That's good to know, thanksYep-some of our lot were of the same opinion and just had to end up walking as it was 90 minutes minimum wait for the trams etc.
Hopefully they might have it sorted next time
Oasis Reunion (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter Saddlebrains
- Start date
So, after Friday night we (me and missus DT-R) went straight up to Snowdon for a few nights and just got back to the land of Internet. Wow, what a night, what a gig, what a day.
It's clear how much this tour, and the band actually mean to LG. He gets a lot of shit over his actions of the past and a lot of the time with good reason. But its clear he's been doing some form of voice training. His voice was top notch. Best I've heard him in a very long time. Good set list. Great firework finally. My one and only criticism was that any song with brass and/or strings in them, were played in by a backing track. For such a huge and public tour with so many eyes (and it really think, their lap of honour and final tour) they couldve got some musicians to tour with them and really made a spectacle of it. Other that that, it was great. Loved every minute. I do really feel though, that a possible few nights at Knebworth aside, this really is more about their final goodbyes and a lap of honour.
Also seen 2 cov fans in the wild. To the one in the red ribero shirt who i shouted PUSB to just as Richard Ashcroft came on, if you're on here, thanks for spilling half your cider down my missus back
his mate followed him and apologised on his behalf.

The whole thing is about making as much money as possible after NG’s divorce. It’s inevitable that they’ll do a European tour in 2026, including playing again in the UK.So, after Friday night we (me and missus DT-R) went straight up to Snowdon for a few nights and just got back to the land of Internet.

They’ll be back when he gets divorced again. Money talks
Of course its about making money. People seem so hung up on the whole "they're only doing it for the payday" line. What does EVERY musician do a tour for? For the fucking money. Everything is about money. Taylor Swift did that HUGE tour that seemed to last 6 years. The talk around that was how amazing it was she was doing so many dates and how strong and independent she was etc. She'd of made double what Oasis did as a solo artist. Not one single person has mentioned her touring and making so much money.
Did you wake up this morning and go to work out of the love for your boss and enjoyment of the day? Did you fuck, you did it for the money.
Like I said in my post, LG especially for me felt like it wasn't just the money. Yes, they've money is fucking great, but he genuinely is in it for his band. Hes taking this tour seriously. Whether his voice will go the distance we will see, but he's certainly been working on it so it wouldn't surprise me if it does last the tour.

I think it’s more the fact there wouldn’t be a tour if he wasn’t getting divorced.
That along with the whole dynamic ticket pricing debacle makes the whole thing abit of a money grab.

I mean, money aside, she couldn't stand Liam and is mostly the reason the brothers weren't talking so with her still in the picture there wouldn't be a tour.
I'm not saying money isn't a massive factor in the reunion, but it didnt feel like a money grab at the gig. They've put in a fair bit of work behind the scenes to make sure theyre sounding great. It's a good, long set with plenty of variety. Like I say, my only criticism is they couldve got a few strings and brass instruments involved and it wouldn't of taken too much out of their profit margin.

Don't get me started on Taylor Swift. Got to hand it to her she's got amazing PR because every move she makes goes unquestioned and passed off as some revolutionary 'changing the music business' idea.
Remember years ago when she first came over I was working in the industry at the time and went to a thing where Scott Borchetta, the guy who signed her, was speaking. He was talking about how they had a plan for her in Europe which involved her being over here at least once a year, pretty much unheard of for a country artist at that time, and the budget for that was well into 7 figures. But when she wanted to walk away she was happy to make out he'd done fuck all because he wouldn't hand over her entire catalog, that he had bankrolled, for free.
Then there was the whole re-recording thing. Was made out like nobody had ever done it before despite it being a very common thing for bands who don't own their rights, which is pretty much every band. Normally because they're a one hit wonder who over the lifetime of their career haven't recouped the label investment so don't get much in the way of royalties. Then to top it off when she finally buys the rights back, which was an option all along, that's also lauded as some genius move.
As well as getting people to pay to buy releases they've already got, and multiple versions of them, she's pumping out very expensive merchandise at an astonishing rate which given the demographic of her fanbase isn't really on.
If someone like Oasis did the same people would be going nuts but when she does it everyone is saying its amazing.

I'm glad I live in a world where this is the only way I find out what Taylor Swift is up to

I see they've closed off 'Gallagher Hill' for the next 3 shows.
Not in it for the money, only doing it for an expenses paid world tour? Aka, the money/benefits.

Some grassroots artists it will cost them money to tour i don't think you get the idea of it ? Not every touring musician is playing to 20k+ crowds every night .

Lol, Taylor Swift and some random old band from Manchester are on different levels I’m afraid.
Facts are, if any of the members of Oasis were any good, they wouldn’t need to get back together. Can’t imagine anyone with talent such as Taylor or any member of talented bands such as 1D will ever find themselves as skint and desperate as Oasis.
