All of this is reflects on why Noel decided to play "the hits" on his upcoming tour, instead of just his new album. What's wrong with Noel playing Noel Gallagher songs at one of his gigs? Paul McCartney plays Beatles songs (even ones that John sang) and Weller plays Jam songs. not saying there's anything wrong with it, just saying he's doing that for a reason. I mean, some people argue BDI should play all Oasis songs... i am glad they are not but honestly, i wouldn't have a problem at all if they decided to start playing them one day. You know, just like Macca does with lennon songs ? same thing, actually it'd make more sense because Liam sang most of them to begin with. None of that matters cos BDI made a decision and they have stuck with it. I just wish Noel would've done the same . |

He wrote them. There would be NO advantage to not playing them. |

It'd just be a lot tougher on him, much more of a struggle when it came to touring. But that's the beauty of it, it'd be kinda like a challenge, though im not sure Noel's into any of that at this point in his life. I'm pretty sure Liam could just as easily sing all the classics/anthems and people would turn out in huge numbers. they were Oasis songs, Liam sang them. It's like the macca/lennon thing you yourself talked about. Not trying to say they're not Noel songs, he wrote them and he can sing them all he wants, and he get the credit for that, and deservingly so. |

After around 2004 to their breakup, Oasis gigs were exciting sheerly for the symbolic status of the band and the songs in the fans' minds. Oasis gigs were by then mediocre with terrible vocals giving pain to the ear most of the time, but they had those classics that the fans have ALWAYS anticipated to hear live. It gives them satisfaction just for the fact that they played it, even when Liam's vocal prowess reached the point of actually annoying the casual listeners. From someone who never saw Oasis live after 2004 I assume? I went to see them at Wembley and they were quite simply out of this world and both Liam and Noel's voices sounded brilliant. I've also seen bands like Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, The Libertines and The Strokes live and Oasis shit all over them comfortably with only The Libertines coming anywhere near close to being as good. Oasis, even by the end of their career, were pretty great live. I saw them in 2008 and they still put on a good show. BUT, I've seen The Strokes twice since their hiatus and they took a big shit over the time I saw Oasis (which is saying a lot in my books). I've seen other shows that have been better than Oasis, but not many. |

wtf is this ridiculous notion that Oasis was no longer a good live band by the end?
Were they as great as they were in the mid to late 90's ? nope but although they had lost in some aspects, they had also gained in others.
They had a much greater back catalogue and even if Liam could no longer hit the same notes, his raspy voice added another dimension to some of the older songs, like Morning Glory for example(See V-fest 2005).
Also Noel had gotten extremely better(he was dreadful in the early days) AND Andy, Gem and Zak/Chris were much better than their predecessors.
