There's dissent amongst the middle-aged heroes of yore in Manchester. In a scene familiar to anyone who has made the mistake of going on-line after a few drinks, Stone Roses/Primal Scream bassist Gary ?Mani? Mountfield had some rather choice words for his ex-bandmate Peter Hook last week.
Things must have got rather tense in Freebass, the band that until earlier this year also featured Smiths? bassist Andy Rourke, before tarmac-voiced Mani lost it on twitter.
There was a time when a man could have a rant about his bandmates, safe in the knowledge that it wouldn't go much further than a disinterested manager… however, this is the age of the internet.
