I remember bumping into Noel, on Oxford Rd in Manchester, and he was telling me that he was now in a band and they had just been signed to Creation Records. I asked him what they were called and when he answered “Oasis” I thought it was a crap, unoriginal name and they would never make it. Shows how much I knew. At least I didn’t tell him what I thought.
It's a good name for a huge band. Same with Nirvana.
How did you know Noel in the first place?
@@thadonis.He didn't 😂
@@thadonis. we were mates from our teenage years, but lost contact as we got older.
@@simontunnicliffe2107 yeah, but I was closer to Elvis. Knob
Great stuff Andy.Highly enjoyable listen. Cheers
This is good news for a change. Liam and Noel know how to stay relevant and in the public eye that's for sure. There's a great quote from the re-make of the movie A Star is Born where the character Jack states that "music is essentially twelve notes between any octave. Twelve notes and the octave repeats. It's the same story told over and over, forever. All any artist can offer the world is how they see those twelve notes". Liam and Noel offered the world many many wonderful takes on those 12 notes that resonant deeply for a lot of us.
Slade is the band I always felt they were closer to - got the common touch. I remember seeing a teacher leading her school kids, all about 9 or 10 years old, across a zebra crossing back in '95 and they all spontaneously started singing 'Wonderwall'.
Absolutely right about Slade .
Great band
The Beatles/ Slade / The stone Roses

Love is like oxygen...
I love Ned’s Atomoc Dustbin and EMF! 🎉 amazing you know members of both!!
Andy you have made my morning, I am going to have a big goofy smile on my face all day!
Another perceptive video, Andy. I never was a fan, but there is something undeniably compelling about the combination of Noel's hooks and Liam's snarky caterwauling. That's rock & roll!
All aboard the Noel Gallagher divorce cash grab, where YOU TOO (*not U2) can get to see Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds with Liam on vocals by taking out a small bank loan or emptying your life savings, in the hope it will reignite those warm memories of 1995 even if you didn't live through it! All proceeds go to a worthy cause (Noel is down to his last £20m)
@theasphaltworld849 said the same. You put it much better mate 👍
Meh, Rolling Stones did the same , Mick had loads of kids from different women and “divorces” .
Huge fan from the first album, saw them 8 times (only 3, 4 max were fantastic ) …don’t feel the need to see them again . I have up even bothering to listen or buy Noel’s solo stuff after his second LP. Never bought or sat down to listen to Liam’s solo stuff. Can’t stand his voice now (Wall of Glass, good god ) won’t even listen to the into of any of his tunes
@gavintuesday4959 are you agreeing or is it the reason the stones and jagger are still touring is because of alamone
Great story, Andy. Makes the reunion news worth it!
Oasis reunion. My thoughts... I wonder what I'll have for dinner tonight?
Yet here you are.
@@HibeeMcbee So every opinion has to be "i cant wait" then?
@@HibeeMcbee Yes, you are right. Although it is difficult to get away from the Oasis reunion at the moment. It was at the top of the Sky news agenda both today and yesterday. But then again, there's not much going on in the world at the moment, just a couple of wars.
@@davehoward22 Nah. It's just interesting. Commenting on something that supposedly isn't interesting
sounds like something a Coldplay fan would say
That’s why they call the drummer, the battery or engine room. If you don’t have a good drum, your band will probably not last. From personal experience, 35 years+. 🎶
I've been in bands with a bad drummer. It makes every gig an ordeal!
The Beatles firing Pete Best was the best decision they ever made.
Nostalgia is a powerful thing
I remember Phil Collins, Noel's greatest nemesis, saying that the appeal of Oasis was "only nostalgia really".
I'm not your typical Oasis fan, but I always loved them. A proper rock and roll band with a real swagger! Made more kids want to play guitar than any other band for decades...!
Here in America we never got it. Or maybe we got it, and you Brits didn't get it.
@@Frip36 spare yourself,youre not missing much
@@Frip36 Don't worry, you were right (I speak as a Brit). A few decent tunes but the most overrated band in history.
Nirvana made kids pick up guitars more than oasis
@@illmatic9096 not in the UK they didn't!
No British album from the 90s moves me more than The Sundays Blind. Now THAT'S a reunion I would travel for. Also the mystique of apparently having a vault of more recent unreleased material they're not sure is any good.
