Paul's there to soak up that Sincerest Form of Flattery.

Location? It’s really cool to see great artists appreciating the creativity of another in their chosen genre. Great to see Paul out having a blast.

He has to be thinking, wow they really did rip off a lot of our hooks.

Love Paul, I don't understand the Oasis hype. All of their songs are mildly catchy very dated early 00's soft pop rock that all sounds the same. But they are selling out stadiums and people are freaking out about it. The brothers are douches and act all hard while playing Wonderwall on an acoustic guitar.

It seems to be a British thing.

Annoy Oasis fans in a single sentence, I’ll go first. They have sold less albums than the Spice Girls.

I can explain the hype.

You're right about their music. It's ok. What really propelled them to stardom was the massive publicity they got from the arrogance and infighting.

Good analysis. Strong first two albums, but “superstar” status was hype & image & branding. However, lots of h, i & b bands make shit music; so a cut above that, but still. (Insert vague parallels to Ozzie’s post-Sabbath career here LOL.)

Nah their first two albums are classics. The only people who think their fame came from the brothers fighting never actually listened to the music. Ignorant slug.

u/Wotmate01 1d ago

They wouldn't have been nearly as big without it. MANY acts have become big because of the publicity from their antics.

u/ROOM-13_1975 1d ago

Nah as an Oasis fan he’s right. They have classic albums & songs but it was also the Brothers star power/clashing personalities to each other & to the press/media that made them superstars. It’s very evident that Liam knew it too

I feel like I've given them a proper shot. Awhile back, my friend who knows I'm a big Beatles fan said that they are heavily influenced by the Beatles and said I should listen to them. I obviously knew all of their hits but listened to a bunch of other songs and was not impressed at all. But by all means, if you have specific tracks that you think might change my mind and show more variety, I'm open to it.

The last complete sellout for an over-hyped, under-talented band. Oasis being popular is like Trump being the POTUS. It's a cult of personality. Fuck those twats. They're like the pouty, emo version of Insane Clown's Posse....

....sorry, and Oasis fans know this....if you like them, the rest of us question all your life choices.

You sound like you're in the band.

Lost all respect for Sir Paul when he made Hey Jude go on for 2 extra minutes every time he sings it on tv until the last time I saw it, it felt like it lasted 23 minutes. Nah nah nah No No No NO !
