I might be rather excited at the prospect of Oasis re-forming but I think itās important that the haters get to express their extreme annoyance at Oasisās music and fans.
Let them seethe.

I saw Oasis at the first festival I was ever at, I think it was the last Witnness. Remember stood watching them thinking ah yeah theyāre grand and sure thereās nothing on at any of the other stages I want to see. Mad to see the hype for the reunion, sure we didnāt know we were born.

I saw them 2 nights in a row in the point Depot in 1997ā¦we queued for an hour or so to get tickets from HMV
Liam didnāt show up the first night which I think was the night Noel was on the late lateā¦he did an acoustic gigā¦then Liam arrived on the next night like two different gigsā¦
In two minds if I want to ruin the memory by seeing them again. Iād say plenty drink would need to be consumed
I queued all night outside HMV Grafton Street for the 1997 gigs after a night on the booze in Fibbersā beer garden and didnāt even get a ticket in the end. Half the 16-20 year olds in Dublin were there, most of them with booze on them. The queue ran all the way back around Chatham Street and the Westbury back to Bruxelles and it was carnage and there were a lot of unhappy punters.
Friday November 7th into Saturday November 8th it was. Rangers beat Celtic 1-0 at Ibrox that Saturday afternoon with Richard Gough scoring.
I ended up buying a ticket for the last gig on the Friday morning 5/12/97 for 50 quid from a lad in school. It was a lot of money in those days.
Noel was singing, not Liam.
Liam did the first of three gigs and then Noel the other two.
The old Point Depot was a far more exciting venue than the Eircell Phones Arena. The long walk was forbidding and exciting as hell and it was the perfect length of walk to neck your naggin.

The song DāYou Know What I Mean was a warning to you.
The whole point of rock n roll is lots of drinkā¦ You need to be in the middle of the action giving it everythingā¦ dropping shoulders all over the place and you drenched in sweat
What you donāt want is to be one of those lot tapping their foot singing all the wordsā¦ Thatās the pits at a rock gigā¦ With the women and old people.

I wasnt a huge fan in the 90s but i still associate their music with some great times and for that reason alone I play them quite a bit. Their music has aged relatively well.

The concept of music āagingā is bullshit. Music is either good or itās not.
It reminds me of the scramble for Covid PCR test bookings online after Christmas 2021.
