HeroesAndVillans Posted August 27 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27 Unbelievable to hear that they are back. Surprisingly I'll be more interested if they've got something new to stay in the studio to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The industry clearly can’t regulate itself so government intervention is required. The industry are the touts. The secondary selling websites are owned by the primary selling websites who are owned by... the big industry players. All they did was get the government to only allow themselves to be touts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I'm surprised by the lack of promotional material. I thought there would be interviews with them together, or a full photoshoot. Just that one photo so far... Makes me think they haven't buried the hatchet, they'll just merely tolerate each other for the money spinning tour.

You ask Will why he carries on and he says "It's a job" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I appreciate that objectivity is unlikely but is it Oasis? Currently it’s the vocalist and the songwriter. Is that all that is needed for it to be Oasis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lineup is not confirmed, but the rumour is that it’ll be Gem (Lead and backing guitar) from Oasis / HFB, Sharrock (drums) from Oasis / HFB, Mike Rowe (keyboards) from Oasis / HFB. Gem also did vocals on some later Oasis tracks and live. Bass is a big ??? but a lot seems to be being made that it’s the HFB and people not realising that they are mainly ex-Oasis band members.

Prince cancelled his entire planned european tour in 2014 due to the likes of Ticketmaster shifting tickets to their resell sites before going on sale to the public, since then his european gigs were all announced the day of the gigs and a low price first come first served at the box office of the venue. When I saw him at the O2 on his 21 nights tour each ticket was £31.21 and the aftershow was £25 flat rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Rolling Stones the Rolling Stones without Charlie? They’re definitely not without Mick. Likewise with Keef. Are Fleetwood Mac still Fleetwood Mac with Neil Finn on vocals instead of Buckingham? Could they not have the “Mac” part of the band and have a different bassist and still be Fleetwood Mac? I think it varies from band to band. For what it’s worth, Oasis are Noel and Liam. It would be nice to have Gem or whomever as some further connection but it’s the brothers and really it always has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there is an argument for Andy Bell because he did write a few of their later numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, coincidentally I just saw a story from the mirror on fb which basically said the picture looks shopped but the photographer confirmed they were together when it was taken (and that they were laughing joking with each other, despite what the pictures look like).
