Oasis reunion

[casey]

Serious question, why the fuck are the reissuing Be Here Now? The first two albums I definitely understand, but I can't imagine anyone asking for Be Here Now to be reissued.

Hahaha I was wondering the same thing!

The night they played Coachella in 2002 was the night I started disliking them. The same thing happened with RHCP the following year. It was such a dull, disappointing performance and it left a bad taste in my mouth. So much to the point where it's tough for me to get into any of their music. We saw BT's awful DJ set and left that in five minutes. We left Oasis after about 20-25 minutes. Probably the worst ending to any Coachella ever.

Interesting that you felt that way, I felt totally the opposite. However, I was 16 and it was my very first Coachella which, as all vets know, can never be topped. I often wonder if it would have meant as much to me if I was older. Still, the performance will live on as a good one in my memory.

No, I don't "hate everything" you fucking moron. If you would read around a little, I have made that quite clear. It's not my fault that certain people, such as yourself, only tend to read or respond to my negative posts. Also, who exactly are you anyway? Was your entire strategy to come here and troll in an attempt to blend in with the crowd? You're doing it poorly and you are worthless.

I was never as a big of an Oasis fan as you seem to be though. I was a casual fan interested in catching their set based on the 3 or 4 songs that I liked at the time. I remember them showing bits of that performance in the Coachella documentary and it reminded me of why I was so bored. I'm sure die-hard fans took in the experience differently, but I was pretty disappointed.

Funny, when I watch the clips on the Coachella doc I get all warm inside. Music is so subjective.

Anyway, I was somewhat hoping that the reunion hype was true because I was really looking forward to seeing what kind of reaction there would be on here especially. Womp womp now I have to find other ways to be entertained today.

haha how awful was BT's set? I know he's far better at performing live like he used to years ago than DJing lol

[Slubgob]

I too went to Coachella for the first time in 2002 because of Oasis.

Coachella '02 was my second Coachella. No magical reason that I started going, the concept of a festival was new to me and it seemed like an awesome way to catch a lot of bands. It has since turned into an annual journey and reunion for a random assortment of friends who may not have met otherwise.

Anyhoo, I remember the Oasis set primarily because of Liam ending the set by declaring "I dedicate this song to.... myself!" which has become something of a running joke among my Coachella comrades.

I never managed to find a recording of this show. If anyone has one, could I interest you in a trade?

Hahaha I remember that too! I have no one to repeat that line to, though. I don't talk to the girl I went to Coachella with the first time anymore. We went with her older brother and his friend, who went previously. Anyway, that quote stuck in my memory like when Prince kept saying "CO-UH-CHELLA!" and when he said, "I'm so funky I can't sleep with myself!"

It's one of the worst sets I have seen anywhere, by anyone. He had no clue how to mix and even let a record end, if I recall correctly. His live sets were awesome back then when I saw them, but that was just a complete waste of time.

Serious answer ...
Be Here Now: It's widely acknowledged by the band, critics and fans over here... that...
1. the mix was heavily influenced by coke, ching, snow, peruvian marching powder, call it what you will, making it tinny, toppy, lacking bottom end, nae bass - you get the drift
2. linked to the issue above and the brothers' massive egos, the songs are overly lengthy and could have done with a serious trim
3. fixing 1 & 2 will elevate it towards better fulfilling the massive level of expectation before it was released in summer '97

[casey]

Ok serious question 2... Where does it say it's 'Be Here Now' that getting rereleased.. It's Defo Maybe is it not? i.e. for the 20th Anniversary

It's the first three albums, starting with Definitely maybe.

I see it now - cheers. Always happens after the post doesn't it

[Mr. Porter]

I wouldn't mind them headlining next year

[blackchango]

I wouldn't mind this at all. Something about this video still resonates good feelings for me. Watched them in 2002 and remember having a real good time. I'm a fan though so this is coming from a biased point of view.

[menikmati]

And why is this thread called Oasis Reunion?

[nathanfairchild]

And why is this thread called Oasis Reunion?

Because some dummy thought that the announcement today was going to be a reunion announcement.

[shakermaker113]

come on, Menik. you've been here long enough to know how things work around here.

Ok we got it. You don't like Oasis.

I dedicate this post to myself!

[stiffmyster08]

Oasis sucks

you suck

[fatbastard]

I've discussed this with other people and not everyone recollected their 2002 set the same way. Also have mentioned this in previous threads.

Took the wife to the first 5 or 6 of them and 2002 was our first one. They actually sounded better live than on CD (kinda of like Prince's set with that unbelievable drumbeat).

They came out and we started singing, thinking that no one else would, and we were outnumbered by everyone singing every lyric to almost every song. It wasn't crowded and as the set progressed, we started walking towards the front, as people slowly started leaving. I'm going to take a crazy guess and say that people were just fed up and wanted to go home after a long day in the heat. Most people are seasoned now but I wanna say it was something that may have been a bit overwhelming back then.

It was a great set.

They were a highly rated band...and it's still early. My bet is they find another band to replace em....unless Oasis is going to reunite. When bands this high on the poster drop out there's normally some word as to why...this one has been hush.

I mean, it's clearly too late for me to be aborted.

[Heavy Metal Snail]

Are we still on this shit? It ain't happening. And even if it is, it's not that great. Oasis sucks, they've always sucked, and they've only gotten worse with age. Let's just celebrate the fact that Beady Eye won't be polluting any stage.

[MZAFRA]

Ok, so Beady Eye cancelled. Anybody knows if there is any plan to announce another band in that slot?

When someone cancels, they usually don't replace them on the lineup.

Though if they did, they should book Alabama Shakes since they're wide open during that time in April.

[MaxBlank]

Coachella is an oasis in the desert. Is that what you mean?

FUCKIN BEADY EYE AMIRITE!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
