Fuck yeah! I'll actually have to buy this one! The only thing is that I wanted a DM era Liam All Around the World, but this is otherwise pretty much perfect IMO

Republican National Convention I just watched Mike Pence's VP speech, as I - like most - knew nothing about him. And I have to say, I like his style. I think Trump has made a good pick. And yes, I'm firmly on the Trump/Pence bandwagon. It's easy to laugh at Trump and his campaign by only seeing the caricature. There's a lot more to this movement than people realize - not saying he will win, but I'm not saying he will category lose, either. Make America Great Again. God Bless. Also, you do know one of the main reasons Pence agreed to the nomination, was because Indiana most likely wasn't going to be reelected. He is unpopular in his own state.

There is a lot more to it than Trump being a caricature. And it's all bad. Not only is he a racist, lying, hate-spewing, ego driven caricature. He also doesn't compose himself in any way presidential, is not qualified and also doesn't know anything about how actual government works. There's a reason he never gives specific ways he's going to do anything. It's because he doesn't know. He's trying to channel a voter base that is looking for people to blame for problems, rather than look for real solutions. Now I'm not particularly happy about the other options either, but Trump is not what we need. He needs to go back to being a ridiculous reality television host making up stupid reasons for firing people, while stroking his enormous ego. I enjoyed that.

Honestly, most of the music videos are pretty bad. I know the Gallaghers don't really care about them, but from a creative profession and standpoint they are so uncreative and generic. It's not that difficult to make something interesting...

Very strange episode. Shot and scored very much cinematically like the setup of a movie. But moments of it were wonderful, and R=L=J confirmed!

Ive watched about three innings of baseball the last ten years and it was the only sport I watched as a kid. Loved it till I was about 26 now couldnt name more than ten players. At least basketball has an eb and flow to the game. Baseball is just a pitcher vs a batter for 9 innings. Its not a team sport. Speaking of baseball I watched Moneyball last night. Interesting film! If you take it as only a film, its alright. However, people seem to think that's what actually happened. That movie never mentions that the A's had 3 Cy Young quality pitchers, an MVP Shortstop, an All-Star third basemen, and other quality players. That was the reason they were good. But yeah, Scott Hatterburg was totally the reason they won 20 in a row. It also implies that they were losing before that streak, when they were actually like 10 games over five hundred and in second place.

Probably Don't Look Back In Anger I'd have thought so, but the capo isn't on the 4th fret. Must have been something else

The NBA has has become almost literally unwatchable. Terrible officiating, both ways. Can't wait until college basketball is back

And on the episode itself: again, it was quite solid; the pace still being slow at this late stage continues to remind me of the first few series - which is a good thing, I think; but by 'eck, the next two need to be BELTERS. Even series 5 had 'Hardhome'... I thought that this episode might be the weakest in the whole series actually. It had some of the worst writing, and character motivations made no sense. I had been giving them leeway this whole season, thinking that some of the things that didn't make any sense were actually tricks or there was gonna be a twist, but no, everything that happened was at face value. I'm also not sure we are gonna get a satisfying ending from either the show or the books, cuz I don't think GRRM knows how to end it either. Hopefully I'm overreacting and the last two episodes are epic

I like Oasis much more than I like the Beatles. I can look at their collections of music and say this. To me, influence doesn't matter at all. I can respect it, but it doesn't influence my taste or enjoyment of music. This is my opinion, and people shouldn't be called idiots for having them. Something being better is an opinion.

All four Beatlés sang lead vocals on all-time classic songs, no other band can say that. All four Beatlés had very successful solo careers, no other band can say that. Now, Oasis did have two of the best and most successful debut and sophomore albums, but the Beatles had longevity and never really dropped off, where Oasis did.... But, Oasis are relevant....just kidding. But it is all opinion.....opinions can't be wrong, unless you're wrong, so.... God bless. I would say that the Eagles have that as well with regard to the vocals, although I don't really like either the Beatles or them....

I just hope that Alan White contributed. Although its focused up to 96, so i doubt we'd hear anything about his departure or anything...

Still dislike it. The only part that I can even listen to is the "Come on, show what you love now" part, the rest is awful imo

That new Jungle Book any good? Yes, very. The fact that literally everything in the movie is cgi but the kid and it looks at least mostly believable is a feat...

23! Uhm, he did do Don't Go Away. He did Don't Go Away at TCT at gigs with only Oasis songs before the NGHFBs album. I don't really count that in the rotation at all.

Don't know who it is they've got in to play that miserable woman from Jedi who does the 'Basil Exposition' bit before the third act on Endor, but blimey, what a masterstroke! She looks and sounds just like her! They actually had the same actress play the character in ROTS, but all the scenes got cut

In most bands' cases, the more time that passes means more of a chance of a reunion. But I can't see that happening in Oasis' case - in fact, I would suggest it's a more reciprocal relationship where the chances of an Oasis reunion decrease with each passing year.Age is a big factor in this. Oasis were always a youthful band that embodied rebellion, hope, and ultimately youth itself. It's just not credible hearing Cigarettes and Alcohol performed by the brothers approaching their 60s. Moreover, as much as I want to be in denial about it (and I do), surely Liam's vocal capacity will just continue to decrease and decline into oblivion. Time can't be on his side. Is this over-analytical drivel, and Oasis could reform regardless of the length of time, or am I on to summat here? At the end I don't really think Oasis had become a youthful band that embodied rebellion, hope, and ultimately youth itself. They became a corporation of professionals. As for the posts premise, I think it doesn't really matter--it'll either happen because they legitimately make up(unlikely as they always had a tenuous relationship), or for the money. If it's about the money, I can't see them particularly caring about credibility of message.

After going to his show last night, IMO he has become boring with the same stupid setlist every night. Also another thing that annoys me is the fact he doesn't even play (most of) his own guitar solos anymore. Lazy and boring Noel Gallagher. This annoys me as well. It's not like any of the solos are shredding or anything. And although Tim Smith is alright, I find the solos he plays are either buried in the mix or worse than the originals.

Literally the only thing I really like about the new setlist is that Fade Away is gone. Such a boring song live the way he plays it.

Not going to read through this thread because I want to avoid spoilers really, I just want to know from someone who's actually seen this, IS the film actually worth watching? I'd definitely say the Dark Knight trilogy are some of my all time favourite films. Other than that though I'm not really a veteran when it comes to Batman and I've not seen a Superman film in my entire life. I'd watch Man of Steel first(although it does have its own flaws). The movie is entertaining enough while watching. Its only once you think about the plot that things start really falling apart. Zach Snyder is an excellent visual director...

Facts: July 2009, Noel says Oasis aren't splitting up. August 2009, Oasis split up. Logic: March 2016, Noel says Liam can't sing. April 2016, Oasis reunite. Bank it. Yeah, April 1st 2016. Oasis reunite.
