When they came along, I was relieved to see the emergence of a guitar-based (loud, but melodic) pop-rock band, after the rap, dance and synths horrors of the 80s. Slade without the glitter, and an openly acknowledged debt to The Beatles - what's not to like? Breath of fresh air, I thought. I even bought their first two albums. The novelty soon faded. They started recycling their limited repertoire, and the brotherly squabbles soon got boring. Never saw them live, no desire to. But I get why people like them - especially if you were a kid in the 90s. For those who enjoy - enjoy. Yep my thoughts exactly. Loved some of the big numbers so understand the cult-ness they got but the novelty soon faded for me. It’ll be interesting to see if they fulfil all the dates without a big squabble between the brothers or worse that somebody completely walks… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less drugs and booze nowadays for them which will help . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being older and less influenced by drugs and booze, in a different era might take that aura from them. I certainly hope not for the fans that love them and will be going to the gigs.

Based on what I've seen from Liam solo it doesn't Noel has an older audience and tweaks the sound of the oasis songs (wonderwall feels influenced by the Ryan Adams cover) which means he does The thing with these shows is I don't think anyone will be under any illusion as to what they are, it'll be a tear up, that's both a good thing and a bad thing, I can't imagine there's many guys in their late 40s thinking of taking their wives and being upset that it's rowdy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point but I think they just have this natural magic between them at times and with it being so long I think they’ll kill it. Surely they ain’t stupid enough to **** it up and only Liam could do this I think but we’ll see. They both still enjoy a drink and think Liam still dabbles.

Nothing worse than releasing dozens in 1 go then deal with the publicity that they aren’t selling out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 This will be huge in the UK . You’re talking Taylor Swift levels and probably then some . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen them a few times and it really is pot luck which “Oasis” turn up. I was really excited to see them at Old Trafford cricket ground and they were terrible. Neither brother seemed like they wanted to be there. They did the bare minimum and then just got of the stage as quickly as possible. Other times yes, they looked up for it. The other thing is that they never really have any sort of stage show. Unlike Coldplay, U2, Taylor Swift, Take That etc. They are literally going to stand there, play the songs and then go again.

Genie Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 It’s interesting that the promo images are just the 2 of them. No sign of the rest of the band. The media will probably start tomorrow on “rows erupt as the Gallagher brothers cannot agree on who will join them”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why people ain’t arsed about them now especially after a few bad shows they witnessed but demand from all different age groups will be massive . Lad culture X a million which sounds awful . I kind of like that aspect of them in terms of going on stage doing your songs and that’s it. A big light show wouldn’t suit them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
