Oasis reunion

[BlueHammer85]

Because last night was about the music and the atmosphere and people being together whereas Glastonbury felt like it was all about the politics and the headlines which lead to people being divided.

Politics has no place in music or sport (this is my opinion, I’m aware that many will not agree with this).

Fair opinion, but both can work imo. I went sam fender other week, he spoke out in support of Palestine, I felt that was a positive and it didn’t dampen the mood or ruin the gig. Same for those at Glastonbury.

Did you go to Glastonbury this year?

 

[stonerblue]

Is it still worth doing the Tram from Victoria. I know there was huge queues yesterday and that's with Double trams every Six minutes?

get on tram at shudehill possibl missing the crowds

Blackburn 2000 all over again

Now that was an epic day and for fan support won’t be beaten.

D'you know what I mean dedicated to Pep.

You’ll never get rid of it fully from the arts and rightly so. Agree about sport though.

We went last night with no intention of paying the £400 each to get in ,more than happy to listen sat down by the lake ,had a fantastic night with £400 sound ,
Going again next week bought a £10;t shirt on way home sorted, £780 towards a holiday and a great night out .:+)

Pay a visit to the match thread. Any match thread. It'll make this thread seem like a huge (you could even say "massive") group hug.

Totally agree

 

[franksinatra]

I love threads like this.
They show up that peculiarly British, and wholly unlikeable, trait of being contrary and obtuse for the sake of it. As if it somehow validates one’s own feeling of self worth.
You can predict it like the phases of the moon. A group of people contribute to a thread to celebrate the reunion of the biggest British rock band for generations, happily post how happy they are at the news, and generally just celebrate a wonderful piece of news, and as sure as eggs is eggs, the thread is quickly hijacked by the ‘too cool for school’ crowd.

“Oasis are shit”, “not what they were” etc etc.

It doesn’t make you look nuanced and sophisticated. It makes you look like a miserable ****.

Any thread on Kinkladze is the footballing equivalent. Like night follows day, as soon as people start taking pleasure reminiscing about watching him play and how much they idolised him others are desperate to pop the balloon and spout nonsense about it was his fault we got relegated etc just to deflate people’s joy.

I saw them at Maine Road in 96. I say I saw them but I was that shit faced I can’t remember a fucking thing of it. In fact when we left O’Shea’s having had several pints of Kilkennys I said we’d walk as it’s a doddle to find as I’d been going years. Got totally fucking lost on Alexandra Park Estate and had to flag a taxi down!!

I haven’t touched Kilkenny since. Dangerous stuff that shit.

And that's the difference. Glastonbury is a festival of contemporary arts and can not be compared to a pop concert in Heaton Park.
There is a lot of media hoo hah regarding Kneecap and Bob Vylan. But they were just 2 acts on one stage, out of thousands of acts on God knows how many stages.
How the poster tried to portray the festival is not a true reflection of my experience from this year.
There will be more people arrested at these Oasis gigs than there was at Glastonbury. Which is remarkable considering there are 250k people on site and it runs 24/7 from the Thursday.
Now if the poster compared it to Parklife, where people were getting arrested with machetes, then fair enough. But Glastonbury is one of the greatest places to be, where everyone is happy and just wants to party.

From the clips i have watched.
It is brilliant to hear Liam sounding great.
Hope it continues.
If it does he is going to be the real deal again.

 

[Tb1981]

Unbelievable atmosphere last night - that many people in attendance and from what I could tell, a totally friendly crowd with everyone there having a great time.

All credit to everyone involved, loads of booze and no dickheads. Didn’t read of any arrests either.

And no political shit was a breath of fresh air given all the nonsense virtue signalling at Glastonbury.

MVITA

That’s the 96 oasis vibe
Before it became a lads only thing
Now it’s back to women and men, young and old all singing every word
Best way to be

They sound like the ‘it means more’ Scouse lot

Pep and his daughter enjoyed last night's Oasis gig ......

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

My lad went last night and had front standing too. Made up he got to finally see them. He has always been a fan no doubt after listening to them when a baby when I was blasting them out! Massive Noel fan and has been everywhere watching the HFB. Got a couple of HFB/Noel Tats.

He loved it. Said they were brilliant and the crowd were friendly. No trouble that he could see.

It's just “I was there first” snobbery, friend. I wouldn't pretend to be a great Oasis fan — wasn't really listening to rock music of any kind by the nineties, I'd mainly moved on to jazz (and back to classical) — but like a huge part of the rest of the world, I like the well-known songs and sing along to them. And it's kind of nice that the rags had a group associated with them that are now mercifully almost completely forgotten. We have Oasis — a bloody good rock group then… and still now.
It's great that people are having this celebration, whether they're old fans or new. God knows there's been enough miserable news in the world over the last two to three years.

I like to think that they’re at least taking time away from bringing down everyone they live with, work with or socialise with…