An Oasis reunion is all very well, but I'll be saving my ticket money for the day Robbie gets back together with the lads in Take That!
I'm not a big fan of Robbie (do love Angels tho!) and certainly not at all keen on Take That, but i have to say Robbie was a brilliant live performer at his peak. That Knebworth gig was showmanship of the highest order! Also really enjoyed his Albert Hall gig where he sang lots of the classic Sinatra and swing songs. Way better than boring Oasis as a live act!
Chapterhouse were a great band, really trippy and psychedelic.
"N O T televised"?
It'll be BootLegged
ALL over the 'net!
I'm a massive Prog//Fusion fan. Have been since I was 11, some 46 years ago. I fcking LOVE Oasis.
Lots of my Prog-snob mates disagree, but the minute I heard Definitely Maybe, when it was released, I thought "Thank fck someone's playing guitar again, and setting the world on fire with it!"
It hasn't all got to be in 13/8 ya know.
I used to be a prog guy, but to be honest what prog is trying to achieve has been done better by the classical guitars. And thankfully classical is free of cheesy Hammond organs and sci fi stories. I like my rock music to be loud and obnoxious now
Zak Starkey was the best drummer to play for Oasis. Alan White would be most fans’ choice but it’ll probably be Chris Sharrock
I saw Zak drumming for Lightning Seeds many years ago - I don't usually pay much attention to drumming, but he blew me away that night.
"You're the outcast
You're the underclass
But you don't care
Because you're living fast
You're the uninvited guest who stays till the end
I know you've got a problem that the Devil sends
You think they're talking 'bout you, but you don't know who
I'll be scraping their lives from the sole of my shoe toniiiiiiiiiiight!"
Their first album was really great. After that no. But many people dont realise how good they briefly were
I wasnt a fan in the 90s but then did become a fan in the early 2000s ..I actually enjoyed their latter albums a lot,not every song but most. But later on i appreciated them much more. For me ,they have the most songs i can listen to day in day out apart from the Beatles. There are at least 50 songs i enjoy. More than Queen or Zep but im not saying i prefer them to those legends neccassarily. One of the biggest musical reunions and a huge rock event.
Pixies got back together in 2003 because Charles met the drummer at the drummers dads funeral and saw he was struggling mentally and financially. I thought that was very noble.
I think you're right Andy, 'its gonna put guitar music back on the map' and thats the sort of shot in the arm we do need, not the other thibg which had a good go at decimating the live music scene, so hoo fuckin rah, well done boys!!!
Definitely a band that goes over and under the heads of snobs. You get it or you don't, and it does crack me up how musos get worked up over them being simple. They are the best interview in the business, Noel specifically and Liam can make a lad not feel soft singing along to a love song, which is actually a pretty impressive feat.
After I filmed this I listed to champagne supernova, which is almost proggy. And I enjoyed it, great epic mood and a killer chorus
If thinking Oasis are crap makes me a snob, I'm very happy to be. I couldn't stand them and Liam's awful whiny voice back then, and being subjected to it again recently with this reunion hype has confirmed to me that I have not changed my opinion one iota over the last 30 years. Probably the most overrated band in the history of British music.
I think the Blur reunion added fire to getting back together
At least Blur can put together new material, like the rather good album last year. Oasis won't and can't do this.
I think you well and truly battered the nail on its cranial region there !!!!
