Oasis: beautiful music - nasty arrogance
Quoting today's rock quote of the day:
"I will beat the ******* living daylight **** out of them, that goes for George, Jagger, Richards, and that other **** (Paul McCartney) that gives me ****. - Liam Gallagher (Oasis)"
Although Oasis made two songs I really like ("Wonderwall" and "Don't look back in anger"), I personally think their arrogance is primitive.
Or is it just a game, a kind of strategy?
Well whatever nevermind...

I love the music of Oasis but they are quite daft! I think it's partly real and partly an act. But I overlook it because they are so talented.

In my opinion threy have very little talent. They sold themselves to a generation of impressionable kids as being an extension of the Beatles when in reality they're just a very average band at best.

Another major label hype. And that arrogance = ignorance + over-inflated egos.

Confidence and arrogance are not the same
Confidence delivers while arrogance keeps promising something that never comes
Self defecation just makes one need to take a bath
Ignorance is the only way new ideas ever make it through

I thought Oasis' earlier music was superior to what they did later. I think they kind of became divas. Some really great songs and excellent records though. That said I have no issue at all with them being nasty loudmouths, to me that's part of rock and roll. I wish today's mainstream rockers were more colorful than they are. Almost all my heroes are cocky, I'll always check out somebody who believes in themselves before a more timid alternative. Chuck Berry, Lennon, Cobain, Townshend, Jagger, Page, all those people think or thought they're the greatest. It's a good thing. It's rock.

I prefer this type of attitude myself.
" Ringo once said that Oasis will be finished "once they run out of Beatles tunes to rip-off". George Harrison, a few years before his death, echoed Ringo's sentiments, and Liam called Harrison a "nipple" live on MTV."
George actually had some more pointed words for the Gallaghers basically telling them where to get off.
A perfect example of them feeding off the Beatles is this fluff..
"Wonderwall"
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
blah blah..

Sorry, my first comment was too arrogant.

It's probably just an act. Like Keith Moon smashing up hotels and all the sneering at the cameras was basically a front to create more PR.
Wonderwall was more impressive melodically than lyrically. It's a surprizingly weak lyric when you read it.
I liked their first two albums, but the ones after than sounded all the same.

When Noel and Liam take a break from snorting coke, bangin' hookers, and beating the shit out of each other, and start making forum posts wherein they speculate as to whether any of our personas are for real, I'll reconsider my opinion of them... but until that happens, they'll remain the greatest rock band that's ever existed.
Cheers,
G
