The official Oasis topic.
Aloha !
This will be the official Oasis topic from now on. I know this band gets slagged off a lot of times, but it's just band you either dig, or you don't. Obviously I'm the one who digs them, very much I must say. If you dig this band, they're the band that make you feel invincible (and no, not in a gay Capt. Crashy-way) but really invincible. They're the band that make me feel ****ing invincible, they're the band that made me pick up the guitar again, made me start to write songs and are the band that have written the story of my life, with all the ups and downs I've had over the past 5 years. I think it's pretty safe to assume that 80% of all Bon Jovi fans have no interest in this band and see the Gallaghers as the most annoying thing Rock & Roll has to offer, but it's just part of the thing that is Oasis. Besides that, the Gallaghers are a lot more down to earth, honest than JBJ and co. are. And a lot more funny too, I must add. I can't name any band who releases a tour documentary and give their own audio commentary in the extra's during which they completely slagg off everything that is being shown. Only for that Lord Don't Slow Me Down is worth watching. Last night the demo's for Don't Believe The Truth have leaked. Including many of the songs that didn't make the album. And they're ****ing massive. After Oasis had recorded Don't Believe The Truth they kept saying how they had another album full of quality songs. And unlike most times, this time they actually had. Songs worth mentioning are a Liam-sung Lord Don't Slow Me Down and the original of Stop The Clocks. This is a song which Noel kept describing in interviews as the best thing he ever wrote (Though he says that quite often) and although it's not the best thing he ever wrote, it's certainly very good. If the next album will sound anything like the demo's that leaked yesterday, it'll be a brilliant album that again you'll either dig or hate. Hopefully they'll be up for it. The only thing that bugs me is that their set is always stays the same on a world tour, but apart from that, I'm ready for it. Or mad fer it, as they used to say and I wil be defending this band 'till the day I die. So c'mon, bite me! :p Salaam Aleikum, Sebastiaan |
Yep The Gallaghers dont take themselves anywhere near as seriously as what JBJ does. If you do a google search for quotes they are well funny or get hold of sibling rivelry :d
They def had the best 1st and 2nd albums ever in DF and Whats the story, I loved their attitude and listing to those albums makes me feel 15 again. Unfortunately their shows don't reflect their material, thats why i'd never see them twice on the same same tour. Fingers crossed for a great new album :) With the lack of good new music around at the moment I'm def looking forward to it. |
I have all their albums. They're probably one of the best Rock Bands in Britain :)

Yeah, don't mind a bit of Oasis. Don't know a lot of their stuff though. But my brother's pretty passionate about them, and Wonderwall was my graduation song for some reason (I thought it was either going to be Nickelback's "Photograph" which was huge at the time, or The Living End's "Prisoner of Society" which always got a run at school functions, but "Wonderwall" is pretty cool and sure beats "Photograph"!).

Their first two albums are killer, Be Here Now is good but not quite so good as the previous two. Standing On The Shoulder of Giants is different but still good. The last two albums however I find boring. Heathen Chemistry had some good songs but too many not so good songs IMO, and Don't Believe The Truth I only played once, maybe twice, when it first came out.

At the moment they're probably my favourite band. Unlike Jovi, I enjoy all their albums (though there's a fair bit of shite on Be Here Now and Standing On the Shoulder). Noel's the best songwriter of his generation, a ****ing genius.
The new demos kick arse. I prefer the live version of Stop the Clocks, but that song's awesome in the studio too, although my favourite is Record Machine. Liam's song is good too, though he's always gonna have to play second fiddle to Noel. ________ Kawasaki kdx220a |

That live version of Stop The Clocks reminds me of Noel's acoustic version of Setting Sun / Fade In/Out. And I agree. Although there's some shit on Be Here Now And SOTSOG, they're still very good albums in my opinion and piss all over Bon Jovi's latest efforts. Gas Panic alone owns all of Bounce.

Talking of Who Feels Love, in parts the live version of STC sounds alot like an acoustic version of it Noel did back when SOTSOG was released. ________ Honda civic (third generation) history |
I'm not a great lover, they've made a few good ones here and there.
Prefer Noels voice to Liams |
