I love that wokka-chokka stuff Nile Rodgers does.

I just love Nile Rodgers, proper cool that man. If I don't get to Glastonbury before he drops I'm not gonna be a happy woman. 

All Them Witches - now that's a fucking amazing band.

Bernard drove Chic. What a bassist, then Nile Rodgers chukka guitar - perfect, if you don't dance to it you're dead inside

Slap bass odyssey.

Have to say after not listen to Maiden after being,  a massive fan when I was younger I've been listening to them loads. The great thing about being older is you don't give a crap and enjoy what you want.

Them and AC/DC have been playing a lot in my ears lately even though I never really listened to them when I was younger, was more into funk/industrial metal than hard rock back then 

Oasis were fucking brilliant and one of the greatest bands to walk this planet. 

Never get tired of their songs. Some absolute peaches. 

Fair enough if you don’t like their stuff but surely you have to respect what they did? The started a whole generation of music and created an era that’s probably not been since.

Now AC/DC live is a sight to behold.

The one on the left would bum you

bloke at the front would chop you into 40 pieces

bloke on the right would eat you and shit you out

 2 blokes at the back would share the turds equally and eat you again.

 

That's not a classic line-up.

Too much too young.

Oasis were crap.

I reckon Deborah Harry had a huge bush.

Oasis brought out two ground breaking albums. Changed the music world. Good on them

Followed them up with three half decent albums.

Disappeared up their own arse after about 2005

Noel became a self important cunt, Liam became a Simpsons character

But those first two albums……

Correct mate. One lad had a coffin style backpack. He said to me that my soul was dirty. I said souls don’t exist. 
So he bought it off me for a £5 and a bottle of Mad Dog and are the piece of paper. Weird cunt

Definitely maybe

Whats the story

Masterplan 

 

Be here now yeah I’m not having it but apart from that the rest of their albums are littered with fuckin belters. 
Dig out your soul album is quality and their best since The Masterplan.

Watching them live was another a level. 50,000 people singing Champagne Supernova on a hot summers night all day in the ale is as close to unified happiness I’ll ever witness outside of a football stadium

One decent album and even that was mainly full of ripped off songs. Became a novelty band.

Used to prefer them to Blur but as I've got older and wiser I've realised Blur wrote songs the Noel could only dream about.

even better than when you came to the FistMaster3000 launch on the summer of '17 (the final event at the inaugural FistFest) , when over 10K of us, atop Winter Hill, all inserted at the same time, it took that much power out of the grid, that every TV in the land flickered for a couple of seconds, and the collective hum was enough to send shockwaves through the atmosphere that sent sonar reliant animals wildly off course for several hours?

I'm.not having Oasis' albums were groundbreaking, they came after a period of musical dominance from America and were certainly in the right place at the right time, but I'd say that Britpop really started with Modern Life is Rubbish and the single Popscene and then Suede came with their now infamous 'Yanks go home' cover after they had played at the Brits. What Oasis did was drag an indie movement into the limelight by being more palatable to people who weren't going to buy Animal Nitrate or Sunday, Sunday. As Noel said at the time, "Maybe if you live in London and are a pantomime horse, then it means something to you." But just as important as Oasis' music was the fact they were more relatable to people who previously weren't buying guitar based music. They liked football, drugs, going out and girls. Then everyone else followed (Damon's 'love' of Chelsea always seemed fake)

Then the labels decended onto Camden and Manchester trying to sign every band with a feather cut. By 97 it was over but great things did come of it, Verve finally getting the recognition they deserved for one thing.

Personally, combine all their output and you've got one decent album, but if you look at what some.like Damon Albarn has done since, it's amazing or even yes, the Mondays who were genuine innovators. I get writing a simple.song that thousands of people love is a bloody difficult thing to do, but looking back I just can't see Oasis being mentioned musically in the same breath as some.of their peers.
