"To suit your agenda." The irony.there wasnt one mention of another band on the tickets or promo for knebworth
Regardless of that event. Oasis are not an elite band. End of story.
There's no such thing as an 'elite band', though, is there. You're making up your own categories.
What
Of course they are.
Are they feck. Agree to disagree.
Did you even read that article? They played at a festival venue. That doesn't equate to it being a festival like Reading or V, or Glastonbury.
Elite athletes, yes. They're an accepted thing, based on objective qualities like skills, trophies and medals. Bands aren't categorised like that, are they? And if they were to be, what are we talking? Crowd sizes and record sales? Or musical ability and songwriting? Because the latter are subjective.What
Agree to disagree mate. I've given my thoughts and have nothing left to add.
saw them with the wife at wembley just before they split.
I'll definitely be getting up early tomorrow on the off chance we can go again.
I'd advise trying to get to one of the early ones. They may not make it through the whole run of dates

Musicians have mad skills, probably more than a footballer for example, and also win awards Grammy, for outstanding achievements. So there are elite musicians too.
My point was not that they weren't a big band but rather where I lived they weren't the biggest thing around and even then only for under a year.
Wonderwall has become a radio play staple but they have never been anywhere near a big as they were in the UK.
If you literally look at the list on this, it will confirm it was exactly what he said. Most of the others are marketed as festivals, Oasis was marketed... as Oasis.
Thoughts but there are no facts to substantiate your assertions. No wonder there's nothing left to add.
Says someone who said there's no such thing as an elite band
Yes. Elite musicians in terms of skills, I agree, although virtuoso is there correct term there. Elite bands, just aren't a thing though.
Google the term 'elite bands' and see what comes up. Nothing about music, other than a company that does entertainment at weddings.Says someone who said there's no such thing as an elite band
It's just not the right terminology. Music isn't a sport.

It does seem those kind of public playlists make inflate numbers and are a bad metric to compare how "big" music acts are. Pitbull for example has 49 million monthly listeners but would he even fill arenas these days? He hasn't had a hit in what feels like nearly 10 years.
Just because you don't like them doesn't mean you are right.
At one point of time in the 90's they were the band who sold most records and tickets, not elite?
As of 2024, the band have sold 75 millionrecords worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time and been cited by Guinness World Records as the most successful act in the United Kingdom between the years 1995 and 2005.
Having said that they can’t touch the likes of the Beatles 600m Queen 300m U2 175m Rolling Stones 250m Elton John 350m Billy Joel 187m Paul McCartney 100m even Taylor Swift 117m ( figures from google) but 75 m is massive and I think makes them huge.
Of course they are , you just don’t like them, I am not a huge fan but think they are elite
On another note, looks like The Blossoms will be one of the warm up acts. That's the beer o'clock time sorted then.
I've gone down an alternate version wormhole for the evening.
There’s no such thing as an elite band in the same sense as elite footballers, what a weird use of the word Music is subjective, it’s weird how some adults still struggle with that concept.

Genuinely though this was AI generated until I opened the video on YouTube.
I've always preferred their slower, rockier demos. With Liams voice though, of course.
There'll be some kind of announcement but there I can't imagine there'll be tickets on sale tomorrow.
If venues were booked this would have been leaked ages ago.
Definitely prefer the original, but do enjoy the difference between the two versions.
I've a mate working in Ticketmaster who said it's basically all set to go asap. Don't think it'll be tomorrow, but could be late this week/early next
Have to agree with the poster. Oasis are very popular, but for me their music is extremely average and lacking in edge. You may feel differently, but many don’t rate Oasis the same. It’s called taste and preference.What
I saw oasis in 91/92 before Noel joined, they were called Rain and were ok, they got played off the stage by the support act that night though.
Never really got the hype about them, I like a few of their songs, but thats about it.

This sums up my feelings. I like about five of their tunes, but nothing about them is particularly special to me.
Only on the caf you'd have someone saying Oasis isn't a huge band. At this point in time I don''t care one way or another about them, but they're fecking huge.
If they will reunite and come to an arena close to me I'd go, though.

I understand people may not like them for whatever reasons, but no edge?
Come on now
Come on now
I'll try and get a ticket for Cardiff if they go there. It's nostalgic and I don't like all their stuff but the ones I do like are worth seeing.
Wonder if they would open with Hello or will completely erase that from their setlist

That first sentence should go without saying. Yet it’s crazy how often people correlate popularity with quality.
I would probably put Oasis close to Coldplay in this context. They captured a vibe at the time and I drunkenly belted out their hits with as much enthusiasm as anyone. But their music hasn’t passed the test of time. They’re not albums you want to go back to. It was funny the way they were seen as being on a par with Blur for so long, yet Blur/Damon Albert went on to produce a vastly superior back catalogue of music. All the Oasis solo projects have really just highlighted how limited they were/are, musically.
The comeback shows will probably be great fun. For nostalgic 40 and 50 year olds and kids with a Brit Pop fetish. That and the potential for punch ups on stage anyway.
