Are a Beatles tribute band.

Nothing wrong with that. Stuff they've done is quite catchy.

But basically, they're just riding on the coat tails of The Beatles.

Every tune or song they sing or write is reminiscent of the Beatles in their heyday. I like Oasis. Being a 60s child, I can see quite clearly that the Gallagher brothers have been heavily influenced by the Beatles.

And there's nothing wrong with that, either. Excepting that youngsters think that that Oasis have their own particular style of music. They don't. They pinched it from The Beatles.

I’m sorry you’re 30 years late. Or are you having your very own 90s revival by rehashing the Oasis - Beatles thing?

For what it's worth I know dozens of people who have tried to get tickets and they've got to the front of the queue and been either kicked off, or offered £300 plus tickets. Me too but I wasn't really bothered much. I have to do this for Glastonbury for my kids. This seemed less important.

Don't you all.
You're all just getting 'not another pointless thread' comments and/or will be ignored

That's not the case. I have read some enlightening posts. Well, one so far.

Yeah. Don't know why I didn't just say all that in the first place.
That's what I meant though.

If everyone made their own thread on Oasis we'd have hundreds of them. Read existing threads and join in, you don't need your own thread. Go and speak to the poster who'd rather 'stick pins in her eyes' - that'll keep you both occupied until Oasis inevitably split up again next week. 😬

Nah. Don't want to thanks. I want my very own thread.

No. I don't think so.

They were influenced by The Beatles, as were many fans.

But their music captured the zeitgeist of the 90s, there's no denying that.

Many of the songs are catchy, yes, but there's a few have real artistic merit.

I do, however, think all this hype is ridiculous.

I don't think it's about them. It's like anything these days, youngsters (and oldsters, evidently) are so desperate to be a "part of something". Nothing is ever just "good" anymore, everything is "legendary" or "iconic" and people get themselves worked up into such a tizz.

I think a lot of people who missed out on the Taylor Swift hype because they are not swifties, are jumping on the oasis bandwagon, just to feel involved and enjoy the hype and hysteria.

I don't know anybody that listens to oasis these days. But suddenly everyone is super fans?

Nah. Just mass hysteria.

Yet you were queuing for tickets? Weird

Of course. Isn't everybody?

Nope.
Saw them twice already, no need to see them again.

They're huge Beatles fans. One of them named his kid Lennon. They abuse their wives as well, so they've got that in common

That's the sad bit.

OP. Has it really taken you thirty years to realise that Oasis liked and were heavily influenced by the Beatles despite them saying this for thirty years and one of them having an adult son named Lennon.

In other news, the Pope Is Catholic and Bears Shit In Woods.

.....OK, join one of the pro-Oasis threads then......or join an anti-thread and convince folk they're decent....

Why can't I make my own? Nobody is forced to respond.

*There are several anti-Oasis threads already. Join one of those(

I'm not anti Oasis. I've said they are good and I like them.

So what's your point? We all know that they are influenced by the Beatles, Oasis even say that they are influenced by the Beatles.

I've got tickets, I'm going to see them, I can't wait 😁

See. Copycating.
