I've spent the last two days in that there London on a break with the missus and our young daughter.
Oasis weren't even playing on these two days, yet as previously stated, there were Oasis fans everywhere (I'm a big fan too and seen them at Maine Road and Knebworth)
I wanted to go into the Adidas stores - it's a trainer thing - but couldn't get there early morning as there were queues and I don't mean a dozen people, there were a good hundred plus people at the one on Bond Street and the other one in Carnaby Street.
I did get into the Bond Street store late afternoon and it was rammed and people were buying so much Oasis / Adidas merchandise, it was ridiculous.
I'm also constatntly listening to Radio X Oasis channel in my car - yes I have all the albums and can play the songs anytime I want, but it's mad that they have their own radio station!!
They have absolutely nailed this so far, completely captured the imagination of new and old fans alike and for myself who didn't bother trying to get tickets "because I saw them in 96 when they were in their prime, etc. etc".........I'm more than impressed with how they sound this time round and am extremely disappointed I didn't bother.
What I've now realised though is just how big they are and were and how the songs have lasted the test of time and will continue to do so.
There's something special about the band, Oasis
