… Again
OMG this really brought a tear or two to my eyes 😂
Justin - your commentary is Comedy Gold !!!!🥇👌👊
So Good- Rock On!
“It’s Not About the Music “ So Funny !
I’ve given up my ticket for the London gig this week. What’s criminal, is that his solo bands of the past, with Aziz Ibrahim, were brilliant. Worth the money on their own.
I saw him supporting manic street preachers in about 2003, the band he had were top quality and Aziz is such a good guitarist.
Aziz is playing pub floors atm. For free I believe
His voice actually sounds better than it used to lol. And I respect him going out there with no band to make him look cool. Just him, and a mic. Doing Ian Brown, and if you like it, then join in.
Agree
Were people made aware the gig/tour was going to be like this before it started? I'd feel pretty ripped off if I turned up expecting a band and got this.
Exactly lol all the people pissed off went expecting a stone roses set probably, not knowing that the majority of Ian Browns solo stuff is electronic so a band would make no sense.
to make him look cool? To make more money more like. He's a legend but personally I would rather have a live band there.
Hilarious review Justin😀
First time I ever seen the darkness was in Scotland t in the park was and still is an amazing band,can't wait to see u guys next February.great channel also.
I was so lucky to be at the LA Taylor Hawkins tribute- you were absolutely a highlight of the night and I loved that you and Rufus performed together. I’m sure Taylor would have loved it! I have to ask, did you design your own costumes for the tributes? You and Kesha looked 🔥🔥! xo
I’m a new subscriber but i’m loving your channel. Really appreciate your humour and positivity and enjoy hearing your opinions. You were brilliant at both TH tribute gigs, you really gave it everything you had. I’m definitely gonna come and see The Darkness on tour now, I can’t wait. Now for the very shallow bit - I love your haircut.
Thanks Sophie!!
I went to see him, loved it..
Oh, man, you do make me laugh. Thank you x
Hey he always sung “I wanna be a door!” Now he’s as close to being a door as he can be.
Yep, he's a doorknob now😂
Thank you! A bit like "Lidl buy Lidl" 🤣
I wanna be a dog, terrible bark he has. Maybe he's had too much Chappie.
@@eduardo4135 “I wanna be in fooog” “I wanna be hot dog”
My mate went (a big Roses fan) and said it was THE worst gig he has ever been to. I love the Roses and have seen IB solo a few times- he's never been able to sing live, but it was always somewhat saved by having a decent band behind him. Fells kinda like he's fleecing the fans
I accidentally ended up at a Stone Roses reunion gig back in the day and it's still to this day the worst gig I've been to. They were AWFUL!
@@Hoscitt see, I went to see them twice on the reunion cash in, both times the weak link was the frontman (as always) but the sum was greater the parts, for me at least.
I went to both nights at their Ethiad gigs, fucking shit. They clearly couldn’t be arsed being there, they were even cutting down intros to songs lol
Idk this band, but for a 60 year old man. He isn't bad at all!
@@Hoscitt Ian Brown may have been shit but John Squire awful, really? The guy is a guitar god.
I was at Rock City. It rocked.
I audibly sighed when you said you could take nae more 😂
Slightly random: I saw Ian Brown in the Natural History Museum many years ago. He got annoyed because I kept stage whispering to my mate " that's Ian Brown". Btw, he wasn't an exhibit.
I was at his gig in Manchester, although fun I was missing the band! Edit. Luckily I have seen him with a band, and it was awesome, but for some, it was their first time seeing him, and felt sad for them!
You crack me up JH, Sublime!
I'm absolutely loving your channel and videos Justin! I've been an immediate fan of the darkness since permission to land hit stateside. Have you considered doing a video about W.A.S.P., skunk anansie, or skindred? I also just wanted to remind you that "I'M STILL HERE!" thank you for everything you do!
I went to the Ian Brown gig Nottingham, 6th October 2022, not expecting much after the reviews in the press. It was one of the best gigs I've been to in years!! Never trust reviews in the press, a bad review gets them much more attention then an honest review!!!!
The calculation 🤣🤣🤣
Ian brown legend
Brown's setting a new precedent with this gig. It's only a matter of time till others follow where he has led.
there is a whole very rich genre that already does this and it is called rap but even they at least get a visible DJ and sometimes even a hypeman
@@EclecticoIconoclasta *MC, not "hypeman". And him liking hip hop that much and knowing that his fans will take whatever he throws at them, he knows he can pull this off for a while
OH Dude!!!! What a Sweet Cult T-Shirt !!!!!
The maths section of this video was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while😂😂
I think I could sit and listen to you read the phone book Justin...lol
In the 90s I did some gigs with just me , a drum machine , a guitar and an old poly61 with the arp switched on , nobody clapped at all , somebody shouted where’s the drummer
I love and respect this
Great comment, Trent!

"-An evening with Ian Brown and his karaoke machine... Brought to you by his Reliant Robin Van".... I want that concert shirt so bad.
I saw him years ago at Glastonbury, Sunday night, the Other Stage, Headliner no less. The Roses had broken up but he had a pretty handy band with him. I was tired after a very entertaining few days. I was slumped in a camping chair when a "Manc" in a silly hat came up behind me and kicked me in the back exhorting me to "get up and fuckin' dance man. Its Ian Brown man!". He was right, it was Ian Brown. I could tell because he couldn't really sing very well.

You had some fun with this one haha

Thats how daft Stone Roses fans are, he could screw them in the bum and they would be thankful
Some would call it arrogance
"So you want me to pay you £40 - plus travel expenses - to go to a big crowded room and listen to a bunch of CDs I've already paid for, except with a live, err, 'vocal'". Doesn't that sound tempting, boys and girls.
Not many things make me actually laugh out loud but this video did. Bloody brilliant.
Can't wait to see Ian Brown unplugged in New York.
First time I heard someone from the UK say Nando’s without saying cheeky.
Not entirely sure what anyone's expecting in 2022 with an Ian Brown gig
Flying robots and machine guns
