The Courteeners Can't claim to be a big fan or know much of their stuff but it was a great moment when they played that song at the end of the Coventry game with the kids. I'd have played Paul Hardcastle, which is why I do what I do and I'm not on the wheels of steel at the Wanderers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In massive gigs, you land and get taken to the stage, the helicopter doesn't land two yards out from the stage. Also Kenbworth is a massive country estate.

No but the biggest band in the country don't sit in Mini buses trying to weave through 250,000 people leaving a gig , and that's what Mick is saying happened . Also don't you think the Helicopter and all the celebrity hangers on's Helicopters would land away from the mass crowds like behind the stage or in an area to the side ?

I'm calling bullshit on this one as well. I was there on the Saturday. Walked an hour back to nearest train station past cars which were completely gridlocked and at least two helicopters left. My dad was known to go on about his mate Keith who flew Anneka Rice around for Treasure Hunt from his time in RN so was source of amusement to my mates. Fecking mental scenes at the branch line style station as 10's of thousands descended upon it trying to get back to that there London village. By time we got back to Euston only thing found open was a dodgy reggae club. Whiled away few hours till tubes started up again. ...and yep they were shite on the day apart from John Squire coming on and wigging out on Champagne Supernova. The Chemicals in mid afternoon and Prodigy made the most of the sound system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great line up of bands though and in fairness it was probably 125,000 people each night so I got that wrong but driving from the gigs through the crowds , I'm personally finding that strange.

Caught on to SR on Elephant Stone so got to Blackpool, Ally Pally and Spike Island. The thought you were part of something potentially uge was amazing. Oasis happened so fast every twat in the country was on them in a flash giving birth to the lad singalong hell that large gigs have become. Feck me I'm old, but not too old to take lads to Charlatans in Dec and to see new band Pastel who I reckon will be next big guitar band support Affleck's Palace (originals band for Total Stone Rose's lads) Now wheres me flares Edited May 13, 2021 by green genie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's not a compliment. Well, his sold out gigs, number 1 albums / releases....TV gig viewing numbers, virtual ticket sales numbers say otherwise.

Sweep Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I've not followed this thread for a few days, I'm assuming that the current situation is as follows: @Youri McAnespiedoesn't like Oasis, and thinks they're biz @Not in Crawleyis suggesting that Blur are better than Oasis @Rudythinks Cannibal Corpse are the greatest band of all time @Pablowould happily have BUMFUN with Liam Gallagher Everybody else thinks Oasis are ace, but are aware that they were certainly "of their time" but aren't as "ground breaking" as some would have you believe, unlike The Happy Mondays or Art & Garfunkel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I thought Definitely Maybe & Morning Glory were excellent albums, since then they've done the odd great song but most of their stuff has been pretty bland.
