    Absolutely, but saying a certain topic does not matter to you yet consistently post on said topic (whenever the topic arises) implies that it matters enough for you to keep posting about it

    can i re-raise? :pac:


    hopefully noel keeps belting out the classic interviews:

    Should i have specified. Oasis matter to me in no way whatsoever, what annoys me are comments lauding them or any band that imo are not worthy of them. I would have had the same reaction to pretty much any band if someone referred to them as they are being lauded on this thread.

    See it's interviews like that, that to me make them all gimmick and no substance. And it's been done before like most things about them.

    I'm sorry but i can think of very few bands that oasis have influenced. Matbe ocean colour scene or other such hum drums but to me and a lot of other people.


    Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, Coldplay, The Coral, Travis, The Coral, Glasvegas, Maroon 5, The Libertines and Pete Doherty, The Courteeners, Kasabian... I mean theres ****ing millions, the list could go and on, and thats just the ones that admit it. In fact I'd say most bands from this side of the world that came since that grew up through that whole Britpop era will have been influenced in some way by Oasis.

    Your statement is ludicrous.

    Lets be honest. Oasis wrote some great pop songs. Its beyond doubt. But how influential they are I dont know. Oasis were Oasis. They proved that a band with a decent enough song writer and an enigmatic front man could go far. But I think Radiohead have stretched the boundaries further in terms of how music is recorded.

    Yawn.Who cares?
    The further they stretched the boundaries the more the songwriting
    suffered.

    that list of yours is ridiculous, in fact it's in numerous interviews and almost every book i've read on the libs/doherty on how the can't stand oasis. You site brit pop, if you knew anything about the libertines they were a direct reaction to brit pop and the lack of quality music in the uk at the time. So unless you mean oasis negatively influenced them, you are incorrect.

    Arctic monkeys refused to comment on oasis when asked.


    Even coldplay a predominantly piano driven band - how on earth do you come to put them in there.

    I'll give you travis, kasabian, maroon 5 (:rolleyes:) et albut then they do fall under the pedantry tag i put on my original statement.

    HAHA, oh dear god... where did you pull this 'fact' from??

    Doherty covers Hello


    Doherty Queues for Oasis Album


    Doherty Covers Dont Look Back In Anger


    Doherty Covers Whatever


    Doherty Covers Wonderwall


    Carl Barat and Noel ("You inspired me greatly", and so on and so forth - Carl)


    etc, etc, ETC. I mean Carl taught Pete how to play the guitar to Oasis! What books were you reading??

    Also im positive Alex Turner has stated he got a guitar because of Oasis. Coldplay have also stated Oasis as an influence. I cant be bothered finding any more links, i mean its if not completely obvious by listening to all of them and the timelines involved then google it.

    You are just wrong, admit it.

    They may not have mattered to YOU, fair enough, but they quite clearly mattered a lot to a lot of people and influenced a vast amount of bands that have cropped up since.

    Know this isnt a thread about Radiohead but think the lyrics on Ok Computer were fairly solid.

    Delighted you shoved it back down his throat.

    A small amount don't like Oasis, lots don't mind them and even more love them. If they never mattered to you lordgoat why do you keep posting. Annoyed Radiohead never got the same recognition? Why why why in this world when something is popular is it deemed crap by a small amount of the 'i'm to cool to like anything popular' gang. Oasis matter to a lot of people and will matter for a long time too. I know lots of people who took up a guitar because they wanted to play the likes of Live Forever(the first song i ever learned to play) or Wonderwall. I'd like to hear who you think are the biggest influences in music in the last 15 years?

    No worries dude. Have Amnesiac. Lyrics not as distinguishable but still a great album I think. Back to Ok Computer. Johnny Greenwood's guitar solo on Paranoid Android. Does it for me everytime.

