    so it’s beginning to read more like just a cash grab….quick spin around a dozen or so stadiums and festivals in Europe and then thanks and goodnight and disappear again till the next time. Probably 7-10 years

    A band at one time I really liked but now…. Fuk that…

    Starting to seem like a lot of more the senior legacy acts… want to cash in to the max whilst it suits them and then gone again for years…all the while implying we should be grateful they bothered.

    If it was about music / fans they’d be writing, recording and releasing. Mind you I’m sure there will be a live release……..£££££££££ live album, Blu-ray, dvd etc 🥱

    Well this is just lovely.

    Now to decide on which city to see them in.

    For some reason, a gig in the Millennium Stadium appeals to me most

    Guessing Blossoms are one of the supporting acts

    Now we just need MCD or Aiken to retweet it

    This is also a message to the surviving members of The Smiths and Led Zeppelin. Get back together

    I’d love to see a hybrid Smith / Zeppelin … Led Smiths….. do 45 minutes of each others songs… 🙉 they could exchange frontmen with Morrissey singing the Zeppelin songs and Plant the Smiths…… actually the idea of Plant singing Frankly Mr Shankly would be a must….

    On Oasis I’m seeing rumours that tickets will be around £100 quid for the UK gigs.

    So yeah if true pretty much a cash grab and they’ll pull down the shutters for another few years till it suits them afterwards….

    So yeah I won’t be going on principle if that turns out to be true. Not paying that much to see a band who were in their latter years, phoning it in live.

    Alright, Gusser. I'm pretty sure you're not being entirely serious here.

    The amount of people who make disliking Oasis as part of their personality is hilarious.

    Spent 20 minutes trying to explain to a yank just how big Oasis were in the day in the pub. The thing is, she knows them, and they went multiple times platinum in America, outselling most American bands, but they "never made it there", because they was seen as not successful relative to how big they were in the UK and Ireland.

    They say the Beatles were bigger, they were internationally, as many bands were, but Oasis are quite simply the biggest band the UK and Ireland has ever seen. No band has actually come close to the mania, hysteria and size Oasis reached in Ireland and UK in their pomp, even the Beatles, not even close. Oasis in these quarters simply dwarf any band or artists who ever was and ever probably will be.

    It's become the in things to put them down and call them a poor man's Beatles who never evolved, but I never actually seen the comparison really, Oasis always alot heavier. It also goes to show how big Blur were back then too, Damon Albarn left the media spotlight to hide behind holograms.

    Those two bands, Oasis in particular, were headline news, no one before or since in Ireland or UK has ever come close to reaching those heights, or probably ever will.

    The Beatles, the Stones, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Coldplay, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Eminem, whoever etc, as much as it kills people to say, in this part of the world, Oasis simply dwarf them all! They are by far the biggest band we'll ever see, nothing comes close to the level of popularity Oasis reached in the UK, or ever will!

    I don't think its possible to explain to today's generation how big Oasis was in the mid 90s. It'll be interesting to see who else is involved if this is a reunion. Hopefully Bonehead. I doubt if Guigsy would do it, I don't think he's been seen in decades. Zak Starkey on drums, although Alan White would be great.

    It seems like it is going to be the high flying birds lineup plus Liam. Shocked Bonehead wouldnt be involved after touring with Liam so much now but maybe he said he wasnt interested or maybe they have 3 guitarists?

    Jaysus. Where did you read that? As you said, it'd be strange if Bonehead wasn't involved. Maybe he and Noel don't get along anymore or something.

    and I dont think it is true him and Noel don't get along. Bonehead has always been more than amicable in interviews about Noel and I remember back during the first NGHFB tour, Bonehead had a backstage pass for one of them, I remember his posting about it

    Interesting. I don't believe a word that's printed in that absolute rag so let's see how it goes. It'd be a real shame if Bonehead at least wasn't involved.

    I know, I feel the same but to be fair they got this right ahead of time. I think I saw someone on the Live4Ever forum say they had the inside track on the Blur reunion stuff too. **** rats though (the sun)

    Awful paper yeah. Ah sure look, time will tell. If it does go ahead it'll be a huge event. I had a ticket for Slane 09 but had to sell it and always regretted not going to that one, seeing as it was their final tour. It'd be good to tick them off the "want to see" list even if there's no new music and it's purely a cash grab.

    I have had the good fortune to see them many many times and nothing compares to them for me. That Slane gig was the last time I saw them, had a great day with a tonne of mates, most of whom were not necessarily big fans of oasis and going for the day out and the prodigy but we all had a **** cracker of a day

    ah come off it "dwarf The Beatles" Liverpool is a shrine to the fab four, Lennon has an airport named after him, Macca got a knighthood, they have bus tours that commemorate their beginnings. We still fondly remember their Adelphi concert here 60 years later. I'm an Oasis fan, I saw them in Lansdowne Road 2000 but their legacy and popularity is not even close to John, Paul, George and Ringo in Ireland/UK and never will be.
