Must just be me then, fair enough! I couldn’t be less interested in Richard Ashcroft. If loads of people are then fair enough. I had no idea he was that big of a pull tbh. Always put him in that Ian Brown solo bracket of hasbeen rubbish!Blossoms, Doves & Johnny Marr are nowhere near as big as Richard Ashcroft. Ashcroft sold out Delamere instantly last year, Blossoms (as much as I like them) didn't sell out this year. Absolutely no way on earth that any of those bands songs are as well known as Bittersweet Symphony, Lucky Man, Drugs Don't Work & Sonnet. Unless Johnny Marr did a full set of the Smiths of course....
All time? Blimey those tinted specs are really clouding your judgement.Greatest frontman of all time for sure, may not be technically the best singer but no one could get near him at his peak vocally or stage presence.

Saw Johnny Marr supporting New Order in Wythenshawe park last year and he was sensational, perfect for a big outdoor Manchester crowd.
Fair enough mate. Must just be me then hahaI think Ashcroft does have more pull than people realise.
Urban Hymns was massive at the time, so theres always gonna be nostaligia for that reason. Far bigger than any Stone Roses album really, commercially at least. Also I think a lot of it has been to do with the fact he hasn't always been active during his solo career. He has been in recent years but at one point he went 10 years without doing any solo album or many gigs. His albums generally chart in the top 2 or 3 too, even now, so he definitely has a captured audience.
Plus, it's not like he's doing the usual circuit every year, so I reckon people probably come out to see him for that reason, because they can't catch him that often.
Can't say his solo stuff does much for me though. A Song For The Lovers was good though.
Probably extend the tour further because they will realise how much money they can make.Wonder what is next for them after this tour. I would assume there'll be a live album or film recording, but do they hit the studio and put out a new album?
It feels like these gigs have cemented their legacy, but if they go back to their own ventures and there's a new Liam solo or High Flying Birds album it's going to feel like a let down after all of this... A full Oasis album of all Noel written songs with Liam on vocals for the vast majority... Confident they'd deliver something much better than the later Oasis albums, but understand if they don't.
Electronic made 3 good songs...they should reform and perform them.Must just be me then, fair enough! I couldn’t be less interested in Richard Ashcroft. If loads of people are then fair enough.

10 nights at the Etihad ;)Probably extend the tour further because they will realise how much money they can make.
They'll take the money and runWonder what is next for them after this tour. I would assume there'll be a live album or film recording, but do they hit the studio and put out a new album?

They’ve made some good songs since then 1998, they just haven’t produced an album like the first two and I don’t think that’s worthy of any criticism considering how brilliant both of those albums are.

I heard yours was quite a large one.Not many bands make more than 2 great albums in their careers in fairness and some have been together decades. Their catalogue of songs is very impressive which is why they are popular .
You know when a band is big the cool kids embarrass themselves.
I much prefer listening to the Jazz funk trio from dusseldorf called im eigenen Arsch verschwunden. I find their smaller gigs soooo much more satisfying.
Don’t believe the truth is my favourite Oasis album.They’ve made some good songs since then 1998, they just haven’t produced an album like the first two and I don’t think that’s worthy of any criticism considering how brilliant both of those albums are.

Johnny Rotten, Morrissey and Liam in that order from the gigs I’ve been toGreatest frontman of all time for sure, may not be technically the best singer but no one could get near him at his peak vocally or stage presence.
We didn’t even bother making it inside in time for Cast or Dicky Ash. Stone Roses at HP, Oasis HP in 2008, Loch Lomond and Maine Road all had great support line ups.I was expecting ‘bigger’ supports as well. Thought maybe we’d get Blossoms or Doves or Johnny Marr, someone on that level.
I couldn’t give less of a shit about Richard Ashcroft - always found him and the verve a load of whiney forgettable bilge if I’m honest.
Looking forward to Cast though, I’ve never seen them, reckon they’ll be great fun in the sunsheeeiiiiinneeee on Saturday!
Johnny Marr said in his book that's never going to happen, unfortunately.Electronic made 3 good songs...they should reform and perform them.
Nice curry house that.We went to Mister Ali’s for a curry on Friday night after the gig. We had a couple of pints while waiting for a table. Sat and had a curry. By the time we’d finished eating, the crowds had cleared and we easily booked an Uber to take us home.
Random choice between Mister Ali and the posher looking one over the road. Was more interested in the Cobra on tap rather than the Lamb Methi, naan and pilau rice I ordered.Nice curry house that.
The amount of stuff they put out 94 to 97 was more than enough for most bands in an entire career.They’ve made some good songs since then 1998, they just haven’t produced an album like the first two and I don’t think that’s worthy of any criticism considering how brilliant both of those albums are.