Thanks for your thoughts about this band. Oasis never moved, even in the days when I was buying lots of music every single week…I liked Blur, Ride, Suede, House of Love, even The Chills, and certainly The Wedding Present, among UK acts in the first few years of the ‘90’s, not to forget My Bloody Valentine
I remember seeing Oasis in a fairly small room within the Brighton Centre in June 1994. It was the night Ireland beat Italy in the World Cup so the band came on stage late because they were watching the game and were in very good spirits. They were excellent, very tight and of course loads of (sweary) attitude from Liam and Noel. The PA wasn't the best and at the end Liam already playing to type early on said "Thanks for coming to see us and ask for your money back....this PA is fookin shite!" 😊. I doubt there were more than 150 people in the crowd and the normal room lights were on (odd!), but it was a great gig nonetheless. I was already aware of the band and had some pre-release single promos as I had done some music writing for the magazine of the college I had recently graduated from as a mature student (North London Poly in Kentish Town). Creation Records was round the corner having moved from Hackney and the PR for them became quite a good friend. Roll on two years and I'm at Knebworth with my same girlfriend who came to Brighton......we both didn't enjoy it at all. The performance came across as a coked-up , self-regarding load of pomp, capped by Jon Squire coming on at the end for an overblown 'Champagne Supernova'. I do remember Ocean Colour Scene being excellent and of course The Prodigy absolutely killed it with the late, great Keith Flint. I'm not anti big gigs, ten years before I watched Van Halen give a masterclass of a live performance at Donington and had already attended some outstanding Reading and Glastonburys in the 80's and early 90's, the Knebworth just didn't do anything for me. On your point of former band members on the upcoming tour, it certainly won't be original drummer Tony Carroll! Most likely is Zak Starkey and I reckon Guigsy and Bonehead because for them it's a "Pay OffThe Mortgage Tour". Personally, I would like to see Gem Archer and Andy Bell as they're far more accomplished and able musicians who played on some of Oasis' finest work 'Dig Out Your Soul' and the much underrated 'Heathen Chemistry'. Can't beat 'Definitely Maybe' for pure nostalgia though........I won't be attending 😊.
Thunderbirds are GO!!!
Holy shit that's funny! Live action remake of Thunderbirds. This was national news this morning in Canada. sigh
There we were, now here we are, all this confusion, nothings the same to me.” They breath ultra confidence.
I think the Queen analogy is spot on with the musical hooks and the easy sing-ability. These feuds, whether family related or not, are all over the place in music. It would be an interesting video to go over some of the more higher profile ones. Hint.
Queen music is much more sophisticated though. Queen is caviar with champagne and Oasis is meat with potatoes... love them both.
The brothers from Black Crowes decided to get all new people behind them when they "reformed"
Steve exposed too much...
Their songs, charisma, edginess, they're very funny and witty, great guitar playing
I was always more fascinated by the idea of Oasis, than the actual band. I've watched Noel's press conferences about the break up more than listened to the actual songs. They give good interview. That said, I love the acoustic version of 'Fade Away', and some of Noel's solo stuff. ('Dead to the World' was recently featured on season 4 of 'Umbrella Academy, and I thought it was a lovely tune.) So yeah, they have some catchy tunes, I enjoyed the swagger, the idea that they were keeping rock alive, and all that.
Never underestimate the power of Divorce, alimony, and lawyer fees.
Liam and Noel = Kain and Abel, but drama is good for the bizniz.
Finally a take on the reunion that actually mentions the other members. If they're set to make a killing, then they could afford to invite them all back and play on the songs they originally played on swapping around the line-up mid show. Probably a logistical nightmare, so it'll just be Noel and the High Flying Birds plus Liam. Tony McCarrol (not Carruthers) got a lot of flack but his drumming on Definitely Maybe was all that was required and suits the songs perfectly. I always felt with Oasis that their drums were always too low in the mix. On some tracks, you can hardly hear them. I've always had a 'take it or leave it' view of Oasis so not overly excited. As you said Andy, a positive could be that people get into music that uses actual instruments again but I'm not getting my hopes up too much.
Hilarious story at the end, you got 100s of those? That's plenty of content go for it!
Another great video! You really have a way of story telling that is excellent, entertaining, but also relevant to the topic at hand at the same time, this isn't easy to do, I always go off on tangents and have to be redirected to go to the main theme. Awesome work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well I’m here almost despite the prog. I’m a music fan and find you quite amusing. So when you touch on other music it’s always welcome. I happen to have seen both Oasis and PWEI and my relation to Prog is slight. I have one Yes album, the one with Owner Of A Lonely Heart on it….and I’d imagine that doesn’t count and the one Prog track I love is The Four Horsemen by Aphrodite’s Child and apparently you don’t like it ! :)) Anyway Oasis, I’m intrigued to see how it pans out and who’s in the band. If it is the High Flying Bird’s drummer, Chris Sharrock 19:40 wasn’t it?….or was that Beady Eye? ….well he’s no slouch either. Keep up the good work.
This andy guy knows his onions ,im gonna check out more of his vids!
My favourite Oasis memory was being in Australia when Liam dissed a fan on a flight by refusing to give an autograph. Anyway the guy punched him. The newsreader said “first time a fan hit a sh*t”, and went on to the next story. 😂
Epic 😂
I like Oasis, I have from the beginning though they were never my favorite. Definitely a solid band, can't recall any bad tracks. I'd be annoyed if it's just the brothers plus random musicians.
