This is becoming a huge slagging match now. Kelly hasn't said any more about it than "there's been some problems since JEEP," and now Stu's coming out with all this "YGGTTCB was OK nothing special" (I'm sure he doesn't believe that) and slagging Kelly and Rich off. It's all very sad that it's come to this - surely they're old enough and still have enough respect for each other to sit down and sort this shit out.  |

Quote: Getting sacked was one of the worst things that ever happened to me, but I don't miss either Kelly or Richard on a personal level
It's not about what Gucci sunglasses you're wearing, how straight your hair is, how much money you're making. Some people forget that, and get precious about it. Q magazine said the 'Phonics had 'turned into the Kelly Jones show
I don't want to slag anyone off, but Stereophonics ended up with one person calling all the shots. Not a lot of people had a say otherwise.
 c'mon stuart..... you're just throwing your toys out of the pram now, and through the press as well....
Quote: But first he has to lay the ghost of the band to rest. "What Stereophonics had was chemistry. I believe that if you take one element away, that original chemistry's gone, disappeared.

I didn't read this but can pretty much guess what was said...I just think it's very sad that so called friends can treat eachother that way.... and in the public eye too... 
I can't blame Stu for being bitter it's a natural reaction after what has happened to him and personally I still have time for him.
This wont solve anything at the end of the day...and will only ensure they never get back to what they once had. |

Quote: I'm sorry yeh but stu is really pissing me off at the momment by saying some of the stuff he did about the band.
Youve just been sacked by your 2 best mates in a job that was probably your dream job for most of your life, I think i'd be inclined to slag a few people off. Especially if Stuart is telling the truth and no one told him about any commitment issues.
Quote: btw.... sorry ben but people do still have an opinion on this... (referring to your post in the previous thread )
I know, but I dont understand why people are getting so heated up about it. Look at it on simple terms, theyre a band, 3 lads who've done well for themselves, making music that people like, theyve fallen out, kicked one out, replaced him, carry on making good music. Isnt that what people want?
The way some people go on its like theyd have prefered the band to split up. |

I would if Kelly's doing what Stu is saying and basically being a dictator. What is the point in the rest of them then? He might as well just do it all himself.
Although I know I can't really presume that Stu is telling the whole truth, as everyone keeps saying, there are two sides to every story.
I do know that stereophonics recently seem to be getting worse, rather than better and I don't see how sacking the drummer is going to make a whole lot of a difference.
Just what I think. Its sad how it's came to this but personally i'm fed up with the lot of them, and wish they would just sort it out between themselves. |

Why wasn't Stuart man enough to tell Kelly he was acting like he was the boss? Stuart is saying things now he should have done back then and he doesn't need to spread every thing out in the newspaper.
I don't think Kelly is the boss in the band. It are his songs.., his thoughts, so he has also got the music in his head too. The old albums have got shared music credits, but those songs are less personal.
I also think the band has envolved a lot. Now it is a serious rock band, who wants to be the best in the world. During the JEEP tour I sometimes had the feeling that they felt allright now, being some band around. Also the atmosphere 2 weeks ago was a lot better than in October.
Everythings moving on. I also think that Scott is coming to the band during the next album and it is going to be a 5 piece rather than a 2 piece. I think it because of the new group pictures which included Steve, Tony and Scott..
So, we'll see. But Stuart is losing my respect... |

I agree with you 100%. Theyve been getting worse since JEEP. |

| Worse since JEEP? They’ve been getting worse since WGA. P&C is not as good as WGA, JEEP is not as good as P&C, although YGGTTCB is on a par with P&C, but as a band they are unrecognisable to what they were. |

I can understand (or try to) why Stuart is pissed off but he's being childish... it is never just one person's fault, there has to be something
all of them are guilty of.
Kelly might have been bossy and "all work and no play", but Stuart is now saying that he wants to be the star of the band, with his straight hair and all that.
Now who wants to be a star, with his TV show and his presenter girlfriend?
I don't believe Stuart didn't want the attention of the press, he's always been the loud one in the band.
Sorry Stu but Stereophonics are still about music, they might be getting worse for some of you who followed them from WGA, but they are not in there for the record sales. |

| kelly being bossy? don't blame him. may he's just more ambitious than stuart. maybe stuart is happy just being in successful band, where as it seems kelly wants to be in the biggest and best band in the world. and that takes hard work surely. |

I agree with you to an extent, but what I was trying to say was the step from WGA to P+C wasnt bad, WGA will never be bettered but the progression onto P+C was natural, since then theyve gone downhill completely, they should be ashamed to call themselves a rock band. |

Quote: 'Phonics had turned into the Kelly Jones show
Quote: "Any new band, it wouldn't be that way. I think a band is all about a democracy otherwise what's the point in being there? Everyone just gets frustrated and thinks: I'm not going to put 110% effort into this because no-one listens to what I've got to say. That's what I would do differently in a new band. Towards the end of my time in the Phonics, I was feeling like a session musician and that's not why I got into music in the first place."
I think that ^^ is true, unfortunately |

Why should they be ashamed???
They have gone downhill for you, not for everybody on here.
Should they be releasing a WGA every year just to keep the nostalgic fans happy??
Stuart should be ashamed of what he is saying to the press, just to get a bit more popularity out of it all. |
