you can accuse oasis of many things, but 'not going on about the beatles/john lennon/wanting to be the biggest band in the world enough' isnt one of them

although i did find this bit funny:

'Who else would admit to loving a band as obvious as The Beatles, and making music because they wanted to be the biggest band in the world? Who would admit to wanting to be John Lennon?'

um...oasis?

ithankyoo

and all this faux-rockin' blues/faux-emotive gospel...it's really run it's course. Listen to any of the new stuff next to take your time or anyway that you want me and tell me i'm wrong.

and they can be incredible live, but I wish he'd back it in. The new album is dreadful, as bad as amazing grace. He's turned into a parody of a parody, it's embarrassing.

7? this is way better than most of the stuff on here that gets 9/10...alderaan, trick or treat, lust you, michael douglas, steel yr girl are worth more than a 7 alone.
Can't wait to see them at fabric either

schoolboy error! same here though, one of my earliest memories

I thought it was pretty funny, its not often you see people so MuDded up on the telly and totally freaking jo whiley and jools holland out.

it tells me NOTHING I want to know about the experience. Normally he's a really good writer as well.

I'm sure I've heard that somewhere.

and i also just remembered that they sponsered cardiff city's shirts once as well. brilliant.

song for about 5 albums straight, including b sides. My deciding factor in going to Cardiff Uni was my SFA obsession, which now seems a little weird looking back, but never mind, it was fun.

But now they seem a little dull, on record at least. Zoom! is a great track, but for the past couple of albums they seem stuck in this beach boys worship zone and have forgotten/abandoned all the mad little punky bits which used to punctuate their albums and made them extra-great. Seriously, SFA at their best piss on the beach boys, why turn yourselves into a tribute act?

Still probably my favourite band ever though, despite hardly listening to them anymore.

it sounds funny

ten?! Jamie T is literally the worst thing i have had the misfortune to hear in the past ten months.

and NOONE TALKS LIKE THAT. When you're portraying yourself as the 'voice of the streets', authenticity is important, surely? Else it's just a public school kid dressing up as one of the 'poor people' he drives past in his parent's beemer on his way to some scenester club. Load of shit.

band, brilliant song. no idea why theyre not huge.

the lyrics are absolutely dire. Especially as he seems to choose the worst lines as the ones he repeats over and over again.

and the music's pretty average too, every song seems to have a 'wacky' crunnnnk intro for two minutes before turning into yet another re-run of the helicopter riff.

great fanzine + great people = certain victory

ace song. ace band.
