Oasis

[info]bart_calendar says Oasis sucks.

Why in the name of all that is holy did the UK send these guys out into the world?

To say they are average is to demean mediocrity. Yes, I get that people like the Beatles, but what's the fucking point in worshiping a glorified Beatles cover band?

What's amazing is how fucking popular these Liverpool losers have become in Europe. Thankfully they only had a couple of hits in the US, but on the continent there are seemingly dozens of their hits that are played over and over and over again.

This is the type of group that makes you realize Vanilla Ice really wasn't that awful to listen to.

True story: When these guys were selling out stadiums in the UK about 10 or 12 years ago they did a club tour of the US - because selling more than about 500 tickets a night would have been impossible.

On the night they played near me - at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park - one of the dudes decided he didn't feel like playing. So the other brother sang all his songs, and nobody could tell the difference.

Think about that - how bad does your band have to be if one of your lead singers can just say "fuck it" without hurting the group's quality. And what kind of asshole says "fuck it" to his brother during their first US tour?

They also missed the memo that said that if you are going to be a complete asshole wanker rock star, you have to be a rock star first. And you have to be entertaining.

Axl Rose biting the ankles of Scandinavian room service girl is cool - because he's an established star and it's a funny thing to do.

These guys were abusive scouser drunks before they earned the privilege and continue to be do shitty drunken things in the most boring way possible.

It's like if the bullies at your local pub suddenly got a free pass from all bad behavior simply because they knew three chords.

Fuck them.

At some point you should mention the following bands to Twain:
"Scooch" and "Steps". The UK should be proud....
Although calling them bands is a stretch.....

P.s. Come on dudes, "Don't look back in anger" is a masterpiece.

And Bon Jovi come from New Jersey and not Philly, but we are going for raw emotion, not accuracy here.

Oasis sound like they should come from Liverpool.

Re: Oasis
I admit in a later post that I fucked up their home town. It's a fair fuck up since Twain in his Bon Jovi post also fucks up where they are from.

Greetings and Salutations!
Daryl Hall and John Oates have a ton of talent; it's just not the type of music you like. That you actually spend as much time as you do disparaging that which you do not like says a great deal about you. Frankly, it says that you're a jackass and that your gravitational pull should be revoked so that you can float away to a planet where miserable schmucks like yourself can revel in all things supposedly beneath you.
