Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I wanted to know how people here feel about Oasis?  Oasis is easily my 2nd favorite band.  I've seen them live a few times and they fucking rock.  Anyone who has listened to their albums or read the lyrics know how talented Noel is.  Noel even said in an interview a few years ago that "Guns N' Roses is the best band I have seen live and Buckethead is god."  One of the biggest reasons I like Oasis is because they are "real".  They've been through some shit and it shows in their music. :smoking: :smoking:  

I love Oasis, they are one of the most talented groups around. I hate most British 'indy' music but Oasis are something else.

Their first 2 albums 'Definetly maybe' and 'Whats the story morning glory' are just amazing....they play like greatest hits albums all killer no filler

I own all their albums and for consistant quality maybe only GNR could beat them.

Are you sure he said that? Because I saw him once saying that he didnt believe much in GNR without Slash

MTV: Did you have time to see other shows? What is your opinion?

Noel Gallagher: I saw Guns N' Roses. I think Guns N' Roses... is one of the best shows that I've seen because it was so rare. It was very rare, but I think that's the best show I've seen on this trip to South America, the best has been Buckethead (one of the new members of the band, Beck liked him too). He's a guy so talented, a wonderful guitarist. But he had a bucket on his head. He has became now my new god.


Found this on a site, but the original piece should be somewhere on MTV's pages.

-PEACE-

Oasis are cool because they're one of the few remaining bands with true, swaggering rock 'n' roll spirit.  Although they've ripped off a lot of bands, they still always add zest to their steals (except when they're too clearly ripped off, like "Cigarettes and Alcohol").  And I personally think that the singles from Heathen Chemistry were their best since What's The Story (Morning Glory)?.  It's too bad they're not popular here in North America anymore.  "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" would be a good slow dance song at school.

definetely great band. great own songs...but they have lousy stage act.

What rock n' roll spirit?

Im a fan...


Yes.  


That arrogant, brash, arrogant, "fuck-you" attitude that is kind of missing in mainstream rock right now.  They also happen to make great music, even if some of it is "ripped-off" as Mattman said.  

Balls, basically.

Im not on the Linkin Park-hate bandwagon because I respect anyone whos successful even if I dont care for their music much, but as the worlds biggest rock act at the moment, they kind of represent much of the rock scene.  They make loud, often angry music that appeals to young people, but they have none of the nerve or attitude that a band like Oasis has.  Theres some bands that have glimpses of it, such as The Strokes, but I think its sorely missed right now.  Id love to see Oasis return to prominence in North America.

Hold on. Didn't Liam also stop touring outside the UK? I don't think standing with your hands behind your back, not moving an inch during a whole set, except to slap a tamberine (a tamberine for fuck sake!) is very rock n' roll.

To me, they're a shite indie band. But anyway, if you want some real Manchester rock n' roll, go see Dog Toffee.

I think Oasis is a very good examble of a band which is quite a lousy on stage but having still the right rock attitude. And in oasis case, they seem to have it. It's that strong that even poor stage act don't take it away.

of course it helps to give rock credibility with the bad reputation that they have..

i own every record of oasis! they're great! i hope they tour with gn'r next summer! that would be completely awesome... but liam and axl together... hmmmm... two difficult persons! :rant:

didn't liam say something about gn'r on rock in rio in 2001?

Noel managed to write a lot of good songs for the first two albums. Everything after that is extremely bland and boring though :(

Oasis is one of the best rock acts today. Specially the first three albums. Yeah, they ripped off the Beatles but at least they do constantly admit so. They are honest.

As for Liam standing behind the mic, he does so, but that is part of his stage performance, others rather sprint around until they run out fo breath and others rather put their hands back and stand still. He is a great frontman.

Noel, he is a great song writer. Funny, but in all my favorite Oasis songs Noel sings instead of Liam; Magic Pie, Don't look back in Anger, Half the world away ( a song from the Masterplan, if you guys have never never heard it, I recommend you download it now)

Also, why is it so hard for any british band to really make it big in the US? Oasis is the best band that has come from the UK in the last 10 years and is yet to explode in America. I wonder why....

Huh?

They were one of, if not the biggest band in 1996.  They were huge - "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova" were huge hits.  I would definitely say they exploded in America at that time.

Oasis has been the biggest Rock band since Guns n' Roses. I remember in 1996/1997 and even 1998, they were HUGE in europe  :o Everybody talked about them, they really drove people crazy. They were THE Rockstars. Every single went on Number 1....One of the 2 or 3  biggest band  I've ever seen in my life.
"What's the story Morning Glory" sold over 18 million copies worldwide, and something like 14 or 15 million just in Europe!  Morning Glory in Europe was as huge as Appetite in the U.S. They just kicked everybody's ass. They were the number 1. simply the Number 1.

If anyone can hold a candle to Axl as far as beligerent behavior goes, it's the Gallagher brothers...

And yeah, I like some of their music.

I was in America at the time as well. Oasis did break through but didn't explode. Wonderwall was a hit, but didn't make the band huge. Kinda like the Cramberries with Zombie in 93, the song became a hit but the band didn't make it as a whole. Oasis has never made it as big in the States as it has elsewhere.

Ive just started to get into these guys. (Whats The Story) Morining Glory? is a great album. Morning Glory and  Some Might Say are the best songs in my opinion along with Hello.

Theyre a great band.

I agree. Oasis have been one of my favorite bands for quite awhile and I cant wait for them to put out the folllow up to Heathen Chemistry when there time off is over next year.

Heh.  And I thought I was the only Guns/Oasis fan in existance.  I've been into them since they first came out.  I can't wait for the new one.

I met Gem Archer last year in Chicago when he was touring with Paul Weller.  ;D

(http://www-personal.umich.edu/~stevenjc/files/me&gem-sm.jpg)

The Masterplan is one of my alltime favorite songs, especially the version they played on MTV with Noel singing while Liam was sitting up in the balcony smoking and drinking away on a night when he was supposedly to sick to perform.

Aside from the obvious Beatles comparison, they remind me of early U2. Not musically, but in the way that their B-sides are usually better than most of the tracks on the albums. Talk Tonight and Rockin Chair are two good examples of this. IMO

I love Oasis. I've been into them for almost 10 years now. Their first two albums are two of my all time favorites. I think they have slipped some, but they are still better than most bands out there.

WalrusOct9,  that is an excellent pic of you & Gem. There are more Oasis/GNR fans out there. There are a few of us on this Oasis forum I post at.  :) Are you a Beatles fan too? I ask because of your screen name.

Oasis was the first musical band I was ever into, they are my 3rd favourite band (GnR is on n?1!!).
Songs like Wonderwall, The Hindu Times and Rock n Roll Star are fucking great!!

oasis are fucking killer. they are the one band that i go and see live time and time again(i would do with gn'r but so far its only been 4 times). Out of the 10+ times iv seen oasis only once have i felt cheated. The guitarist bonehead got hit by a vodka bottle and in axl style, liam stormed off stage followed by the band. A near riot ensued and they had only played seven songs.

They are the most rock n roll band the uk has produced in years in attitude and balls out music. Liam is also one of the coolest frontmen in music, and like axl very unpredictable in all he does. Storming off stage, being reclusive one minute and in your face the next, not shy about ranting on about whatever pisses him off in public and willing to take anyone on.(the mafia incident in germany is a great example).

Axl even namechecked oasis at the last rir shows.

I have been fortunate enough to get backstage with oasis on a few occasions, and found liam funny as fuck, if not a little abrupt with the odd fan because they are interupting his drinking time.

at least the new oasis album should be out this year for defo.

Fantastic band, Definetly Maybe and Whats the Story (Morning Glory) are two of the finest albums ever made, and its a brave man that can't find a place for them in a top 20 best ever albums list.

really?  wow... Do people give him shit about acting like that? (like Axl, I mean).  I never got into the whole Oasis thing...   Does Liam like Axl?

I think Liam is into GNR, either him or Noel deffinetly is.

The Gallagher Brothers have gained a noteriety Axl himself would be proud of, but unlike Axl they don't get the flak for their exploits, if anything i think the media rather admires them for it.

Liam (and Noel used to) has his mood changes alright....but he isn't as bad as Axl. He doesn't go that far.. but yeah Liam is a credible bad boy of Rock and Roll..That's why I like the Oasis...and of course the songs are great. What does England really have nowadays??? times have changed..I guess England stands with one strong card and that's the Oasis! all the credit for Oasis  (not to mention Radiohead)

Liam did get shit for his behavior.  Oasis was surrounded by contriversy (constant fighting, massive egos, some cancelled US dates) when they first hit it big with What's The Story Morning Glory. They got a lot of shit, particularly from Americans. I think that's one of the reasons they didn't remain popular in the US. However, Liam was never as bad as Axl and their problems were nothing compared to GNR. They have largely mellowed since then.

I don't think Liam is a fan of Guns N Roses. I have never really heard Oasis mention GNR except for around the time of RIR3, but I don't remember the quote. They seem to be largely into UK bands. I couldn't really imagine them being huge GNR fans.

I loved them when they first got big, but I don't know much about them. They are more like the Beatles than the Beatles I think. :hihi:

in terms of being as bad as axl, liam aint that far behind, if not ahead in areas. a few examples are

headbutting a fan who kept getting in his face taking pictures.

storming into an aftershow party, throwing a drink over a persistant groupie and then leaving immediatley after.

bitching with other bands, but actually having the balls to take it further than the axl/vince scenario(fights with starsailor, simply red, a host of other bands).

destroying a pool hall while on the piss and then realising he was being photographed attacked the photographer with a plank of wood.

the best though was his fight in germany. being rather drunk liam and then drummer decided to take over from the hotel house band, apparently they were not on form and started getting heckled by others in the bar. As people tried to remove them, liam found himself falling into a table of mobsters, who told him to fuck off. Liams reaction was to take them on. He was smacked in the mouth with a self standing steel ashtray, knocking out his front teeth. Undetered he got up,grabbed the ashtray and started swing at them until his security and the cops dragged him away. Not without resisatance though. Liam kicked one officer in the balls and lashed out at the others. A load of gigs were cancelled and it cost liam over 20 grand in dental repairs, nevermind the damages for hotel cost etc.

God knows how many times he has been arrested for drugs and other offences but he makes for great reading.

an idiot, but one of rock n roll quality. liam live forever.

Haha - thats funny stuff! : ok:

Oasis are a true credit to the country! I fell in love with them when I first heard Supersonic back in '94.... Jesus... 10 years! And they've been great ever since.

The media keeps them alive....! (Along with the great music, obviously)  ;D

Other band members will come and go.... *but Liam and Noel are gonna Live Forever*  ;)

--- x x x ---

Liam is definitely more rude and arrogant than Axl, he doesnt care about anything.. i think he is more wild than axl,, i mean last year he had a fight with the italian mafia for crying out loud

Oasis is a terrific band. I've been into them since 95/96 when "Wonderwall" hit it big here. Definately underrated in the states, IMO. Their albums are terrific and I can't wait for their new album this year. According to Noel, it's going to be "a proper psychedilic album".

I heard the new version of "Wonderwall" by Ryan Adams. It's a lot slower and more melodic than the orignal. I think it sounds pretty decent.

Does anyone else like or dislike this new version?

I only like their early work,like the Morning Glory album. I think it all went downhill from there. But they are one of the few current bands that I respect

Saw them when they were in their prime in 97. Great first 3 albums - many people don't give credit to " Be here Now" - the other two, not so great.

If anyone is looking to download any oasis tracks, I recommend " Half the world away", " Talk tonight" "Rocking chair" and a kick ass cover of " C'mon and Feel the Noise" : ok:

yea i am a big oasis fan. i have liked them since i 1997 after i saw the video for wonderwall. i have there music video collection on a tape. and i have the behind the music of them (the best behind the music ive ever seen actually!) and my love for there music just grows each time i listen. i have seen them live a few times and each time i was really impressed. and i like the new material they played at the glastonbury festival. and for those interested go to www.boadc.tk to download the two new songs they did live. but The Meaning of The Soul is down at this time.

I was listening to (What's The Story) Morning Glory? today and found myself newly appreciative of just how great a band Oasis were, even if they weren't the most original band out there.  One of the few real rock 'n' roll bands left.  I was wondering if anybody knows when their new album is supposed to come out.

No one knows for sure when it will be out. I think it likely won't be out until late spring or early summer at the earliest.  Noel has made an end of May cut off date for recording. It may be finished before then but I doubt it will be finished by the end of this year.

Oasis were one of the best bands of the 90's,but then they kinda ran out of inspiration. Hopefully,it will come back to them.

People always say that, but personally I thought Heathen Chemistry was a real return to form for them.  I mean, "Hindu Times" and "Little By Little" are great songs.  "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" is the band's best ballad yet (not counting Wonderwall), and "Songbird" is probably my favourite Oasis song ever.  People have to stop thinking the band's glory days are behind them and start listening to the great new songs they're putting out.

I love Oasis, some of the new stuff is really good!  :yes:

Can't wait for the new album! Should be good.

They're not the most original band ever, you're right. People credit them with starting Britpop but that was clearly the Stone Roses

Curious, i was about to start an Oasis thread when i found one already here, started today :nervous:

I have just 'upgraded' my copies and got the real things, a band like Oasis are too good to just have CD-R's

They are without doubt one of the finest bands ever, and while people knock Heathen Chemistry i love it, Oasis have been consistently brillaint

They are so much better than any other British band around - i despise Brit pop and whole 'Indy' thing but Oasis are too good to be labelled as either

The big debate though Deffinetly maybe or What's the story (Morning Glory)?

I think Heathen Chemistry is great too.... Little By Little is easily my favourite Oasis song, and there were a whole handful of other really good songs on that CD.  I still listen to it pretty often suprisingly.

Definetaly Maybe or Morning Glory??

I would have to say Morning Glory, I never got into Definetaly Maybe as much as Morning Glory.  Both are great though.

"Wonderwall" has always been my favorite song by them. There's something very beautiful about that song to me.

I think Oasis sound the same every song. I never understood exactly what a Wonderwall is either, so i never got into it. If Liam would change around the vocal melodies say maybe 2 songs per album, they would have more credability- at least in the US anyway.

Well, you know that Oasis are huge Beatles fans.  Apparently, sometime in the 60s George Harrison did the soundtrack for a movie called Wonderwall (coincidentally, one of his solo albums has a song called "Be Here Now").

But I wouldn't put too much thought into it.  Oasis lyrics aren't known for holding a whole lot of meaning: exactly what does "slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannon ball" mean anyway?

I like Oasis a lot and I think Liam and Noel are both great singers.  Even though they catch a lot of grief over their vocals i think they're excellently done.  I wasn't aware of a new album sooo...cool.

I saw em' i think around 97 or something n' they fucking sucked. I mean, they played alright but only for 1 hour n' no bloody encore at all.

that singer's the biggest cock head on the planet!!!!!
Musics good thou.

Bah Champagne Supernova is about being drunk - very very drunk, the lyric is a reference to stumbling along and lurching as you go - its genuis really!

Oasis is a great band.  My second favorite band.  All of the albums are great, but some of the b-sides that never made the albums are just as good and many times better.  Check out the Masterplan which is all b-sides and check out these b-sides not included on the Masterplan:  Take me away, Shout it out loud, Lets all make believe, Thank you for the Good times.  Theres many more.  Oasis live are also worth checking out.  It doesn't get much better then Noel performing solo with just an acoustic guitar.  Don't go Away and Slide Away live, w/ Noel on guitar and vocals are some of the best performances ever.

True, their lyrics aren't the most meaningful ever but some are superb.

oh and Izzy, what is it you don't like about 'Britpop' and who in particular do you dislike?

So fuckin' bland!

I hate the way its all produced and the sound just merges together, can't tell one damn instrument from another

Its as if the emotion in the song was chemically removed - rubbish like Coldplay. Radiohead, Snow Patrol, so boring!

I've been an Oasis diehard for about a decade now, however I sadly must agree that they have ran out of inspiration. I think Noel is totally lost as a songwriter and hasn't had the same fire and passion since they made it huge in 95-96. I don't think they have released any bad albums but I don't think the last 3 albums have lived up to fans' expectations or the band's potential.

They are having such a hard time with this new album and it's because Noel is lost. I think he realizes he hasn't lived up to his potential but doesn't know what direction he should go. He hasn't written many  songs while Liam has banged out a ton of songs. This will likely be the first album to feature hardly any Noel songs although I think his pride is desperately trying to prevent that. Personally, I rather hear an album influenced more by Liam and the other members because I have more faith in them at this point in time.

And ur eveidence of this? Or did u just make it up?

According to the band things are going great and bearing in mind its just 2 years since their last album i'm just impressed they can keep such a pace up.

Oasis's latest stuff has bene great, people just raise the bar to high.

Yea, I'll go along with that!

The older stuff is ok though, stuff like The LA's and Happy Mondays, ok, not great.