    The Soundtrack Of Our Lives did ... 3 TIMES :

    Behind The Music
    Origins Vol. 1
    Communion

    ... TSOOL are a perfect example of the road Oasis could have went down if they had bothered to push themselves just a nudge and take their finger off the "Auto Pilot" button

    No band has topped Morning Glory or Definitely maybe since and they still produced great music since then, its hard to beat perfection. Didn't think they actually would split, Nicole Appleton in the sun yesterday sayin they would go on till they're old men. I doubt never means never with the gallagher brothers though.
    Funeral by Arcade Fire I think comes very very close

    The levels of delusion demonstrated by Oasis fans in this thread is awe inspiring. Correct me if I'm wrong but do people actually believe them they'll be seen as anything other than a bunch of pub rockers in twenty years?

    Some people actually believe they are an influential band! Who and how have they influenced?

    Just as much delusion from the detractors.

    Definitely Maybe is fast approaching 20 years old.There seems to be plenty of reverence for it which i think will only grow with time.

    I think you and a few others around here should just deal with the fact that people are gonna continue to love Oasis no matter what sort of bull**** tags you try to give the band.

    I'm pretty confident that The View, The Artic Monkeys, The Enemy, and Kasabian would tell you that they were influenced by Oasis.

    The silence is deafening! :D Although I am expecting an eventual response saying that he was being ironic/sarcastic. ;)

    EDIT I had to switch off the Soccer AM one because I'm in a public place and would have looked like a weirdo laughing so hard. Those quotes were class! :D

    So he has covered a few Oasis songs. Has it influenced Pete Doherty's music. From what I have heard of Baby Shambles music very different.

    ahh but our friend and ruler lordgoat claimed that doherty "cant stand" oasis, now i would think that covering their songs fairly nullifies that ridiculous claim.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,402 ✭✭✭ Miller Nice Utensil

    Yes it has. Im trying hard not to give into the temptation of being sarcastic about this but in plain english you dont need to sound exactly like someone to have been influenced by them. If that was the case I wouldve sighted bands like OCS, The Bluetones, etc like lordgoat did but its not.

    Oasis would be just one of many many bands and people that would have influenced him.

    Didnt Peter also say that Dont Look Back Into The Sun was originally messing around with a merging of 'Dont Look Back In Anger' and 'Ride Into the Sun' by The Velvet Underground ?

    I mean theres just so many glaring things. The Libertines point.. like.. case closed, please.

    Dig up!!

    David Gray has attacked Oasis for failing to connect with fans at a music festival five years ago.


    The 'Fugitive' singer told The Sun that the band had not created any interesting music since their mid-1990s heyday.


    Gray said: "I saw Oasis at Glastonbury years ago and it was a total non-event. They failed to connect with the festival.


    "Also they haven't done anything musically interesting since their highest moment, which was over 15 years ago now."


    Of his own antics, he added: "The rock 'n' roll lifestyle isn't for me. After a weekend partying I need a week and a half to get over it.


    "Come Monday evening I'm watching costume dramas, eating a curry and maybe some mash then it's off for an early night."


    Oasis split last month when songwriter and guitarist Noel Gallagher announced that he was leaving the band.

    http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a177290/david-gray-oasis-were-uninteresting.html

    It's a new low when David Gray can accuse another musical act of being "uninteresting."


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    LOL the irony! David Gray - the musical equivalent of wallpaper - isn't one to talk about failing to connect with fans :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 preamp


    See at the end of the day, Oasis have 7 no. 1 albums, a back catalogue of B-Sides that any musician in the world would like to own, they fill every arena they play in, and sold out Slane, how many were there 85 - 90000 people?, I dont know but there was far more than 80000 in Slane.

    To put it lightly the facts dont lie, I hardly think Liam and Noel Gallagher could care what a bunch of people on the internet think of them to be honest. People will always be envious of what they dont or never will have/ acheive in their lives, so its easy for them to begrudge.

    Was it really necessary for that poster to post several you tube videos that seem to suggest that Doherty liked Oasis. One would have sufficed.
