Should hopefully have that tape converted and on the site in the next few days. Any updates on this? There's plenty of people on here who could get the contents of the tape online without any reduction in quality with less than an hours work, what's causing the delay? ¿What could be causing a two months delay? The guy is fake or a moron.

The guy is obviously genuine if you read the book and his comments on here.

The guy is obviously genuine if you read the book and his comments on here. The guy is important to me as long as he have the demo tape and wants to put it on the internet. Otherwise, I don't care. Good for him if he was close to the band, maybe he's got some great histories to tell to their grandchildren. I want to believe that he's real, but after two months it's getting really difficult. You only need one hour to convert a tape with four songs and post it on the internet: 60 days is more than enough time. That leaves us with the following possibilities: - He's fake - He's real but his a moron - He's real but doesn't have any songs

Bigun brings connection to the forum, and has already provided us with some insight. Sure, of course one sided version of stories are bias, but it's great to hear some untold stories, true. With or without the tapes, Bigun brings a wealth of Oasis related knowledge with him to this forum. To shun him or to call him a moron is simply out of order.

It's like he will only appreciate the guy if he gives something to him. Kind of reminds me of this: Except the kid in the video doesn't know any better.

He doesn't owe me, but he's the only one who's been blabbering about the material. He wants to feel important or what? It's like Noel Gallagher suddenly register on the forum and start posting about "all the unreleased songs that he's on tape and could post if he want". Post it or shut the fuck up, man. EDIT: The guy offered me cookies, so I'll like him only when he decide to give me my cookies. The baby makes perfect sense.

I don't agree with you but I think you're right at some point. From my point of view BigUn is a normal guy like us and I think he doesn't deserve a special treatment only because he was in touch with the band members... I don't really care. I'm not going to shut up if I think he's a jerk only because he met Liam and Noel.... (not saying I think he's a jerk).

But the child overlooks everything else his mom does. He only sees the material wealth (here it's in the form of cookies) to be considered an efficient mother. This is ok, as the child doesn't know any better. With you, you overlook everything else Bigun can and does bring to this forum. You, like the child, only wants the material wealth that he can provide you with (here it's in the form of tapes) for him to be considered an efficient member. But that's where the analogy ends because you, unlike the child, should know better.

But that's where the analogy ends because you, unlike the child, should know better. Excuse me but... is it wrong that I just don't care about the guy? Is he special or what? He is just a normal person who claims to be a friend of Tony McCarroll, for god sakes, so stop defending him like if he was some kind of god. In addition, I don't even think that he's a friend of Tony, so his apportation to be "an efficient member of this comunity" is garbage. Or worse. If he's real, he's just a jerk who wants to be recognized by a couple of losers on the internet by claiming that he has some unreleased music written by someone with an actual talent, and not sharing it with us because he doesn't want to. Oh, right, he's still trying to post it... after two moths. Is he retarded? I think that you're the child in this whole situation. You're acting like a twelve year old girl who feels happy because she goes to the school with a friend of Miley Cyrus. Also, I had a couple of drinks with Noel Gallagher 20 years ago when he was a roadie for the Inspiral Carpets and went to the River Plate Stadium. He gave me a demo tape with some songs, I'll try to upload it right now.
- Track one - Track two - Track three
Familiar? You should start treating me like Bigun, a really important person in the history of rock n' rollPD: Sorry if my english is not perfect, I'm from Argentina.

With or without the tapes, Bigun brings a wealth of Oasis related knowledge with him to this forum. To shun him or to call him a moron is simply out of order. I paid attention to this thread for about a month. What wealth of knowledge has BigUn contributed to the board? So far a scan of a copy of lyrics that were copied from Noel's originals by Liam 20 years ago and a promise for 2 1/2 months of demos. Other than that he has hardly been sharing a wealth of new Oasis information...in fact he hadn't been a story-teller @ all during the bit that I was paying attention to before I got bored of the whole thing and it doesn't seem that in the past 2 months he has been sharing stories many stories. He's just quotes Tony's book and asserted that Tony is a Spartan and Noel was a bastard to him. I can't think of anything that we have learned via BigUn that we didn't know before or isn't available in the book... I'd love it if an old buddy of Oasis came on and started telling fun stories about good times and not so good times in the early days. Think that'd be awesome. Not really what we have here though. He has inferred that there is more to many stories that Tony wasn't able to put in for legal reasons...but he hasn't even shared any of those stories either despite obviously being in the know. You want it to be more than it is. He may have more information than he is sharing...but he isn't sharing it...so why should we revere him exactly?

^^^ i have to agree, i would like to believe he is who he says he is but theres nothing concrete

I don't mean the demos. And I am not saying that it isn't him. It probably is
It's just that NL4E is going on about how much he has contributed to the board with his connection to the band and the wealth of knowledge he has contributed and that we should all bow down and be grateful.
Just thought I'd point out that the man has hardly been a raconteur for us. He hasn't been sharing little known interesting stories about the band from the early days. So how exactly have we been better off for his presence here thus far?
I just don't know why it is that NL4E is so impressed by someone that isn't really sharing any of this 'information' that NL4E is going on about. He wants it to be something that it's not.

What are we waiting for? I can only assume BigUn's having second thoughts cos he wants to make some sort of profit on them. Either that or he's found out that the demos he thought were an exclusive are already available around the internet.

Either that or he's found out that the demos he thought were an exclusive are already available around the internet. There was a convenient post on some other thread by an account who's history shows that basically all of her posts refer to how great BigUn is (suspicious?) saying that she had met BigUn and told him that he shouldn't share the tapes and he should sell them for money. My guess is that he realized that he could bilk the fan base for money so that is what is going to happen instead. Honestly, I wouldn't have blamed him that much for getting money where he can if he is having a hard time financially. Most people would. He'll probably never get money this easily again with no actual effort himself. But it's not as if we demanded demos...he offered them freely and if he is reneging now...well...so much for how for all his talk of being a Spartan.

God damn! This thread is still going on? I haven't been really paying attention to it.
But I know what is going to happen: BigUn will come on here complaining about GDForver. He might call her a name, then come back with a little jab. Then he'll give a nuanced excuse as to why the demos aren't up yet. Then he'll throw a random throw away line of info. This will hold people in the forum for a bit. And then 2 weeks later GDForever or someone else will ask "where are the demos?"
And then someone will defend BigUn, (like NL4E) and the cycle will start again.

Regardless of whether you think the demos are for real or not, surely slagging off Bigun isnt the best way to encourage him to post them?

if i was bigun i would never post them demos on ere!!! This is the suspicious account I was talking about. It's a weird liitle "big-up BigUn, insult Noel" troll account. Of her 29 posts only 6 have been on any thread but this. And half of those six refer to BigUn elsewhere on the board. It's expressed no opinions other than BigUn and Tony are awesome and Noel is a twat. Never mentioned BDI or Oasis music which strikes me as a bit odd for a genuine account... Listen u lot leave ashbee alone he is 100% real I was out with him in the town bar last week and we were chatting about this forum, any way he invited me round 2 his house were he played me that demo and I told him that if he downloads it to the forum it won't be worth a penny hope he takes my advice, and the way most of u speak 2 him u don't deserve to have him on this forum, the guy is a ledge beleive me !!!!
