Just a thought here... if Oasis were to release another album (which I fully expect) or tour again in the US (which I demand, because they never rescheduled the Indy gig after the car accident a couple years ago), do you think if Zak Starkey were to stay on as the full-time drummer it would help interest in the band over here? I'm wondering if people figure out he's Ringo's kid, they'll make a Beatles connection and pay more attention to our guys? I'm thinking Zak might be what is needed to get people's attention back on Oasis' current music from across the pond.

Small world cos' I too had tickets to see Oasis at Indy that got cancelled. Luckilly I watched the CNN Headline News streamer before I made the 90 minute drive. Yes Zak Starkey is the son of a former Beatle Yes there are many comparisons of Oasis to the Beatles, but unfortunetly I think American audiences could careless. MTV and VH1 refuse to play Oasis videos and radio stations may play Oasis latest single a few times but only in major cities. I wish that it would make an impression on American audiences but I think the Glory Days of the mid 90's of semi American success is over .. I want to be proven wrong.

I don't want them to be popular here...it's super easy to get tickets and I like the fact that I'm into a great band that not to many people know much about...but thats just me

Good observation, nowhereman. I guess I hadn't really thought about that, but you're right. Come to think of it, landing tix to the Indy concert was cake -- AAARRRGH!!! I heard about the cancellation on the radio on the way to the show!! At least I lived in Indy at the time and it wasn't much of a drive. I cried over the cancellation for about a week afterwards, then checked oasisinet daily to see if they'd ever reschedule -- oh the disappointment They must come back over! They must! They must!!!!

um... the new york city shows sold out in less than 20 minutes. there were 3 or 4 shows. all i know was they added one more which sold out around 5-6 minutes. it's rough to get tixx where i'm from.

i too agree with nowhereman and they curiously-named castlecraver. i mean, it's way more fun to like unpopular bands. i know we dont get the pleasure of hearing them on the radio, but then again, what do we get the pleasure of hearing on the radio? if oasis was on the radio regularly, do we really foresee ourselves waiting around patiently through the whatever-it-is-they-call-it to get to our enjoyable 4 minutes? go go gadget compact disc!

Curiously named? I'm flattered...
"Castle" refers to one of two things -- my favorite beer (Newcastle Brown Ale), and my favorite late-night fast food (White Castle). Unless you live in certain areas of the USA, you won't know what White Castle is, but suffice it to say its a steam-grilled hunk of heaven that makes your lower digestive system purr like a well-tuned engine.
"Craver" refers to my crave for each of these delights. White Castle's official slogan is "What you Crave," so it fits, even if for nothing more than alliteration.

ringo was a rubbish drummer and his son is rubbish drummer.
tony was rubbish too.
the drumming isnt that important for this band except for the start of supersonic (which is important) and zak is too slow.
fire the beatles son now. they wont though!
