I don't understand why the split of this band warrants a thread. The band were terrible in recent times. The lead singer is a pri©k and Noel deserved better.

I'm glad their broke up and while Noel will still continue to rock, Liam will go down in flames like his little band.

i have a lot of respect for noel. (so does many others when asked to pitch against his idiot brother) when i was younger, i taught liam was teh f*cking bomb, but he has not grown up and is a pure tw*t. i would not mind but half the time he is playing up (eg when he son was born and picked a fight with some photographer outside the hospital for no reason - compare that to teh reception when david beckham went outside to speak to the press when his missus gave birth - shortly around this time)

if word is true that liam was insulting to family members of another bandmates well to hell with him. whatever about picking on the band, surely innocent family members is not on.

Hope noel does well in solo work. a lot of his acoustic b sides and unreleased stuff was brilliant. Surely he will have much to sing about now. I hope gem stays along with him. those semi acoustic gigs during 2006-2007 are surely the two finger salute to those who doubted him

I would not rule liam out yet as far as musical success. (snigger) if he drops that john lennon nonsense style, and get someone like liam howlett around, he maybe ok. Not manner taight the mighty ian brown would make it after the stone roses. Then of course, liam is going into fashion (snigger snigger)

i hope both do well in their own right.

Well I think Noel will do well whatever he does. Everyone knows what a good guitarist he is. Think the band needs a few years off and then lets see what happens from there.

Noels no guitar whizz and even he knows it. What he is though is a very competent guitarist and has a knack for writing melodies that stick in your head.

Completely agree, he looks clunky and awkward when playing, but fcuk it, youre dead right about the writing, and he doesnt even need to be a great guitarist.

Fact is Oasis were and are the most important and influential band in a long long time, they were and are a band that fall into the category of you either love them or you hate them, If any other major band split (with exception of U2) you would have a thread like this, but you wouldnt get as many people posting about how ****e they were because other than Oasis and u2 no band around is that relevant. For example if radiohead or coldplay split there would just be fans saying how terrible it is and how great they were, you wouldnt get fans of other bands coming on to slag them off the way some on here have. Oasis mattered to everyone in music whether you liked them or not and i think this thread prooves that. As for the 3 chord argument Columbia is the only Oasis song i can think of right now that has 3 chords and its a ****ing great tune, maybe some more bands should try writing songs with the proverbial 3 chords, No one wants to get the log tables out to figure out a song, It's Rock 'N' Roll no rocket science.

Dave! · 03-09-2009 8:28am

Noel is Oasis, so I'm not too concerned about them breaking up tbh. Always preferred listening to him playing acoustically than the whole band (+ Liam singing...).

So I'll eagerly await Noel's solo career and collaborations with Weller, OCS, etc., and hopefully he'll come to Dublin so I can see him

Columbia is a cracking tune, probably one of my faves from Oasis, but they never influenced me musically, nor U2 for that matter. Oasis don't even come up on the radar for lots of people, fact is majority of folk don't care about Oasis or if they are dead or alive...Radiohead also get a fair amount of stick about being pretentious etc., but I'd take them anyday over Oasis. Give me interesting original sounding music, but that;s just me..

Yes give a bit of credit here. It seems that Noel did pretty much in terms of song writing and arrangements here. And the band stayed together for 18 years. Good going all things considered. But yeah Radiohead have been way more consistent. And I think are more creative musically

What a load of crap. That is the most idiotic statement i have seen posted on boards.

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. They were nothing but two-beat peddlers of the same wares for almost two decades. And fair play if you can get away with it, but give me substance over that any day of the week. I can safely say that Oasis have never mattered to me. I saw them getting boo off stage at slane in 1995, they were crap then and in my opinion have consistently lived up to their low expectations.

Other than oasis and u2 no band are releve

Here's the wikipedia definition of Independent Music.

'In popular music, independent music, often generally abbreviated as "indie", is a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous, Do-It-Yourself approach to recording and publishing.

Independent labels have been known to strive for minimal influence on the artist they represent, avoiding the artist-cultivating behavior of many major labels. Artists represented by Independent labels have been known to be focused more on producing music than becoming wealthy and/or well known.'

That makes Oasis an Indie band.
But where does it leave a band like Radiohead?

theUbiq wrote: »

In fact, Oasis signed to Creation after the label had been sold to Sony. I think its fair to say that Creation was no longer an independent label if it was owned by Sony...

This is misleading.
Creation sold 50% to Sony in 1992 but retained full creative control of the label.Sony's influence on Oasis was basically zero until around 1999/2000.

Yes was at that Slane gig in 1995. To be fair they were supporting REM so it is probably not a good example (REM fans would have different tastes in music) To my mind REM played them off the stage that day but fans have different tastes.
They are a very good live band and its backed up by the fact that they played to huge crowds and the massive amount of gear they carry around.
And I can say of what I saw in a subsequent live show at Lansdownen Road, they are very good.
Not sure about their output since Whats the story but as one rock pundit said the other day on the Last Word, Rolling Stones and even U2 make most of their money of tour sales now. Oasis as he said did the hard work with the first two albums.

Hardrain · 03-09-2009 1:45pm

There is plenty in their post Be Here Now work that stands up to the early stuff. Tracks like 'Let's All Make Believe, Gas Panic, Songbird, Who Feels Love and many others are right up there to my ears. Fantastic band. Really looking forward to some solo Noel and Liam with the right people to collaborate with can put something decent out.

The problem with both of them solo is that we will all say Liam could have sung that Noel track better or Liam's songs need Noels arrangments. All said and done I'm eager for more from both of them.

Spiritoftheseventies · 03-09-2009 1:51pm

Yes the impression i got from liam in that interview he gave to Fenton (posted in previous link) is that Liams contribution was pretty minimal.
So I think that must have been a factor with Noel who must have felt he was ploughing a lone furrow at times.
You look at good songwriting partnerhips like Buck and Stipe, Lennon and McCartney, Bono the Edge.
There was a fair bit of collaboration there.
So it seems for Oasis to have continued for that long (18 years) was good going. Obviously Liam gave the band a bit of an edge but it was always going to be tough for one band to keep it going.
Brian Wilson another case. Again he did most of the arrangements himself which in the end led to problems.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Pwned

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.
