I didn't know that Tom was writing lyrics... One guy is complete idiot, it's not fair to attack other members because of that.

That's ok, everybody can have their opinion about anyone but nobody would talk about those lyrics now if Tom didn't do what he done. |

Can't believe she forgave him and took him back.Nice example for their kid. I've seen some girl I knew do the exact same thing. Don't expect too much from people & stop worrying about them if they make such decisions, they have a completely different mindset. Each to their own, some fancy what's totally unacceptable for you. Oh yeah, it happens all the time. However I think it is especially sad that there's a kid involved who witnessed the whole thing. That could be a truly traumatic experience with consequences in his later life. How will they ever explain it to him? |

I just randomly started thinking about the song Shoot The Runner with those god awful lyrics "I'm the king and she's my queen, bitch". I didn't like it the first time I heard it, and it sure doesn't sound better now! I like the song, but that bit has always made me go "say what?!". |

Interesting. I always loved it and took it as a Bowie homage since it’s an extreme glam rock stomper. And there are more offending moments like the chorus of Rewired or Fast Fuse. Oh c'mon mate don't post-humously get offended by lyrics that are written years ago by a person who didn't even do the crime in question. I can understand people not being able to hear the songs the same at the moment but to try and comb through the lyrics for examples of domestic violence encouraging lyrics is a bit silly. You could do that with any other band and find lyrics far far worse than that. |

I was re-reading some old Lennon interviews and in Playboy 1980 he openly admits to hitting the women he dated and married on many occasions.
I also think back on all those 70s groupies like Lori Mattix. She dated and had sex with stars like David Bowie, Jimmy Page and Mick Jagger when she was 14-16 and they were 30-33.
If any of these events happened under today’s watchful eyes and social media these people would be torn to shreds. Not sure how Page and Jagger escaped the MeToo movement.

Queen Bitch is a Bowie tribute on the noose. I AM not offended by those, but could see how people would be.✌️ |

The history of rock music is littered with such abuse, and if we now live in a society where these things being known would get the perpetrators torn to shreds, then we're finally doing something right. |

Jimmy Page kidnapped that girl too. He’s always been a lecherous old creep. It’s very well documented that The Beatles would never have sex with underage girls. So if they knew it was wrong back then, then why didn’t Bowie, Page, Jagger, etc know better? |

To be fair things like domestic violence were a lot more common in those days in broader society, they probably would have been less likely to do that sort of thing as well in the modern day. |

That’s true, but copious amounts of prostitutes, drink and drugs isn’t on the same level as having sex with kids. |

Same actually, was going to get Velociraptor as it's my favourite album of theirs and they're probably the only band I really love who I don't have any records of. Now I think I'd feel guilty buying so soon after it happened. |

Listened to the For Crying Out Loud CD a lot on a roadtrip with my girlfriend last week. I was happy that we actually could enjoy it a lot despite the news about his crimes. Even though them singing You're In Love With A Psycho feels a bit creepy now...

I liked Kasabian's first album & their second one isn't bad but after that they went down hill for me.

They should retire the Kasabian name and comeback with a brand new name, like Beady Eye did after Oasis. It still amazes me that across the entire first Beady Eye tour they didn't play a single Oasis song.Huge balls. It was the only way the band was going to work. Once they played Oasis songs they would be seen as an Oasis tribute act which is ironic because it has 4 members of Oasis in it! Back in 2010 I said once Beady Eye played their first Oasis songs live the band would be dead within a year. Turns out I was 100% correct. I loved that they tried to do only their new material. Noel left you guys! Don't use his material to fluff up the setlist. Show some fucking pride. I'm amazed you think them playing Oasis songs had anything to do with them splitting up. Noel playing half a set of Oasis songs was the draw to his live sets and getting to play arenas on the first album cycle. HFB sold very well, but if he had balls and treated that as a new project where he'd only play songs he'd done solo then he'd have remained at 1,500 capacity venues too. There's a case for Beady Eye just carrying on as Oasis in all honesty. Liam would have maintained the level of popularity he wanted and they'd have been no arrogance in assuming everyone would instantly know Beady Eye. Let's drop this bullshit about Beady Eye needing to be seen as a new band. It's Liam Gallagher. He's the frontman of Oasis to the whole world. People want to hear him singing those songs. That's why he plays them to 50,000 people now. Starting a new band and just paying those songs is just cutting your nose off to spite your face. |

There is a huuuuuuge difference between a solo artist who wrote those Oasis songs playing them compared to a “new” band that has to play the songs written by the guy who quit. I don’t care how you dice it, they were never gonna be taken serious once they did that and it was a desperation play as the band was dissolving rapidly. I applaud them for trying to make it all on their own. Huge stones. The problem is their martial was pretty weak and all of Liam’s boasting and Noel digs didn’t help anyone. |

We can pretend theres a difference. But everyone going to see Beady Eye was going because it was Liam Gallagher. No one was there for Gem and Andy or Chris. It was basically Liam solo without his name. Commendable to do it, but outrageously stupid and naive. People want to see Liam and Noel singing Oasis songs. Nothing they do now will ever top that. Liam has it bang on now with his sets and that's why he's fulfilling his live potential in terms of sales. I get what youre saying in an ideal world but let's not beat around the bush. They're the brothers from Oasis and those songs are whats put them there and what people expect to hear when they see them. Otherwise it's back to 1500 capacity venues with everyone waiting to hear an oldie. |

Don’t form another “band” with the remaining Oasis guys. New start. The gallagher brand is so strong. |

But let's not pretend when 1 person leaves Oasis and the most recognisable person in Oasis is still fronting them tht it's ever gonna be classed as anything other than Oasis minus Noel. It's pie in the sky stuff to say it was a new band as if it was the Style Council or something. |