I’ve loved and still love oasis since I was 12. Now I’m mostly a jazz fan but still love oasis. Oasis is Beyond words
And I’m, have always been, in the US. Like a 12 year old being like, what’s wrong with America, where are the oasis fans. Wth. Now I’m like, where r the 50s/60s Jazz fans.
Epitome of rock n roll stars
I feel a 'Top Ten Band Re-unions' coming on, headed by Van Der Graaf Generator in 2005 and Magazine in 2009 and Soft Cell in 2000.
It's depressing but predictable reading some of these comments. I'm a bit older than you Andy, my teenage years in the 70's. I was never really tribal though in my music tastes, loved rock, prog, soul and later got swept up in punk, how couldn't I being 16 in 77. By the time the 90's rolled around though I'd largely abandoned guitar based music and was listening to a lot of trip hop, dance etc. I remember my younger brother bought Definitely Maybe. Even though I was in my mid 30's it just sounded so exiciting. Yes they were'nt grest musicians but they had that swagger that all the best bands do, I always thought they sounded like souped up T Rex to be honest rather than the Beatles. I got What's The Story and was frankly underwhelmed compared to the first one. Yes it had some huge hits, but seened too polished. The rawness that had made the first one sound so thrilling was gone. Blur eventually went on to do more interesting stuff. It's ironic though that the famous 'battle for no 1 was contested with two of the weakest singles either band had released. Admittedly the feud over recent years has become tiresome but as you say it makes great copy. Noel can come out with some zingers though. He described Liam as "A man with a fork, in a world of soup'. When he heard Keane's singer had gone into rehab, 'What's he addicted to , Port?', and my favourite Jack White, 'Zorro on doughnuts '😂
The Who was the first band that had marketed internal conflict. I think they had to take a pause in the band when the internal conflicts were real. More power to them.
The kinks too
Followed by Fleetwood Mac and their MOR divorce rock.
love the reminiscing and stories, as Mark said, "never let the truth stand in the way of a good story, unless you can't think of anything better." anyway, isn't it interesting that the 'animosity', as it were, between The Beatles, and especially john & Paul, never produced a need to compromise their integrity for $. It was funny though, that they sat together in NYC at Lennon's place, watching SNL and chuckling that maybe they should show up and take them up on their offer to play for the $50K or whatever the 'enormous' sum was. very funny. saying all that I will try and grab a pair of Oasis tickets, if they don't break the bank.
When they first came out…I spent 20 seconds of one of their songs, decades later, here I am spending more time listening to a story about them. 😮
ditto.
Oh my you're soooo cool.
alan mcgees had so much coke ,he actually thought they were good,mcgee still owes me 50 quid for a guitar session i did for one of his acts in 92
@@dizzyupthefool5180 You realize it too…thanks
I used to know a bloke, through football, who music did nothing for . . . he was an Oasis fan.
Great story
Great overview Andy. Fan since 94, so pleased firstly that Liam & Noel would be brothers once more. Drummer wise; the final drummer (and still Noel's drummer) Chris Sharrock will likely be the drummer, but Alan White was awesome. Maybe we'll see somewhat of a composite with a guest drummer each night, who knows.
As an old-school Metal head, the only Oasis song to really grab me is Acquiesce. Now that has a great riff and hook! There was also an Oasis cover band doing the rounds in Dublin. They were called Ojasis.
I'd only go to a concert if they promised to have a fight on stage, that would be interesting ;-)
This did happen when I went to see Ian Brown. You never know.
Paul Weller as guest performer and a fight erupts with Liam? Lol..
I was never into Oasis, as you say, the songs made no sense, there was so much Beatles ripping off and I thought Liam was a twat.
Then I watched Noel on Glastonbury a couple of years ago, and I suddenly got it. As you say, he writes songs with great hooks, songs an audience can sing along to on the chorus, and that's why they're loved so much. Personally, all I can hear when the song is over is the hook, I cannot remember anything else of the song and Blur were a much more intelligent band and continues to make very strong albums every time they reconvene (last year bring the prime example), however , I fully get what Oasis are about.
East Meon was very happy last year - if you know you know
Great video, well said. This is important.
I dig big, melodic hooks, loud guitars and distinctive vocals, music with swag.......I dig Oasis!
