Для всех любителей Oasis

Ну и конечно, спор затеяный в этой теме абсолютно беспредметен. Oasis - одна из лучших групп современного рока. Вот хотя бы высказывание Ларса Ульриха (из Металики)

"Oasis have got the best singer, they're the biggest band in the world and they've sold more albums than anybody, except for us."

Brian, в каком году Ульрих это сказал?

Primal Scream

Не знаю. Само высказывание я прочёл вот тут:

Очень интересная между прочим ссылка.

Повезло же ударнику Yes! :-))

2 Brian:
Думаю, он сказал это в году 96-97. Тогда это было актуально. Я тоже скупал тогда все их диски, синглы, видики-шмидики. Теперь же это утверждение потеряло силу как для Oasis, так и для Metallica.

Oasis Hide Their Love Away
(LAUNCH, 10/13/1997 3:00AM)

By Lyndsey Parker

(10/13/97) - Forget the supposed Oasis-vs.-Blur feud...the real battle is being waged between Oasis and their role models, the Beatles themselves. Last week Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher publicly called ex-Beatle George Harrison a "nipple" (a British slang term for "idiot") after Harrison commented that Oasis would be forgotten in 30 years' time. Only days later, in an interview for MTV Live, Liam's brother Noel dissed Harrison's former bandmate Paul McCartney. When--in light of McCartney's recent remarks that Oasis were "derivative"--Noel was asked if there was any conflict between Oasis and McCartney, he replied, "I don't know, I think he's just going senile, isn't he?" No one in the Beatles' camp has yet to retaliate with his own barb.

The Beatles v.s. Oasis

Oasis is a band of the nineties that is often compared The Beatles. They try to be like The Beatles only to do it unsuccessfully. The lead singer of Oasis, Liam Galagher tries to be like the lead singer of The Beatles, John Lennon. The way Liam Galagher sounds, and the way he writes his music are very similar. The New York Times Magazine said, "Oasis's second album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory", is also indebted to The Beatles. The singer Liam Gallagher sounds like a more nasal John Lennon, with the joie de vive curdled to a sour arrogance." John Lennon wrote a song in the seventies called "Imagine". Oasis just released a song on their second album called "Don't Look Back in Anger". The beginning of this song is exactly like the beginning in "Imagine". Another song off their second album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory", "Champagne Supernova" Sounds a lot like The Beatles song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". If you look at some of the lyrics in Oasis's song "Champagne Supernova" it talks about being lost in the clouds in a champagne supernova. In The Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" it talks about climbing in the back of a newspaper taxi, with your head in the clouds. Oasis likes to make a lot of their songs sound like The Beatles. Oasis's style is a lot like The Beatles. Oasis has, what is know to people as "The Beatle haircut". (see back page)

Oasis is known as the biggest Britpop group of the nineties. Oasis has been on the British Charts ever since they released there second album. In the last few months "Champagne Supernova" and "Don't Look Back in Anger" have reached number one and stayed at number one for a few weeks, on the British Charts. Oasis is a lot more popular in England, than the United States. None of their songs have reached number one in the United States. The Beatles on the other hand were popular in both places. The Beatles released their first album "With The Beatles" just a few weeks before they came to the United States, for their first concert at the Ed Sullivan Theater. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" hit number one on the U.S. charts, and, on this day, Pan Am Flight 101 brought The Beatles to the United States. At Kennedy Airport, 3,000 hysterical Beatlemaniacs came to greet them. When The Beatles got their first glimpse at the crowd, they figured the President must be landing also. Two days later, a record of 73 million people watched them on The Ed Sullivan Show, including a lucky few in the studio audience. The Beatles had no idea that they were so popular. The Beatles loved their fans. They didn't try to be like any other band or compare. themselves, to other bands. The Beatles had their own style, and were proud of it. Unlike Oasis who thinks they have to be like another band, to be liked.

Oasis believes that they are just as good as The Beatles, and that they are the reason for The Beatles, sudden popularity again in this last year. This is not true. The Beatles have been popular once again because of the Anthologies and videos that they have put out. The Beatles came out with two new songs, that haven't been heard before: "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love". Any band that hasn't performed together in more than twenty years, is bound to draw some attention to them. Especially The Beatles considering John Lennon is dead, and he was one of the main singers. It was because of the love and desire to hear more from The Beatles, that made them popular once again. It is not because of Oasis that The Beatles are popular.

In my opinion I think Oasis is trying to hard to be like The Beatles. I think that they believe that since The Beatles were so popular with their music. Than if they try to be like them than they will be just as popular, but that isn't how it works. They should just be themselves, and not try to live off another bands popularity.

I have shown many ways that Oasis tries to be like The Beatles. They try to write songs the way The Beatles did. They cut and do their hair how The Beatles did. They try to sound like The Beatles, but do it unsuccessfully.

Помнится Джордж Харрисон высказался в их адрес с едким сарказмом, ссылаясь на них в смысле, куда докатилась рок-музыка........
В америке они тоже не пошли, на их концерт приходило людей чуть более, чем на концерт "Машины Времени" :) Мне они никогда не нравились, их музыкальный потенциал очень невелик (что думаю, то и пишу)

Ну всё таки Джордж Харрисон не единственный музыкант во всём мире. Одни любят, другие - нет. В музыкальном плане их горадо чаще хвалят нежели критикуют

Texpert

"В америке они тоже не пошли, на их концерт приходило людей чуть более, чем на концерт "Машины Времени" "

А вот это уже самая настоящая неправда. 10 лет назад Oasis покорили Америку, чего до них не удавалось сделать довольно многим

Primal Scream

"Теперь же это утверждение потеряло силу как для Oasis, так и для Metallica."

Oasis установили ряд рекордов популярности, не побитых до сих пор.

Музыканты вообще народ деликатный,они редко критикуют собратьев по бизнесу.Только если уж совсем невмоготу.

One more time:

Oasis is a lot more popular in England, than the United States. None of their songs have reached number one in the United States.

bk***
Это довольно показательно.Британия давно уже утратила позиции лидеров в современной музыке.

papan
Совершенно верно.
А Джордж в своё время сказал примерно эту же мысль, и привёл в пример Оазис и Спайс Гелз.
Правда, и о U2 он тоже высказался:-)

Вступиться, что ль, и сказать, что Джордж относительно последнего названия был неправ?... ;-)

Mary-Key
Да он там не о музыке, а типа того, что из крана вместо воды скоро Боно потечет:-)

Мне нравится Боно. У него такой мощный голос, что некоторым певцам даже не снилось. Боно крут и клёв.

Слушаю All Around The World - Oasis. Хорошая музыка.
