Oasis

[Booker Floyd]

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.

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."

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.

[noonespecial]

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

[lennonisgod]

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!

[Slashly]

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

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.

[Booker Floyd]

Great news...

Hopefully well see a full-fledged Oasis comeback. 

[Acquiesce]

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.

[Is he struggling?]

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

[grendood]

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

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

[Acquiesce]

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.

[Booker Floyd]

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

[Acquiesce]

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.
