Band enjoy massive first day album sales
Tue 07 Oct, 2008
As the demon-ted rightfully pointed out, Oasis inspire people because of their (GREAT, btw) early material. Not because of what they do NOW. Thus, the music they make now is irrelevant, and so is the band.I can't believe people can be so passionate about ageing, millionaire rock stars! Ben 89 sounds like a pathetic peasant sucking Oasis royal cock.Once, a long time ago, Noel Gallagher wrote great songs, because he was a nobody, a dreamer who wanted to get out of burnage and wrote songs that really meant something. Songs that still inspire people.I get the feeling now they just do music for the sake of it, its Oasis by numbers all the way. meaningless, empty. How many new bands will get inspired by their most recent albums? Not many - and if they do, they'll be shit bands!Some people need to wise up - just because a band was once great doesn't mean they'll always be great, doesn't mean you gotta buy every single new album. One thing is to be a fan, the other is to be an idiot who buys into a band's myth and willing gives their hard-earned money to a bunch of lazy millionaires!When i say i love the Rolling Stones, i totally mean it, but only the early stuff. Dont care what they do now. Same with Oasis. Love their early stuff, don't give a crap about the newer material.BTW - i'm always, because I really liked Oasis, always curious to hear new Oasis material, but as of lately i have always been disappointed. Dig Out Your Soul? They lost their soul, man...

I Disagree with Noeling.Album sales just shows that their marketing team is still very effective...and working hard!The Rolling Stones had number one albums (or thereabouts) way after they became irrelevant.Oasis are totally irrelavant now - they became rock dinosaurs quite fast, unfortunately.Dig Out Your Soul is yet another disappointing album, full of tired cliches and less-than-memorable tunes. I used to love Oasis but they lost "it" long ago.Of course, they still have many fans who, thanks to their canine loyalty, still buy their albums and think they're still good. To each their own, i guess.But today, by coincidence, i was listening to their live cover of "Helter Skelter" and it just highlighted to me how tiresome they have become - the Beatles original was raw, exciting rock music that really pushed the sonic boundaries at the time, and still sounds bloody awesome.The Oasis version sounds bloated, polished, over-indulgent and quite boring.Quite frankly, some bands ARE better off when they are on drugs than when they become boring millionaire dads with houses in Spain...
