Hugh Jass Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Really enjoyed Supersonic, reminded me how massive and how much of a phenomenon Oasis were for a couple of years. I would love to see a sequel based around them splitting up, there are rumours of what happened but the full story has never been told.

There is a lot spoken about particularly around the 2000 wembley shows, would be good to hear more. I saw them twice in 2009 and they were both fantastic gigs, albeit it was just a nostalgia fest even then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam pissed and coked up, out of tune even for him and ranting about his divorce. Think Noel walked off the tour around that time again too.

I had it on video. I went to the Reebok on that tour, my main memories are how poor Liam sounded in comparison to the GMEX a few years earlier - and some knobhead climbing up the speakers and stopping the gig for a while. Saw Oasis at Maine Road 96 - but I was too far away. I was 12 and went with my dad. I didn't enjoy it that much. GMEX 97 - The first gig I went to without my parents... I'd say it's the reason why I go to gigs now. Reebok 2000 - I noticed the decline in them even then, but loved it. Nottingham 2004? - Pretty poor performance, but I had a ball. Heaton Park 2009 - Loved it. Liam wasn't great. I remember saying to my mum a few days later "that's the last time I will ever watch Oasis"I had a great day and wanted to remember them like that.

Wooderson Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I saw them the week after Knebworth (think Noel wore the same jumper?) and they were dull as dishwater with a PA quality you’d expect from a bingo hall. I think the appeal with them was summer 94/95 (both scorchers) where they were a lairy counterpoint/throwback in the midst of some really great music being made. They allowed “cultural access” to people that never liked music before. Not an insignificant achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Supersonic it does feel like Noel matured and Liam never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn’t a single mention of the whole Blur rivalry that was a significant part of those years, found that odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near as good as GF (I was at both) but still very enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the better comparisons would be gorillaz vs high flying birds, or Beady Eye vs Fat Les. But yeah, they totally lost.

Hugh Jass Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 After watching Supersonic again over Christmas I was inspired to dig out the Definitely Maybe vinyl, I enjoyed it immensely. Oasis are a band I can enjoy in small doses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohinever Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 I would love, live to see them at Glasto again. Just the thought of them coming out and the opening riff of "rock and roll star" kicking in is enough to make me very smiley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 The Pyramid Field still has a foul odour emanating from it after their 04 set. Its not immediate, but if you stand there long enough your nostrils will twitch in inevitable disgust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russycarps Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) They were ace on the main stage in 1995, but everyone else seems to think they were terrible. I mean I cant remember a thing about it but I can remember thinking it was brill afterwards. I guess it depends how old you were at the time, but I was right in my youthful prime and music snobbery had not yet taken root.