Oasis' original drummer was Tony McCarroll, a good working class Irish name🤣🤣🤣
Anthony McCarroll. Carroll and McCarroll are common Irish names
That would explain the planned shows in Ireland in '25
@@richyalexander9206 Tony was booted after the first album and can't really play the White drums parts that came later anyways. But Gallagher itself is an Irish surname (half of Manchester and Liverpool probably have Irish surnames).
Aaaah, Oasis is already cashing in on nostalgia? Brilliant. I guess one of them ran out of them cigarettes and alcohol.
Noel's going through a divorce and is down to his last 20 million
I seriously doubt it mate. Just another annex for his mansions' (plural)😂
@@theasphaltworld849 his networth is estimated to be 80 million and the divorce is costing him 20 million
Already, it's been 20 years 😂
Ever had the feeling you been cheated.
Hi Andy, since you witnessed the 90s UK music scene, how about ranking your 10 favourite britpop/indie rock songs from that decade? That would be interesting for those of us, who weren't there and only know Oasis, Blur, Radiohead (I do know Manic Street Preachers and Travis too, but some of the bands you mentioned I've never heard of).
I remember I got a free Sampler CD with one of the music mags (Q?) back in the 90s. I was in my mid 30s and getting a bit jaded with music. Slide Away by Oasis came on and it was one of those rare songs that I liked from the very first moment I heard it. I hope their tour goes well but I can see a clash of egos after a couple of gigs unfortunately.
Really Free in November 1994. Also had Round Here by Counting Crows, The Day I Tried to Live by Soundgarden, Daffodils Lament by The Cranberries, Dead Skin Cells by FSOL, Rocks by Primal Scream, 4st 7lbs by Manic Street Preachers, Daddy's Speeding by Suede, Better Things by Massive Attack, Lady Godiva by Grant Lee Buffalo. Not bad for a free CD
I hope they’re looking for a well spoken drummer.
Everybody knows IQ or RAIN are the most important bands in the last 40 years, Andy!
I can't believe Andy doesn't know those bands! 🤔
Wait a minute.....I DON'T KNOW THOSE BANDS! 🤪
An Oasis reunion is the best news that the UK could receive after the horror of the past few weeks.
Didn't expect my home town of Stourbridge to get a call out! I saw Oasis at Knebworth for one of their famous concerts but I also saw Genesis at Knebworth in 1992. Genesis are still one of my favourite bands but haven't listened to Oasis on purpose this millennium.
Tony McCarroll's the original drummer. Good Irish name like the Gallaghers. Think he won't be back. Burnt his bridges with Noel.
It made the 5pm news in Australia, East coast, 5 hours ago.
No Bonehead & Guigsy = Noasis.
I think that Bonehead will be in the band according to what was reported earlier today in The Sun newspaper.
Noel's divorce probably is the reason they got back and as for who's gonna be back in the band?I imagine it would be Chris Sharrock who was Oasis last drummer, played with beady eye and HFB and Gem Archer who was their guitarist from the 2000s. The real question is who's coming back as their bass player?

What a year. First Soul Coughing now this.
Funny coincidence hearing you mention the Poppies. I'd just played my girlfriend, who'd never even heard of them before, Defcon 1 on a road trip.
I saw Liam Gallagher one time in Guitar Center in Los Angeles. Nobody new who he was and he was being ignored and looked annoyed.
I thought about going to say hello but what was I going to say.
"I f""" hate your music you w"""""""?
As they say -if you cant say anything nice.
It might be one of the later drummers (ringos son perhaps)
Not my cup of tea but for fans this must be a godsend. I will say, though, being a working class man I don't like to be told they represent me they don't and never have
For me it's the music and of its posh knows or working class I don't care.
Apparently Noel's divorce cost him upwards of £20mil, there's your reason.
As for the drummer, White left in 2004. I'm pretty sure it will be Chris Sharrock, who was in the last Oasis line-up and has been playing with Noel since about 2015. As for Bonehead, I think he might at least make an appearence, as he's been playing with Liam and seems to be back to good health after his battle with the big c. But I'm also prettty sure that Gem Archer will be there as well (again, which Noel for years and both brothers always seemed to get on with him well). As for the bass player, I'm not sure. Maybe Andy Bell will return, but we might see someone different on that position.
He's worth $70 million. I don't think he needs to do it for the $$, even if he did just lose $20 mill.
