Oasis reunion

[Bogmetaller]

Thoughts?

Cash grab. Zero interest in standing on a pitch or in a field to see them play (I did that 28 years ago) or being gouged for the privilege but I would like some new music. I don't think that'll happen as the brothers both have their own things going on now.

[Bürggermeister]

Fair play to them. Love the first couple of albums and the Masterplan comp. Saw them in Lansdowne Road some time in the early 2000s or possibly late 90s, have never been to a stadium gig since, never will again. I thank them for saving me a small fortune.

[John Kimble]

Doesn't warrant it's own thread here. A distinctly average band that obviously had an impact on the back of the two fairly big albums in the 90's, then released nothing of consequence afterwards. Again, not my type of music but in terms of brit-pop/indie, there were any amount of far better, more interesting bands...Blur, Pulp, Suede, Stone Roses etc etc

[Pagan Saviour]

Agreed. Right place right time and a bit of bollocks about them, but nothing else really. That drummer on the first record stank too.

Tony Carroll, if memory serves. Possibly the dumbest fuck in music. Think they said "you have to up your game, lad", he said "nah" and he got the boot.

[Bürggermeister]

He got the cheque to leave, set for life. Not as dumb as you think.

[Bürggermeister]

McCarroll gets jip and, yeah, he's not a great drummer by any stretch, but there's nothing on the first album which someone else could've done better for those songs. White made shite of those songs when he played them live by overplaying.

Heard McCarroll got 250k with no royalties from then on in the exit. As regards the drumming on the first album, any top drummer who can play in the pocket properly would have made those songs that little bit better.

[Bürggermeister]

The wouldn't have been so basic, which is the charm of what he did, just listen to the way every drummer afterwards played Supersonic. There's genius in simplicity sometimes.

[StoutAndAle]

I don't know a whole lot about Oasis beyond the main '90s stuff.

There must be a bookie offering odds on this not making it to the stage/completing the tour.

Is their hatred of each other as vehement as the press suggests? Rumours abound that Noel is doing this because his divorce is costing him a fortune - but elsewhere there are reports that Noel stone cold refused a reunion a few years back when Liam (allegedly) approached his elder brother and asked to do a series of shows to pay for his divorce at the time.

I assume that they'll have to rehearse this to the nth degree - though shows in the 1990s were catastrophic and they didn't seem to care - presumably they'll have to talk to each other.

Who else is in Oasis? Is it going to be Liam's backing band and Noel?

The only thing that I give a shit about is that the Manics are rumored to be the support band.

Other way round for these shows, Noel's backing band + Liam. A shame, the last Oasis line up had some talent, including Andy Bell from Ride but they've reformed since and are doing well.

Edit: I've just read that Bonehead is involved, which would suggest a focus on the earlier albums. Makes sense, it'll be the 30th anniversary of ...Morning Glory when they're touring.

[Don Gately]

God what a terrible band, so mediocre musically wise and absolute fucking knob heads. Oasis for me symbolised the worst of the 90s along with those other fuckwits Limp Bizkit.

[Eoin McLove]

I never knew Oasis had a Lars. I'll have to listen to something off the first alum and see if the drumming stands out as being poor against the fucking sucky music and dogshit singing.

Limp Bizkit are decent. Oasis only have the one good album the one with Gary glitter on it