They've already had to scrap what they were recording twice. The first sessions they did with the guys that did Scorpion Rising (I can't think of their name at the moment), were scrapped then they decided to scrap another session after Glastonbury. I'll try and find the articles where I got this information.

Here are some examples of what I was talking about. I started with the most recent quotes. There are tons more going back months but you should get the idea with these.

Actually, if you're expecting an album written by Liam, according to Noel that's not going to happen this time:

Noel Gallagher is refusing to allow any of his brother Liam's songs to appear on the next Oasis album.

Earlier this summer, the group scrapped some tracks following a disappointing performance at Britain's Glastonbury Music Festival, and
now Noel is taking extra care over the disc.

He says: "Liam's written quite a lot, it's a pity they are not going to make it. Some of them are really good, but he's going to have to do a solo tour because I'm not doing a triple album."

I got this from Live4ever.us.

I'm probably one of the few here that don't think Noel has lost it at all.  Of course the last albums haven't been up to par with Definitely Maybe, Whats the story... and even Be here Now.  But look at the last two albums.  They have many great songs on them.  Go Let it Out, Gas Panic, Stop Crying your heart out, Little by little, Hindu Times, You've got the heart of a star (b-side) and Thank you for the good times.  Noel wrote all those songs.  Liams shining moment is probably Songbird, which is a great song, but lets face it, the song writing should be left up to Noel.  I think we should be expecting one of their best albums next year.  Or we should be hoping for it anyway. :smoking: :smoking:

Oasis...what a great band.

There are so many things to say about this band. I'll just point out they brought the excitement back to mainstream rock in the mid 90's. That's unquestionable.

Musically, I would never understand how their first album was that good when musicians tend to get better with time, not the other way around. Their last two albums not only lack the passion and desire ( as some poster already pointed out) but quality as well. Quality in the melodies, riffs, how the instruments are put together, vocals....when I listen to Defintiely Maybe I find hard to believe it was written in two weeks. Every element just falls into place. It's such a great album.

Heathen Chemistry dissapointed me. It's not as bad as Standing on the shoulder of Giants but not as good as I anticipated. They tried so hard to sound different from the other records, they lost their indentity.  Not only the Beatles sound is present, but the Stone Roses and the Stooges as well. It just doesn't have the flow the other records have. It's an uncomfortable listen. See, the more songs Liam gets involved in as a composer, the worse Oasis album will result. Songbird is just dead awful ( not as bad as Little James though) so is Born on a different cloud

I just hope Noel takes back the writing duties soon. I can't see Liam playing the guitar either. He is a great frontman, but please no guitar.

My fav Oasis change from day to day, but right now Be here Now "Magic Pie" is played the most in my MP3.

Other B-sides & unreleased tracks worth listening are " Rocking Chair"," Half the World Away", "Talk Tonight" and a cover of "C'mon and Feel the Noise"

Thanx God...

Their first two albums were 'fuckin crackin'. Then they tailed off abit, and since then they have had a few good songs, but nothing superb as before.

How can you say "Songbird" is a bad song?!  :rant:

That's personally my favourite Oasis song.  It's so simple, yet so beautiful.  Just a nice little tune about nothing in particular, but it's very happy and Beatles-esque.  I love the melody.  If Liam is still writing stuff of that calibre, they should definitely let him have more songwriting input on the next album.

I knew you were gonna jump on me  :hihi:

Songbird is so simple. And the video is so absurd. Listen to "Magic Pie"and you'll change your mind  :yes:

That was Noel's sense of humor. Liam's songs will make the album but how many is up in the air. In fact, in one of my quotes it said The Meaning of Soul is making the album which is a Liam tune.  In the summer Noel was saying the album was predominantly written by Liam. Like I said, I think Noel's pride won't let that happen but it's possible.

I agree with you that Noel has written some good tunes, but I don't think he's written many great tunes recently. He has written a lot of average stuff. Another problem is that he isn't a good judge on what should make the studio album and what should be b-sides.  There are quite a few b-sides that deserved to make HC over some of the less than stellar songs on there. Songs like Thank You For the Good Times, You've Got The Heart of a Star, and Shout It Out Loud could have made it over songs like She is Love, A Quick Peep, and All in the Mind.

Oasis were only great around the years between their first two albums.  If you like Oasis definately get Masterplan as even tho it's b-sides, it's better than their last 3 proper albums.

I was into Be Here Now and Standing...  breifly, but they're very average.  A few good songs definately, but mostly poor/average.  Heathen Chemistry is completely middle of the road.  Songbird is not a great song, and apparently Noel had to work on it to make it like it is.  Oasis can't go back to their original sound/songs, but they need to make something a lot better than Heathen.  I've been thinking for a while that the need to get a band behind them that's actually technically gifted and can write a bit of decent music.  Noel must be running out of riffs to steal!

I hope they don't stick with The Thrills' producer - they'll end up sounding about as inspiring as dishwater!

Be here now is fast becoming my fav Oaiss album - some absolutely stunning tracks here.

I agree.  I would probably say that overall, BE HERE NOW is my favorite Oasis album.  Right from the start its pretty damn good.  D' you Know what I mean, Magic Pie, Stand by Me, Fade in out, Don't go Away, All around the World, My big mouth... all amazing.  I actually think my favorite song on the album is I hope I think I know.  Maybe not the best on the album, but my favorite none the less.

Definetly Maybe is a fucking fantastic album.  One of the best of all time, Morning Glory was just too... overblown for me.  Stuff like Rock N' Roll star and Live Forever are timeless.

I was just going to say how this album gets on my nerves.  While i like all of the songs, they're just too long for me.  Every song on this album just seems to drag on and gets repetitive.

Oasis announced some UK tour dates for next summer.

Glasgow Hampden Park (June 29)
Manchester City of Manchester Stadium (July 2)
Milton Keynes National Bowl (9)

They go on sale Nov 6.

Oasis back on top - 250 000 tix sold -- Sunday, November 07, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oasis have been regained their crown as the pre-eminent rock band in Britain after they sold an estimated 250,000 tickets this morning for live shows next summer.

The band have now added a third date at the City Of Manchester Stadium after shows on July 2 and 3 sold out by 11.30am. They will now also play their hometown on June 30.

A spokesperson for the band reported these shows to be amongst the fastest selling ever in the band?s history. "It?s been an incredible morning," she said. "Oasis currency remains sky-high.

The band have also sold out two shows at Milton Keynes Bowl (July 9, 10) and Glasgow?s Hampden Park (June 29). Massive queues have been reported in Glasgow where fans had an opportunity to pick up tickets the old fashioned way rather than online or by phone.

It is unclear if further dates will be added.

FRONT ROW TICKETS HERE !


+++

OASIS have scored a concert hat-trick at the home of their heroes Manchester City after phenomenal demand from fans for tickets.

The rock giants have announced a third home-town concert date at the City of Manchester Stadium after shows on July 2 and 3 next year sold out within two and a half hours on Saturday. They will now also play at the stadium on June 30.

Fans queued at ticket outlets across Britain and jammed telephone hotlines and internet sites to get tickets.

Eight years ago the band played two home-coming shows at the club's Maine Road ground.

The band also sold out shows next summer at Glasgow's Hampden Park and Milton Keynes Bowl - meaning a quarter of a million tickets were sold in just 150 minutes. A second date at Milton Keynes has also been added.

Such huge demand for tickets has confirmed the enduring popularity of the band fronted by Burnage-born Liam and Noel Gallagher.

The band have not released any new material in more than two years and their last Manchester shows were back in the summer of 2002 at Old Trafford cricket ground.

Oasis intend to release a new album and a series of singles next year. The concerts will include a number of star guests.

Oasis play City Of Manchester Stadium on June 30, July 2 and July 3. Tickets cost ?32.50 plus booking fee.

heres a little secret oasis have sold 7+ million albums in the states.

whos a batter british band than oasis in the US? coldplay? robbie williams? the darkness? :hihi: please.

Oasis is a fantastic band. the biggest success I've ever seen with Guns n' Roses, nirvana and U2 in Rock music over these last 15 years. They wrote wonderfull songs and the MTV Unplugged 1996 is a classic for me.
250.000 tickets sold for their own U.K summer Stadiums tour...it just corresponds to the status of this band. a living legend band.

I really like Oasis I prefer there early stuff I love dont look back in anger

what can we expect from the new oasis album?!?!?!

maybe some great tunes and a phenmenal success, especially in the U.K.

I think theyve gotten stale, like at Glatsonberry this year they sucked.

Oasis's ability to craft a fantastic rock anthem and their sheer swagger have attracted myself and a lot of others to them. But a few things prevent me from becoming a true devotee, namely:

- The plagiarism. Sure, a lot of bands wear their influences on their sleeves - you could even hear that with G n' R, but the Brothers Gallagher's aping of their heroes is sometimes so bare faced that it is embarrasing. We all know about Cigarettes and Alcohol ('Get it on'), Don't look back in Anger (Chorus pinched from 'All the Young Dudes, Piao pinched from 'Imagine') and perhaps in the early days their sheer attitude could carry it off. But there's this one song from the last album 'Born on a Different Cloud' which mimcs the sound of Lennon's solo work almost wholly (right down to the reverb on the vocals). Admittedly, Oasis have always stolen from good sources, but after over a decade together, don't you think its about time they developed an original sound more fully and stopped with the ripping off?

- The Dodgy Lyrics. To me, a lot of Noel's Lyrics seem pretty nonsensical. (This can of course, be fun, like 'Supersonic' or 'She's Electric'), and that bothers me. As does the fact that a lot of his lyrics come across as just lazy(much of the 'Be Here Now' album).

- Their 'Rock n' Roll' Antics. This may sound strange after praising their 'attitude', but a their off stage behaviour and personas makes them come off as spoilt and petulant (especially Liam, the uber-oaf. I base this impression, by the way, from press reports, and not from any personal experience with any of them. I honestly reckon you could have a good,deep chat with Noel, for example). 

I've got the first three albums, and I like them for the reasons I outlined in the first paragraph. But by 'Be Here Now' their spark was beginning to wane - possibly as their heady celebrity lifestyle was beginning to take its toll. (A lot of that album sounds like a messy stream of nonsense from Noel's coke addled mind. For example, the way every song is needlessly over-extended and drowned in layer upon layer of sound effects, orchetra's, backwards looped bits and strange muttering noises). There's been a lot of discussion on this board as to what 'overproduction' is, with regard to 'Chinese Democracy'. 'Be Here Now', IMO, is the eptiome of over-production - i.e. covering the songs with so many effects and noises that the emotional content gets buried.

I'm with Jimmer-Jammer on recent Oasis - their act has gone a little stale now. But they are still capable of the occasional gem, such as 'Gas Panic' or 'Hindu Times'.

even though i disagree, superb constructive criticism.

Oasis finished recording their new album in village studios in LA!!!,

Nine inch nails also asked GEM from oasis to record for their new album!

Cool!All Oasis albums rock!!!















Baby Slash//

So we'll have a video soon??

Noel Gallagher blagged it in to the Comedy Awards with Ricky. He told us Oasis have finally completed their next album:

"It's finished, should I give a release date? No, I shouldn't, it's some time in May and there will be a single in March."

"The only thing I was worried about was whether in the end we'd know how good it was because we'd recorded it three times and I think it's great."

"We shot the cover today, and I think it's great because I designed it."

oasis fuckin rocks

Ah this news comes out as my favorite Oasis site is down for 72 hours.  :hihi: Thanks for the news!

whats your name on the soapbox? :)

Darling Nikki. What is your name there?

it was axl,

but i removed it cuz my whole family starting searching through all my posts and finding some mad shit

Haha you mean your porn?  :P

Noel Gallagher says the new Oasis album is the band's best since their early work.

The as-yet-untitled LP features 12 songs written by Noel, brother Liam, guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell.

Noel said: "The finished album is my favourite one of the last four. Because we're all contributing to the songwriting there's a different feel to it.

"In fact the only songs that sound like Oasis are Andy Bell's funnily enough."

The band are currently approving the artwork for the release, which according to Noel "looks quite bleak and northern", but are yet to decide on the first single to be lifted from the LP.

"There was an obvious first single but I was singing it," Noel explained. "After 12 years of Oasis, Liam thought that might sound a bit odd, people might think he'd left the band. He threw his cans out the pram."

But he told Radio 1: "The most interesting thing will be when you hear Liam's songs. They are very, very good. A song called 'Guess God Thinks I'm Able'. The end 30 seconds will blow you away. It's great."

The album is due out on in Europe on May 16th, followed by a worldwide release a day later.

Reading the words official - album - release in the same sentence gave me this awesome never-felt-before feeling....too bad ain't GNR.

Nevertheless, I like Oasis too. Funny how Noel's been saying the same shit prior to any album since "Be here now". I hope is better than their last two efforts though...

Lol - ur right, every album they clain is their best ever - i suppose they ain't likely to say it doesn't stand up well to their earlier stuff.

Can't wait for this - unlike some Oasis fans i've loved all their albums, some are clearly better than others but all are just great.

I think the last album was the first one that had songs written by Liam right?  Anyways, I really liked the last CD, and if his songwriting has been improving, this should be a good CD too.

wasn't "heathen chemistry"? that's a brillant album. I hope they will make a huge tour for their new album and I heard the start is phenomenal: All their U.K.stadium gigs for next summer are already sold-out. 250.000 tickets were sold within few days in England. I hope they will make an entire European stadium Tour. However, in the US, they are not very popular. America never really got into Oasis whereas in Europe that band is one of the the biggest ever.

cant wait.. Oasis sold 330 thousand tickets in one morning for tours in the uk to promote this album, so obviously it will be great.

The album is like nothing they have ever done before...

Well as u've heard it i won't dare argue :hihi:

Sweet, it will be released right in time for my birthday. I can't wait! I hear this album is a bit more experimental. I can't wait to hear Liam's songs. I really liked his songs on Heathen Chemistry.

no, but noel said it will surprise everyone, it is meant to be very bouyant and experimental.

Does anyone care anymore... :-\

I mean, Oasis need to do a great album this time.. or else...

Their first album was excellent. The second one was good and the rest have been disappointing IMO. I seriously doubt this album will be any good. I am more than willing to be proved wrong though. I hope it's good.

I dont think there is any band whos first 3 albums are as good as oasis, People hated be here now, because it was arrogant and in your face, but isnt that what oasis are about?  Standing on the shoulder of giants is a work of art which is shockingly underrated IMO, Heathen Chemistry let me down, whilst the songs are individualy good, it just doesnt work as an album, and what was noel thinking when he used Idlers Dream as a b-side? and used "she is love" on the album instead? I love all their work though, the masterplan is a great B-side album, as oasis b-sides are better than most bands best work, Definitely Maybe is their golden album, AFD and Definitely maybe are both similar albums in an outstanding way, The next oasis album may well be their last, and to the person who said  that it probably wont be good, well all i can say is that it probably WILL be good, as it they actually give a fuck this time round, it has taken 8 months to record, has been scrapped 4 times and re-recorded, so yeh like with every oasis album release they will rule the world again for much of 2005 8)

Definitely Maybe
Whats the story morning glory?
Be Here Now
The masterplan
Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants
Heathen Chemistry

I disagree with you about Be Here Now. I think your analysis of Heathen Chemistry fits Be Here Now. I think the songs are good, but they they don't work as well as an album. I don't think people hated it because it's arrogant, but because it fell short of expectations. Expectations were really high for it. It was supposed to exceed Definitely Maybe and What's The Story but it fell much short of that. It's a good album but it could have been so much better if the band was focused.

Be Here Now is towering.. and elegantly monstrous which IMO suited oasis perfectly at the time, It will always be "their big overblown album" which all great bands need.

I love it !!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/chaotix/uk_be_here_now_lg.jpg)
a noisy work of art in my opinion! whats your favourite song from this album!

01. D You Know What I Mean?
02. My Big Mouth
03. Magic Pie
04. Stand By Me
05. I Hope, I Think, I Know
06. The Girl In The Dirty Shirt
07. Fade In-Out
08. Don t Go Away
09. Be Here Now
10. All Around The World
11. It s Getting Better (Man!!)
12. All Around The World(Reprise)

That's a toughie - awesome album, certainly not the third rate offering people wish to present it as - might even be their best album.

I'd say 'My big mouth' was the best song here

There's definately a lot of great songs on that album as there are with all oasis albums, but my top three for Be Here Now would have to be "I hope, I think, I know" because it's so up-beat and "Stand By Me" and "Don't Go Away" because they're two beautiful ballads.? Damn, I definately can't wait to hear the new Oasis album and that album we've been waiting a couple years for by some band from hollywood :beer:.

Yeah, an amazing album.

" Be here Now" is that good I have a silly story thought I'd share...about 6 or 7 years ago, me and a good friend of mine would listen the entire album and on each and every track, we would to say...hey man, "this is the best song of all time....". Each and every song was the best song of all time. We were obviously stoned of our ass, but we did appreciate music then.

