I'm not surprised there are so many tickets left for this. Went to the O2 gig there last year and have to say I wasn't too impressed. They played fine but it just seemed like they didn't want to be on stage. There was no energy in the performance at all. It was more a case of show up play standard 70 minute set and leave.
One thing I did think was awesome was Chad Smiths drum solo. This was down to the fact:
1. He is an awesome drummer
2. You could tell he wanted to be on that stage and enjoyed playing.
Just my 2 cents 0 -

I'll reply to this tonight when I have the time- mailny to point out the amount of ridiculous baseless assumptions you made!! I look forward to tearing your post apart, and you have made it so easy for me with all the ridiculous assumptions you made out of your paranoia!
But in brief- you think it's okay for you to infer that one band doesn't write or play decent music anymore but when someone says that about a band you like it's not okay at all :rolleyes::rolleyes: I'm hoping you see the ridiculous double standard there! And it is extremely ironic that in your first sentence you go crazy at what you perceive to be me not adressing the point you made, you then go on to make everything up and assume that you know everything I think about everything! Madness! I'll post baclk later!
At least I can be prepared for your stupidity this time I suppose!
I didn't "lose the plot!" Bless. I merely told you why you were incorrect. I used the perceived value you hold for critical reviews to satirise the value you hold in critical reviews.
Of course anyone can slag anyone. The difference is, and it's quite simple really, that lazy journalists regularly compare Oasis/Noel/Liam to the first two albums. Of course HFB isn't as good as the best album of the last 25 years. The Chilis new album is crap all on its own. Judge Noel/Beady Eye on their own merits. Very simple really!
I can't wait to read the reply anyway. Take as much time as you need!!0 -

You were inferring that RHCP don't write or play any decent music any more, that is incorrect. They don't write material that suit's your personal taste. Lot's of people like it, they like it for a reason. You had a pop at RHCP, I took issue with that by having a pop at Noel Gallagher not because I don't like Gallagher, but because you were wrong to say what you said. So I did directly respond to what you said. You claimed he can write and play decent songs and that RHCP can't, you're wrong, they can, you just don't like them. My post was designed to show you that critics talk nonsense, you were being a critic yourself, therefore you were talking nonsense. Bizarrely, you somehow formed the opinion that I am pro critic. How in the name of god you drew that conclusion I'll never know...Oasis_Dublin wrote: »I say Noel can "write/play decent music" and you tell me that the new RHCP guitarist is better than NG. Way to not address the point I made. I never claimed that Noel was an amazing guitarist; I merely said that he can write "decent music" and play "decent music."
I say "vast swathes of people would disagree with you", you choose to interpret it as vast swathes of people think you're stupidOh well, if "vast swathes" of people who only think Oasis had two decent albums think I'm stupid, then it must be true.
Good for you, what a moronic conclusion to make!!
Moronic? Why have people thanked my post and why has nobody thanked yours? People don't generally thank moronic posts... Unlike yourself I think before I speak, also- ever heard of attack the post, not the poster??? Also, I am so happy to say I am not now, never was, and never will be your "mate". I like my friends, they don't moan about how this is rubbish and that is terrible and they understand the concept of subjectivity.Not a particularly thoughtful person, are you?! Even by internet forum standards, what you have written is pretty moronic mate!
Paranoid lie/mistruth that you have baselessly assumed as nothing I said indicated thatYou obviously aren't as big a fan of Oasis as you profess to be if you think that everything Noel or Liams says in an interview is to be taken as 100% factual.
This has absolutely nothing to do with what I posted, absoluitely nothing. Kind of strange coming from someone who went ballistic at what he perceived as another poster not adressing what he said. :pac:There is every chance that you could find interviews from different countries where Oasis members contradict previously held opinions on the album they are touring. Noel regularly explains how he hates answering the same questions on tour and invents different answers for his own amusement.
Not necessarily, they have every right to compare to previous material. Coincidentally, your post which said Chili Peppers fans should be grateful to be able to see someone who can still write and play decent music implies that the Chili's were once able to write decent music, and you now feel that they can't. So you are judging them now against what they did in the past. And from what you say, judging a band by what they did in the past is lazy and makes that person an unoriginal pratt. Your words, not mine...Also, lazy journalism cannot be discounted. Any journalist who compares a new Oasis or Noel release to DM or MG is a lazy, unoriginal pr*t.
But you didn't comment only on "poor auld Noel" who's record speaks for itself, there are plenty of ways to stick up for your beloved Noel without having to take a swing at other bands. "My favourite band is better than your favourite band" is childish nonsense.Indeed. The comment I replied to was a needless dig at poor auld Noel.
You confuse "X is bad" with "X is not to my personal taste"The last Chilis album was pretty terrible.
Beloved critics? Another baseless assumption! And the critical reception for I'm With You was generally positive actually. Average to above average while not outstanding would cover it. Also, I find it funny that you pick and choose when critical acclaim means anything. You pick and choose what suits you!....Even your beloved critics, with their extremely important opinions, could tell you that.
If the critics can be correct from time to time then Be Here Now and Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants are terrible albums. But of course as I've already pointed out, the opinions of the critics only counts when it suits yourself.Crazy as it might sound, I decided to listen to the album for myself and make up my mind. It seems the critics can be correct from time to time!
You somehow have failed to read between the lines in my original post- that being that the opinions of critics doesn't matter. You basically said that RHCP don't wrote or play anything decent anymore. My point was that you are no better than any of the countless critics that Noel Gallagher or Oasis have when you say things like that. You think its okay for you to say that the RHCP's don't write or play any decent music anymore, and when it's pointed out to you that many feel the same way about Oasis/NG you throw your toys out of the pram and post the nonsense. Oasis/NG critic's are lazy unoriginal pratts? You're doing EXACTLY the same thing as these lazy unoriginal pratts with your criticism of RHCP. You don't know the difference between "X is terrible" and "I don't like X". For example I don't like Guinness but it would be wrong of me to say that Guinness is disgusting. It obviously isn't, it just isn't to my personal taste.
If you respond, please try to deal with what I actually say instead of making stupid assumptions. Remember, 2+2=4.0 -

Agree 100% with everything you said.
Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's crap, plenty of bands I don't like but have had worldwide success.
Glad someone sees it the way you should.0 -

The past few weeks I havent been looking forward to this concert at all. Tbh I dont even want to go. I regret buying standing tickets now, should have gotten seated. I dont even know how Im getting back down from Dublin. Accomodation is probably through the roof in price, and there is no public transport aside from buses, which I dont fancy standing around in Dublin waiting for. 0
