Oasis reunion

[Ducky]

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.

The Morning Glory album is a great contrast - Lars plays on "Some Might Say", while Alan White (who's easily the best musician in the band in that era) plays on the rest of the record.

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

Just reading about it now, holy shit yeah he cleaned up.

More baffling that he got his first drumkit at the age of six - what the fuck was he doing with it, because he certainly wasn't practicing on it

[Giggles]

Is their hatred of each other as vehement as the press suggests?

Apparently they squashed the beef over a phonecall. Dont know if they have even been in the same room yet!

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Not sure what I was expecting to discover by revisiting Supersonic. It's still a poor, over-long Beatles song. I suppose I did discover that even I'm a good enough drummer to play the whole thing though!

[Bürggermeister]

Did you have a gin and tonic?

[Bogmetaller]

Well if any of ye sound cunts know of tickets floating around gimme a holla ya??

Reading lots of comments from people who caved and bought either a €545 platinum standing ticket or a €415 'in demand standing ticket' this morning.

Fair play to the Gallagher brothers.

I'm sure Oasis have a set fee. The real beneficiary of this crazy pricing is Ticketmaster.

[Pain Medicine]

Well yeah the promotor is making a buck but I'm sure the offer to convince them to bury the hatchet and do the tour must have been a nine figure fee.

I think they're gonna make €15m for the 2 Irish dates so ya, a nice little sweetener to just tolerate each other for a while.

As much as I despise the two Gallagher gmips this isn't them it's on ticketmaster.



I saw a post by MCD this morning saying tickets cannot be resold for higher than face value and anyone found to be doing so will have the tickets cancelled by the promoter. Making touting illegal in Ireland has literally given ticketmaster the monopoly on the market.

[Pagan Saviour]

Ah no fuck off. It's as much the artists fault your Bonos Oasis's and coldplays have the power to stop it. Look at Robert smith and the cure putting a cap on their prices.

[Pain Medicine]

I'm not blaming Oasis or Ticketmaster either. If people are willing to pay €516 to sit on a bucket seat in the Cusack stand for the same 2 hour gig that was €50 last time they played in Dublin then press on. All parties involved are consenting adults 

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Artists could obviously get together and refuse to let this happen. I'm alright Jack all round. Who got behind Pearl Jam when they tried to side with fans? Exactly.

[mickO)))]

That's it they need to get together but in reality that will never happen. The only ones I know of who have ever spoken out on it are Rickey Gervais and Pearl Jam. Sure weren't Metallica involved in some scandal with TM a few years ago that had them milking as much cash as possible from fans for shows?

Not that it's an excuse but I doubt most are even aware of what goes on never mind would even know what a ticket costs to go and see them it would be all left to agents and promoters. When you get to the big level I imagine you have a set fee and once you are guaranteed that you aren't interested in anything else. It's not as if the majority of artists ever go out of their way to help fans out as it is.

As long as the shows sell and ticketmaster keep the monopoly nothing is going to change. A week from now this will all be forgotten and won't come up again until this happens to the next big show that hit's Ireland. It is only the likes of people like us that attend shows regularly who even know this shit goes on. Media are reporting that it's bots that bought up all the tickets and the average joe on the street has no reason to even question that.