College days boys, enjoy'em while they last!!!


Anyway, on topic the best song is "Magic Pie".

for me
1. All around the world
2. The Girl in the dirty shirt
3. My big mouth
4. I hope, I think, I know
5. Stand by me

 i've been listenin to this album a lot lately. it's a great album, close to a masterpiece such as every Oasis oferring in my mind. I think as the songwriting craft is conceirned they managed to upgrade from album to album.

if ever there was a cool song....

D'you know what I mean.... possibly the coolest song of all time especially the video.

'D'yer know what I mean' and 'All around the world' are good 'big' anthem songs, even if they suffer from being too 'big' for their own good. The title track has a catchy hook too. Other than that, I don't really rate this album.

why does everyone think be here now is too big..? thats what oasis were at the time.. a fully overblown rock n roll outfit,   and it was fucking great if you understood it.

my big mouth
fade in fade out

Because all of the songs go on for at least a couple of minutes too long, and are buried in lots of multitracking and sound effects which add absolutely nothing of value. More studio disciplineand a more stripped down approach (e.g. like on the B-Side 'Going Nowhere') would have done that album a lot of good. Their downfall at that point was that thier collective ego - bloated by their fame and all of its trappings (particularly the Coke) - had become far too big.

Stand By Me

My Big Mouth and/or D'you Know What I mean.

All Around The World.
But it could be about 5/6 mins. It doesnt need to be as long as it is.

I don't like "D You Know What I Mean?". That song is also too long. But there you are.

Great album...

Theres a few really great songs on there, but Ill say "I Hope, I Think, I Know," partly because its generally underrated (even by Noel himself).

"D'Ya Know What I Mean" and "All Around The World" are my other favorites.

be here now is marilyn mansons favourite album of all time LOL.

I'd be intrested to see that in quote form....

 on the 22nd of June with support from JET.

http://www.oasisinet.com/site.php?site=news&idx=527

Oasis is going to make a mind-blowing return. Their UK stadiums Tour next summer is already sold-out for a long time. It's going to be the biggest band in the world for the next couple of years (once again). Only a GN'R reunion with Slash and Duff could be bigger. Even if "chinese democracy" is great, the new-Gn'R is nowhere near of Oasis popularity.

Oasis is the greatest and biggest Rock band in the world since the 87-93 GN'R erea.

mh....  I don`t like Oasis anyway and imo a band doesn`t need to be big to be great ...

Don't know if this was posted or not...if so, just lock...

Jet is coming to Philly...along with Oasis

British rock group Oasis has confirmed its first U.S. shows in three years, which will come in support of its as-yet-untitled new studio album.

   

The band will play
Toronto (June 17),
Detroit (June 18),
Chicago (June 20),
New York (June 22) and
 ;DPhiladelphia (June 25), with support from Australian rock outfit Jet.
Tickets for all shows go on sale Feb. 12 via Ticketmaster.


The dates will be sandwiched between a run of European and U.K. performances, including previously announced visits to the German Hurricane and Southside festivals.


The new album, a follow-up to 2002's "Heathen Chemistry," is due May 16 internationally via Epic and late May or early June in North America.


According to guitarist Noel Gallagher (news), it will feature 12 songs written by all four current members -- himself, singer Liam Gallagher (news), bassist Andy Bell and guitarist Gem Archer. Among the tracks slated for inclusion are "The Importance of Being Idle," "Guess God Thinks I'm Able" and "Part of the Queue."


Reuters/Billboard

Let's hope it's better than Heathen Chemistry.  I think Noel's run out of decent tunes and is getting desperate by asking Liam to write songs.  This could be Oasis' last album, or maybe they'll surprise me and release something that lives up to their first 2 at last.  The real follow up to WTSMG? has been almost as long in the making as Chinese Democracy!

As for Jet, they're just shite.

You thing so...the only reason I'm going is for JET...that Liam G. is a real turn off...his brother's okay...at least he knows when to shut up and play...and he's got some great tone coming off his guitar...but I could leave after the opening act and go home a happy camper to tell ya the truth ;D

It's a shame Oasis had to pick Jet to open for them, but I guess it will help sell tickets here in America.  Jet is a really bad live band, but it doesn't really matter because Oasis will be playing right after.  Fuck it.  Oasis is coming to America!

Jet?Fucking bastards, seems Oasis couldnt get a decent band.I mean come one, if they want to tour with  a garage rock band play with the strokes or the vines, but not Jet, for christ sake!










Baby Slash//

There's not a problem here boys and girls...you can show up late, and I'll show up early...quit whining :crying:

OASIS SELL OUT GARDEN PARTY

www.nme.com


OASIS sold out their upcoming show at NEW YORK?s MADISON SQUARE GARDEN in just over an hour when tickets went on sale on Saturday (February 12).

The band will play the legendary venue on June 22 as part of their US tour, coinciding with the group?s new album ? due out in May.

Support for the show comes from Jet.

With tickets for the other dates on the jaunt selling fast, Oasis also sold out their show at Philadelphia?s Festival Pier at Penn?s Landing (June 25) over the weekend.

The band?s North American tour kicks off at Toronto?s Molson Amphitheater on June 17 before kicking off their UK tour on June 29 at Glasgow?s Hampden Park.

Great news...

Hopefully well see a full-fledged Oasis comeback.  :beer:

They sold out their Philly gig, too. I hope this is their comeback but I hear some radio stations are promoting this as a Jet gig even though Oasis is the headliner.

Looks like stories of Oasis' 'failure to crack America' have been grossly exaggerated.

they have sold 7 milllion albums in american alone.... LOL

not many bands in the last 10 years can say that.

It is wrong to say they failed to crack America. They were able to crack America and got a lot of attention from the end of 95 to about early-mid 98. The problem was they couldn't sustain their success in America.

Actually, the RIAA has Oasis at 6 million...I thought they sold a lot more.

Yeah, I used to think they sold a lot more mainly because of WTSMG. I was always led to believe it sold between 8-12 million in the US but I believe it was only 4 million. 7 million like grendood said could be right. I believe WTSMG, DM, and BHN did around 6 million combined. So it's not hard to believe that The Masterplan, SOTSOG, Familiar to Millions, and Heathen Chemistry could combine to do at least a million.

I heard some songs and some of them sound great. Some of them sound like old good Rock fashion songs with electro-accoustic guitars and harmonica like if you were in the far west. It's gonna be huge.
Oasis is in form, the legendary 50 million albums sold UK band is back.? 8)

Why have you changed your nickname nesquick?

I don't know about his album though. I've been expecting a good album since " be here now" and all we've gotten have been mediocre recordings since. When " standing..." & " Heathen..." came out, those albums were supposed to be their huge comeback, and I must say, I felt dissapointed.  Hopefully things will change with this one. I don't particulary like their first single though.

I'm hopeful they go back to what made them great - while Heathen Chemistry was good, Standing on the shoulders of Giants is laughably bad.

The new single is very average but the band did say it wasn't even part of the original album, and they were forced to add a 'radio friendly' track because the label hated the album....not sure that bodes to well for us then....

label hated the album..? hmm..doesn't really sound promising.

I heard the first single 'lyla' and it brought my mind the songs 'the hindu times' and 'force of nature' from heathen chemistry album. 'lyla' is a good song but not stunning or anything special, perhaps a little bit too catchy that rolls on forward with a slow speed. Like when you hear the first 20 seconds you know how it's going to end.

But still I'd give about 8 1/2 of ten points for the new single 'lyla'  :beer: 

Standing on the shoulder of giants is one of their best albums, i love it.  fucking in the bushes, go let it out, who feels love, sunday morning call, gas panic, roll it over.... all fantastic brilliant songs.


Dont Believe The Truth... if anyone wants to hear it i can send it to them over msn. Its a very strange album. Every track is different.

is there a link to this leak or are you talking proper illegal link?

Whats the new albums name also please.

Hindu Times was a good song I thought, Lyla may be radio friendly but it's not very good

 :smoking: Izzy? :smoking:

I don't know why everyone always disses Heathen Chemistry, because I think it's their best album ever.  Yes, even better than the first two (Definitely Maybe has a lot of filler, IMO).  HC is absolutely packed with great songs; I mean, "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" was their best ballad yet.

The new songs haven't impressed me a whole lot yet.  Whereas the songs from HC leapt out at me right off the bat, only "Keep Your Dream Alive" of the new songs has really gotten my attention.  That's a great song.  The rest are just sort of mediocre.  "Lyla" was not that great a song, nowhere near as good as the singles from HC.  Anyway, I'm hoping that the songs will grow on me.  Is it just me, or is the drumming really lousy on some of these songs?  I mean, whoever it is, they have this monotonous pounding style that really annoys me.  Whatever happened to Alan White?

I'm going to see Oasis live in Toronto June 17th.  It's gonna rock!  :beer:

Sacked :P

As for the person that said:



I ain't gonna say ur wrong - i will just say 6 billion people disagree :)

ZAK STARKEY IS THE NEW DRUMMER. Son of ringo star, and drummer of The Who.


DBTT is definitley a strange masterpeice.

Is anyone gettin Oasis' new album? What u think to 1st single. I'm about to preorder it! Been proper gettin back into oasis lately and cant wait 4 the album and the tour, I'm seeing them in Newcastle on July 12th. Anyone else.

All i can say is HURRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
I'm defin8ly buyin Dont Believe the Truth. : ok:
I think Lyla is good, cant replace Wonderwall, Live 4ever, or Dont look Back in Anger though!
I couldnt go to their Dublin show, my brother is going. :crying:

(P.S- weirdly enuff, i'm wearing an Oasis t-shirt as i write this!!) :-\

(http://blog.zebigweb.com/oasis_pape.jpg)
 :hihi:

There song "Lyla" isn't anything new, and no I am not going to buy their album

Yes I'm buying  the new album.

And if they come any were near me I'll go see them in concert.

OASIS have been crowned the most successful act of the last decade in the UK.

Following the success of ?Lyla?, which topped the charts yesterday, the Book of British Hit Singles & Albums have announced the band have beaten the likes of Robbie Williams, Madonna, Britney Spears, Eminem and U2 to the accolade.

The band have 766 weeks on the Official UK singles and albums charts.

The group release their sixth album, ?Don?t Believe The Truth? on May 30.


CANT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM : ok:

I'm apprehensive - Lyla isn't great (though its not bad)

The album's good.  Really good.


They think they're The Beatles again.

Pray tell - how have u heard it?

yes, pray tell.

I've just seen their gig at Olympia (Paris). Great show. Great musicians. Great band.
Fuck, I wanted to go onstage with Liam, next time maybe... surprinsingly Liam didn't impress me in term of stage presence. I can do better. However Noel is really CLASS. : ok:

Who dubbed them this?  Themselves?

no you idiot.

They think they're The Beatles again.

Yay. :hihi:
Cant wait 4 the album.
And it's nice to see Liam still has his old stage stance again. :rofl:

Legends!!
The album should be great!

They are more like the Beatles, than the Beatles!!

I would like to know... if they are as successful in USA as they are in England... :)
do you know it?

I wish I could say yes ,but nope they aren't.

OASIS SHOW: Video of "don't look back in anger" yesterday in Paris (from the audience) http://salongascogne.free.fr/OasisOlympia/17-dontlookbackinanger.wmv

Album is out today... im on my way to get it now, cant wait.

have you bought it? heard it? what do you think?

I?m not a fan of these guys, only own two albums and I?m not tempted to own more. I?ve only heard Lyla and it?s ok.....sounds a bit like Sreet Fighting Man by the Stones.

I already made a thread about this!

But anyway, I got mine on Saturday having preordered it, its ok. n i'm off to see em in newcastle in july

and what two albums are those? they are one of the greatest bands of all time. All their albums fucking rock


Definitely Maybe
Whats the Story Morning glory?
Be Here Now
The Masterplan
Standing On The Shoulder of Giants
Heathen Chemistry
Dont Believe The Truth

Listening to it now

Hmmm

The drummer/percussionist they got in kinda over does it - sometimes less is more, its a bit OTT

Noel Gallagher can write a great tune - but please mate - no more singing. On a couple of songs its a refreshing break, but he has (over the last few albums) featured far too much - Liam is a vastly superior vocalist, one of the world's best, ever - leave it to the pros

I'll keep listening to this - but this isn't a patch on their other albums (though its better than the dire SOTSOG) - i'd happily take Heathen Chemistry over this

I hope it gets better on repeated listenings

im pretty sure you will be eating your words in a few weeks.. this album grows so much... The Importance of Being Idle is one of noels finest moments.

I saw them in concert last week in Paris. Great show. Great sound. Liam voice is AMAZING Live. He sounded barely studio :o
Noel was in a bad mood but he played very well. With Oasis, all is in th music, in the melodies. They're not the most spectacular band on stage but their music speak for itself. It's SOOOO wonderfull. The audience was great, no stupid metal heads, just good people. It was a Rock show with Rock lovers.
That band is classic. 8)

I had a burnt copy for a few days now and them album grows on you .

It's not their best, but it is pretty fuckin good.


My favorite song from at the moment is "Keep the Dream Alive"

every song is brilliant.. it took me about 4 weeks to realise this.

TURN UP THE SUN - amazing and hypnotic great rocker... 8/10

MUCKY FINGERS - a real fan splitter... fucking genius IMO 9/10

LYLA - Its just Rock N Roll simple as.... 8/10

LOVE LIKE A BOMB - Amazing, brilliant, beautiful, lovely 9/10

THE IMPORTANCE  OF BEING IDLE - One of Noels finest moments 9/10

THE MEANING OF SOUL - Liam Gallagher punching you in the face, 7/10

GUESS GOD THINKS IM ABEL - Possibly the best song liam has written so far, elegantly mindblowing 8/10

PART OF THE QUEUE - still not to keen on this...its very different for oasis still good though. 6.5/10

KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE -  uplifting anthem, could be brilliant live. good chorus 7/10

A BELL WILL RING - raw, psychedelic rocker, great drums 8/10

LET THERE BE LOVE - beautiful 10/10

Just heard it today.
It's really good.
It'll never beat Def. Maybe or Whats the Story though. : ok:
I think Noel sings one song too many on this album. He's a good singer and a kick-ass songwriter, but singing isn't his greatest strength.
Liam is great live :hihi: And i was kinda surprised at his songs, theyr'e really good as well.

Oasis rock :headbanger:

U've had an album released 2 days ago - for 4 weeks?

It did leak about 4 weeks ago on the internet.

Yeah, that's when I got it.

Just checking

I resent that nesquick >:(, why the fuck would metal heads be at an Oasis concert anyway??!!
I listen to Jeff Buckly and even Fleetwood Mac dude, and i happen to be a huge metal head too!!!why are we stupid??


Oasis have good stuff, but i strongly cannot agree that Liam is one of the greatest, best live front men ever.................................he does nothin', except think he's the biggest rock god on earth.

Has anyone seen(.........ahh shit, cant remember name) a dvd about Oasis and Blur and the whole early 90's pop scene, Liam sittin' all pretty speaks shit and admitts he is infact John Lennon in his past life....and now John Lennon is him.   I've never heard anyone so up them selves and taken the whole rock god thing straight to there bloody head!!

Someone needs to stop taken his shit and head but him for a change!!

And to be honest, i really like Noels singing, havent heard them all but Dont Look Back in Anger does it for me 8)
I remember when that came out, i couldnt stop listening to it!! : ok:

I like Rockstars. A liam Gallagher is better for Rock n' Roll than any other Rock frontman over the last 10 years. Don't take him too seriously when he speaks. 8)

Oasis is NOT rock n' roll buddy...

pop rock is more like it. there's a big difference man..........tell me, how can he be the greatest frontman when he doesnt move or egnolage the crowd at all.
Im really curious, give us an idea WHY he is the greatest, im not trying to be a smart arse, i just wanna hear your oppinion dude, cause i just cant see it!!

Off topic - why are metal heads stupid nesquick, i think a majority here like that genre, back up your words please!!!

oasis is a  rock in roll band. : ok:

And metal heads aren't stupid.

after a few more listens to"Dont Believe the Truth" it very well could be the album of the year.

Oasis is a Rock band, definitely.
About metal-heads, I don't want to talk about them. bad experiences you know... a bunch of stupid assholes (and I still stay polite) with whom I had troubles a while ago. That's personal reasons.

what...are we like a nightbreed from midian that attack on site :hihi:

i think im the first metal head you WOULD get along with dude, if you've met one prick metal head, dont let that acount for all of us!!!!
If they see you again, just take it and stand up for what you beleive in man!! fuck em'

Oasis - pop rock  in there own words!!

GNR(eg.) - Rn'R : ok:

Definitely Maybe is one of the greatest ROCK N ROLL albums ever made

Good point...


Normal service resumed ::)

Actually Oasis are trip-hop :hihi:

They are the very definition of a rock n roll band

DBTT- Debuted at #12 on billboards top albums chart. With 65,000 copies sold in the first week.

