bosstrabs Millsy The Gallagher lean back swagger that every wanker in a 200 mile radius of Manchester adopted was laughable then and laughable now. Singalonga student music for whiffs Manchester to Southampton is 225 miles, I notice, just conveniently excluding you and your Craig David mates but including almost the entire rest of the country.
bosstrabs A bloke I used to work with was from Southampton and actually made Craig David change his number around the time he was really famous, which I think is a great pub story for the ages. Apparently he acquired David’s phone number via a mutual acquaintance and then pestered the Garage ledge at all hours whenever him and his mates were hammered, until he had to change it.
Millsy I always preferred East 17 to Oasis. Proper songwriters and performers with a troubled front man. Oasis were just a copycat group all things considered.
Smallman1 hugopal They’re absolute gash, of course smalls likes them. Suspect you’re more of a Cabaret Voltaire man aren’t you Hugo? Of course you are you absolute clown.
-si- A once great band fronted by two shit cunts. Anyone who can’t hear that definitely maybe and what’s the story are great albums is tone deaf. There was some shite around that time. Suede anyone?
Mad_Cyril A few decent, if a little formulaic, tunes early doors. Played up to fuck on their roots, then fucked off to London - where they’re still probably considered edgy. A walking self-parody, good fucking riddance.
seanc80 Wasn’t a fan at all. Thought their song writing was childlike and really over did the arrogance to the point where it was a '‘show’. Liam as a frontman was top drawer though in fairness. I just thought that other bands of a similar ilk were far more talented and more interesting, such as Stone Roses, Verve Richrad Ashcroft (post-Verve)
Along_the_Wire I’ll give them Definitely Maybe, the rest, apart from a handful of b-sides, is absolute tripe.
Smallman1 Along_the_Wire Ed, you forgot your low hanging fruit tab. Lol, thought I’d snuck it in under the radar!
Along_the_Wire Is this the thread where I tell the story about watching them to Top of Pops with Live Forever and then jump on the Northern Line to The Astoria to see them live in the same clothes. One of the most electric, atmospheric gigs I’ve ever been to. I went on my own as I could only get one single ticket.
Smallman1 Millsy Ed is blatantly more a Blur man surely? Madness. As in the band not the suggestion that I’m more of a Blur man.
bosstrabs IMO Morning Glory is an absolutely scandalous act of plagiarism, I’m surprised they only had to remove one track.
alistair bosstrabs so what? every band/act has begged, stolen or borrowed to a degree. Nile Rodgers is still waiting to be paid by every rapper that has ripped off Chic
