Didnt think it would happen but will be interesting next summer. Sounds like just london and manchester- and glastonbury.
Tickets will sell in seconds. Amazing how many teenagers love oasis. Probably because big real bands dont exist now for the youngsters (below 30 but nobody who uses this board is under 30)
(Lots of replies how bad oasis are incoming.....)
Please god no
They were bad enough the first time
Why do you think them and liam in particular are so popular with teenagers now?Originally Posted by SLUDGE FACTORY
Because there’s a massive lack of bands
That's why an average mundane band with a run of the mill guitarist who happens to be a not very good singer, can sell out the Principality Stadium. Please step forward the Foo Fighters! Thank feck I am old enough to have seen some of the truly greats at their prime!
bollocks
top bands I've seen this year:
Snapped Ankles
English Teacher
Young Fathers
October Drift
The Candys
Damefrisor (absolutely superb)
TVAM
Magic Shoppe
there's loads of quality to be found if you are prepared to get out of the musical toilet that is Cardiff
never heard of them but gave ladies hairdressers a try was like listening to Terry hall in another type of music.
Magic shoppe. Starting to see the music style you like
English Teacher , not bad
Snapped ankles Bit different
haven't tried the rest but a nice list Cheers
My 11 year old adores Oasis which I initially thought strange but remembered I listened to loads of Beatles and the Stones at that age.
Let's be fair the current music scene is insipid and whatever most feel about the eyebrow brothers the youngest is entertainment with his somewhat simple ways and views.
It's Liam who my kid likes he's non plussed about Noel.
For those who got an opinion on others listening to music they don't do, they're usually the same sort of one eyed whopper who moans about plastic Liverpool/Man United fans. I'd advocate they do half a pill and listen to Age of Consent and chill the phuck out, the miserable old waankers.
For the record 'Definitely Maybe' is a great album.
Not really fussed on the rest of their stuff.
A 4th rate Beatles wanna-be band, fronted by an arrogant average singer, and a charisma free guitarist and song-writer. I wouldn't cross the road to see them if they were playing for free in my local pub.
There we go, I couldn't let you down could I lol
Every generation always says theirs was the golden generation.
However maybe that has ended now? People from 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s maybe even 00s would argue they had it best for music in their day. However Will young people growing up now be arguing this is the golden generation in years to come? Maybe i really dont know.
But been watching reading festival which is for the teenagers isnt it. Who are the headliners and stars? Blink 182, liam gallagher and prodigy. Crazy.
I don't think even Will Young's people will argue that. I better leave right now.
Thing is, only us oldies are the only one who are correct in saying our music was the best!
Have a look on Youtube for reaction vids of today's younsters (and a little bit older) hearing 60's and 70's music for the first time - they love it!
It's probably not ok to say this but there is no doubt in my mind that 60's music was the best. It conveys the sense of excitement and optimism for the future which prevailed at the time, with the associated feel-good factor which is in complete contrast to the present day. It is impossible to explain to anyone who wasn't around in the 60's (or was too young at the time) the impact that the music had - such a contrast to the crooners of the 1950's for example!Thing is, only us oldies are the only one who are correct in saying our music was the best!

The 60s saw the rise several genres, including rock, pop, folk, soul, R&B, and jazz. This diversity allowed for a wide variety of sounds and styles and also saw a surge in musical experimentation and introduced new sounds, such as psychedelic rock, folk rock, and Motown.
Interesting that you should say that about about kids today also enjoying 60's music. We have a couple of 60's compilation CDs in our car and our teenage grandchildren enjoy listening to them and to us singing along. Well, they say they do.....!

Dave Grohl is a superb guitarist , drummer and bassist
I think the foo fighters first 4 albums were immense but not for me these days
Sludge, I beg to differ matey.
I was sat there at the recent Principality concert, and quite frankly I was bored to tears. I kept comparing them to some of the true greats that I have been fortunate enough to have seen at their prime, bands and artists like Bad Company, Thin Lizzy, Hawkwind (in their many guises), Budgie, Rainbow (with Dio), Patti Smith, The Ramones, Hanoi Rocks, The Cramps etc etc. I left before the end to wander down to Caroline Street to get some chips and curry sauce, as you do.
Oh, and before J R Hartley, explodes with impotent rage, I was on the guest of the support act Wet Leg, who I much preferred, so didn't have to pay for my ticket.
Finally, why aren't the Foo Fighters for you these days? Have your musical tastes got heavier?
thinly veiled I was on the guestlist post imo
I saw Oasis in 96 and see Noel and Liam since, although far from my favourite band their contribution to popular culture is massive.
Buzzing about a reunion. It's just nice too isn't it? I know it's probably motivated by money, but seeing two brother come together is good isn't it?
I think you might be the victim of a whoosh here but I'll answer your question - HELL yes I'd love to go to one of these gigs, gonna be amazing
steady on now old fruit. lets not put them in the Bowie/Byrne camp just yet.
Comparison is the thief of joy
Arguing about music taste is like arguing about taste of food.
However i thought foo fighters were great and wet leg were terrible.
I think I read somewhere that, since 2020, artists that could be described as a 'band' have spent 2 weeks at number 1 in the chart. One of those was a band with 2 dead members and a remastered cassette vocal....
I can't say I've ever been the greatest lover of bands and particularly heavy guitar music really grates on me. Having said that I've had fun listening to some local bands, particularly if mates of mine have been playing. I do like the idea that kids can get together, try and make some music, which will be shit for years, but gets better. Occasionally one of these bands does well. Some keep going for years. I think we lose something from our society if this doesn't happen any more. It's all too easy to knock up a crappy tune on a pc nowadays and lockdown must have had an impact.
So, yes there's a lack of good bands and I wonder if we will ever see a comeback?
As for Oasis, I don't really have an opinion on them. Let people enjoy the music they like. I don't understand the whole liking other bands or guitarists because they're supposed to be "better musicians". Sounds like a bit of snobbery to me.
Foo Fighters first few albums great , don't think they are coming out with anything new these days imo
I think you are stuck in a time zone with regard to those bands , most of whom were good but had their time in the sun
Same with Oasis , what are they going to bring to the party now ?
Wet leg are insipid indie nonsense imo
Yes, I agree with you about being stuck in a time zone with the bands I have quoted you. Hence the reason about 15 years I got into Northern Soul. Have always had a love of Motown, so it was a natural progression. Or in your opinion it might even be a regression lol. Nothing new rock wise has interested me in a long, long time.
I understand where you are coming from re Wet Leg. To me, they are the best of the 'insipid indie nonsense' bands out there though