Nice that pretty damn good .cosidering I don't think they got that much promo for this album.

Now come on that's just a lie. 'The Masterplan' and especially '...Shoulders Of Giants' are absolute shite. Even Noel said '...Shoulders Of Giants' was shite. Although he doesn't like 'Be Here Now' either, but that is good.

'Morning Glory' is the best IMO.

When Standing on the shoulder of giants came out though, Noel said "Its the best thing we've done since DM."  Which is the same fucking thing he says when every album comes out.  Be Here Now is probably my favorite album.  But I like every Oasis album a lot so its hard to choose.  To keep this on the subject of the new album, anyone that likes Don't believe the truth, you need to find the songs, Pass me down the wine and Won't let you down.  Won't let you down is one of the b-sides to Lyla and Pass me down the wine is and itunes bonus track.  CHECK THEM OUT!!!!

I don't want to comment on the new album yet as I haven't heard it.  But I have heard Lyla and that song is a fu(king embarrasment.  Oasis the best band in this country?  If so it somes the UK up at the moment - shitehole.  Where's the Oasis that used to be good?  They used to write decent songs once upon a time.  Since WTSMG they've had about 1 decent song per album.  They need to quit big time, before they really fade from memory.  I'm sure they're only popular in England because they get tremendous amounts of marketing and they have a huge reputation.  Chavs lap it up even though they don't understand that they've been releasing shite for nearly 10 years.

I'm probably the only American in this thread, but the wife and I just got back from Chicago yesterday.  We went all the way there (8 hour drive) to see Oasis.  She has been a huge fan since they first came out, and I started getting into them a few years ago.  DBTT is a kickass album, no matter what anyone in here says and it's been the only thing that's been able to tear me away from NIN's new one.

The show on Monday absolutely rocked and had one of the best, most clear soundsystems I've ever heard at a concert.  You could actually make out everything that Liam and Noel (for the most part) were singing.  Great show...in my top three concerts I've ever been to...even though the wife and I felt pretty old in the college-kid crowd.

Oh...and the "no beer" thing sucked too.

I noticed that point too. Oasis have a fantastic clear live sound, sometimes I had the impression the sound quality was studio while they were playing. : ok:
technically they were outrageously perfect. Liam Gallagher is the best singer I've ever seen "Live", he doesn't move a lot, but it's hard to beat him on vocals. They sounded definitely better than VR (way too loud, the sound wasn't clear, I couldn't hear scott, it was like listening to a C- bootleg at 150 db) even if considering the energy and the stage presence, VR was better though.

I went and saw them in Rochester, right outside of Detroit, last Saturday.  It was one of the best shows I have ever seen.  I've seen a ton of concerts and the only one I can think that I actually had a better time at was GNR in Cleveland '02.  I was in awe that whole time though cause it was fuckin GNR.  Anyway, Oasis did put on a hell of show when I saw them  and I hear the Madison Square Garden show last night in NYC was amazing as well.

...but were you allowed to drink.  No beer at the UIC Pavillion was really strange to the wife and myself.  Liam even commented about it before doing "Cigarettes And Alchohol".

The reviews of the MSG concert are exellent. a pic of the show

Never really been much of a fan, i have liked the obvious hits but aside from that i have had little interest anyway.....

My work called me up wednesday wanting me to work at an Oasis gig at Manchester City's homeground on thursday (today/it's technically yesterday now) so i thought fuck it being paid to watch them...what the hell..

Got there at about 2.00p.m, now i work for a security firm and we get put in all positions and gigs, from ticket collecting to at the front of the pit so i really did not know whether i would get a decent spot of not.

2.30p.m.  I was told my position was to be next to one of the towers with speakers on making sure no drunk fuckers trying climbing up them, the great news was i would have a perfect view of the whole thing, the shit thing was that now we were in position, aside from breaks we were stuck there for the day even though the bands were not due on for a good few hours.

4.00p.m. The whole things still being constructed i am dying of boredom so i started chatting to this guy about GN'R to help pass the time by when all of a sudden he shouted 'That's Noel' and surprise surprise Noel Gallagher was just strolling round the ground with his massive shades on looking like he was weighing things up, no sign of Liam but i guessed he was probably in the back with a can in one hand and fag in the other.

4.30p.m. They came out to do a soundcheck, did about 3 or 4 songs i think, did not recognise any of them, definately not any of the 'Obvious' hits which i know.

6.10p.m.  Support band called The Stones (i may be wrong) came on, they had a very Beatlesesque sound, not surprising considering who they were supporting and the fact they were from Liverpool, pleasant enough to listen to and i was glad of something to watch.

7.10p.m.  Super Furry Animals came on, now i have never really liked 'em and well they still sucked to me so moving on...

8.55p.m. Oasis finally arrived on stage, the place was now packed, now i liked lots of the songs they played and i thought they put on an awesome gig but not being much of a fan there's only a few songs i can name, second on they played the first single off the new album pretty good tune live everyone seemed into it.  They also played Wonderwall, Champagne SuperNova, Cigarettes And Alcohol, What's The Story Morning Glory, Little By Little, Rock N' Roll Star (Last song before the encore) and many others which i am forgetting now (i am very tired).  Anywayz they were awesome live and they finished on 2 awesome tunes, Don't Look Back In Anger which got a deafening response everybody was on their feet singing along by far the most popular song of the night and to top it off they finished with a cover of The Who's My Generation.  On a funny note before one of the songs Liam asked 'Who here likes Malcolm Glazier?'  Everybody cheered (It's Man City...what do you expect?).  So they finished just after 10.30p.m.  It took us about 30 minutes to clear the fuckers out, another 30 waiting for our coach, another goddamn hour to get back, and now im finally home, a very enjoyable gig made all the better by the fact that i actually like a band i wasn't too keen on before and i was paid to be there  ;D :smoking:

cool review? :smoking:
were you to THAT oasis show? (picture). is it the right gig?

(http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/6329/oasis0158kw.jpg)

Hard to tell picture has come up a bit dodgy, it definately looks like the stadium...do u have any more pics? better quality?

yes look at thoses ones:

PS: when GN'R comes back, I want as big shows as this one!! : ok:

Yep pretty sure that was the gig, one of the pics showed Liam in his black bucket hat and suit same as he had on so i am almost certain it's the one...it was trully awesome, thanks for those dude, GN'R could easily fill that place dude.

I don't know if GN'R cas "easily" fill that place but, after so much time waiting, I want something big, a stadium tour. At least in Paris, my city. This is my dream to see axl and to listen to GN'R music in a stadium with 50.000+ people. I want a big show. I have enough of small concert in clubs/half packed arenas.

I just got back from watching Oasis live in Newcastle on Tues 12th July, I stayed at my mates in Newcastle for a couple of days before getting the train back.

Wow, they were fucking amazing, the crowd was so into it it was untrue, they played for about 2 hours, about 6 off the new album, 6 off def maybe, 4 off morning glory. it was just truly amazing, live forever and my generation (closing song) were the highlights for me!

It was ridiculously hot tho, my clothes are still wet with sweat after 2 days, there was a layer of sweat in the bottom of the arena and we were all ringing our t shirts out on the way out.

The whole trip cost me about 130 quid but it was well worth it

Saw them back in 2002, in London. Fookin amazin...  ;)

Oh, and the whole trip cost me a lot more than 130 quid, since I travelled from Greece to the UK...  ;D

This is a great Rock band. One of the best (the best?) of the last decade for sure.

I saw them from the front row at Milton Keynes on Sunday.. It was a good show.

I saw them in Manchester. CLASS.

I bough 2 Oasis albums today: "be here now" and "heathen chemistry". I didn't have them.

I think this is the best European band since Queen.

I missed out on a ticket for their current UK jaunt when they were on sale, sadly.

Having seen and heard a couple of broadcasts though, I can tell that they are still capable of putting on a great show. The band is tight, and the setlist is very well judged (well paced, with a good mix of classics and newies).

Liam on the other hand... I don't know, perhaps he has lost his edge. His live vocals now sound oddly whiney and stripped of the old grittiness and and the cocky sneer (he's even dropped the emphases in the verses of 'Cigs and Alcohol'. I.e. No more singing 'Ack-shi-urrn' and 'Sonn-shee-iyne'.  :no:). And I know he has never been an energetic showman (which was part of his appeal), but nowadays he is reduced to standing around looking bored and, irritatingly, grabbing his crotch whislt a tambourine hangs from his foul gob. Or maybe he has always been that way. Please enlighten me, long time Oasis fans.

saw em' in oz a couple of years ago n' they were fuckin' terrible :no:

they did alright but pretty boring :-\

saw that on E4. my bro saw them in Dublin. i rang him and i could here them really well.
Live 4 ever, The importance of.... Don't look back and Aquiecse were brill! my brother met Noel too! Lucky Bastard!!!!!!!

it depends on what you like. If you were standing for a heavy trash mega noizy metal concert, that's not the kind of band you'll ever enjoy.
With Oasis, all is in the melody. and don't worry they can Rock when they want (acquiece, cigarettes and alchol etc...).
Maybe you went to a bad show, because when they are in form, they simply are the best band in the world (with GN'R and U2).

FLEETWOOD MAC put on a more exciting show man, dont get me wrong....proberly was a bad show :-\

As we have a thread that bashes Oasis :P - i thought the official Oasis thread should be brought back so people can talk about Oasis and not have to discuss Manowar at the same time

I've been recently listening to Standing on the shoulders of giants - a few days ago i'd have said it was a terrible album - now i adore it, not sure why it didn't click before

Full of great riffs, Noel is on fire!

I have to say i though the new album was...dire, all the guitar work has gone, no solo's :'(

Coldplay - Parachutes (Double Platinum - 2,000,000)
Coldplay - Rush of Blood to the Head (Triple Platinum - 3,000,000)
Coldplay - X&Y (Double Platinum - 2,000,000)  *Still in the Top Ten

So that will be 7 million plus off 3 albums.... does that mean Coldplay is "better in the U.S."?

I haven't heard anything from the new Oasis album yet, I keep forgetting to bother.  I was one of the few that liked "Heathen Chemistry" though.

Standing on the shoulder of giants is my favourite oasis album..

Fucking in the bushes -  amazing opener, amazing riff, sets a brilliant tone for the rest of the album.

go let it out - amazing psychedelic groove, a classic.

who feels love - i love this, quality vocals, cool fills, great lyrics

put yer money where yer mouth is - straight up rock n roll,

little james - a liam lullaby :love:

gas panic - may well be the best thing oasis have ever done.

where did it all go wrong - some amazing lyrics from noel here "and untill you've repaid the dreams you bought for your lies... you'll be castaway alone under stormy sky's"

sunday morning call - i can relate to this very much, most touching song on the album for me.

i can see a liar - punk rock... amazing when liam belts out "and now that i feel godlike there nothing that cant be kissed"

roll it over - best closer to an oasis album since champagne supernova. Beautiful.

Funny you mention that, I've been listening to "Standing...." over the course of this week. Actually, this has been an Oasis week cause I have downloaded a few b-sides as well.

Standing on the shoulder on Giants is a much better album now than it was for me 5 years ago when it came out. I especially like the songs Noel sings on..." Sunday Morning.." and my favorite " Where did I go wrong". I know the band released at least 3 vids, but I've only seen " Go let it out". Anyone seen the other two?

Nope - they kind of fell off the radar.....i can't even remember the video for Go Let it out either....

The video for go let it out was the band in the back of a bus. Sort of a "magical mystery tour" feel to it. The video for sunday morning call was filmed in an asylum or something like that. Been years since i've seen them.

they are always on vh2, mtv2, channel Q, The amp.

In the Go Let It Out, Liam is on the back of a bus with a guitar singing until he arrives to a place where the band is palying and Noel is playing bass (I think they hadnt hired Andy Bell back then)
The Gas Panic video (A-mazinng song) is kind of a live video.
And in the Sunday Moring Call, the band`s on a house playing (I think so, cant really remember the last time I saw it)

Back on the topic, I just love Oasis, I own all of theyre records, and I think every single on of them is amazing.Well, SOTJSOG  isnt THAT amazing, but it has Gas Panic, Go let it out and Little James, so its good too.



Baby Slash//

Alright I could never really get into Oasis because they really just reminded me of the Verve but knew they were huge for Whats the Story. I really liked their new single, Lyla (even though its a complete rip off of Street Fighting Man :-*) and decided to check out some of their older material this morning when I discovered "Chapagne Supernova" and it is a bloody brilliant track I do have to admit. I smoked a few bongs to it and its just bloody intense music..all british music i guess for that matter :hihi:

has anyone heard their new song.. its simply stunning, an epic sounding beautiful song.

what are your opinions on it, It is being released on the soundtrack for the film Goal.

After their latest album i'm just going to focus on their earlier stuff....saves anymore pain

link please?

i refuse to listen to british radio so i'm not going to sit through hours of crap music to here this song.

I do like this song.  I wouldn't go as far as to say it's epic though.  Its  a pretty decent song written and sung by Noel.  I don't think we can post a link cause it is an official release.  But its probably worth checking it out sometime.  I'm off to see Oasis in 5 days by the way.  Hell fuckin yeah!!  I would be a little more pumped up if it was to go see the new GNR though.  I'm not even sure what I would do then.

Sung by Noel?

I was going to buy the soundtrack - u just saved me ?10, thanks!

Let There Be Love? will be the third single taken from Oasis? double platinum selling album ?Don?t Believe The Truth?. The album has already spawned two number one singles this year, ?Lyla? and ?The Importance Of Being Idle?. In October it won Q Magazine?s prestigious Album Of The Year award and the People?s Choice Award.

The single is released on CD, DVD and 10? vinyl on 28th November 2005 on Big Brother Recordings. The CD and 10? will feature a brand new Noel penned track entitled ?Sittin? Here In Silence (On My Own)? which was produced and mixed by Dave Sardy. The documentary footage included on the DVD goes behind the scenes of Oasis? biggest ever world tour, which will seen them play to over 2 million people worldwide in 2005. Recorded by renowned promo director Baillie Walsh it is a taste of a longer film to come, entitled ?Lord Don?t Slow Me Down? and culminates in the spine-tingling new video for ?Let There Be Love?.

Downloaded a few Oasis songs a while ago. I thought about posting this a while back but never really bothered. Now, since I'm listening to the song I'm about to talk about, thought about posting this...

Ever heard a song called "Carry us all"? I believe is a b-side from the Sunday Morning Call single. The song is amazing. I don't know why and how didn't make the cut to SOTSOG. Noel sings it, it's become one of my favorite Oasis tracks. Up there with Don't Look Back..., Magic Pie, Live Forever, etc.

All of you Oasis fans need to check this song out. You can find it in any of the file-sharing sites? ;)

Oasis are infamous for releasing much of their best stuff as B-sides - while leaving weaker material on the albums, its been a source of much confusion for many a year.

I heard the were going to release a b-side s album next year .

Has anybody else heard this?

Nope

But they missed a lot off 'The Masterplan' so they really need to do it - as they have set a precedent for releasing b sides albums i'm sure they'll do it again

i think ive fallen in love with the song wonderwall

not even in the top 20 best oasis songs in my opinion.


and yes they are planning on releasing a new b-sides album.

they are also releasing a new single called boy with the blues early 2006.

Love the way he just gives it to Elton John, George Michael and Robbie Williams at random!  :hihi:

A mellower Noel Gallagher 'freaked out' by young fans

Sunday Oct 30 13:59 AEST

Oasis song-writing legend Noel Gallagher, currently on tour after the release of the band's sixth album, thinks the only thing that might put an end to live performances by the chart-topping group is the health of younger brother Liam's hair.

"The masterstroke in this band was having a singer five years younger than anyone else. As long as he doesn't go bald, we'll be around for a bit," 38-year-old Noel told AFP before a performance in Paris.

The surly Gallagher brothers, famed for their thick Manchester accents and bitter sibling rivalry, burst onto the British music scene more than a decade ago before going on to sell millions of records worldwide.

Their volatile relationship, fights, drug problems, celebrity relationships -- and their prodigious talent for producing catchy pop songs -- have filled thousands of news pages the world over.

But the fact that Noel is now joking about ageing and baldness suggests that he may have come to terms with the end of his hell-raising days.

Despite a long and much-publicised history of fraternal friction, Noel says he hasn't had a proper fight with Liam "for a few years."

"All those stupid fights about fucking whose jackets was better than the other's have all gone," he says.

He admits though that seeing teenagers in the audience singing along to some of the band's early releases "freaks him out."

"There's kids singing along to 'Rock 'n' Roll star' and they would have been like six when it came out," he says. "That took me like two months (of the tour) to get used to. Before, I wouldn't look young people in the eye."

The latest album "Don't Believe The Truth" has been well received by fans, and the return to public favour was cemented when Oasis picked up the Best Album award at Britain's prestigious Q music awards in early October.

