This is fantastic, I don't think I've ever commented on here before but here's 3 in a row! I can't believe people who have such a pedestrian view of things, for example, "trading on former glories" - what does that mean?! Be Here Now was OK, SOTSOG was OK but Heathen Chemistry was very good and Don't Believe the Truth was excellent. It's so lazy to compare each album with Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory. Compare them to what else is being released these days, then tell me they're trading on former glories. Stop Crying Your Heart Out, Born on a Different Cloud, Little By Little, Songbird, The Hindu Times, Turn Up The Sun, Lyla, The Importance of Being Idle, Keep the Dream Alive, Let There Be Love are all superb songs that could well have lived amongst the first two albums. The ones I haven't mentioned aren't necessarily as good but still very good songs (such as Part of the Queue). And I tell you something, if I had their money, I'd be going to posh restaurants too. :) Just because they can afford nice things doesn't mean a thing. Disappearing up your own arse to me indicates losing touch with reality, and I can't imagine that'd ever happen to Oasis.

I completely agree with Jamiebb. The Arctic Monkeys are massive and the Kaisers aren't. Admittedly, Oasis are my favourite band and provided me with some of my best memories so I'm somewhat biased. But the Kaisers simply can't compare with Oasis. Very few can, because let's face it, how many bands have spearheaded a whole movement? Not many, and certainly none since the 90s.

Bless. Kaiser Chiefs? Successors? To what?! That's pretty dull. New album shaping up, cracking, lay into (arguably) the biggest band in the country. Good publicity! Other than that, this is pure nonsense. I also find it incredibly intriguing that he thinks Oasis think themselves to be Led Zep. Why Led Zep? Could it be that they reformed at the O2 recently? Mmm? Excellent powers of deduction there, Kaiser lads! Whatever. Drab.If there was to be any successor (again, successor to what?), it'd be the Arctic Monkeys. Not these plebs. Are they still going? New album?
