Is anyone else fed up to the back teeth with all the hype over Oasis getting back together. Listening, reluctantly, to the bits of their "music" on the news, it is just a noise. Lyrics? are indistinguishable, and how can they be called the Greatest Song Writers?
OK,
I shall now retreat and wait for the backlash.

I think they cultivated that image, and milked it, as most artists do.

Ugly, sulky and can’t sing.

It isn't snobbery to think thuggish behaviour, brawling, insulting other countries, shop lifting, drug taking, etc, is the behaviour of a low life. They are anti-social beings who seem to think the rules are not for them. Their arrogance is breath taking.

@Rekarie

I don’t think is snobbishness, not with me anyway, am from a working class background not far from Manchester. But the Gallagher brothers did live up to people’s expectations of them being a couple of foul mouthed bad boys, swaggering around with egos bigger than their chart hits. It became their brand. They may have changed as they get older but imagine they will reprise the bad boy image if going on tour again.
Is just not something I like about them, nothing to do with class, where I grew up back in the day people were poorer than they ever were but they were proud and would never countenance anti social behaviour.

I've always thought Oasis were totally overrated, the subsequent solo ventures equally dull and the brothers' public antics unnecessary and puerile. However, Noel Gallagher's turn on Desert Island Discs completely changed my opinion of him as a person - I liked his choices and his conversation!

So pleased to read this!

Noel is very amusing and interesting. Liam also

These attitudes that they're low lives or whatever is just snobbery

How much are the tickets. I read on a Google news that they are £900 but maybe they're talking about if people buy them on the black market which is dodgy.

Depends on the venue - some seem to be starting from around the £75 mark, but some venues are more expensive than others.

Hoping to see them in Cardiff..............................

Funnily enough, I don't know a thing about them. But when I heard their music on the TV the other evening I recognised it as being the stuff my son used to listen to just before he left home 25 years ago. It made me very nostalgic and I have to admit to liking one or two of their songs. I've heard worse.

I’m not really familiar with their music but from what I’ve heard about them, a couple of tow rags comes to mind.

What....you've never watched 'the Royle Family' ? 😱

I said to my son not to buy tickets as they'll have split up again by 2025

Yes - apparently they're starting in Cardiff. If you really want to see them, I recommend going to that first one and make sure you're there for the first half. They might not make it to the second!

hamster58 Wed 28-Aug-24 17:00:21

I’m with you AuntieFlo. Don’t care for them or their music -it sounds like Beatles tone music which I also don’t like as to me it’s quite whiny. Totally respect others liking it though just can’t see why it’s such a big deal. They just seem like 2 bad tempered men who swear a lot, not my cup of tea.

Update: I've got through on the ballot!

Note to self: Don't get too excited, you know you won't get one grin

Well done 👏!! My daughter has as well, I'm still waiting on the confirmation email, 😕

SueEH Wed 28-Aug-24 15:49:48

I’ll be trying to get tickets for Manchester. I only know the first two albums well, but really love them - my life was then overtaken by children. My son wants to come too. He came with be to see The Eagles and the Doobies in June and tells everyone that he’s glad these he grew up in a house full of good music.

Very talented together and as solo artistes. Would love to see them just to relive those day. Knowing I'm considerably older and wasn't exactly in my youth (30s) during their heyday, might wait for the documentary to hit the cinemas.

The music journalists are reporting that none of the concerts will be filmed or televised, not sure if there will be a documentary.

Kate Bush never released a film of the concerts she did a few years ago. I was so disappointed as the shows were said to be amazing. Someone told me it was because she wasn’t happy with the quality of the film that had been made but I would have lived to have seen it
sad.

I'm not fed up at the moment, but I will be if I don't get tickets! 😄

I'd love to see them but prob unable to get a ticket esp near the front

icanhandthemback Wed 28-Aug-24 13:15:59

I don't mind their music but I won't feather their nests going to see them for, no doubt, outlandishly priced tickets. I hate their nastiness and their pride in their anti-social behaviour when they were growing up.

missdeke Wed 28-Aug-24 13:14:34

I really didliked Oasis, they have some great music and lyrics but the singer has the most awful drone of a voice he spoils it. Sick to death of hearing snippets of the drone on tv and radio.

MayBee70 Wed 28-Aug-24 12:45:16

I should like them, though. Maybe I’ll try to listen to more of their stuff. There are some groups like Bellowhead and The Waterboys that I love seeing live but never want to play their music. Watching a programme about The Kinks the other night I realised they’ve made numerous albums but I only know them from their singles.
