One can sing for personal amusement.
One may not sing and make money off of it.
Those cats put the fun in dysfunctional.
That’s too bad. “Wonderwall” is an ok song.
Oasis has always been overrated.
I watched the documentary on the original Knebworth on a AA flight to Europe (9 hours to kill, few good alternatives). The family dynamic was the classic case on the Younger A-hole brother that used his cool older brother to get ahead in life, but never gave him credit for it. Seen it multiple time in my extended family. A-holes always blame OTHERS for being A-Holes.
A 3 day weekend driving around london made me realize why Oasis was such a phenomena in the UK in the 1990’s.
Like me on the Airplane, the people in the UK are stuck on a island with 40 prepackaged, made in a marketing factory, songs that play on rotation every 2 hours.
Oasis had 4 good pop songs. they aren’t the Beatles, the Who, Zepplin or the Stones.
The lack of alternatives made them superstars... in the UK, and what I learned from the original documentary is Liam is a A-hole and don’t beleieve anything he tells you.
Those two exceed the famous Kinks brothers, Ray & Dave, spats.
Who cares? Oasis sucks.
Talented songwriters. Back in the 90s they boasted they could write a hit song anytime they wanted. What they forgot was that it takes fans to actually buy the song in order for it to be a hit, and tastes in music changes. ‘Champagne Supernova’ is my personal favorite.
As far as their relationship. I think it was New Musical Express that included a recording in an issue that mainly consisted of them saying ‘You F*** Off, No You F*** Off’. Great songwriters they may be, but listening to two drunks slurring an endless stream of curse words confirmed that rock stars aren’t the brightest bulbs in the room.
“He (Liam) is the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.” - Noel Gallagher.
It been all downhill since the Rolling Stones with Mick Taylor.
