    Funny thing is that Liam almost jumps out of his skin when it happens first and then gets all tough once security have the guy, did it to the wrong brother IMO

    Yeah they caught him... he'll be charged with assault.
    I heard that Noel fell hard on some speakers and may have cracked a rib.

    To be fair if I was onstage and some nut job ran on I reckon I'd let security grab him before getting a dig in aswell, or you could just stand around and get Monica Sellesed/Dimebag Darrelled. Would you do any different?

    If he does get involved, then concert over and Liam winds up in the cell next to the attacker with massive stories all over the tabloids about how much of a disgrace he is.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I hate those dialogue boxes that pop up ow when you watch a freakin movie. If i wanted to read some crap, I'd look at the info. Stop ruining the damn video.

    It's the acting all tough afterwards though - Liam's always banging on about what a hard ****er he is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭Captain Darling


    Liam obviously didnt want to 'ave ittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt large.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    eh dont you think he might have been a bit taken aback like? its not exactly something that happens every night so he was probably stunned for a second, its a good excuse for any oasis bashers i suppose though

    enjoy your moment in the sun i guess. do you really think the band care whether you like them or not? why knock people for doing something with their lives? they made their money, they made some very good songs, they made a lot of people happy. what have you done with your lives?

    Why would Noel Gallager be charged with assault? :confused:

    LOL :D
    Liam Gallagher comes across as extremely arrogant and obnoxious and makes out he's a hard ****er. 'Course people are gonna gloat! Sure, he might have been taken aback, but acting all tough after the fact and surrounded by security doesn't give him much credibility.

    Holy going off on an unjustified defensive tangent Batman! Who said anything dissing their music or knocking them for doing something with their lives? Who said they want the band to care whether they like them or not? This is about a single incident, not Oasis in general!

    Jeez... Oasis fans - the embodiment of defensiveness... :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,714 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    Why would they come to our concert to boo us?

    Seriously, I hate Oasis, but why would you go to their concert if you didn't like them?

    Besides, if you're gonna push anyone off stage it should be Liam.

    OASIS FANS ARE NOT FCUKING DEFENSIVE. Why cant everyone stop picking on us and being so mean to us. What the hell have any of you ever done? Oasis are the best

    You can't thank posts in here so instead I'm quoting it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭m@cc@


    I can't really advocate attacking anyone on stage no matter who they are. Could have ruined the show for people who fork out their cash to watch the band, not some tosser wanted his 15 secs of fame.

    may have been a bit defensive but since all i see on this boards is negativity and jackels waiting to pounce anytime oasis are mentioned i am conditioned to just defend them, it seems people can take as many pops at the band as they want but if someone defends them they are patronised or told to chill out

    there is a large anti oasis contingent here and im not in it, i grew up on their music and i couldnt give a toss whether liam is a **** or a hard man.

    for me oasis is all about noel anyway, but without liam and his attitude they wouldnt have gotten anywhere either to be fair. whatever you wanna say about liam he is one of the greatest frontmen of all time

    People who don't like Oasis have every right to their opinion without being asked what they've ever done with their lives etc. That line could be applied to anyone who dislikes any band.

    100% agree, and people who do like them have every right to defend them, same goes for everything in this world


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,501 ✭✭✭Delphi91


    Ok, look at the video again and when the security guys have caught the guy and Liam starts getting all "hard", think Basil Fawlty when the car breaks down, just before he attacks it with the branch!!! :D

    :D It is a bit like that, isn't it. Him shuffling back and forth, I have expected him to turn around to the drumkit and shake his fist.

    Yeah but stuff like "what have YOU ever done?", "do you think they care whether you like them or not" etc (not just said by you but by lots of Oasis fans/fans of other groups who get criticised - e.g. U2) - of what relevance are they? And why not use those lines every time someone criticises a band? I don't get why Oasis fans in particular take it so personally - it's a band ffs.

    you really dont get it dudess? you couldnt even hazard a guess like?

    do you think it would have anything to do with us growing up on their music and havin a connection with the band and great affinity, its not just a band to certain fans. i am actually not one of the more die hard fans anymore, but i do have a special place for them

    why do football fans get so passionate about their clubs?

    same thing isnt it? you develop some sort of connection to an organisation and thats it, your a fan for life and you will defend them to the death... not to hard to figure out really

    Oasis fans in particular may take it so personally because since oasis have had such sustained success and resentment that they have had to listen to it for a long time now and it wears a bit thin

    can we draw a line now or would you like the last word?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,714 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    I'd like the last word and I'd like it to be "waffleiron" if that's okay with everyone?

    Ok I do now. I understand the affinity thing and the constant abuse Oasis get. Chill :)

    If I may repeat my last question though: why the shouts of "what did YOU ever do?" etc to Oasis/any band detractors by those who are fans? Isn't it a bit unfair to expect them to have achieved something of the same level merely in order to justify criticising them?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    its more that i can relate to it from my own experience, im a song writer and musician and i know from my own experiences starting off that its much easier to take shots at something then create something, i dont expect people to achieve things of the same level! that would be ludicrous, just want people to understand and appreciate that its not easy to make something, and definatly alot easier to destroy something.

    its why its personal to me anyway......

    but in fairness this is a bit of a

    Looking at that video, it looks like Noel Gallagher had his biggest hit since 1996 right there!:p

    Seriously though, where the heck was security?

    You're welcome to think whatever you want about Oasis, but everybody else doesn't have to read off the same script. I don't have to be a musician to laugh at the misfortunes of musicians. Get over yourself.

    I would have chuckled to see it happen to LG as he seems pretty fond of putting it about.

    For the record, I think Noel is great as he comes always across as a sarcastic, intelligent lad in interview. I've no doubt he'd share our schadenfreude if this had happened to say, Chris Martin or Tom Chaplin.

    I bet even Noel will laugh at it himself at some stage. Espeically as the guy probably got a severe hiding backstage. ;)

    This video has lost all funniness. Gig in NY cancelled tomorrow because of that prick. Once in a life time chance for an Oasis fan, and it's gone because of some asshole who wanted 15 secs on fame.

    Am i bitter? Just a bit,