The album is a return to a well-tested formula: Liam's strained, nasal vocals laid over powerful guitar chords, coupled with catchy choruses in both rock and ballad formats.

After six albums, it's clear Oasis are not about to reinvent themselves.

"I'm not going to develop anymore after 38. It's as simple as that," says Noel.

Does Noel have another "Wonderwall" or "Live Forever" in him, two of the band's most enduringly popular songs?

"I used to write five songs a day. But now you've got baggage and when you get older you've got things to do," he says. "I don't write as much as I used to, but I write often enough to satisfy my interest."

Not the talk of someone who's still got things to prove. Fatherhood, for one thing, has sapped some of his energy, he says.

But the singer-songwriter has lost none of his cockiness or taste for feuding with fellow musicians. Nor has bringing up a daughter curbed his colourful language.

Noel dismisses, for example, the revival of guitar-based pop music -- called by some "Britpop II" after the Britpop of Oasis and Blur in the mid-1990s -- as "fucking Indie rubbish".

Noel has already publicly mocked British rivals Bloc Party, and he is no less scornful of bands such as Franz Ferdinand and Maximo Park because they perform in modish suits and ties.

Attending the NME music magazine awards in Britain, he said, was like being in a school disco, where rigid jacket-and-tie dress codes are enforced.

"We were the only people sat there without shirts and ties on. Everyone else was in school uniform," he says. "The first thing we did when got back from school was get that fucking tie off and get some casual clothes on."

Noel insists on leading a normal life and going to the shops near his home in West London because if not "you end up like Elton John, or fucking George Michael."

The sight of the Rolling Stones, still touring well into their sixties, is "fucking sad," he said.

Not to be neglected in Noel's litany of abuse was Oasis nemesis and British pop rival Robbie Williams.

"I wouldn't walk a mile in his shoes because he seems to be a very lonely, unhappy, very confused young man," he says.

More surprising is Noel's readiness to loosen his grip on the direction of the band, something over which he has always maintained absolute control.

Noel wrote only half the new album. Band members Andy Bell and Gem Archer wrote one song each, and Liam did three.

"Liam 's only just started to write songs. He's like a fucking mad man," he says. "He's writing 10 songs a day. I was like that 20 years ago."

Noel on being a parent? "A fucking big responsibility," "one of life's greatest things," "a fucking pain in the arse."

"If I had any advice, between the ages of 15 and 30 just absolutely go for it like every day was your last. As soon as you hit 30, take your foot off the gas a bit," he says.

Oasis are on tour until next March and will visit Japan and Australia in November.

I have loved all of Oasis's stuff - but not the new album

That album sounded like people approaching their 40's trying to rock - Oasis were always so volatile and that reflected in their songs, looks like they are on the slippery slope now - i can't see them doing anything worth hearing again, which is a damn shame

your really one of a kind then.

how does "the meaning of soul" reflect an image of a band approaching their 40's?

if anything that song says "i dont give a shit if you think this is great or not"

i dont think DBTT is better than Standing on the shoulder of giants, that album in my opinion is a masterpeice.

That's kind of obvious - unless i have a clone somewhere :hihi:


Its slow, uninspired, the hard edge is just....gone



Just as well really - compare that song to anything they did previously - its painful

i dont like arguing with fellow oasis fans..... fair enough if you dont rate DBTT, however i think its their 4th best album.

      Oasis beats U2, says Noel Gallagher

    OASIS guitarist Noel Gallagher has declared that his band is better than U2 and Coldplay.

    And he insists the other bands know it.
    "They know that we s--- over them," Gallagher said yesterday on the eve of the British band's sold-out Festival Hall show.

    "We've got two guitarists in our band. They've only got two between them. End of story.

    "Me, Chris Martin (Coldplay) and Bono (U2) have a friendly rivalry. Not that we're in some celebrity club, but I do talk to them on a regular basis and they know we're the bollocks.

    "They were on their hands and knees begging us to play Live8. It wasn't a big enough show for us."

    Oasis has had a remarkable comeback this year. Next week its new album Don't Believe the Truth is set to be the band's third consecutive British No. 1 this year with the Noel and Liam Gallagher duet Let There Be Love.

    "Coldplay and U2 haven't had three No. 1s in a row," Gallagher joked. "Coldplay haven't had any No. 1s in the UK, actually."

    Gallagher scoffed at rumours he's feuding with brother Liam after an incident in Brisbane.

    "It's bollocks," Gallagher said. "It's quite preposterous. Things are fine."

    Gallagher is a fan of Australia. "I'd move here if it wasn't so far away. It's like America weather-wise, but it's not full of fat idiots," he said.

    Oasis's final Melbourne show is at Festival Hall tonight.

it's true. they shit all over U2 and Coldplay.

After those comments, and the Manowar comments, I can't take anything they've said seriously anymore. Well, I never did.

Big coldplay fan i take it?

I saw Oasis live a few days ago. Probably the worst show I have ever seen.

manowar comments???  :rofl: :rofl:

Oasis piss over everything,

they didn't just seize the day, they shagged it senseless and then took it out boozing.  8)

ahaha! hilarous! He will never change. he rocks : ok:

Ur not supposed to take it seriously - if u knew anything about the band u'd know they love to annoy the media and say anything to do that, their exploits are always hilarious

What band did you see?  I saw them in Toronto this summer and they were fucking awesome.  Oasis is probably the best band out there today...and it's true, they do shit all over U2 and Coldplay.  It's nice to know there's still a band out there that pens great songs and upholds the rock 'n' roll traditions of sex, drugs, and attitude.  Noel is definitely the most underrated songwriter ever.

the masterplan is probably one of the greatest songs ever and its a b-side.

thats attitude right there.

Gnr would even be proud to have it as an a-side.

Check the Main Road'1996 version at Main Road stadium- Manchester. That song is genius.
Oasis back at home. One of the greatest Rock show EVER. I think it's on the DVD "Oasis - there and then".

ive got it, a classic live dvd, liam is truley towering in it, he was IMO the best singer in the world at that point. too bad his voice has gone downhill from all the drink, smoking and drugs  :(

I've seen them twice and they are great live. It's just this huge wall of noise. Brilliant.

Hilarious.

With a post like that u must have stumbled into the wrong thread

Any band that gets 80,000 people singing every line for 2 hrs is clearly doing something right, and Liam, standing motionless still has more energy than damn near any other performer alive

      Noel pays tribute to Best

    OASIS star Noel Gallagher has paid George Best the ultimate compliment - saying the soccer legend was cool enough to be in the band.

    Guitarist Noel, 38, said: "Georgie transcended football. He was called the fifth Beatle and he looked cool as f***.

    "He owned a nightclub and a clothes shop, drove a Ferrari and he shagged Miss World."

    Asked whether George was cool enough to be in Oasis, Noel replied: "The only thing he didn't do in his life that was cool was play music, and he probably would have been good at that, too."

    Noel - a staunch Manchester City supporter - became pals with George after meeting at a charity function. They remained in contact after the Manchester United icon was diagnosed with liver disease.

    Noel and his ex-wife Meg Mathews sent flowers in 2000 when George was taken to hospital for tests on his liver. He later had a transplant.

    Noel missed George's Belfast funeral on Saturday due to tour commitments in Australia.

    source: The Sun

the relationship between oasis and fans during concerts is quite simply incredible, going to an oasis concert is like going to a football match, so much passion is exchanged between the band and the fans, i do believe oasis fans are a different breed, they are probably the most loyal fans around, as Izzy said a band that can get 80 thousand people going "mad fer it" must be special, thats why they are considered one of the finest acts in the world, you dont need to change your costume every 5 minutes and jump from one amplifier to the other to be great. For me that isnt rock n roll, and liam is great live, the way he just stands there and looks through 80 thousand people as if they are invisible followed by chants of "liam, liam" is a spectacle itself.

yeah, Liam and Noel are accessible. if you want to take a picture, they are even open minded to talk about football. I know a girl who got a kiss from Liam, she just said "can i kiss you?" and Liam said "yeah! come on!" and he kissed her.
The gallagher brother's are good guys. They are provocative with the media, but they are great with their fans.

what a complete fuckin' wanker, i have never heard someone so stuck up his own arse!!! >:(

Hey Noel, if you did move to Australia, i'd fuckin' kill ya!!! :yes:

FUCK OASIS

Oasis triumph at huge Cardiff gig
'Noise And Confusion 05' caps a great year

Oasis triumphed at the 'Noise And Confusion 05' extravagaza at Cardiff Millennium Stadium yesterday (December 10).

The rock giants headlined the mammoth gig backed by a stellar support cast including Foo Fighters, Razorlight and Noel Gallagher's favourite band The Coral.

But there was no doubt who the majority of the sold-out crowd were there to see - and Oasis didn't disappoint. Playing the same set (bar 'The Masterplan' ) they ran through at the summer festivals, they thrilled the devoted crowd with a mix of songs from current album and a host of old classics.

Liam Gallagher was in unusually quiet mood, but was seen to be regularly asking the fans in the front rows if they were OK.

The set was:

'Fuckin' In The Bushes' (Intro)
'Turn Up The Sun'
'Lyla'
'Bring It On Down'
'Morning Glory'
'Cigarettes And Alcohol'
'The Importance of Being Idle'
'The Masterplan'
'Songbird'
'A Bell Will Ring'
'Acquiesce'
'Live Forever'
'Mucky Fingers'
'Wonderwall'
'Champagne Supernova'
'Rock 'N' Roll Star'

'Guess God Thinks I'm Abel'
'The Meaning Of Soul'
'Don't Look Back In Anger'
'My Generation'

Yey, my fav Oasis song, i didn't realise that made their live set, seems to be the 'forgotten' Oasis track - absolutely storming guitar work, love it

That set list has far too much from their latest album - can't stand any track off it.

Foos blew oasis of the stage....man, never seen a band be less appreciative of headlining, liam just stood there and sang, no moving round, no talking to the crowd....foos on the other hand, owned the fuckin stage!

brilliant song, love it when oasis do punk.

to Oasis fans, i would like you to tell me what you think of what Noel is sayin' here, i mean, i think its the most disrespectful thing any artist could say, i cant fuckin' get over it  :confused:   ive heard these 2 pricks say there bigger then Jesus n' The Beatles all this shit, but these guys really think they are  king  :o :o :o :o :o :o

what do ya think???????

No one cares what you think.

you just dont get oasis  ;)

I've been snapping up all Oasis's singles to get hold of the B-sides (i don't like downloading, something better about owning)

Oasis are a truly puzzling band that released so many great tracks as b-sides, even tracks they play live miss out on albums such as My generation and Cum on feel the noize!

Its about time they did a new b-sides album as the Masterplan missed out so many

what do you think of lets all make believe?

I just bought the 'Go let it out' single off ebay which includes that and ''(as long as they've got) cigerettes in hell'' - should arrive soon, i'll let ya know what i think then

Apparently the 2 b-sides on that single are rated the equal of anything off SOTSOG....

Been listening to 'Whatever' alot lately - that should have been on Definetly Maybe, one of their very best tracks

I think they couldnt afford to include it on the album at that time, yeah lets all make believe is magical.

you fuckin' idiot, i asked you!!!  :hihi:




well give me a hint buddy!!

i just dont think you can admit ya heros are so fare up there own arses its not funny!!

they have always been like that, from when they were working at gas stations and building sights, Oasis are real, and if you had any sense youd realise noel is taking the piss but you dont.

if you think he's takin' the piss your a dickhead  :hihi:
have you seen these guys in interviews  :o  fully up em' selves.        rest my fuckin' case!! :beer:

I honestly can't think of a band that has as many great b-sides as Oasis do.  Most of them are just as good if not better than songs from the albums.  I have every Oasis album and and all the singles.  The singles are definitely worth hunting down for the b-sides.  'Whatever' is an amazing song.  One of the best songs I have ever heard.  In response to one of the people above, 'Lets All Make Believe' is also fucking great.  People here that really haven't heard that much Oasis, do yourself a favor and go get some albums.  No matter what your taste in music.  Where I live, Oasis is like an epidemic.  It fucking spreads like mad.  I have turned hundreds of people on to Oasis.  They are my second favorite band of all time and I think deserve more respect than what they get.  And people here need to stop getting so upset with things Oasis say.  Its just the way they are.  Don't take it so personal every time.

 
When I was in hight school, Oasis was the biggest band of the Universe. they were fucking HUGE in Europe in the mid/late 90's. in my memories, only mickeal Jackson in the 80's and GN'R in the early 90's were as huge as Oasis at their top (95-98). Oasis changed the UK.. I mean yeah, they changed a whole country! a bunch of 4 or 5 guys changed the 5th most powerfull country in the world. There is a "before" and an "after" Oasis in the UK.
11 consecutive #1 singles, 4 consecutives #1 album...50 million records sold WITHOUT having success in the USA...no need to say more. if they had as much sucess in America as in the rest of the world, they would have sold more records than GN'R.

This band is genious. GN'R should tour with Oasis.

Sigh....you just don't get it, and yet - how curious - similiar behavious by Axl gets your praise!

They are hilarious in interviews because they speak their mind and don't care about anyone else - fact is the bands they slag off are asking for it and 9 times out of 10 they are bang on the mark

If you think they are always being serious then, well.....interviews with Liam are just hilarious, the guy loves to wind the interviwer up by playing dumb - he's also a damn good actor able to keep a straight face while doing it

At the end of the day, if you don't like them, good, who cares anyway.

Is that a Quiet Riot cover they did?  If it is, could you send it to me?

i just dont get it, MATE, YOU DONT EVEN GET IT, your makin' shit up as you go!!  :rofl: :rofl:

well why dont you tell me how big his dick is since you know so bloody much about em' personaly!!!   :hihi: 

OASIS TRIV......Dont Look Back In Anger (my fav.) is actually Lennons Imagin, musically!!!   ;)  just dif words!!

It's a Slade cover, (Quiet Riot covered the song too)

As soon as i get it back, i'll copy it and email it in ur direction

Okay



So u don't understand - and yet, amazingly you claim to know more than i do ::)


Ever watched an interview with the Gallagher's? That's why you don't understand



I'll see if its mentioned in one of their interviews....


Yeah, the guitar solo is the giveaway :confused:

The intro to both songs is the same. The actual music is completely different. And the intros both being the same is noel's joke; which obviously went right over your head.

But don't let facts get in the way of a good piece of trivia.


Went to see oasis on thursday night. They were brilliant. Liam's still a geezer and they were loud as fuck

surely cum on feel the noize was done by slade

Soz, thats what i meant - Quiet Riot and Oasis have both covered it

Yeah the only thing DLBIA and Imagine have in common is the similar sounding intro.  Some of the lines in the song are direct quotes from John Lennon though.  "Please don't put your life in the hands, of a rock n roll band," for example was taken from a John Lennon interview that Noel had heard.

Wow, I had no idea that was a cover.  I'll have to check out the original too, learn something new everyday.  :o

Ok nevermind, I found the Oasis version... well a live version at least, is there a studio version?

I can't tell you for sure, but i think there's a studio version of cum on feel the noize.

The original version is very similar; in fact its eerily similar. Slade are actually a good (glam) rock band from the 70's and if it wasn't for their now anthemic song "Merry Christmas Everybody" would be held in high regard as a good band. I'm sure if you looked through a lot of oasis bootlegs you'd find they've probably covered quite a few slade tunes in their day.


lennonisgod - cheers for that little bit of actual oasis trivia. I never knew that. I'll be sure and use that fact at some point to make myself sound intelligent.

I hate Oasis and I hope they drop dead!

I only listened to the new album a few times, but I really liked it. Thought it was their best album in years.

That seems to be what i'm listening to now :peace:

Horrah my Oasis single's arrived - so many b-sides that should have made the album - its a real pain to have to have so many cds of their stuff lying around when most of it should have been on WTSMG

The Gallagher brothers are true idiots.

And judging by the thought you put into that post you must be a towering intellect!

Haha an Oasis fan using the word "intellect".

That's pure gold. :rofl:

 Idiot. :beer: : ok:

hey man, these guys r' runnin' outta ideas  :hihi:

theres gonna be a stand alone single called boy with the blues. 8)

OASIS rocker NOEL GALLAGHER has plans to work on a new single written by his brother LIAM, but hasn't told him yet.

Noel, the oldest of the rock siblings, knows it will take some persuasion to get Liam back into the recording studio after a year spent on the road, but thinks the song is too good not to release as a stand-alone single.

He says, "Liam's got this tune that's left over from the sessions called THE BOY WITH THE BLUES, which he got in a right fucking arse about and it could've been on the record.

"And I would like to - because we've got a month off in January, we've got all of January off - I'd like to get back into the studio to add a bit more to it.

"I haven't spoke to Liam about this. This'll be the first he hears of it when he reads it now and he'll be like, 'What the fuck are you on about?'

"I'd like to put it out as a one-off single, 'cos if we spend January recording it and mixing it, it could be out for the summer.

"It's got a chant at the end. There's not much of a chorus to speak of, which is why it didn't go on the album.

