Oasis - Classic or Dud?

"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.

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.

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

Maybe a pro-Oasis thread could be started and I will leave it alone.

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.

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?

No.

fair, also

I was a big fan in '94-96 snd I don't know why I didnt go see them in Cork in '96. I had no interest in seeing them later on, given that they had ceased to be good. Not worth the money or bother to see them this time around either.

Back in about 1997 my dwindling loyalty to buying Melody Maker on a weekly basis finally ebbed to a cinder after trudging through a gig report on the first show of the Oasis tour, in support of their fly-ridden elephant turd of a new album. It was in Scandinavia somewhere as I recall? Anyway the journo was all "thank you kind sirs, glad to be of service for your magnificent new offering and the cash-raking powers thereof". I realised once and for all that the weekly music press had been made completely redundant by the success of these twats and had no useful purpose now that 'alternative' music had become the mainstream.

I do like the idea of Tony Carroll trying to hold his own at a stadium gig though, shame it won't be happening.

oasis are just a kinda frustrating band because they had plenty of moments of brilliance but seemingly had no idea what made the best bits of definitely as good as they are

dreaming of a world in which noel going mad with overdubs on be here now instead produced a siamese dream

I genuinely don't think I realized how much people liked them. They always seemed meh to me musically and just incredibly cheesy in every other way. Idk. Obviously I know all the singles (and am also now angry that they're in my head) but I don't think I realized just how big they were. Maybe it's because at the time I was in the US and now I'm in the UK who knows.

The first Oasis aIbum dropped the exact same summer that the political establishment were pushing through the 1994 Criminal Justice Bill. #justsaying https://t.co/eYGzAdtFk1

Where's Robin Carmody when you need him?

Much as I hate Oasis can we avoid any mention of Eddie Vedder or Pearl Jam and shite US rawk bands in general. The situation is bad enough

Jesus Lizard were good.

Oasis? I think you mean OH-ARSE-IS

I saw Jesus Lizard in London in '95. Then got run over in Pimlico and miraculously only got a fractured tibia and minor head injuries. It was god's way of warning me that US rock music is bad as well!

Cool story bro

Hooray

Simon Price wasn't as caustic about Oasis in the early days. If Oasis killed UK rock, it was only because they got zero pushback from the music press in general

the twitter memeification of Liam as an hilarious character is just so dull. The guy is in his 50's and learned to tone down the racism/homophobia for his posting, but still an ignorant charmless cunt stuck in some ugly persona he adopted in the 90's.

and describing the then Labour leader, Ed Miliband – yes, Ed Miliband – as a “fucking communist” in 2015 and later Jeremy Corbyn in similar terms.

Oasis called Corbyn a fucking communist and Simon Price called him a fucking anti-semite ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

fucking hell, did he?

oh yeah, he considered Corbyn an antisemite and posted this more than a few times iirc

Poor old Corbz, to quote yet another Mancunian, shot by both sides.

Old Lab pensioner showing 'cool', young(er) people (usually blokes) they have nothing in their heads.

think you might have mixed him up with someone else? he was pretty consistently pro-Corbyn and the only thing I could find relating to anti-semitism was this:

Essentially...

Hodge: "Acknowledge that there's been a problem with the handling of anti-semitism complaints. ACKNOWLEDGE!"
Corbyn: "I acknowledge that, and here's what I plan to do..."
Hodge: "OH MY GOD! SO YOU ADMIT IT! I'M TAKING THE TAPE TO THE PAPERS!"

The state of her.
