Oasis reunion

[Dorcus]

Please god no

They were bad enough the first time

Dreadful dirge music

[goats]

Dreadful dirge music

But very popular in the uk so will sell out over and over, on a more local level we have the ‘phonics, absolute gash but still they flock down to see them….

[Father Dougal]

First ever gig back together in cardiff then.

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.

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!

I saw them at Maine Road in 1996 - great concert, but I have zero interest in seeing them again. I can see why anyone who likes them who was too young to have seen them at the time might want to go though.

If it's good enough for the Spice girls then it's good enough for Oasis. They are doing it for the fans it's not about the money.

[J R Hartley]

OASIS! OASIS!

[delmbox]

Keep up that was reported last week.

It's 4 at Wembley and a few others including cardiff.

No it's definitely 10 shows at Wembley

[goats]

Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a uk tour, two dates here, five or 6 in London. It was a great time when definitely maybe came out, I wasn’t that into them but their live show at the Astoria just before they exploded was a great night.

Think I’ll do the lottery this week….

[Fatty Thornton]

Sludge, 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.

Comparison is the thief of joy

[NYCBlue]

I first saw them in 1994. At a bar in Philadelphia. I still think their first record is amazing. But it all went downhill from there.

[HiVis]

Because there’s a massive lack of bands

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

[HiVis]

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?

steady on now old fruit. lets not put them in the Bowie/Byrne camp just yet.

[HiVis]

Divorce costing 20 million .. if thier reunion is as good as the Knebworth concert where over 1/2 million attended your inn for a treat , especially if they kick off on stage .

I think they are up there as one the UK s best type bands . They have a very homegrown feel unlike others like U2, Stones, Zepp, Beatles who sought worldwide fame and music.

what kind of sophistry is this? The first sniff of cash and they forgot their roots and ****ed off to London.

[Citizen's Nephew]

OASIS! OASIS!

You hallucinating again?! 😜

[bobh]

weird fact:

The album cover for Be Here Now shows a car in a swimming pool.
I have thrown a paper aeroplane over that pool!

I was on one of those useless "team building events" at Stocks Country club, ; we had to write down instructions for a colleague to fold paper into an aeroplane, and then throw said aeroplane over that pool. Mine went furthest so I won a bottle of cheap plonk, which was undrinkable.

Next Tuesday at The Moon Cardiff. Are they better than Oasis? Definitely/Maybe….although that album was pretty good!

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!

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.....!

Millions of people don’t know anything. A band is not great unless they have fewer than 35 followers.

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

now this is just silly. No one is saying that Oasis haven't sold records, but quantity doesn't always mean quality. Regardless, music is subjective, one mans meat is another man's poison. As has been said, Definitely Maybe, Whats the story and Masterplan were superb pieces of music, thereafter their output was music by numbers, chewing gum for the ears on a par with Steps and Keane.

my list of bands was in response to their not being anything worth listening to today. there is plenty out there, music has never been so accessible and it is easy to find.

I'm taking you mean Damefrisor

TVAM are quality, they were playing psychfest last year, and the set was trippy as ****. The shrooms didn't help things, but it made for an altogether wonderful experience.

The Moon is a great venue in Cardiff. That gig is just £8 on the door. I quite like their stuff. Didn't realise they were from Austin.

That sh*t heavy Baroque of the late 1600s was never as good as the dope stuff of the late 1500s. F*cking youth of yesterday.
