Gemmill 44805 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I liked the first two albums, and then thought it was largely a procession of genuine shite with a few good songs dropped in here and there. I would class myself as a fan though, but I couldn't be less interested in this. The return and all the will they/won't they that preceded it. I am interested to see the shock horror response to the price of the tickets though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35062 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) Quite liked Definitely Maybe but I don’t think it’s aged that well. I like ‘Columbia’ and honestly that’s about it. I mean out of their whole back catalogue, not just their first album. But while I think their music is largely bland shite, it’ll be absolutely nothing compared to the horror that will be the audience at these concerts.

Ayatollah Hermione 13860 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I heard Liam trying to sing the other month so it’s a good thing that the audience will be so coked up that they’ll not notice 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 11361 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Aye. First two albums were canny, and there's maybe another dozen at a push songs after those that I like. Pulp were still the best of the "Britpop" bands imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30560 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 They definitely have enough good tunes to fill a concert but for a 'legendary' band their lyrics are at nursery rhyme level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17242 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Saw Noel at a venue 7 mins from where I live earlier this year. Second half of which was an Oasis fest. Left before the encore. They’ve been played to fuckin death, him and his brother were refreshingly normal council estate kids 30 years ago but now they’re boring middle aged wankers like the rest of us…so yeah, judging by what’s being said on a couple of WhatsApp groups someone will be trying to get me a ticket 😆 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 As an "alternative" kid In the mid 90s I was banging out Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Green Day, Rancid, Offspring, RATM, Soundgarden etc. I never got on the whole Britpop/Indie train so can thankfully watch the scramble for tickets from afar! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no interest in the reunion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh it even felt quite manufactured at the time. The peak being the Blur v Oasis and who was going to be number one. I think I’ve mentioned it on here before but it came on the news about it when a few of us were round at my mates. We’d all have been in our early twenties and literally none of us gave a shite. Also I’m not sure how much in common, beyond being guitar based indie groups, a lot of the bands actually had with each other. Having said that, Oasis were undoubtedly a huge phenomenon. As evidenced by the amount of twats walking around looking like they simultaneously had a stone in their shoe, had shit their pants and were carrying two rolls of invisible carpet 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no interest in the reunion. Same. There definitely was something about them live. A weird amount of energy produced on stage by blokes who barely shifted. I suspect that energy has long since left the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44805 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 It'll be impossible to get an objective view on how this goes though. There'll be a huge majority who won't say it was anything other than the 90s all over again, and a minority who have already decided today that they're gonna say it was shite.

Gemmill 44805 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 The worst thing about it for most is gonna be traipsing away from the venue and remembering that your in your 50s now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4247 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 The best thing about this is going to be the pictures of lads in the 40/50’s who never grew out of the “scene” but certainly got a lot fatter, and I can’t wait. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44805 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Big round faces and double chins with bad dye-jobs on their wispy sideburns. Burberry shirts with serious button-gape. The return of the monkey-walk. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15518 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I hope they open with "Little James" just to fuck with everyone. £300 for a ticket, at least the same for travel and accommodation, beers a tenner each at venue prices, and then: Live for your TOOOOOOOOYS Even though they make NOOOOOOOOISE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15518 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Just exaggerating for effect - I'm sure the top ticket band will be well into three figures because that's big gigs for you these days, but I hope for everyone's sake it won't be quite that bad. The drinks prices, on the other hand... 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33129 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I took the missus for a hospital appointment and oasis were on the radio, we came back and it was on a different station, yep oasis on again. I then nipped out to get some shopping and on the news the first story was this with the radio station news presenter saying 'Well people will have been getting their old radio cassette players out and their old CDs of oasis as the band have announced a reunion tour.....blah, blah.' I fucking hate radio news, they're the worst kind of smug, no fuck all type of office cunt around, like. I mean, just the shit patter premise that this announcement has galvanised oasis fans to listen to them as if they haven't listened to them since the 90s? I couldn't give a fuck either way but the way they jump on anything and exaggerate everything to fuck. Dear Christ, man. Fuck. Off. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
