I always liked them but only as a casual fan. I didn't own everything they recorded etc. Then I went to see them live around 2000. They did a dual show with The Black Crowes at Radio City Music Hall. They were ****ing awful - boring - boring - boring. The Black Crowes wiped up the stage with them. Needless to say, after that I didn't continue to pursue listening to their music.

However Seb, you have posted quite a heartfelt defense of them. Since I tend to share many of your musical opinions I will give them another listen. I like their sound most of the time but the live show really turned me off.

That tour they did with the Black Crowes wasn't exactly a brilliant tour either. It was a tour on which they both were in the middle of a divorce if I remember correctly and their latest album had failed, both critically and among fans, and they thought their own album wasn't as good as they thought. In fact, the era 1998-2001 is a bit like a blur, most shows were shit and included many fall outs because they got caught up in their own hype. 2002 was the year when the tide was turning and Oasis got back to form.

Also, the crowd is a big part of an Oasis experience. If the crowd is shit, the show is shit. They're being fed by the energy of the crowd. And an American crowd just isn't up for Oasis. Sad but true. You should check out youtube and check these things:


Those performances show that when Oasis are on the peak of their form they're immense. There's no band I've seen that gets a crowd going like Oasis does in the UK. Yes, Bon Jovi's got their Prayer and Bad Name's, but never, ever, does a crowd lose it there like they do when Oasis perform Cigarettes & Alcohol. When they're performing for a British crowd it changes the whole show. I think it's a bit like Bon Jovi playing in New Jersey. It's a different experience.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Funny thing is, Seb, 'Supersonic' is probably one of my least favourite popular Oasis tracks.

And I think Liam is often quite dreadful live, especially the two times I have seen them play personally. Seeing Noel doing Dont look back in Anger when I saw them on the HC tour however had the same effect on me as first seeing Richie doing I'll be there for you - I thought both times ''Shit, he can sing better than the other guy!'' and was actually the main highlight of the gig for me. I'm a big Noel fan, and of my top 5 Oasis songs, 4 of them are ones that Noel sings (Master Plan, Sunday morning call, Dont look back in anger and Importance of being idle). The other being Live forever, and then closely followed by Noel again with Little by little.

How do people here rate Heathen Chemistry? I've been listening to that album alot recently, and it's probably my favourite Oasis post-2000 album.

I really liked the first album. Was lucky enough to get tickets for the Cliffs Pavilion gig and the Rock 'n Roll Star video taping as my husband (boyfriend at the time) lived just round the corner from the venue, but I came away really disappointed with them live. I don't think the sound in the place helped, they were so distorted. I have never actually seen the tape of this gig. I'd quite like to see it now to see if it sounds better than I remember. Never really followed them since as that gig put me off!

I dig Oasis a lot! The first 3 albums just blew me off my feet. Awesome albums. They've been a bit up and down IMO regarding the later albums but I really like Heathen Chemistry.
Saw them live in 2002 in Stockholm and that show was absolutely brilliant! Liam was in his best mood.

I'm not too keen on the studio version but the live versions of the song they did during the Be Here Now and SOTSOG tours were what got me into Oasis.

I know. He still thinks he's the bollocks though but I think it was Noel who called him a pub singer at best after his vocal performance on the Brit Awards. On Oasis forums they call him Kermit The Frog when he's giving a shit performance. Sadly, that's quite often lately. I don't get it though, he sounds brilliant on every demo, even the ones that aren't worked on. Hopefully he'll sort it but I'm not getting my hopes up with that guy.

I still remember where I heard The Hindu Times for the first time and thought it was shit. It wasn't untill I had bought the single that I realized how brillaint the song was, and that b-side Idler's Dream is a true beauty.

Heathen Chemistry is the first original Oasis album I bought and what made me a fan. It's the album that made me buy their entire back catalogue in probable less than a month. Back then I used to play Heathen Chemistry about 3 times a day, on my busdrive to school, during college lessons and on the busdrive home. All on the good old DiscMan. Although I nowadays am able to see it wasn't as brilliant as I thought it was there's still a lot of top songs on it. I still feel it's underrated. The Hindu Times, Stop Crying Your Heart Out, Little By Little, all quality songs.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I don't mind quite a few of their tunes, but besides that I think they're losers and they know it. That's why they behave like they do.

If I'd actually believe that they are able to do so, I'd say, sadly, they did too good a job on you.

LMAO. There are not many in the business that are as big and more down to earth than Bon Jovi, and the Gallaghers fore sure ain't in that list.
