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.

Glad you all enjoyed Oasis by Hale & Pace. They also did a Cliff Richard Summer Holiday one which was hilarious. Spot on! In fact they were incredibly talented and funny for the first few series, so many brilliant sketches.

NotAGran55 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!

That doesn't surprise me. I noticed a couple of his interviews on You Tube while I was on there and his whole demeanour creeps me out. There's something really unpleasant about him, I don't think it's just an image he's cultivated.

love the Hale and Pace rip off smile

Just watched The Hale & Pace video. Brilliant, had me laughing out loud 😂

I listened to their music back in the day.

All this hoo hah has inspired me to listen to some of it again at some point, but there is no way I would be interested in going to see them live.

A pair of uncouth yobbos, particularly Liam, who had all the talent of a crisp packet. I much preferred Blur, whose music was far more entertaining and whose lead singer didn't think he was the hardest man on earth.

It’s all a money grabbing exercise

I quite liked them back in the day. I played them when I was pregnant with my son, who grew up to be a fan. I won't be getting tickets, but he and DIL hope to.

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, 😕

Well, I didn't get anywhere with the ballot!

I hope you and your daughter had better luck.

Doodledog Fri 30-Aug-24 17:53:34

Oh, I thought the ballot started on Saturday. Oh well, I'm sure my son knows what he's doing.

I never liked them the first time round and honestly could not name one of their songs. But them Im not a pop music aficionado.

Andy Burnham was on Sky news in raptures about them. He was like a kid with a bag of sweets.

Doodledog Sat 31-Aug-24 14:49:54

I can imagine that grin. They are very 'blokey'.

My son finally got through to get a ticket, but the prices had gone up to something ridiculous and he didn't bother. He saw them years ago as a student in Manchester, and said he enjoyed it, but not enough to pay hundreds of pounds to repeat the experience.

This (and similar) is coming up on all my social media feeds 😁

I liked some of what Oasis did, but have no desire to see them live. I much preferred (and still do) Pulp, Blur and Suede.

Doodledog Sat 31-Aug-24 18:58:56

Me too. Suede is one of my favourite bands of all time. As is Pulp. Blur, less so, but they are ok. All the Oasis hype has given me a series of earworms though. Tonight's is Cigarettes and Alcohol.
