I know the forum prefers fucking in the bushes to be the intro. I prefer Swamp Song as they did so in 1995. Amazing. But how about they walk on and start with Snakebite! How’s that for the hardcore base. The 'this is not a drill' intro into FIB was so so good Only in recent times I found that was from Close Encounters, when they're all waiting for the spaceship to land. |

Remember though, the record company is what got Lyla on the album. If Noel had his way it wouldn't have been there, as far as I can remember. Yes, Noel wanted Mucky Fingers as lead single first. Interesting, the album was finished but the record company said that it lacked big singles. So Noel put/wrote Lyla and TIOBI. Amazing Shame they didn't say the same about Dig Out Your Soul. |

Get Ian Brown on with his shit beat box and nutjob conspiracy rantings. Arm the crowd with rotten tomatoes too.

Of course there's a part of me that hopes their last ever album is a return to them just being them, akin to Everyday Life, without tacky pop producers and endless guest stars.
And a part of me that still hopes they renege on their promise to end after 12 albums, because when they put their minds to it and stop catering to the charts, they can still produce top albums and songs, I am certain of that.
That frustration will always be there, a total squandering of talents and diluting your songs for Max Martin flavoured pop.

I don't care for this new album released on Friday, the new stuff has long disinterested me for a very long time now. But the new Apple music interview is a reminder that, despite reservations on the quality of their music, they are a bunch of hardworking, honest and downright decent guys. And massive kudos to them and their principles for being one of the very very very few major acts to still make their tickets affordable. Nobody kisses ass better than Zane Lowe. Is Chris delusional when he says that their quality control over the last few albums has been extreme? There is a lot of stuff that should have never been allowed to happen on a Coldplay record. For example, the chipmunk voices on Spheres. Cringe city. Interesting that he said he knows how risky it was to have BTS on My Universe knowing the critics and older fans would crush them. And they did. Again, I just check out from discussions about their music of today. It's not for me, it's not made for me, but there's a whole bunch of younger folk there that do like it, BTS shaped bells and whistles and all. I'm not screaming 'who are you f***in trying to kid here??' like with U2. Coldplay... I get it, even if I don't like it. They still make sense as a band. |

Gotta be honest, are people hearing something I'm not on DOYS vs. SOTSOG/HC? Yep, days like today, it's actually by far my least favourite Oasis album. Two absolute belters with Shock and Falling Down but that's it for me. I know the last quarter of the album gets grief but I can't stand things like Waiting For The Rapture either. Heathen Chemistry seriously might win over it, all for the sake of saving those four excellent singles and nothing else. |

You'd assume they will play South America, given the fanbase there no? Makes more sense than North America - will they even sell out stadiums there?

Have Oasis signed a deal with Amazon for this reunion tour, possibly for future content like a documentary? The billboard in Times Square had 'Amazon Music' listed at the bottom of the sign.

No chance, there's no bigger ego in rock than Ashcroft. Even if he wanted to, not sure the others with their talents and humility would want to put up with him again. Never has such a fantastic band been so hamstrung by one mans egotistical idiocy.

I hope they play this obscure number next year. That's a good one. Better than most of the post-SOTSOG stuff  Still better than anything Gem has written! |

I'm lookin to start collecting this band on 8 track. Older rock bands like The Beatles to me at least... it's the most fun way to hear em. Already have one half of the red album on this format, apparently was a double tape. Just for clarification, what does collecting them on eight track mean? Is it individual tracks of all separate components of their songs? |

Sail On is a great song. One of Noels best in 25 years.
Kinda paraphrasing Mark Coyle's explanation of Talk Tonight, it shows that glimmer of innocence and a lost lonely soul .

"A new Oasis album won't sound as good as the old ones is a pretty poor excuse for them not to do one.” “You could say the same about the concerts - New Oasis concerts won't sound as good as the old ones". You’ve used the word sound — idk if you mean actual sound, as in sonically or production, but I’m talking strictly quality of songs. They’ve said nothing official about an album to this point. If/when they do, it will certainly have an immense level of hype and expectations, but again, I’m not sure they can produce something that would meet the level of expectations. As far as live, there’s absolutely no reason to think they won’t sound massive. The only question is Liam’s vocals and it even at his worst solo moments he was head and shoulders above the last 5 years during Oasis. “Realistically you’d be talking about 2 or 3 tracks. I could live with that over Little by Little or Cigarettes and Alcohol for the millionth time tbh” It’s been 15 years since fans have had the opportunity to see Oasis play these songs and I’d guess half of the attendees will have never seen them. I’m looking for the classic nostalgia at the gigs and I believe the majority of fans will feel the same. Give me the hits and let us bounce to the rock n roll tunes and put our arms around each other/sing our hearts out for the ballads/slower ones. Expect the hits for sure. This won't be an experimental setlist and after 16 years, I'm fine with that. That said, I hope they drop in a couple of singles that have steadily increased in popularity over the years, like Stop Crying and Little By Little, songs that were omitted from setlists on the last tour. |

Only a few weeks since the reunion. Did not expect this thread to be renamed "REUNION CONFIRMED: Or how I came to hate Linkin Park".

Why is that depressing? It’s just a fact. Oasis didn’t really see mainstream success internationally outside WTSMG/“Wonderwall”. Their time in the worldwide spotlight was brief, just a couple years. Linkin Park were bigger and for a much longer time, had more hits, sold more records, were more central to general pop culture (collaborations with Jay-Z at the height of his fame or soundtracking one of the biggest movie franchises of the 00s). And Gen Z has embraced them - their streaming numbers are huge for a 25 year old band. I can tell you in America, it’s not even remotely close. Because they're bobbins. Which is an even bigger surprise as to why they're big. They haven't released one remotely decent album judging by their album receptions. Looking at Wikipedia and all their albums have middling to poor reviews. Must be a lot of nihilistic kids out there listening to this stuff. |

And Gen Z has embraced them - their streaming numbers are huge for a 25 year old band. I can tell you in America, it’s not even remotely close. I checked out their Spotify, and inexplicably, Linkin Park have around 55 million listeners making them the 34th most popular act ever. Yet I don't know of anyone who listens to them. And, I must be very sheltered and almost ashamed to say, but I literally cannot name a song of theirs or hum a tune from them. This is not a rejection of big American bands. I swear the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day would be ten times bigger (heck, I really like Green Day). They dominated radiowaves in the UK in a way Linkin Park have never. Yet their numbers are much closer to Oasis than Linkin Park. Bizarre. |

some guys on the internet....These I hate Oasis videos are coming up fast these days Seriously, we're not taking notice of some whiny insecure middle class back bedroom casualty with a smattering of YouTube views are we?? Don't give him the attention. As stated, it's all rage bait from somebody looking for a reaction as some kind of power game because they don't get validation in their real lives. A complete waste of time. |

Generally avoiding this thread but the second time in 2/3 months somebody takes a pot shot at Trump. And still they don't think there's a gun problem. What other democratic country is it so easy to do this?
Beyond insanity.
