I must be honest and I'm increasingly irritated by Noel Gallagher. He seems to have a go at everyone - including many decent bands. He also has a deluded opinion of Oasis as he clearly expresses the view they will go down in history as one of the worlds greatest bands. As he says "People like Coldplay, but they don't love them. People like U2, but they don't love them. But people f@cking love Oasis".
Now I was a big fan of Oasis' first two albums. But even by the second album it was obvious they were exceptionally repetitive and had started to seem like a Beatles tribute band. By the third album it was too much to stomach. They built up a massive base and everything they've done since went to number 1 in the UK. But there's no way anything they've done since the second album is up there with the worlds greatest bands. In fact I think his post second album music has been very poor - although I will accept many would disagree. But even those who are a fan of his newer material would very rarely rate any of it among the classics.
its just his arrogance that annoys me. He's achieved so much. But he's embarrassing himself if he thinks he's up there with the greatest ever musicians. His music is too repetitive and sounds too similar to other material. It's as if he's rearranging the same song over and over again. His first two albums with oasis were released in 1994-1995. It's common knowledge he had nearly all his material written in the many years before they we famous. As he's hinted at himself, it's difficult to have the same edge when your rich, rather than an aspiring band without money or fame. That seems to me one of the main reasons why everything he's done in the 20 years since since - from 1995 to 2015 has not been in the same league. Two good years and 20 mediocre years.
So stop being so big headed and deluded mr Gallagher. You were great - but only for a very short time period with limited musical talent. When you say you get angry as people keep asking you to play your old stuff - ask yourself why as you are essentially a nostalgia band.
