Nicko Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Do you reckon Noel Gallagher got it just about right? “I did drugs for 18 years and I never got that bad as to say, ‘You know what? I think the Kaiser Chiefs are brilliant.’” I saw them live when they supported Green Day and they were OK as a show, but their music kinda sucks. I think Simon Rix plays some pretty good lines but I still dont want to listed to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Never did it for me.. I groaned when someone suggested a number of theirs... At least Oasis had a couple of great songs that would stand up 20 years later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 All subjective. Don't particularly like Kaiser Chiefs but Oasis always sucked in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacey Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The" New Drummer" is he playing to a different track than the rest of the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaypup Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I was never a massive fan of their stuff, but I worked on a few of their shows and they are amongst the most energetic live acts around. Sometimes it's nice to see a band that actually work for their ticket money rather than just standing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm not a fan and don't really have an opinion on either band or their music. On the other hand Noel Gallagher should get an award for being one of the most unpleasant people to take breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Saw them a year or two back in a relatively small venue, excellent live show and a thoroughly entertaining night out. Suffered from 'cracking first album syndrome' along with likes of Killers and Franz Ferdinand who were popular around same time and who also struggled to keep up the level on subsequent releases.

[/quote] I really dont think you can compare Kaiser Chiefs with the Killers in terms of musical output. I think theres a couple of good tracks on Employment, but frankly I cant listen to the whole thing. Bear in mind that Sawdust is supposed to be a collection of B sides and its got some fantrastic stuff on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I don't really see the point in slagging off another band, one man's meat and all that, any band that's sold a few records must have some people that like their music, we supported a Kasabian tribute band at the weekend, not my cup of tea at all but some folk liked them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 There was a time when Noel (and Liam)'s comments about other bands were funny. Maybe. I certainly enjoyed some of their scuffles with Blur. But now they're irrelevant "has beens" - certainly to younger audiences - and it just comes across as being desperate for attention. It's time for Noel to hang up his guitar, buy an organic cheese farm and invite David Cameron over for tipples on New Year's Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blamelouis Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Seen Kaiser chiefs twice and both times have been very impressed. Rare to see a band these days were you know all their set. Also met the guys in Belfast and were so down to earth ,Ricky is like Noel Gallagher very funny but without the shoulder chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he sees himself as timeless as Mr Weller - unfortunately I think his best years are behind him. Shame, I quite liked Definitely Maybe.....

Beer of the Bass Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm not a huge fan of either, but I'd rate the Kaiser Chiefs much more highly than Oasis. They've just got a bit more wit about their lyrics, some decent tunes and they don't appear to take themselves overly seriously. I'm sure Oasis fans hear something in it that I'm missing, but I've never been able to associate Oasis with anything other than lowest common demoninator plodding mediocrity.

Bassassin Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I thought the Kaisers were good fun in a one-trick-pony sort of a way, Oasis on the other hand were never more than turgid, derivative, one-dimensional bores, and I found their popularity at the time quite incomprehensible. Noel's good value for money in interviews & never seems to take himself too seriously - I've always though that's because he appreciates that as a musician/writer he's a below-average chancer who just got very, very lucky. Good luck to him, really. Liam on the other hand has always seemed like a nasty, dimwitted little w****** who would've ended up in prison if he'd not been in a band. Not sure which would've been preferable. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planer Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I've never really felt the Oasis love, although they have done some good (classic?) stuff, I thought the majority of it was very samey and I can't stand Liam. Noel comes across as so much less of a twat than his brother - I bet Liam has a big pedestal in his hallway that he stands on all day, just so he can lord it over everyone. Noel was on R2 a few weeks back and to be fair, he managed to be entertaining without being nobby. Opinionated, of course, but with the bs turned off, presumably for the benefit of the Radio 2 audience. He just can't resist having a pop though, can he? Very tedious. Quite like the Kaiser Chefs though Employment is my only purchase to date. They seem like a band that can have a laugh, and I like that. Never got that from Oasis, like never.
