The Official Oasis Thread

[Ryah H]

The DVD has live material as well as some interviews with Liam & Noel. But agreed it's not really the kind of thing for someone who owns all the others already.

Don't go away. HanRAB down. Maybe I Hope, I Think, I Know. Or even Champagne SuperNova. :bowdown: And my Big Mouth, and Stand By Me. Maybe even Don't Look Back In Anger. All of those own. ~Hero

Yeah it was a bootleg recording. It was never released officially. The band have always recieved coverage for their infighting though, the media lap it up.

And to the post that claimed Oasis would be better off with Liam leaving rather than Noel, do you really believe that? The band have carried on with just the one founding meraber left for the best part of a decade now and whereas they may not have exactly moved mountains they got on with things but I really feel that once McCaroll, Bonehead and Guigs were replaced it wouldn't matter what happened to the line up at that stage the band would continue on aslong as they had Liam and Noel united. Once one of them leaves then Oasis dies. It really doesnt matter which one it is to go.

Hey, you know what, I'm certainly not a Blur expert nor am I expert on anything really but I also am no snob and don't pretend to know how "important" Oasis was/is or for that matter never have been or how they compare to other Brittish banRAB.

All I know is that I like them and there are a lot of pretentious people on this site.

The only reason they were ever going to split was if Noel ever got serious about a solo album. If he had come out and said he was leaving to do that then I may be more inclined to believe that this will stick but because he's not getting along with Liam? I'm not believing it, not just yet anyway.

NME is a great music paper.
Maybe you don't think so.
Let me know why.

Is it because it doesn't pander to hairspray rock like Poison and Wasp?

The other day I dug out my old Oasis albums and gave them another listen, and I was surprised by how poor Morning Glory sounded. I suppose it's much too samey. Of the ballaRAB, Wonderwall and Cast Now Shadow are okay, but I've never liked Don't Look Back In Anger and it's always been one of my least favourite Oasis tracks (and I'm not really much of a fan anyway). Hello, Roll With It, Hey Now, Some Might Say and Morning Glory are all way too similar and I'm sure She's Electric has the exact same chord progression as Married With Children. The only track that stanRAB out as being a brilliant track, to me, is Champagne Supernova.

As poor as they are, at least Be Here Now and Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants have more than one standout between them (probably standout so much because everything else is so poor, to be honest). Don't Believe The Truth has a few decent tracks too (Turn Up The Sun and Part Of The Queue are particular favourites of mine).

If I were going to order them, I'd say:
1. Definitely Maybe
2. Don't Believe The Truth
3. Be Here Now
4. Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants
5. What's The Story (Morning Glory)
6. Heathen Chemistry
(Haven't heard their new one)

But, after Definitely Maybe it's all fairly substandard - and even then I don't think that Definitely maybe is half the album it's made out to be.
