Shnate McDuanus Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Not a big fan. As far as britpop goes, I always preferred Blur to Oasis. The Gallagher bros. just don't do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 He's on 'Wossy' as we speak..... Personally I always thought of Oasis as having 1/10th of the Beatles' talent Unfortunately such is the extent of 'dumbing down' nowadays that that is regarded as 'quite talented'..... :blink: V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I don't know if the story got over the pond. But I loved it when Liam G got bashed at a hotel for bad mouthing some Russian Mafia. They knocked his teeth out. He finally got his reward for his big mouth. Im not a fan. They're just a Beatles tribute band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantha Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 They both seem like putzes. However, I'll admit that I like a few of their older songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff-7 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I like Noel, McCartney sure thought he was good enough to sit in a room and make some music together. Liam is an arrogant ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkolo Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I've never been a fan of their music except for maybe a few of their early songs. Unfortunately their arrogance seemed to get in their way of any long lasting success. But when it comes to the brothers Noel Gallagher always seem to be the more relatable down to earth type out of the two, mind you anyone being compared to Liam Gallagher may very well be deemed A OK. The lesser of two evils I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Don't know which is which, but I like Beady Eye since Evol turned me onto em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 That's Liam's band (Oasis sans Noel). Noel's new band is Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANNIC Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 His vocals are weak, he's exceptionally unadventurous musically, and his lyrics tend not to make any sense (and not even in a good way). I've never understood the comparison a lot of people make about Oasis and The Beatles though. Apart from Oasis releasing I Am The Walrus as a live track on an early single, I don't see much similarity between the two bands. Oasis for me, is music for people who don't really listen to music.

SG Jester Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 It's funny how media impressions stick... "Liam is the arrogant thug, Noel the more down to earth... etc." Apparently, according to people who know the brothers, it's the other way around! Liam, despite the "swagger", is supposedly quite a solid bloke. The arrogance had a lot to do with the image the band were trying to propagate... Especially in the early days. Noel, on the other hand, is by all opinions a right nasty little merchant banker! I obviously don't really "know" this, but it's telling, that when the brothers finally split after God know's how many arguments, all the rest of the band stuck with Liam! I also find it incredibly bad taste, that Noel Gallagher often and gladly put down ex colleagues and helpers in the press... The earlier band members are kids he grew up with, for god's sake!!! Not to mention how dismissive he is of other bands and musicians! Still, fair's fair... "Definitely Maybe" was a cracking debut and "..Morning Glory" had some fantastic songs on it. It all went pants after that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept well away from the Burnage boys though B) I didn't really need to ask if you were British, the use of the vernacular gives it away. I saw Oasis in 1995 ( a mate gave me a ticket ) and I walked out after about four songs and went drinking with the support band, they were called Smaller. They should've have been bigger.

DAS44 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 What the hell is a wonderwall...? Never found an Oasis song I enjoyed, and "Wonderwall" makes me want to claw at my ears. I'll stick with the Beatles, 10 times the talent you say? Why settle? Just my opinion.... I could be going against the grain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest... Was it the performance or the music that caused you to walk out? I can well imagine that the live performance may have been a bit "rough" that early in their career...

SG Jester Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 What the hell is a wonderwall...? George Harrison's first solo album. Or rather the name of the film who's soundtrack it was...
