MacDaddy Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Noel has a £20million divorce so Oasis may be reforming? Does anyone care who the rest of the band will be? Will Liam claim to have a sore throat and bunk off a few gigs, or will there be a fight a few songs in which will mean the rest of the reunion gigs are cancelled? More news tomorrow... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JottoSW1 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Surely that pair of mono-browed lunkheads aren't in need of more money. Afraid I really detest Oasis 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Can they keep a lid on it for the sake of £XXXm? Probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends entirely how much nose candy they are ploughing through. Good luck to Gem Archer et al if they are still involved in this boodang style exercise.

JottoSW1 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I knew Gem & his band mates in Heavy Stereo a bit in early 2000s. Nice people. I wonder who the lucky souls / sidementhat are in line for a 'new' Oasis gig. Oasis turned into their very own tribute band pretty much from day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

police squad Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I'm not going to see them, but if it's on the telly I'll defo be watching. They wrote and plagerised some really good tunes and I have the first 4 albums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munurmunuh Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Liam singing a long forgotten Oasis track a couple of years ago I'm hoping they play Let's All Make Believe at the reunion, that will give the beard strokers something to furrow their brows over 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumOne Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I'm not a big fan, but also I don't get why quite so much hate. Sure, they rip off the Beatles, they are arrogant, and a lot of the time the lyrics make no sense. But they do also have some very memorable songs, do a good live show, and have some rock n roll/punk attitude. And this song is great: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Respect to the Swindon Advertiser who have demanded that Oasis come to Swindon because the town inspired the name. I expect the management will be kicking themselves at such an obvious oversight!?! Swindon's finest music journalism since they briefly ran an online story saying the Motorhead gig in Swindon wasn't cancelled just because the band had lost the bass player! (yes, true story) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a bit of Oasis, I could happily have the first two albums on repeat, but have never enjoyed listening to the Beatles (I know 🙄), so what Beatles songs have been most plagiarised? Maybe I can become a Beatles listener finally. I get the basic influences and that Noel was big fan, but that's just how music works.

NancyJohnson Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Inevitably it's happening and honestly, good luck to them. The thing is, knowing when to stop. Keep it civil, do the tour, put out a live album/DVD and quit again before it gets too old. Closure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I’ll be going, and I’ll be taking my 2 teenagers - because all the negativity people seem to put on them as a band/solo artists doesn’t make an ounce of difference to me and what happened when I heard them for the first time aged 11. they were massive for me. saw them 3 times - once on their last (I think) tour. No matter what people think of them - for a lot of people, they were an era defining band. shame that guigsy/bonehead most likely won’t be involved - the word is that it’s Liam/Noel and the High Flying Birds as the rest of the band. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegs07 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) My son is very excited. Me less so. I don’t hate Oasis. I just don’t understand the UKs Beatles fixation. Pulp were an interesting band. The rest of Britpop was a massive yawn. Edited August 27 by tegs07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Didn’t like them, both as a band and as people, still don’t. Hard to believe that this reforming has made some of the front pages. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very surprised at the lack of Bonehead — unless he cba, of course — Liam's recently been quite vocal about his contribution You can hear the difference he made to Liam's band, they weren't getting the Oasis sound at all right until he played with them a bit.

Cato Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I saw them a couple of times at Glastonbury. The first time was in an afternoon slot on the NME stage just before they got massive, the next year they were headlining the Pyramid. They didn't blow me away either time, they played the songs well enough, but there wasn't a lot of energy or movement on stage and pretty much zero crowd interaction. Having said that I'll always have a bit of a soft spot for them, they were a big part of the soudtrack the 90s back when I was in my teens and 20s so I generally associate them with good memories. Though, even with that nostalia I have no interest in the reunion gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Gallagher has since said that his single biggest influence was actually Slade and I'd say you can hear a lot of more Slade in the music of Oasis than you can hear the Beatles. Of course in the 90s it was a lot cooler to claim the Beatles as your biggest influence than Slade who at that point had about as much indie street cred as Status Quo.