"DAVE SARDY (producer) was like, 'It needs a chorus,' but it's got this chant at the end where the words go, 'Come all together/if we come all together/We'll come all together for you."'

10 weird facts of Oasis.  ;D

The Bank of England


I believe that less than I do rumours of Chinese Democracy scheduled for a release in the next 800,000 years

I copied and pasted from the soapbox. Their contract is almost finished with sony, and Oasis wont be signing a new one.

BILL HARRIS -- Toronto Sun

The dismissal of Oasis as nothing more than a Beatles copy band is the most lazy musical analysis ever foisted upon the public.

Through sheer repetition, it has been accepted as truth by people who couldn't name or even identify three Oasis songs.

But as the Gallagher brothers themselves might say: Don't believe the truth.

Let's make one thing clear: I'm the biggest Beatles guy ever. As wide as my tastes are, John, Paul, George and Ringo have been No. 1 on my depth chart from the time I was a humming infant.

And, for the record, I think Oasis is brilliant.

Not every Oasis song is a gem (not every Beatles song was, either). And not every utterance from the tart tongue of Noel Gallagher, or the marble mouth of Liam Gallagher, is worthy of inscription on a plaque in their hometown of Manchester, England.

But for my entertainment buck, the batting average of Oasis -- as singers, songwriters and occasionally outrageous personalities -- continues to be far higher than any of its contemporaries.

Respecting both the Beatles and Oasis, rather than pitting them against each other in a bizarre cross-generational rivalry, won't endear me to everyone, I suppose.

And a lot of folks won't like this, either, but here goes: While I recognize the quality of fellow British bands such as Radiohead and Coldplay, I find them to be, well, a little dour and dull.

Oasis songs, on the other hand, make me want to pick up my guitar and learn how to play them.

Noel Gallagher, the driving force behind Oasis, once said, "We've only got half a dozen good bands in England -- there's Oasis and there's five Oasis tribute bands."

Really, how can you not love a quote like that? But there are plenty who openly cheer for Oasis to fail as punishment for such audacity, whether you take Noel at his word or think he's just screwing around.

Oasis-bashing has become a rock-critic cliche. In response, fans of the group have developed a bunker mentality as they continue to buy tickets to concerts and sing along to almost every song.

Most reviews of the band's new CD, Don't Believe The Truth, have fallen between "not as bad as their worst" and "not as good as their best." That last charge is something Oasis always will have to live with, and it amounts to the price of past success.

Since Oasis burst to the front of the Brit-pop scene in the mid-1990s with two seminal albums -- the impudently catchy Definitely Maybe and the anthem-laden (What's The Story) Morning Glory? -- the Gallaghers constantly have been reminded how each subsequent effort has not measured up. Alanis Morissette, coincidentally, has gone through much the same thing in the past 10 years, post-Jagged Little Pill, and you probably can point to other examples as well.

Not every Oasis CD has been a gem. But how many artists who have been around as long as Oasis can claim to be clunker-free? To my ear, on average, Oasis still has more good songs per CD than the norm. Regardless, many critics continue to focus on the worst of Oasis rather than the best.

Oasis has taken far more abuse than has been warranted. Really, in this God-forsaken era of sampling-addicted rap artists and American Idol squealers topping the charts with the most formulaic drivel in the history of recorded sound, how did Oasis ever become the poster-boys for alleged musical thievery?

Not only is it not fair, it's not accurate.

Listen to Rock 'n' Roll Star, or The Hindu Times, or Lyla, the single from the new CD. The Beatles never sounded like that, folks. Listen to everything Oasis has to offer, rather than picking and choosing certain songs to prove some point about how derivative the band is.

Oasis has its own sound. I can pick it out a mile away.

Do some Oasis songs remind you of Beatles songs? Absolutely. But guess what? Oasis is a British group that plays hard-driving, melodic rock and roll. There are going to be similarities, to the Beatles, to the Who, to T-Rex, to countless others.

I had a good laugh last year when, for the first time in decades, I heard a Rolling Stones song from the mid-1960s called Child Of The Moon. It's the closest thing to an Oasis song that isn't actually an Oasis song I ever have heard, right down to Mick Jagger's vocal. All that's missing is updated instrumentation and Liam's voice, and it would fit snugly onto any Oasis CD.

The point is, just about everything sounds a little like something that came before, if you listen hard enough and have a musical library wide enough to recognize it. Heck, the Raveonettes, a critically acclaimed group from Denmark that played at Lee's Palace in Toronto last weekend, owe much of their sound to the Jesus and Mary Chain and almost all of their harmonies to the Everly Brothers. But no one seems to be up in arms about that.

So why does Oasis get picked on so much?

Part of it has to do with the magnitude of the band's profile. But Oasis also has paid for its perceived arrogance, which I find endearing and even humourous, but others do not.

I recall several years ago when Oasis was playing at Molson Park in Barrie. When Noel Gallagher emerged from backstage, he greeted the assembled throng with the words, "Show some respect for the best f---ing band on the planet!"

I thought it was great. To have the nerve to say that, especially in front of a Canadian crowd that primarily was on hand to see Neil Young, showed incredible rock-and-roll bravado. But as Oasis ducked a shower of plastic water bottles for the rest of the afternoon, I had to listen to the grumbling of those around me who thought Noel's words somehow were inappropriate.

Noel's proclamations through the years -- whether he's bragging unrepentently, or ripping himself, or ripping his bands' rivals, or ripping his brother -- have provided me with more chuckles than any stand-up comedian. He's full of bombast. Personally, I think his musical resume gives him the right to say just about anything he wants. But even if you don't agree, why can't everyone just lighten up? When did popular music become so serious?

That the United States largely has shunned Oasis because of the band's arrogance is the height of irony. It appears the U.S. appreciates "attitude" only when it's homegrown.

But Oasis is not exclusively about crazy quotes and battlin' brothers. It comes back to the music, and I am of the strong opinion that Oasis does not get the credit it deserves.

Oasis still takes me someplace.

A place where guitars still are loud.

A place where singers still sneer.

A place where songs still have tunes, not just beats.

Call it my own personal Oasis.

Which is why i don't like the new album - not one of those statements applies to it, whereas it did for previous offerings.

the album is full of sneer though, turn up the sun is LOUD and HUGE, as is Lyla, Let there be love doesn't do anything for you? its the best album closer since champagne supernova, although Roll it over is fuckin amazin too.

Let there be love, Great song, but really influenced by The Beatles.

yeah. And. So? What? 99% of music is influenced by the beatles.

Does it make it a worse song because of that. Or does rock and roll star become worse for sounding like t-rex.

Enjoy it for what it is.

Never said it was worse man... but I think Oasis more than any other mainstream band is influenced by Beatles, wich is not bad cause Beatles made the best mainstream music ever.

Not a track on that album i consider was worth recording.

I enjoy the new album.  The Importance of Being Idle is one of Noels finest moments in years.  Even Liam is growing into a decent song writer, nothing compared to big brother, but decent in his own right I guess.  Lyla didn't really appeal to me at first, but after listening to it many times, it grew on me.  Turn up the Sun, Mucky Fingers, Guess God Thinks I'm Abel, Let there be Love, Love like a bomb, I think are all solid songs.  I'm not going to compare it to the old Oasis shit cause that would be stupid.  Everyone knows what Noel wrote from 1994 to 98, was some of the best music, I think, anyone (Oasis anyway) has ever written.  I'm probably being biased though.  I've been a huge Oasis fan since the beginning and have over 200 bootlegs and I pretty much tend to like just about everything that they put out.  They are my second favorite band of all time right behind GNR and I mean RIGHT behind GNR.  But anyway, to anyone who hasn't heard the new album yet or are considering buying it, check it out.  You will either love it or hate it.  But give it a couple tries if you don't like it and it may grow on you.
Happy Holidays everyone.  I hope everyone on the board has a fun and SAFE new year.  Peace.

This is what Oasis may be up to in the next month.  I got the article from Live4ever.us.



      Back to studio for new single ?

I would love for Oasis to release a non-album track as a single in a few months.  I don't think they have done that since they released Whatever in 1994.  Speaking of Whatever, Why the fucking hell wasn't that song on Definitely Maybe???  I would have taken Digsy's Diner right off of there.

it would've stopped the flow of the album. All the songs on definetly maybe flow as they're all similar in sound (with the obvious exception of married with chilren which gets in because its fantastic).

It's like saying you should put patience and november rain on appetite instead of anything goes and think about you. Yeah, sure they existed at that time and could've been on the album but it would've messed with the flow.

"Bring it on Down" is one of the LOUDEST song I have ever heard Live  :o
amazing!

I'm assuming its because they couldn't afford the costs of getting the orchestral parts added in on their album advance - and with the money DM generated they went back and did it

They released Whatever only a month or so after the last single from DM, just in time for Xmas '94

I think it should have been put on WTSMG, even if it was only as a bonus track

Why hasn't DM been re-released with Whatever and Sad Song included? Are the record label just stupid? A brilliant way to make a few million at zero cost especially with Oasis being on top of the world right now

Here's the best of what pop and rock stars had to say to yours truly in 2005:

2005 RANT OF THE YEAR

Noel Gallagher of Oasis wins the prize for best quote as he summed up Live 8 to the Sun's Jane Stevenson:

"But I don't like the way that somebody suddenly decides that all the bands in England are going to fookin' play and everybody jumps to attention.

"No, it's the general thing that rock stars should be doing something to fookin' sort this out.

"The fate of the African continent does not fookin' depend on a load of fookin' musicians in Hyde Park singing fookin' shit songs to kids. And they're saying they're fookin' raising awareness for it.

"If you're not aware of it by now, you can be aware of it for the half-hour. But I bet you that 99% of that audience will walk out while they're still eating McDonald's on the way home and won't realize that by actually standing in McDonald's you're perpetuating poverty in some way.

"I think, more effective is taking out some of the fookin' government leaders in Africa and starting again, really. A crook is a crook right? Saddam Hussein sat on a load of oil, right? Look at (Zimbabwe president Robert) Mugabe, sat on a load of shit. So he gets to perpetuate evil against his people.

"Team America -- the American army -- should be in Africa, shouldn't they? All the little puppets going around taking out African leaders. That would be my solution to it. Well, I mean if they really want to do good for the world. That's what I'd do.

"I don't believe pop music, or Annie Lennox singing Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) is going to do anybody any favours, apart from Annie Lennox."

Indeed

He's right - people cared about the music but what it was for escaped them - and the idea a few bands could make a difference anyway

How many of the bands involved donated some of their fortune to the cause? Not many i'd imagine

Liam is God in this video  8)
http://www.youtube.com/w/Oasis--d%27You-know-what-I-mean?v=PwMsQ9rhGCs&search=Oasis

Oasis killed "I am the walrus" by the Beatles...   :'(

U kididng? Their version is superb ''i don't care if its outta tune...'' - the Beatles never had enough solo's for my liking anyway

Their versions of cum on feel the noize and my generation sound as if they were originally written by Oasis, Liam's vocals work so well with both - damnit, put out a covers album, and include those tracks!

Well man, the problem with the cover of I am the walrus by Oasis, IMO is that doesnt reflect what the song is about, (psychodelia, madness) and makes it simple.

Fair do - but they make it into a great rockin' tune, gg g'joob, maybe its different, but its a hilarious song all the same :D

Thats right, on the other hand I saw butterfly effect and the Oasis song "Stop breaking you heart out" appeared at the end of the movie, it took me by surprise and it was cool.

lol - 'stop crying your heart out', its a good song from an under rated album

Good song, reminded me "All you need is love" by Beatles tough.

Check out 'let there be love' from their latest album - very much in the Beatles style

Izzy I download that song some days ago and I liked it but that song reminds me even more to Beatles. I dont know if its something good.

just get definitely maybe, the greatest rock n roll album ever.

Just listened to (Whats the story) Morning Glory? all the way through for the first time in about a year, what a great album brings back so many memories, such a classic.

I know, at first you think it must be a Beatles cover. Its an okay song, but they have done so much better.

The new album is okay-ish, but if i want to listen to Oasis there are many better albums by them i go to first

Plays like a greatest hits album - when i first got the album i was just a casual fan, and not very clued up on Oasis - i was amazed at how I knew every track, it spawned about 7 singles! Same goes to Definetly Maybe atleats half the tracks on that album got massive airplay and still do

Never been sure which i prefer DM or WTSMG, probably the only band ever to release such a classic debut and then match it with the follow up, still remember when it got released people just couldn't believe it.

definitely maybe changed music forever.  My favourite album has got to be Standing on The Shoulder Of Giants,  a flawed masterpeice, its very difficult to not love that album.

U prefer Standing on the shoulders of giants to Definetly maybe?

Crazzzzzeeee! :hihi:

Its an okay album, but far too short, ends before it ever gets going, some good tracks but its all been done better on the three preceding albums

I have heard the singles and I liked them but is the album worth buying?

It hasn't really been the critics favourite.

Which one?

All Oasis albums are worth owning, but Definetly Maybe, Whats the story Morning Glory, Be here now and The Masterplan should be staples of everyones collection

Ok, thanks for the recommendations.

What about the new album then, worth buying too?

That's a terribly underated Oasis album, so many brilliant tracks on it- Sunday morning call, go let it out and of course Gas Panic!

Definately maybe is still my favorite Oasis album though followed by Be here now & then Standing..


Dont Believe the Truth is ok as far as their albums go in my opinion, nothing against you buying it if thats what your little heart desires..just doesnt get nearly as many spins as Be Here Now or Definately Maybe in my house : ok:

Haha, ok.

I think you would enjoy the rest of the album because there isn't a bad song on it, in my opinion. For me the singles aren't even necessarily the strongest songs on the album. I enjoy songs like Turn Up The Sun,  Love Like a Bomb, and Part of the Queue over the 2nd and 3rd singles even though they are really good songs in their own right.

For me, Don't Believe The Truth is my 3rd favorite Oasis album behind Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory. I don't think anything will ever touch those two because they are classics but Don't Believe the Truth is still a very good album. I had lost a little faith in Oasis because their previous two albums (SOTSOG and Heathen Chemistry) were somewhat disappointing. They weren't bad albums, but I just expected more from them. DBTT proved to be a pleasant surprise for me.

Standing On The Shoulder of Giants cannot be compared to Definitely Maybe. Its a personal favourite of mine because noel just pours his heart out as it was the most difficult period in his career, he was going through a lot of shit when he wrote it. Its one of the most underrated albums ever, production wise and lyrically its the best Oasis album

Ok, thank you very much!? :yes:

The new albums biggest problm is Noel sings on too many tracks and Liam writes too many tracks

Noel is an awful vocalist and Liam is a terrible song writer 'your loves like a bomb blowing my mind' - inspired! ::)

When u have those two doing the wrong thing u get a really weak offering, if it wasn't by Oasis i'd never have bought it, and i haven't even played it since the day i got it, maybe its worth owning because it clicks with some people, but i doubt i'll ever listen to it again :-\, i find most of the tracks painful :P

Noel should stick to writing and Liam to singing, thats what produced their first three classic albums.

Lyrically, SOTSOG is Oasis strongest by miles. However, Definitely Maybe is by far the best overall in my opinion - one of the top 3 albums ever if you ask me.

Just like DM represented the europhia surrounding Britain and Be Here Now represented the end of BritPop, excess and Cool Britainia. SOTSOG really summed up the feelings of the time. It was a depressing era when all good music had gone in exchange for pop and any hope in the Labour government had disappeared a long time ago.

It's not the crap album that the press made out but the only album it is better than is Heathen Chemistry in my opinion.

for ALL OF YOU, listen to that Oasis song http://rapidshare.de/files/12714319/Oasis_-_bring_it_on_down.mp3.html
Loud Rock n' Roll track isn't it? Noel gallagher shows he can play guitar absolutely well. That's what's Oasis: an amazing Rock band, one of the best ever.

Liam singing "ill be scraping their lives from the sole of my shoe tonight" is possibly the best thing ever.

Funny - but u lot are the only people i've run into who care for Bring it on down

For me, its Oasis 2nd best tune (Live forever of course no.1), but no one seems to like Bring it on down - i suppose its good ol' hard rock and the kind of stuff as GNR fans we really like

The riffs are the best thing ever, so much power there, always annoys me when people dismiss the track as filler

Apparently Bring it on down was to be the first single...

I know a lot of people who love that song. For me it's one of the best Oasis song ever. They played it onstage in Paris, hearing that tune in concert was GIANT. It sounds LOUUUUUUDDDDD. The loudest song I have ever heard.

what about columbia? such a menacing song. Definitely one of the coolest oasis songs.

there we were now here we are 8)

I never used to care for Bring it On Down. It used to be my least favorite on Definitely Maybe but it has grown on me in recent years. I wouldn't go as far as saying it is one of their best, though. It's still middle of the road as far as Oasis songs go, in my opinion.

