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.

Some hilarious comments here, really great !!

I'm fed up with this reunion already, always thought they were obnoxious, sweary, leery, scowling miseries. That nauseating whine Liam makes whilst trying to eat the microphone just makes my toes curl. I don't go for the bad boy image and their miserable faces are a real turn off.

Just saw a little piece on You Tube about some 60s bands which have disappeared, The Association, The Zombies, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Turtles. All sang and played so well and had some great songs. Makes you realise how bad Oasis were!

Whatever we may say about their shenanigans, there's no doubt that their music is very powerful with some good lyrics. Millions loved them, and will again next year. (That's if they are still together!). 😁

It’s just rock and roll! The anthems of my children’s teenage years. I love their songs and saw them in Manchester many years ago. I’m on ticket duty on Sat along with my family. I won’t be going but happy to help. Surely it’s nice to have a bit of light relief on the news. Just let it be (sorry, wrong band 😉)

Doesn’t it worry you they may read these comments and be mortified?

I think they might laugh! I doubt they'll be crying their hearts out or looking back in anger - they'd probably tell us to get off your high horse, ladies

Good Grief! You’re all at it again. I thought Sam Smith at the Proms was bad enough.

I can fully understand the excitement of their fans even though I’m of a different generation.

Rock and Roll innit? 😂

🤣🤣🤣

@tickingbird
Believe me the Gallagher brothers have courted bad publicity, they love the ‘bad boys’ label many have given them, and live up to it on every occasion, so I doubt they would bother about a few less than glowing comments on Gransnet, they have been called much worse and revelled in it.
Is all part of their brand.

I saw a bit of whichever brother it was (Liam?) at Reading and was surprised how bad he was. Certainly couldn't see why the Beeb broadcast him instead of The Prodigy. They once did a couple of good songs but I can't say I've missed them since they split.

Sorry tickingbird but I can't imagine the brothers ever being mortified by the opinions of some elderly ladies.

What nasty, bitter sounding comments.

“Two chavvy blokes”. “Sang a few rock songs”.

Sold millions of albums, sold out stadiums. Noel wrote the songs and some are classics.

Not my favourites but to dismiss them as chavs, lumpish blokes etc is nonsense.

Strange how comments about H&M or certain politicians (usually Labour) are greeted with cries of “how unpleasant” “so nasty” blah blah but two working class lads who’ve done very well for themselves can be described as chavs and lumps. Doesn’t it worry you they may read these comments and be mortified? You seem to think it matters with everyone else.

Lomo123 Tue 27-Aug-24 20:37:25

Can't say I'm bothered about them but OH was ranting and raving about the fact it was headline news this morning. Think the word he used was chavs.

Babs03 Tue 27-Aug-24 20:25:17

The Gallagher brothers are rather pointless in my opinion, the way they swagger around swearing for the sake of it, like a couple of attention seeking teens - even at their present age, puts my teeth on edge. But they do have lots of fans who would probs love to see them perform. I wouldn't go to the bottom of the stairs for them.
I suppose is a slow week for news.

Visgir1 Tue 27-Aug-24 20:23:47

Well I'm going to try and get tickets for Wembley. Not my all time favourites but they were good.

I always thought them not speaking to each other was all hype to keep them in the News?

My AC are fans as is my sister, I really like some of their tracks.

No doubt all/some will try for tickets.

I would not like to be judged on my music taste, so I do not and will not judge others.

This, in a nutshell. I'm not a particular fan of Oasis, but it is big news in the music world. Tickets will sell like hot cakes.

Treebee Tue 27-Aug-24 20:19:54

Yes, fed up, really not news. I like their music as it’s Beatle-inspired, but I have no time for Noel or Liam.

I’m not bothered if people like them or not but is I hardly big National news !

Ziplok Tue 27-Aug-24 20:04:04

I agree Auntieflo - sick to the back teeth of the news being dominated by this “ non news”.
Never liked them in the 90’s early 00’s. It’s a lot of hype, and it’s quite possible they’ll split again before they even get going.

Jaxjacky Tue 27-Aug-24 19:53:26

It’s big news for that generation, both of my children, in their 30’s like them, but don’t necessarily like the music I do, so I respect that.

They are awful people and surprised that BBC spent so much time raving over them this morning. Maybe not surprised as the BBC has gone down in my estimation.
