I would but this forum is like some totalitarian regime. If the "old" members have a different opinion you get slaughtered and I thought the oasisinet.com forum was a joke. lol

You would what?

If you say something then people are going to "engage" with the comment.

Expect discussion. If you want a place where you can write your opinions and have no discussion...try your diary.

Honestly...what is a board for if not discussion...even if it sometimes gets heated.

I would only advise you not to start with personal insults against the regulars. It not generally done...well...only to some. And newbies being mean to much-loved long-timers generally doesn't go down well.

You'll notice we argue with eachother heatedly a lot too if you choose to stick around for a bit.

I guess...

this makes me wish Blur was still together actually doing stuff.

Arctic Monkeys.

Being a rock star in his 40's, he has no obvious rivals. But he will always have to fight for respect amongst common radio listeners. Mainstream if you will. After all, every artist is up against that to some degree or another. As long as artists continue to use music to make money, then the average listener is where they have to take their fight.

I think Noel has the music savvy and IQ to navigate those waters pretty well, but I highly doubt he will grow to Macca, E. John, or even Groban status as a solo artist. It's too hard to make that transition in our modern music scene.

So it seems. Fairly simple article, i thought.