"The Masterplan" Live in Knebworth 1996 (Video)...one of the best version http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1OUWI9X3SS6JO39UR7X3HJG66R

I downloaded that song BRING IT ON DOWN, and its interesting honestly...  : ok:

yeah, by "Definitely Maybe", it's full of Classics such as "Rock n' Roll star", "live forever", "supersonic", "cigarets and alcool"...one of the greatest rock record EVER.

Download the Live version of THE MASTERPLAN just ahead.

Indeed - there isn't a track of DM or WTSMG that isn't superb

I was bored and I decided to listen to it....




I REALLY REALLY like the guitar sound.  I cant make out what Liam(?) is singing about, but the song is great nonetheless.

Do they more songs like that?  Please say yes, and you will have made me an Oasis fan.

it's NOEL not liam in that video ;)
and yes, they have plenty of other songs like that. I think America is missing one of the greatest band ever. I've never understood why the US never got into Oasis. When music is so good, you can't resist.
Man, I would give anything for a GNR/Oasis tour... :D

Headshrinker
Fade Away
Slide Away
Cloudburst
Live Forever
Rock N Roll Star
Supersonic
Columbia
Cigarettes & Alcohol
Morning Glory
Hello
D'you know what I mean?
Fade In Out
Be Here Now
Its Gettin Better Man

some great rock n roll/punk songs there.

Don't forget the most obvious - 'my big mouth', its Bring it on down all over again and every bit as good

Also check out Cum on feel the noize and My Generation, both songs may have been written by other bands but its fairly obvious they were meant to be performed by Oasis

Sadly Oasis lost that venom as they progressed.....

Also, which single is Cloudburst on, haven't seen that one....

ill send it you in a pm sometime today izzy.

Kool :)

I want one too... please  :D   :peace:

A little bit of interesting (to say the least) news...

AT& T has paid Oasis $1 million so they can use their song "All Around The World" in a tv commercial. I don't really care about this, I'm not gonna trash a band for making the most out of their songs (besides, I do like Oasis), however, Liam called Jack White (from the White stripes) a sellout cause he's wrote a song for a Coca-cola commercial...

http://es.news.yahoo.com/13022006/183/oasis-firman-contrato-millonario-anuncio.html

(sorry, the link it's in spanish)

i love bring it on down! fuckin love it

i was at the sheffield gig on 9th of feb n when they played it i went mental

I'm seeing Oasis here in Hong Kong in 9 days. (Feb. 25th)  : ok:

a heart wrenching performance of stand by me by the pool, after guigsy and bonehead left the band.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aERblxh4aA&search=oasis%20stand%20by%20me

Been reading a fantastic book about Oasis and it settles that age old question as to why 'Whatever' wasn't on DM - as i suspected they didn't have the time or money to record it untill later when the string parts could be done

Intrestingly it was one of the first lot of Oasis songs written...

have you got the definitely maybe dvd? interestingly theres a 20 second clip of oasis playing All Around The World in 1992-93.

Its strongly believed that noel wrote the first three albums and all the b-sides whilst he was learning his trade by being a roadie for the inspiral carpets.

Why is the new album so wank? lol

bloody love that song, cant get hold of it tho, any1 have it? could add me on msn n send it me?

cheers

Why don't you like the new album?? I think there are some of the best songs Noel has written in years and Liam is even starting to come around as a song writer.  Gem is pretty solid also.  Its very different to me for some reason.  I really wish Noel would go back to writing the majority of the songs, maybe like 6 or 7 and leaving just a few for Liam, Gem and Andy.  I don't know.  I've been a huge Oasis fan for 10 years and I think my opinion is pretty biased when it comes to them.  I think almost everything they have done is great.  DM could have been a perfect album if they would have just left off 'Digsys'.

Hmmm - however early bootlegs show Oasis were truly dire even with Noel and it took some time before the lyrics and songs started working

Digsys Dinner rocks! I love that song, the final track should have been cut - it doesn't fit the album and is a poor quality recording

As for the new album - dreadful stuff, its not Oasis, all the components that made an album an Oasis album are missing

And those awful lyrics! 'your love's like a bomb blowing my mind' wtf?

No one but Noel should write lyrics, the others have zero talent

THE NEW ALBUM IS GOOD, A BIT OF A MIXTURE, SOME WEAK AND SOME AWESOME

You mean all weak lol

The new album is alright, nothing special. I don't believe it's better then anything else. It might be better then Be Here

It's got about 3 good songs, other then that, they stray away from what made them great... a little too much experimentation on their part.

Liam looking cool as fuck recently, interview below. (in the transcript noel's name is changed to Dwayne, a word filter from another forum,lol)

Our team at MILK has never been so nervous before; not only because Oasis is one of the most influential rock groups around, but also our personal affections with the band itself. Oasis was the soundtrack of our youths.

This is Liam Gallagher's first cover feature with the Hong Kong media - a truly historical and defining moment. Furthermore, we have managed to witness Liam's becoming of age. Once characterised as a Tazmanian devil with a volatile temper and over-the-top arrogance, he was today suprisingly calm but still confident as ever - perhaps a sign of recognition of the band's current status and values. As Oasis returns to form, a new wave of British bands are also emerging in 2006. The future, it seems, is looking bright once again.


Seems like you have fallen in love with the guitar?
L: I wouldn't say I can play the guitar, I'm just doing my best, man. I've done it for a few years anyway, but I don't think I'll ever play the guitar on stage. It aint something I'm good at.

But you've written loads of songs right? Will we see more of your tunes in the next album?
L: Sure you will. I've got a lot of unfinished bits and pieces. Gonna need sometime to turn them into proper tunes though.

We heard you wrote one called <The Boy With The Blues>, how was that going along?
L: After the tour we'll do some recording, then we'll put it out.

But wasn't the plan to have an EP out in the summer scrapped?
L: Oh isn't it? I didn't know that, is it? (Well Dwayne said so last time) Really? Well, nothing I can do about it then...

You guys gonna take a year off after the tour?
L: Yeah...but probably not that long, may be 6 months or so, then we'll get together and do some demos. I hope we have a new album out next year, I can't fooking wait that long.

What're you gonna do in the meantime?
L: Sit around, take my kid to the park, things like that.

What will the documentary <Lord Don't Slow Me Down> be like?
L: Trust me, don't bother! I don't like the stuff they were shooting during the tour, you know? Some bits are ok, but most of them are just boring as hell! Who wants to watch us just hanging around doing fook all? It's ridiculous man!

You like Oasis as it is now?
L: Yeah I love it. Probably the best we've ever been.

You said <Live Forever> is your overall favourite Oasis song. Which song do you think has the best lyrics?
L: It'd still be <Live Forever>. I love it!

You mentioned your son Lennon likes to listen to the McFly, what are you giving him to listen to right now?
L: I'd give him anything. I gave him some Oasis stuff, but recently he's into the fooking Gorillaz! Well it's his life, let him decide what he likes.

What if someday your son or daughter wants to be in a band?
L: That's alright. Do whatever they like!

Has being a dad changed you?
L: A little bit...nothing too drastic, I don't feel it myself, you know? Yeah but I guess you know better what your responsibilities are. You gotta take care of your kids.

Are you enjoying life much more than before?
L: Yeah it's wonderful, everything's fine and I'm happy.

Which other UK bands do you like?
L: Kasabian is great. I love everything about them! Their image, their music, they're just spot-on. And The Arctic Monkeys..I heard some of their stuff but not the album. Sounds alrite. I'd love to go see them live sometime.

At the NME Awards last time, Oasis were the only guests who weren't wearing suits. Why's that?
L: Why should we fooking dress up like school kids? We aint going to bloody school so what's a tie for? Those people should spend less time covering up their rubbish music and looking stupid by wearing fooking suits!

Will Oasis collaborate with other bands or musicians?
L: No, personally I wouldn't.

Any words of advise for people wanting to form a band?
L: Just do what you fooking want and don't do anything you're not supposed to. Go out, stick to your goals and don't let anything change you. Don't sell yourself out just to sell more records. Then eventually you'll make it someday.

Ever thought of calling it quits and not performing on stage?
L: Never. As long as I got legs and I can walk. Music is my profession.

How was it crusing through the Hong Kong harbour last night?
L: It was great. I'll remember it (points to his head). Tops.

What're you gonna do after the show?
L: Going back to the hotel. Need to pick up some toys for my kids tomorrow.


Before the PR guy started to introduce, Liam came up to me and said: "I know yer. I've seen yer before". It was a short interview at Fuji Rock festival last summer. While I stood there dumbfounded, Liam was proud of his memory and happily proclaimed it's not just garbage he's got in his brain.

Doing an interview with Liam was honestly a taunting experience. Before hand, his assistance and record company PR people warned me over and over again not to upset the super rock star. However, at both intervals I saw Liam, he was in jubilant mood and was willing to chat. I felt he's actually not that difficult to approach, or may be fatherhood has had a substantial impact on him. Of course, the attutude is still there, but with Oasis risen to legendary statuses, it all feels only natural.

The fact that Dwayne wasn't doing an interview and Liam not knowing what he said seemed to indicate a lack of communication between the siblings. However both share similar opinions on certain questions, and both managed to put on a good show without even having to look at each other on stage. As Dwayne pointed out, their relations have proabably improved as they both become more mellow with age.

Is it my imagination or does Liam look like Izzy currently does in those photos? Trouble is, Izzy is a good 10-15 years oler - Liam's looking a bit....well, old

yer, how old is he? 33/34? looks a bit old

legend tho

Yeah, Liam does look old there but he still looks cool.

Richard Ashcroft on Oasis recently.

"I think Oasis, you should never underestimate, as well. How on fire they are and individually as songwriters. How powerful Liam's next set of songs are going to be and how powerful Noel's are. He's got competition now, within his band, which is only going to drive him on to write some of the best stuff. I was saying to Liam the other night, 'You're only at, in reality, in pop history terms, around Sticky Fingers. The Stones are still on tour man. There's a long way to go yet.' "

Oasis are a good band, but their newest album just isn't that good.

It's got 3 solid songs, the rest are just filler.

It's nothing  compared to anything before it. Just not as good.

Liam looks burnt out as fuck!!! :peace:

dont compare him to Izzy either, thats a fkn insult!!

Funny how Liam's kid is listening to the Blur singer over Oasis  :rofl:

Saw them last night in Toronto, wow what an awesome show.

Just too bad they didnt play The Hindu Times, Roll With It, Stop Crying Your Heart Out or Little By Little.

During My Generation they brought like 3 girls on the stage who danced all around and shit and were punking shit. This one girl got Zak Starkeys towel, drumsticks, Liams tamborine, Noels guitar pick, the rest of her cliq got drum sticks as well. But wow so much punking of shit and another girl got Gems towel. They tried to take the set list but Noel snatched it away before they could get it.

did they play supersonic by any chance? heard its been re-called.

Yep they played Supersonic.

I saw them at Sheffield and they played Bring it on down instead

Any why the hell was Supersonic taken out of the setlist this tour??  I saw them a few times in the past 8 months and not seeing Supersonic this tour, kind of sucked.  They have so many great songs though, I guess it's not that big of a deal.

i thought it was a nice change, especially if Bring it on Down is the replacement!  ;D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuMl9cMFlRY&search=oasis%20live%20forever

12 years later, it still sounds unelievable? :drool:
What a wonderfull song...

It does sound amazing, you gotta love Oasis  : ok:

That is so damn good. I never saw it before. I love Oasis. I have all their albums. (Studio)

I didn't care for the newer album. It's only about 3-4 songs deep then it drops off.

Anyone interested in Oasis bootlegs?  I have a ton of them (dating back to 1989 demos) and would be willing to trade for other bands, etc.

There's already an oasis and a youtube thread already in this very same section  ::)

It's fantastic - I never heard it before.  I like it when you can hear singers use their real voices without any effects.

Well, since this was an Oasis related thread that wasn't locked or deleted, I felt that it fostered some thoughts of appropriateness  :hihi:

Yep, Oasis is great enough to have more than one thread in existence on this site. Live Forever is still amazing and will always be just that. Noel to this day, still says that Live Forever is his shining moment.  He also says that after he wrote it, he knew his music could have endless possibilities.  I just can't believe it's been 12 years since the release of Definitely Maybe.  That whole album is timeless and so are the rest of Oasis's albums.  I enjoy every single one and I find something to enjoy in at least every song, but I'm sure many people will disagree. Fuck 'em!  ;)

That's killer. I wish Axl would call the Gallaghers up and launch a rock n roll tour. Axl and Liam are my two fave singers. Here's a few clips where the lads mention Axl.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q1u-rURjwg
http://youtube.com/watch?v=RUwBzum68Wg

"because Axl Rose is completely fucking insane"   :rofl: :rofl:

lol so oasis like axl, or they like gnr as a whole?

The amount of oasis stuff which is stolen is astonishing.

They do not have a single album without other's material(all uncredited). All the best songs are from other bands;

wonderwall has the piano from the cure
supersonic has guitar riffs from george harrison and the smiths
what's the story nicks the music from rem
force of nature drums is from iggy pop
fucking in the bushes has the drums from little miss lover
C&A obviously nicks the riff from bolan
live forever comes from the rolling stones
lyla is the music and melody from street fighting man
meaning of soul is the melody from jumping jack flash
muck finger takes the music from the velvet underground
I could go on and on with about 80% of their material AND THAT IS NOT AN EXAGERATION!
The masterplan nicks it's strings and melody from taurus and bolan

They have a thread, you know...no need polluting this section




Oh, and you're wrong

No i'm not wrong;
I have the originals and the oasis tracks on my media player back to back!
Nearly very track OF EVERY ALBUM takes at least one instrument part from another song!

I'm actually not into oasis, but surely you can deconstruct the music of most rock bands and find stuff its similar to.

Yeah sure every one has done it a few times but Oasis have literally stolen 80% of all their material; NO JOKE!

Where have u lot been for 12 years?

Hello - we know.

Oasis know, its deliberate - Dont look back in ager has the piano intro from 'Imagine', and there's a dozen more

and?

They are obsessed with the Beatles - Liam claims to be John Lennon reincarnated :hihi: - its their way of doing a homage to bands they like

The amount of these threads we get - do people honestly think they are the first people in the world to notice?

After much speculation Oasis announce the final track listing for their definitive collection Stop The Clocks.

Unlike most albums of this nature, Oasis have sat down and undertaken the almost impossible job of picking what they consider to be their finest moments ever. So Stop The Clock is imbued with the sort of wilfulness that has helped make Oasis the favourite band of millions of people worldwide and its running order will no doubt provoke equal parts adulation and bar discussions from the millions of Oasis fans worldwide. Could it ever be any other way? Oasis have been at the helm of the world's music scene for over ten years and, on 20th November 2006 the first ever Oasis retrospective will draw together the years of multi platinum albums, Number One singles and, unique to Oasis, instantly familiar B sides into one 18 track double album entitled Stop the Clocks.

So here it is. The tracks as chosen by the band themselves - the songs they believe encapsulate their remarkable career to date.

Rock n Roll Star
Some Might Say
Talk Tonight
Lyla
The Importance of Being Idle
Wonderwall
Slide Away
Cigarettes & Alcohol
The Masterplan
Live Forever
Acquiesce
Supersonic
Half The World Away
Go Let It Out
Songbird
Morning Glory
Champagne Supernova
Don't Look Back In Anger

There 90s albums are just great, they were a great band, especially the first 2 albums. Great songs, sounded great live (however they just stood there like they do now lol which is boring)

i can see why they were so big, i just think they blew it by getting too big headed early on.

Oasis - main Road 1996 - Manchester. probbaly their best gig ever. Oasis at their very, very best. Watch that video. it's classic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwvoIPt5qYs

it's very impressive to hear a whole stadium singing along... people sing so loud...

Dawn, they were so great at that time!

Terrible, just terrible

Might as well have been assembled by someone who hates the band, the awful Layla and Talk Tonight instead of D'ya know what i mean and All around the world

Laughable

Talk tonight is an awesome tune, D'ya know what i mean and All around the world aren't anything special

I think the tracklisting is pretty good, but they did leave some notable songs out. I would have included D'You Know What I Mean, Whatever, Don't Go Away,  Where Did It All Go Wrong, The Hindu Times, and Roll With It. I think All Around The World is medicore but it would have made sense to include that, too. I love Talk Tonight (one of my fave  Oasis tunes) but I don't know how that and Half The World Away made it before any of the songs I mentioned. It's a 2 disc set so its disappointing they didn't add more songs.

i'm not gonna complain. my list would've probably seen half the songs listed replaced but i'm not bothered. if the band can honestly say this is what they want to have on their definitive collection then fair play to them.

I'm just pissed off that "Stop the Clocks" and "The Boy with the Blues" aren't on here. I won't be buying this album now as I already have everything on it. They should have at least thrown on their cover of "My Generation". I think Noel put this tracklisting together to hurt sales for Sony. How can they have a best of without "D'Ya Know What I Mean". I'm so pissed off about this compilation. Axl really needs to release Chinese Democracy soon. 

my thoughts exactly - the lack of any new material renders this release pointless, other than to end a dispute with the label....

