Fuck Oasis

[Metallifuck]

anything rock (oasis) is just conceptually better than anything metal (manowar). No question asked. I've always seen heavy metal as a fake music.

That is the most retarted thing I've ever read.

Indeed,

Can't believe this thread is still going

If u like Manowar better than Oasis so be it, thats personal preference.

But,

If u think Manowar are some unbelievable metal band then thats clearly wrong.

Enjoy them, but don't pretend they are something their not.

And at the end of the day comparing these two bands is almost as gay as the way Manowar dress.....

Isn't that a matter of opinion?

Sure Manowar have some cheesy lyrics, but they have one of the best bass players in the world, and one of the most unique singers ever in eric adams.  Not to mention that their songs are just plain fun to listen to!

Mstter of opinion - possibly, but try to be objective - do u honestly think Manowar represent quality sufficient to justiy claims they have earth shattering albums?

How many bands have put out such albums - i'll just take a stab, is a Manowar album really of similiar quality to Dark Side of the moon or The Joshua Tree?

We all have bands we think are excellent - but at some point common sense has to intervene

A lot of music is clearly opinion - but there are also some things that are just not true - i.e a Spice Girls album being genuinely 'good'

If u want to maintain Manowar have done such amazing albums then u need proof, is their musical ability really of such a standard? Are the lyrics stunning?

Enjoy them, and leave it at that

[Skeletor]

is their musical ability really of such a standard?

Yes.

Are the lyrics stunning?

Yes.

 

Just out of interest, have you heard a single Manowar song? As far as I know you're a metal fan, so you might actually like it - even though at this point you'd never admit it

[estranged88]

I can honestly say that "Kings of Metal" is one of my all time favorite albums, I find the music far more exciting than U2 or Pink Floyd.

thats only my opinion, but manowar have had nowhere near that amount of exposure.  Manowar's cheesey lyrics are the only thing that holds them back from being one of the all time metal giants such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath.

From what ive heard of Manowar the riffage is alright but the lyrics are a joke! If i was creating a parody metal band Manowar lyrics would be the ones id use - its like a metal version of Spinal Tap!

Manowar
Brothers of Metal
 
   
Strike while the iron is hot

Steel is strongest so say we all

And if we all were not brothers of metal would we fall? - no -

They tried to test our spirit

They tasted steel before we were done

Grinding their bones into the dust of the past

All blown away like a shot from a gun



We cast our lot together four still stand as one

Here well remain forever till our kingdoms one



Brothers of metal

We are fighting with power and steel

Fighting for metal metal thats real

Brothers of metal will always be there

Standing together with hands in the air



Let us drink to the power drink to the sound

Thunder and metal are shaking the ground

Drink to your brothers who are never to fall

Were all brothers of metal here in the hall



Our hearts are filled with metal and masters we have none

And we will die for metal, metal heals, my son



Brothers of metal

We are fighting with power and steel

Fighting for metal metal thats real

Brothers of metal will always be there

Standing together with hands in the air



Let us drink to the power drink to the sound

Thunder and metal are shaking the ground

Drink to your brothers who are never to fall

Were all brothers of metal here in the hall



Brothers of metal

We are fighting with power and steel

Fighting for metal metal thats real

Brothers of metal will always be there

Standing together with hands in the air

 
 
Oh - and Oasis rock!

^That's from the '96 album 'Louder Than Hell', I really dislike that one. Definitely Manowar's worst record - though there is one funny moment there as well:
"The gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good / They said to play it louder than hell and we promised that we would"

There are bad lyrics on all albums, but that's the worst one. Otherwise they're usually quite alright, even if not exactly poetry. It works well with the music, and there really is some cool stuff there as well. To be honest, there aren't that many bands whose lyrics I'd enjoy reading just for the sake of it, it's usually good to get the audio too.

at the end of the day manowar would crush oasis physically and musically


lyrics aside, manowar make kick ass heavy metal, and the lyrics are fun to listen to, since when is rock n' roll meant to be taken seriously?

R U 10?

''MY band is tougher than ur band''

Puuulease

Just out of interest, have you heard a single Manowar song? As far as I know you're a metal fan, so you might actually like it - even though at this point you'd never admit it

I was leant a couple of albums a while back, all seemed a little silly to me. They aren't awful, but like i've tried to say don't claim they are something they ain't....

[Rob]

What's wrong with Brother's Of Metal?  I love that fucking song.  It makes me proud to be a metal fan.  The lyrics may be a bit cheesy, but who gives a fuck?  I'll take cheesy metal over the pussy rock of Oasis anyday.

[Skeletor]

What's wrong with Brother's Of Metal?? I love that fucking song.

It's alright, but compared to the material on the first 7 albums, it's fairly mediocre in my book.

Hows the surly offerings of the Gallagher's 'pussy rock'?

They are the most in ur face 24 carat bastards u could ever get in a studio, there songs just drip with confrontational lyrics, and they back it up

Ur not going to win any arguments with lies....

well i understand what he was saying...that their music is so far from reality it doesnt fit into the real world, doesnt deal with real world issues...people can identify with Oasis more because their lyrics are closer to real life...hence Manowar are fake...

exactly,like a badly made horror movie 

[estranged88]

wow you got me good, I get so offended when people call me 10

I prefer Manowar to oasis and pink floyd, what don't you get about that.  If it were the other way around and manowar had dissed oasis, I'm sure you would have something to say about it.

That's my opinion, and i can have that if i like. There is no need to try to tell me that one of my favorite bands is in some way inferior to one of yours.

Then my job here is done

It would be funny to read it

*Scratches head in bemusement* U've just said:

then u say

There is no need to try to tell me that one of my favorite bands is in some way inferior to one of yours

Are u a hypocrite or just stupid? So i can't do that...but its okay for u to do it?

[estranged88]

well to say that manowar could crush them physically is a fact, they are huge, and that part was a joke.

also you cannot deny that they are better musicians, therefore what i said was just.


I have no problem if you prefer oasis or U2, but you were the one who said manowar could never make an album as good as the joshua tree, and that to me is a matter of opinion, and wrong.

Seems i dont have 6000 posts on this board im going to leave it at that, you should really consider leaving your computer more often.

[2NaFish]

oh god, the good old you've got a lot of posts so you're sad line. Is that what you're resorting to? Well jarmo is the saddest bastard on this forum then. Why don't you write him a letter describing how he's wasting his life.

Wether or not manowar are better musicians is neither here nor there. It's a stone cold fact that buckethead could play anything slash could play - but that doesnt make him a better guitarist on that alone.

Just came my way, it's a recent interview with Noel and Liam (Filter magazine). They address the issue of talking about other bands (so angry Manowar fans check that out) and Noel talks about sounding like other bands. That will give you more understanding of Oasis than anything I could ever write.

--
Walk, it was nice of you to check that bootleg out. About Liam's voice, there's something different about the way he sings when compared to most singers. He sings very loud, he always blows his voice out when touring. The effect of that is that live (I don't mean bootlegs) he will basically just own the fucking place. I've had people say to me the same thing you're telling me now, and when I took them to see Oasis they were 'converted' (I don't like that word).
Check this small mp3 (3MB) for an acoustic version of Songbird for comparison:

About the 'not interested' thing, if you want to (highly recommended  ) you can check out the broadcast of one of their Manchester gigs this year. It's a bit more complete too than the Boston boot I posted before, and the mix sounds a lot better.
