starts out shitty, anyone have the subscription ? For the first half-hour or so, things went along pretty much as expected at Oasis' Hollywood Bowl appearance Monday night. Noel Gallagher's songs have an embattled swagger, but they are only as good as the songs he steals from. But when the music faltered, there was no show to fall back on....

I still don't get this from the music press. Kanye West's new album = genius Noel = thief
Have you heard some of Kanye's songs? No one steals more than him, just like in a lot of rap whole songs are just SAMPLES from old songs. Complete rip-offs with some raps thrown in. He doesn't even play an instrument!! Ridiculous attitude. Just a lazy opinion to have, say something original yourself hypocrite.

Fuck the music press. Everybody steals. They're just more open about it.

I would love to write an article as a critic critiquing stupid fuckin Music Critics in the good ole', yee haw, US of A. There isn't one American music magazine that can appropriately give out reviews that hold any weight whatsoever anymore[i.e. ROLLING STONE giving Mick Jagger's latest solo album & Kanye West 5 stars each]....and they can NEVER get live shows right. I've been to a U2 show in a fucking massive stadium, with shit sound and seating and they call it monumental. Bono can barely talk, let alone sing anymore. No mention of that though. Oasis plays the Hollywood Bowl, a Landmark Gig, 10 YEARS after they were apparently at the height of their US success, and all the critics can focus on is the noticeable change in Liam's voice. Gee...Really? It's been slowly changing, maturing, on every album since DM u morons. It's now seasoned and a little raspier. He doesn't sound like an archangel anymore. Big deal. He still delivers. Yet they fail to mention, nor notice, that Liam has changed his stance, gotten a vocal coach, is sober(or close to) while performing, and has lost the real vicious maniacal sneer hes had for the last, well, since birth....all to help contribute to a better live performance. Not wearing scarves, dancing on the drum set, stumbling around like Jet performance. I mean manning your instrument and focusing on playing it right. Their performance @ the bowl was similar to...oh I dont know...a fucking freight train on fire. I don't mean to be Captain Obvious but everyone around me in the Pool Circle obviously noticed. The deuchebag critics most likely came and left, before the gig finished, with preconceived ideas of what Oasis were all about...from MTV News 10 years ago, and hurredly rushed back to their cars to listen to Good Charlotte. Fuck you you stupid critics. They sell out the Hollywood Bowl, continue to write great tunes, and you take the time to write a description of the pianist, when I know damn well you're too preoccupied debating, "Is Liam the one with the Guitar or the Singer?" Get a clue!