Yeah, I don't get why Oasis didn't include Stop the Clocks on the cd titled Stop The Clocks. Very disappointing.

That does fucking suck. The only new thing on this CD will be a re-recorded version of Acquiesce, which to me isn't worth the money.  The whole idea of a greatest hits CD from Oasis pisses me off because I know that Noel NEVER wanted to release a GH until the bad was DONE.  He hates how bands sometimes have like 3 or more greatest hits albums. But of course Sony made him eat his words on that one and he has no choice now.  BTW, while we're on this Oasis topic, has anyone seen the movie 'Goal'??  Oasis did a few songs for this soundtrack and a couple of those were new mixes of Morning Glory and Cast No Shadow. The 'New' exclusive song to the soundtrack was 'Who Put the Weight of the World on My Shoulders', which I enjoy and if anyone needs a copy of it, PM me.  It's a Noel song by the way for those that don't have it (I know Izzy, you don't like Noel songs, or have they grown on you yet?).   ANYWAY, back to my reason for asking the question, I just saw the movie at the store on DVD and I didn't realize that it was that major of a release and just wondered if it was any good?? So if anyone here has seen it, let me know what you thought if you don't mind. Thanks.

noel's already made money from  other band's music; why not make more?

There is supposed to be a limited edition DVD with the GH so maybe that will make it worth it.  I wonder if the fact that Noel doesn't want to release a GH is the reason why he didn't include any new songs. I don't know why he chose Stop the Clocks as the title though when he knows the fans would be looking for that sonbg.

New Acquiesce video here: http://uk.launch.yahoo.com/

Pretty disappointing? :no:

Lord Slow Me Down clip here: http://mfile.akamai.com/1689/wmv/bmguk.download.akamai.com/1689/oasis/oasis_512k.asx 

Nah - Noel songs havent grown on me

Its Liam's delivery that makes the songs

Though Liam has lost his decent voice judging by DBTT...but if Axl can get it back then.....maybe....definetly maybe.....

I'm looking forward to watching their tour documentary "Lord Don't Slow Me Down". Noel and Liam are the funniest fuckers in rock.

Is Lord Don't Slow Me Down the bonus DVD with the greatest hits or is that being released seperate?

Ive seen Oasis in concert 5 times, and all 5 times they killed...a great band very underated here in the states

My fave band ever I love Oasis til the day I die!

I like Oasis :yes:, but this forthcoming so called greatest hits is really dissapointing: no songs from "Be here Now", "Whatever" is not included and no new songs :no:

Well I like OASIS music but I dont like the way they copied The Beatles style and at some point their haircuts.  :yes:   ;)

I love Oasis, i dont really listen to them that much anymore, but when definately mabye came out they were just so fukin cool. When i got into the stone roses i used to get really pissed off by the fact that liam ripped off Ian browns look/haircut/style etc. But at the end of the day, Oasis are a great band with great songs, at one time i thought they were goin to be the best band ever.

~ It's a damn fine album in my opinion. Some great tunes have been omitted but still a great list.
~ A good addition to any record collection.

 :beer:

It's a good addition to those that don't already have the albums with these songs on them.  Pick up the EP which in my opinion is much more worth it if you are a hardcore Oasis fan.  It's got the Cigs and Alcohol demo on it, a live version of Some Might Say and I think it's supposed to have a different version of Acquiece on it. 

But you really can't go wrong buying anything from Oasis, so buy them both and get the rest of the albums and DVD's while you're at it people!!

I already have this stuff but I'll get it to complete my collection. If you buy it at Best Buy they include the EP as a bonus.

I'm not gonna get it cause I already have "Definitely Maybe", "Morning Glory", "Be Here Now" and "The masterplan". Oh and why is it on two discs? Those songs would have probaly fitted on one disc.

You can read my review of it in the current issue of Total Guitar (Issue 156)  ;D

U getting paid for a post that is little more than an advert? ::)

Where is Whatever and Roll with it?

This release was deliberately poor as a way to get back at Sony, the band quit the label because Sony (rightly) called Dont believe the truth a load of crap and told them to go back into the studio (Layla wasnt even on the original cut and Sony demanded a 'single' so they went back to the studio and wrote that lazy tune

In revenge they ended their deal (with one album stipulation remaining) with a lazy best of that deliberately didnt include new material, i think there is even an interview going around with Noel where he says he wasnt going to give sony even a note of new music

Go buy the albums - at ?4.99 each its cheaper to buy the first three albums anyway

If they put it on 2 Discs they can charge more for it.

Actually... the song was written and recorded as a demo during the Heathen Chemistry sessions.

Folks would be better off getting the first two albums and Masterplan.  That's about all you need.  Then get someone to burn a cd with the best of the rest  :hihi:

'Whatever' is a glaring omission from this 'best of'.  Not on any albums, not sure if the single's available still (I got it a few years ago so maybe).  That's probably the first Oasis song I got into.

I got a postcard promo thing through the post for Stop The Clocks.  Had some message from Noel in there that he probably wrote under protest (while cashing a cheque probably).

i saw there new (?) video with a bucnh of japanese guys ???

Hilarious that the later albums feature so heavily, because lest face it 'songbird' is everyones fav Oasis track :nervous:

Um, they don't.

the record company released this, not Oasis.  therefore im not buyin, Oasis really didnt want a greatest hits, dunno if some of you have or have not heard that story.  because they were at the end of their contract with their previous record deal.

Yeah, Whatever is still available. Someone stole my original copy so I had to buy a new one last year.? I agree that it is a glaring omission along with all of the BHN singles, especially DYKWIM. I don't understand why they didn't includethose songs because they certainly could have fit them on 2 discs.


What are you talking about? 14 of the 18 tracks are from the DM/WTSMG era.

That is true - but they were still able to choose the tracklisting.

At first they didn't want to release a greatest hits but now they are promoting the hell out of it. Noel has been making appearances everywhere and has done a bunch of solo acoustic shows, which I already have recordings of some and as always they are amazing.

If you're an Oasis fan go out and buy the album to support them.  You get the EP for free when you buy it at Best Buy and you can't beat that. 

i think noel knows, that this isn't the best list but u gotta go threw the usual promo, u will hear a proper best of cd, when either liam and noel are dead.

Noel chose the tracks for this!

???

Support them?

U might as well have written - 'buy songs u already have to give them more money'

You get the EP for free if you buy it at Best Buy and you'll have better sounding tracks on this album then you did 10 or 12 years ago for DM and WTSMG.... to me that's worth it.  If it isn't to you then don't buy it.  People aren't going to buy it if they don't want to but my point was it doesn't make sense to not buy the album that you would otherwise buy, just because you think Oasis don't want it out.  I bought GN'R's greatest hits and I had all of those songs, so why is this different??  It's not and I get a free EP with a couple new versions of a few songs on it.

i think i'm the all-time number 1 fan of oasis...i've had books, imports, bootlegs, magazine cover collections, you name it.  at this point i am not planning to buy their new greatest hits, just cuz i'm not all that impressed with the track listing (like many fans).  but i do see the point of buying such a collection just to show support for your favorite unibrow brothers or whatever band you're really into.  it goes beyond giving them your $.  it's about showing you still appreciate them.

Well I guess I'm the number one fan of all-time now because I bought Stop the Clocks yesterday.  I paid $9.99 for it at Best Buy and got the EP for free.  10 dollars for 3 CD's is a great fucking deal and for that price I can't believe more people won't buy it. 

Oh and I was joking about the "Number one fan of all-time" shit.  I'm a big fan of this band and have been for over 10 years but to SERIOUSLY make a claim like that is really childish and rather silly.  THERE IS NO such thing as a number one fan as far as I'm concerned and that goes for any band.

I'm no Oasis fan. I mean, I like them.

But I'm no Oasis fan by virtue of the fact that I don't have enough albums.

Anyway. Noel's interview in this months Big Issue did make me laugh,

"Liam has two problems. Everything he fucking says, and everything he fucking does."

Noel Gallagher and Gem of Oasis will be performing an intimate semi-acoustic show to celebrate the release of Oasis Stop the Clocks best of album at Le Cabaret Sauvage Parc de la Villette, Paris on Tuesday November 28. This very special performance which first delighted fans and critics alike at Londons KoKo Club earlier this month, will be broadcast live on MSN from 10.00pm CET.

cool will be like oasis unplugged!

Mrlee if you're an Oasis fan I have a few shows Noel has done this month already with just him and Gem.  They are all acoustic if I remember correctly.  Because you are one of my best friends on here  ;)  PM me and I'll hook you up with a link.  I'm not being a dick or fucking with you either, I really will.  It's the season of giving and loving...

Classic sign of a band breaking up - the solo shows, the greatest hits, the run of ever worsening albums

Who bets we see a Noel Gallagher album out next year?

Probably as well if Oasis go their seperate way now, they lost what made them great

I don't think they are breaking up. The greatest hits was a decision made by the record company. Noel didn't want to do it but only got behind it so the fans wouldn't suffer because it was coming whether he liked it or not.

They aren't breaking up and won't for awhile.  We won't see a NG solo album for a long time yet.  The last album was well received and loved by a lot of people and I thought was great.  So I don't understand how they have "lost" anything??  Just because Izzy thinks that doesn't make it so and we will continue to see some great Oasis albums in the future.  I can't fucking wait and I'm glad they have a lot of time left in them.  I can only feel sorry for those that don't feel the same way... sucks to be them I guess.  : ok:

EDIT:  People that have been fans of Oasis for a long time know that a Noel solo show isn't a sign of anything.  It's happened 50 times and will happen 50 more.  Hardcore fans love to see Noel do a solo show anyway, especially acoustic, so more power to them.

hasnt noel already announced he plans on going solo?

hook me up with them man i love oasis!

Noel said years ago that it would be inevitable for him to put out a solo album.  Will it be soon though??  Not before the next Oasis album which could be out in 2007 but more likely 2008.  Noel says he has a ton of songs that aren't Oasis songs and I would fully support the idea of Noel doing something solo.  I'm a huge fan of Noel and the genius behind him and would love to get an oppurtunity to see him play solo in a more intimate setting than an Oasis show with 15,000 fans. 

Anything could happen though and the plans for Oasis change quite frequently.  When they say one thing... usually another happens.

New album in the works?

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2007/01/04/liam-gallagher-likes-fancy-bonnaroo-to-own-own-home-joel-madden-swears-he-owns-guns/

Thanks for posting that... it sounds promising. I'm a huge Oasis fan and like all of the albums but if they actually try to go in a different direction a little bit... I'm all for it.

errr..how much further can they go from their roots? They have already moved from away from their punk and guitar roots - they gonna get some synths in and try and copy Duran Duran? :hihi:

three letters:

zzz

Sad to say, but it might help.  Look at the resurgeance Duran Duran had when they went pseudo-adult contemporary and brought in a string section.  Me, I stopped listening after "Be Here Now."  I'd love to see them return to form, but I'm skeptical...

dont blame you  -though standing on the shoulders of giants is a great listen, but i wont deny i really didnt like it for a long time - after that, hell - its not even worth considering

Giants is probably my least favorite.  Again, I really love the first three, but after that...not so much.  "Don't Believe the Truth" showed me that the band still had a lot of potential and could be just as relevant, but they still have a way to go, in my opinion.  I hope they find their "voice" again on the new studio album...I'd love to have them back as a rock and roll force to be reckoned with, and I mean that in the best possible way.

I really think all the albums have their moments, Go let it out is great, so is litttle by little, the hindu times I think is awsome and don't believe the truth is a good album. It's not Physical Grafitti or Dark side of the moon but it ain't bullshit either

Be here now, was completely moaned about in the press for being over indulgent.

anyhow, i think DBTT sucks ass big time, i have no idea how they went so shit in the matter of a few years.

i think all there albums are good right up until that crappy attempt at modern indie came out.

Really like DBTT. Standing on the shoulders was aweful but all other Oasis albums have been 7 out of 10 or more

having just listened to shoulders of giants, i think its really good, i liked the change in direction, i liked the stoner influence that was input into the album, i just felt it was a good change.

Indeed

Personally - i think its time Oasis called it a day.

Dont believe the truth is just so awful i dont think they have anything left to offer as a band

yeah, personally i always wondered why they never built upon there style created on standing on the shoulders of giants.

i hated dont believe the truth also.

personally id like to hear noel do a solo album before they did go onto to do a new album. And liam needs a rest, he looked burnt out recently and his voice has really worn.

how can u say give up? it ain't dead till it's buried! and besides wheres the next generation of brit rock bands to replace them, and don't even mention the artic monkeys and any other indie disco shit that will phase out within a year!

i hate those bands just as much as you do, but oasis need  to continue to make good material if they wanna rank up high , i suppose in legend status, everyone can love DBTT because the magazine says so, but will it live out and have the impact there older albums have? nope.

mate they're already legends, they've sold 60 million albums and done it all. Im actually quite surprised to hear noel saying he wants to do a "fucking colossal album" hopefully he'll achieve what he wanted to achieve on be here now without being coked up, but still Be Here Now > life itself (http://www.the-soapbox.net/forums/style_emoticons/default/yes.gif)(http://www.the-soapbox.net/forums/style_emoticons/default/yes.gif)(http://www.the-soapbox.net/forums/style_emoticons/default/yes.gif)(http://www.the-soapbox.net/forums/style_emoticons/default/yes.gif)(http://www.the-soapbox.net/forums/style_emoticons/default/yes.gif)(http://www.the-soapbox.net/forums/style_emoticons/default/yes.gif)(http://www.the-soapbox.net/forums/style_emoticons/default/yes.gif)(http://www.the-soapbox.net/forums/style_emoticons/default/yes.gif)

maybe there following the concept route for the album, HOPE NOT!!!!

Oasis' Noel Gallagher is hoping to pull out all the stops when the band head into the studio to record their seventh studio LP later this year.

According to NME, the guitarist and chief songwriter is thinking big for the follow-up to 2005's huge-selling sixth LP, Dont Believe The Truth.

He told the weekly rock magazine: "All the tunes I've written recently have been on the kind of acoustic side, you know? But for the next record I really fancy doing a record where we just completely throw the kitchen sink at it.

"We havent done that since Be Here Now (the bands third LP). I'd like to get, like, a 100-piece orchestra and choirs and all that stuff.

"I think since Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants (the bands fourth LP) weve been trying to prove a point of just bass, drums, guitar and vocals nothing fancy. But I kind of like fancy! I'd like to make an absolutely colossal album.

And the Burnage rocker already has some songs in mind for the as-yet-untitled release.

Stop The Clocks

'Stop The Clocks' will eventually appear, then theres another one call 'I Wanna Live In A Dream In My Record Machine'.

It's about buying records, and I said to boys in Kasabian out in Ibiza, its kind of like a Champagne Supernova thing.

Noel also confirmed that just like on the previous release, the rest of the band will also contribute.

"Andy (Bell) and Liam (Gallagher) are writing stuff now, Im not sure what Andys songs are like, but Liams are kind of very Beatle-esque".

Apparently, one of Liams tracks has caught Noels ear in particular.

"'Boy With The Blues' could be as big or small as you want it to be. It could be like a gospel track or something".

Liam does gospel, now theres something to look forward to...

Didn't  Jarmo ban you?

no I was coked off me tits, and made a smooth swift exit. Im alright now though, cheers for asking xx.

So apparently there'll be an EP out later this year and a new album in 2008. Theres rumors of the band playing at Live Earth.

Does anyone know of any other touring plans for this year?

the band wont be playing at Live Earth - Liam refuses to be involved in charity work and refused to perform at Live 8

....normally i'd savage a band for such an attitude, but 99% of the bands there dont give a crap about the planet anyway and are doing it for the publicity - atleast Oasis are being honest

Yeah, so are the stones. Have you seen the list of performers for Live Earth? absolute crap, no good bands except for RHCP

I don't think Oasis has toured anywhere except for Toronto in Canada ever.  That would be a dream come true if they came to Edmonton as they are my next big band I want to see live before I die.

 I think they played in Vancouver a while back. Oasis fuckin own Toronto!

were oasis ever that big in america?

Not really, although Champagne Supernova had some chart success.

only coldplay have really had what you would call sucess, god know's why!

just the whole biggest band in the world thing in the 90s and i never really knew them to tour america often...so i was like hmm

I miss Oasis. I'd say they were pretty big in America at the time of Wonderwall and CS.

Yeah, I love these guys.  To any posters from the UK, what is the status of Oasis over there now? Still respected or seen as yesterdays news? Just curious as I've been listening to their first few albums a lot lately.

still a very respected band.

Although i thought there last album was a big pile of dog shit. But the rest of the public liked it and it was pretty successful.

I don't believe it.   Oasis is coming to Edmonton.  Just got row 3 floor tickets!!!!