That elephant in the room is the cow that is going to be milked dry, and you have highlighted this. Let's not forget that Oasis were the not the only band to be at the pinnacle of the resurgence of the 90's Britpop era - and there were far better bands in my opinion that didn't get the limelight - especially during the Oasis vs Blur shite!. Also, let us not forget that all this was probably kickstarted by the likes of John Leckie and XTC under the guise of The Dukes Of Stratosphear... that's one discussion Andy that you should be having!😉
I was also the drummer in Definitely Might Be! I wonder if that was before or after you. I mainly played in Ian's Police tribute band (The Police Force) as Stuart Copeland, but did a few shows with his Oasis tribute too. This would have been 24 years ago.
I also was in the Police tribute band too! This would have been between 2001 and 2004...Jeff the guitarist was also on my Facebook but I think he blocked me after an discussion about politics...
That's funny! You were probably my replacement then 🤣🤣
Have you had a controversial conversation about politics? You of all people? 🤣
Sounds like I was your replacement. I got the gig through Alex Thomas...
He had it before me, and then I think he went off to Bolt Thrower.
He then sat in for a bit again after me so that sounds about right.
Live action remake of Thunderbirds!!!! Love it.
To be fair the band always changed throughout their original run. by their 4th album Liam and Noel were the only original members. think they had 4 drummers overall.
There is live action remake of Thunderbirds (2004).
Must have been a challenging gig that, Andy. Oasis employed some very tricky polyrhythms in their early material, very obscure jazz time signatures.
What a great Union Jack story 🙂
I love the Noel interview where he discussed Liam's weight gain. He said "Our big tits came waddling through the gates". Noel is an extremely funny guy IMO.
The appeal is in the sentimentality of the melodies; and I mean that in a good way.
Mad for it, man. Mad for it. BTW, you can't get a bucket hat for love nor money now anywhere online. Noel looks like a slightly startled Dec from Ant & Dec.
I like Oasis, but to be honest, I like Noel’s solo albums much more, I never liked Liam’s vocals as much as Noel’s too.
You could never top the original Thunderbirds to begin with, definetly one of the most important bands to come out of Manchester in the 90s, I would take anything from Oasis over Coldplay and Ed Sheeran any day, what the fook is that all about.
From Trio Of Doom....to Oasis!!! Gawd!!!!!😂
They really do think a lot of themselves don't they?
I knew a lot of people who had a music collection that consisted of a ton of rave tapes, Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here", Bob Marley "Legend" and Oasis "Definitely Maybe" and that was it. Noel and Liam will probably fall out with each other before anything happens but hopefully not.
Tony McCarroll. Not Carruthers. Do you want me to do the BBC interview for you?
Was looking for this comment. Lol
Andy on the phone to his former cover bandmates "Oasis is back on the menu boys!"
Oasis for me and many others a soundtrack to my youth, I was and am a fan but as I've gotten older I realise that they weren't really a great band musically or lyrically, but they captured a mood and woke up a very stale music scene in the early 90s (for that reason alone they are a great band ) and as you quite rightly state, gave a voice to the working classes (of which I am one). I have gone on to love and appreciate better bands than Oasis in the intervening years, but welcome this news and still hold an affection for their music (even if they did turn out utter dross like Little by Little) hope they record some new material as opposed to just doing the greatest hits tour
Weren't 3 of High Flying Birds in Oasis?
Oasis, Pulp and Cast were working class bands. Oasis were a great rock band, not original but like Quo, they had great songs. Their post Morning Glory albums are better than many realise and Beady Eye were pretty cool too.
Oasis - bruh! Only way to get me bye tickets is Andy in drums
I've got two words for the Gallagher brothers: Blur and Supergrass. Both infinitely more creative and interesting than those derivative pedestrian wankers from Manchester. That said, I don't mind Oasis and they had some nice tunes. I don't live in the UK so I won't be seeing them live. Maybe they will do a new album and that might be interesting.
Divorce is expensive, gigging makes money, oasis is the spirit to make your way in life nowadays. I want that, im garn 4 it. 19th july 2025 my 18yr old wants tickets to go and i AM taking her. Biggest tour ever this gonna be
It always seemed to me that Oasis were derivative candy of the bands from the 60s and 70s: they added very little and everyone forgot about them until their recent, predictable, resurgence.
