  • I wonder if they’ll play all the hits from their later albums?
    Not sure how you define later in this context but Hindu Times, Lyla and Importance of Being Idle were all number ones, so have to be in with a shout.

    A lot depends on if the rumoured November sessions produce a new album.

    I got tickets, in the end.

    High up in the stands, bit cheaper but a great view of the people, all the people, singing Champagne Supernova...

    It's about reliving a cultural moment, not some great bit of new music.  There are some fantastic new indie rock bands but the nature of the industry these days means it's unlikely there will be another Oasis.

    Some might say (snarff) that's a good thing, but at a rough guess there are a million or so Brits who are really quite stoked they are back.
    So glad you got some in the end mate! 
    Thanks, Mrs Ed deserves the credit she was very determined!

    Controversial opinion - Oasis never made even close to a bad album.

    Even their ropier records - and Heathen Chemistry IMO is probably the ropiest - have absolute solid gold classics on them, and even solid gold classics pissed away as B-sides.

    Be Here Now is so comically not-bad that it amazes me people's default opinion is that it is.  The production isn't great, but as Liam correctly points out, his voice never sounded better, and it has at least five or six really brilliant songs on it... and nobody can agree which six...

    Liam has done great work rehabilitating the scorned bits of Oasis' back catalogue, for example playing "Roll it Over" - the brilliant closer to SOTSOG - at Knebworth.  A song unjustly forgotten because it follows daft fail "I can See a Liar..."




    Thought it was interesting to hear Noel speak about the Be Here Now album. 
    “Instead of coming back to England and all going our separate ways, we decided to go into the studio with a load of songs that weren’t good enough for the first two records & we’re trying to make it sound important with strings and all that kind of thing”.

  • I thought it was pretty good (Liam's performance). Good he's still singing the songs in their original keys.

    Don't know what happened at the start of Supersonic though when the verse started. Also the non-sunglasses guitarist could barely be heard when playing the solos.

    He should have sung the Saudi national anthem for them.

    Yup - Noel has never liked Be Here Now since he sobered up before recording SOTSOG... 

    Doesn't mean he's right though - I always thought it was exactly the album I expected Oasis to make at the time, overblown, coke-addled and not as good as the first two?  Sure is, but it's still got (for me anyway) at least half a dozen brilliant songs on it.

  • I wonder if Liam had a monitoring issue, sounds out of tune and to be fair he's normally pretty much in tune.

    I don't think it matters too much if you are there, that many people will be singing you don't notice.

    I even thought Ian Brown sounded great at the Stone Roses reunion gigs, wasn't until I heard clips on youtube I realised how bad he was at some points, but with the crown singing, booze and nostalgia flowing it doesn't really mattter.

    I exected a lot worse when I watched these videos but Ive heard him a lot worse. Its like a weird jealousy that drags all the nasty comments out. I even found myself arguing on an iron maiden page defending Oasis. Such strange times we are in.

    The only time I ever saw Ian Brown live, it was boos that were drowning him out, but they weren't drowning him out because he was having a bit of a huff about something and storming off stage. Curiously, he was supporting the Manics who, when I saw them previously, had a huff and stormed off stage after someone lobbed booze at Nicky Wire. A bottle of chardonnay, apparently.

    Booze, boos, all adds up to getting huffy and storming off. :D

    Possibly, but if you listen to any of his recent gigs it's clear his range has gone. He's sticking to the same keys, but singing with much less variation which makes it almost monotone, and as many comments on YT have said, it's very karaoke like. What's clear also is that some fans couldn't care less and love it anyway, so each to their own.

    To be fair, he's in his 50s.

    If "still sounds like they did in their prime" was a requirement, no nostalgia act, including the Stones and Macca, would be allowed to tour.

    There's another thread running where everyone is gushing over a recent Gilmour performance where he manages to make the Comfy solo sound like a story about having an onion on his belt its so dull..  but he must be in his 70s, he has to fit in the tour around complaining he isn't getting his winter fuel payment.

    78. Gilmour, not Liam.

    McCartney doesn't sound great now, but he's 82. Check out his performance at Live 8 when he was a mere 63.

    Macca is a legend of course, as is Gilmour.

    My point is... we all get old! :)

  • LG is pretty young for his voice to be tailing off but I doubt his singing style or lifestyle, certainly in those days, was conducive to longevity.

    There's loads of professional singers who have kept great voices into middle and old age but they probably had better 
    technique and looked after their voices.  I don't think LG was ever about that, which is part of why people liked him in the first place.

    Liam has always had a problem with monitoring. He normally has 3 monitors, one in front of the mic stand  and one each side of it. He did try IEM's in the last days of Oasis, then went back to monitors. Then tried IEM's again, then back to monitors .. no idea what he does now. 
    The trouble with Liam is he wants to be onstage but experience the gig  like the crowd does. So everything has always been too loud and his voice has suffered to the point it's a bit wrecked now. 

    There is a danger he could lose his voice after 3 or 4 songs at the first gig of the reunion .. it's happened before

    USA dates announced with no dynamic pricing. Only British fans getting the shaft it seems.
    The band have clearly said that all ticket pricing is left entirely in the hands of management and promotors. It has been said by the management and promotors that it’s well known that dynamic pricing actually keeps tickets out of the hands of touts and therefore keeps pricing down. 

    The band have also said that there will be no dynamic pricing in the US, to avoid ‘the debacle in the UK’

    Count me as confused. And also not really bothered beyond hoping fans over here get some cash back.
