Different market sector. Album sales and concert tours are where the guitar bands are at. Exactly and even more so the vinyl albums chart because that's where people have invested actual large amounts of money in physical media, there isn't a specific physical media chart as far as I'm aware but the vinyl one definitely shows the dedication to the particular act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 28 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28 And if you go to any local band gig or open mic night, 95% of the acts will be guitar based. You get the odd piano/keyboard/synth/backing track performer, but they remain a small minority. Guitars are portable, relatively cheap, and easy to learn the rudiments, which is why they retain their massive popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they haven't done it yet, it's next year Depends what you mean by "new" - The 1975's debut album was only released twelve months before theirs and they've been doing tours of that size for a few years now.

They're not though, they're playing the O2 and the genting, they're not stadiums either They're also top of the list with what I said with regards to guitar music going middle class, terrible band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 They’ve confirmed they will NOT be playing Glastonbury or any other festivals next year. Aligns with what I thought, nowhere near enough money in it for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Now, I know Simon is not everyone’s cup of tea. But I’ve stood with him at the footy, and I’ve hugged him at Furries gigs, and he’s ok. Guarniad Quote Noel plays his guitar as if he’s scared it will break, and Oasis’s funkless, sexless plod is always carefully pitched below the velocity at which fluid dynamics dictate that you might spill your lager. Quote Oasis are the band of choice for flag-shaggers and Reform voters Best read for entertainment value and as click bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
