Oasis - Classic or Dud?

They did a reasonable amount of touring compared to some, but bustups and fuckups did grind a few tours to a halt.

Good chance this could be canceled too.

But the damage has already been done (songs are stuck in my head)

apologies if this was already shared

watching my dog have a shit this morning was a better thing I saw today

Yeah afraid I was not as entertained as promised by BBC3.

i enjoyed it

now i had pretty low expectations going in ...

I hate these cunts. Neil Kulkarni sussed them from the fucking beginning.

Pearl Jam was and is way more interesting than Oasis ever was, sorry.

I hate them too and I'm so tired of hearing about this already, yet here I am posting about it.

I'm all about the peace and love but have for decades had a massive latent desire to punch Liam in the face. I am somewhat acquainted with the singer in Nowaysis so maybe I could come to some arrangement for him to be my surrogate Liam punchbag?

I would go see them with a free ticket. I liked the cokehead insanity of the first What's The Story Morning Glory follow-up single where the video starts out with a helicopter.

brutal if true

(it is true)

Foo Fighters being the most popular ongoing relic of the grunge era and not Pearl Jam is a major indictment of the taste of that generation, but it's also not very surprising.

Oasis reuniting in 2024. i suppose the Hoffman forums are lit lately.

Foo Fighters fanbase skews younger than Pearl Jam, it's weird to encounter young people for whom Dave Grohl is the guy from Foo Fighters not Nirvana

that's basically anyone under 40

yeah I'm saying they have way more under 40 and younger fans, so I wouldn't call the FF a Gen X exclusive thing as much as PJ (addressing Omar's point)

It makes sense. Grohl has done so much shit big and small outside of music that cumulatively gets them much more attention - off the top of my head, appearing on popular cooking shows, refusing to license his music to Glee which made some waves, his own TV shows about various things, his book, rickrolling right wing nuts, etc. - while PJ seems to mostly stick with music. I can't say those are good reasons why they're more popular, it just is.

Neil Kulkarni sussed them from the fucking beginning.

Neil's writing at the time on them is absolutely amazing; here's a good seven-minute going in via the Chart Music podcast in recent times:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiMnUBFbQJg

Among the eight million reasons I wish he was still around: he would have hated this news but boy would he have had things to say.

LMAO, that was a brutal takedown. The factory-damaged jeans remark remind me of what Iggy Pop told Elvis Costello in another lockdown-era interview:

Iggy Pop: When I heard your music, I felt like you were the only thing coming out of the U.K. that wasn’t going along with the I’m-a-monster-with a-guitar-riff thing. The whole guitar riffage was going up and up and up. You were either that or, no offense to her, you were Lulu...you were either doing schlock or you were doing this thing that every six months was getting more stupid and dull. Being English, you know about this — when you don’t have much money, you save the tea bag for a second squeeze. That’s how rock was getting at that time. You came up with something different.

Neil Kulkarni OTM not only about Oasis but about everything else there.

"a celebration of stupidity and conservatism" is indeed correct. It's very depressing to live in a degenerate country where regressive, ignorant, artless morons like this reforming is considered one of the major events of the year. It was bad enough living through this garbage the first time.

Oasis - sometimes classic
Any and all music criticism - dud

This guy is otm:

If you never liked Oasis, or more daringly, thought they were boring, it is VITALLY important that you tell everyone. This is something that people NEED to know. Crush their joy. Everything must always and forever be about you.

— Ned Hartley (@NedHartley) August 26, 2024

is he fuck, the hatred is much more vital than anything these grim bastards have ever contributed to popular culture.

there has to be some kind of response to the military industrial media onslaught hyping these grim troglodytes (again)

oasis are a societal ill on par with southern water pumping shit into our waterways, of course we should be protesting this

Kulkarni linking them with Tommy Robinson and the reduction of the working class to boorish racist homophobic stereotypes is spot on. Of course none of that matters if you don't actually have to live here.

otm. What happened to cancel culture anyway? is it just because all the racist/homophobic comments they've made over the years are just not blatantly offensive enough.

There is no way I will listen to Pearl Jam as a substitute to Oasis. I want no subs I want this stuff to be burned from the earth.

I have friends who love Oasis and are excited about this reunion, and I'm very much not telling them that Oasis are shit and they shouldn't be excited. But I genuinely cannot stand the group and feel annoyed that I'm going to have to hear about them for the next year. So thank god at least I have this thread to moan about it. Maybe a pro-Oasis thread could be started and I will leave it alone.

funniest thing they could do is have the tour just be liam and noel, no one else

Do the Ian Brown thing where he came out and sang, if you can call it that, over backing tapes. You make much more money that way.

and only play new songs

Liam and Noel just stood behind two consoles, wearing Tron gear. Bonehead hologram.

Dublin hotel prices for Oasis gigs - 300 euros a night already.

genuine question now

why dont you start an anti thread and all ye fuck off to it?

Pretty sure that's what people said to you whenever you posted on ILM

Classic or Dud, and I'm saying dud.

xp i dont post on ilm chief tbf

pearl jam sound like shit. theres no more overrated dud vocalist in rock

You're saying in a thread about Liam Gallagher?

Liam 'my voice is shot' Gallagher.

id say in on a thread about chrissie hynde!

He used to have a great voice tbf but Eddie Vedder still better. Its just unfortunate that everyone copied them both so they weren't unique anymore.

I saw Oasis 3 times back in the mid 90s, they were great. Don't need to see them again, especially as anything after the 1st album and bsides I have no interest in.

id say in on a thread about chrissie hynde!

Nails on a blackboard voice.

anyway

wouldnt attend gigs, i tend to agree theyll be shite and while what ive heard of liam live was actually better than id have expected considering the state he was in as a live vocalist pretty much immediately after knebworth id still imagine he wont be any better than ian brown was when i paid to see that mess live a decade ago

and no real interest in anything after morning glory anyway

lest i be taken for actually supporting the effort here, like

id guess that was at the concert for manchester? he wasnt too bad then, no idea now

why dont you start an anti thread and all ye fuck off to it?
