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.

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, 😕

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.

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!

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' ? 😱

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.

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

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!

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.

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

@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.

icanhandthemback Thu 29-Aug-24 16:59:27

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.

Ugly, sulky and can’t sing.

MissAdventure Thu 29-Aug-24 20:45:24

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

HomeAgain123 Thu 29-Aug-24 21:17:33

Excited for tickets fingers crossed , they’ve only got back together for the concerts ( big pay cheque 😂😂 of course) and for there mums happiness

That may be but it's hardly the role model I want to see from people to whom the young adore!

Oasis -what a misnomer!!! They should be called ‘Desert Storm ‘

Rock stars throughout the decades have hardly been what most people would call 'role models'!

That's hilarious!
Spot on, too.

Love it

That sums them up - uncouth!

MissAdventure Fri 30-Aug-24 09:19:33

It's really tickled me.
They've got it so right.

So funny not to say stuffy.

Just like the uproar when Elvis appeared on the scene. The Beatles with McCartney’s drug busts; The Stones etc.

Why should musicians, rock bands etc have to be role models?

As someone upthread stated it’s snobbery.

They’re going to rake in millions from these shows and if that upsets the stuffed shirts and pearl clutchers that’s a plus for me 😎

Yes, and I think they have a lot to answer for. 😁

Good luck 🤞 to anyone trying to buy tickets. I love the excitement of buying sought after gig tickets.

My son was playing at Reading festival on Sunday and stayed on to hear Liam’s set.. he enjoyed the music but said that Liam was ‘up himself ‘ to say the least. Hugely self important about the historic announcement that the Reading crowd were privileged to be hearing!

I’ve never seen Oasis although I did hear the Reading Festival 2000 gig loud and clear in my garden, long before they sorted out the sound system there.
It was brilliant, and I had wished I had been there, but my son was 3 then and my gigging stopped for a while.
