I hardly think the 'if you don't like it, stay at home' attitude cuts it in the music business. And comparing them to U2 and the Stones is ridiculous, considering Gnr are a mediocre, irrelevant band these days.

Aerosmith and Bon Jovi are about the same price - standard I thought?

I thought Aerosmith was like a hundred quid or something mental at the o2?

I do agree with Mark though it is going to be pretty difficult to persuade some of my mates who were initially eager to splash out that kind of money.

On the night of Aerosmith, O2 started selling all the remaining tickets for half price. Was very tempted for a spontaneous gig until I found out that half price was still getting on for £60 with booking fee.

Exactly, I had my heart set on the gig, but there's just NO NEED to charge obscene amounts, and Irving Azoff can get fucked if that is his attitude to the music business, he deserves to fucking fail, no wonder GNR have become a mess of a band if people like him are behind them.

People will want to hear most, if not all, of AFD and most of the Illusions, not stuff off a new album they don't own.

I'm not saying that the band aren't good, but Axl's voice has been totally shot and all over the place IMO, not a patch on 2006.

Ok, so when I saw GNR at Wembley in 2006, I paid £40 exactly. A hefty fee, considering CD wasn't out, this was the first tour in years, and then Axl walks offstage towards the end. Combined with 2 shit support acts, this was a bit of a con.

Now, to see them at the O2 (A venue which, besides your Aerosmiths and Bon Jovi's, sells reasonably priced tickets, ranging from about £25 up to £40 for a normal gig), would cost me upwards of £50, with no hope of standing, probably with more shit support acts, and to hear a performance, which judging by recent bootlegs, is lacking somewhat.

Apart from a few diehards (which I no longer really count myself in), people will want to hear the classics. GNR will obviously leave a good 90% of people dissapointed with the setlist, and leave most people feeling like they've been robbed.

I really don't want to piss and moan, but it breaks my heart that I don't physically have the cash to go along and see a band I'm a fan of. Guns N Roses in today's world, are not very relevant, nor is the new material popular. And while the venues may be selling out quicker than I can type, the price will not match the performance, nor the imminent lateness onstage (which I'm sorry, but it has no place in today's gigs), and the band will probably come under a lot of criticism for the gigs.

Ticketmaster was listing tickets yesterday for £55, a fucking joke if you ask me.

Hopefully he won't walk off ill this time!

I'm quite excited about this, so glad they've finally booked a tour

Just Push Play might not cut it with some of their older stuff, according to fanboys, but the opening 6 songs on the album are the best openers out of any of their albums, in terms of consistency, and craftsmenship.

Hottest song on radio right now...

I listen to at least 3 hours worth of output from Radio 1, Britain's biggest radio station, a day, and have never heard the song, nor have I heard any reference to it. I regularly read the charts, read single/album reviews online and in magazines, and frequent 'up-and-coming' pages. I've never once heard of it.

Thanks, prick.

It's that my friends kinda know me for being obsessed with Oasis, so it'd be like 'Oh God, look what he's done now'.

Can you imagine the stick I'll get?

Digsys Dinner.

Just do it bellface

Oh god, my parents and a couple of mates of mine are trying to persuade me to do it.

I'd never live it down

Pretty Green are offering someone the chance of modelling a load of gear at their HQ in London. Thought I'd let you know.

And on a side note, I've been offered to take the role of Gem in an Oasis tribute band. I don't think so.

Liam Gallagher: Beady Eye will be bigger than Oasis

Liam Gallagher believes his new band Beady Eye will be bigger than Oasis.

The singer told the Sunday Times his music has "never sounded better" and plans to have a single out before the end of the year, with an album to follow in summer 2011.

He claimed Beady Eye - which features former Oasis men Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock - have finished three-quarters of the album, with each member contributing four songs.

Gallagher said the band will have a Beatles-esque sound "similar" to Oasis, with other influences including T-Rex and Jerry Lee Lewis.

"It'll be bigger [than Oasis]. I've got no doubt about the music, no doubt about me," he said.

Gallagher continued: "It's proper rock'n'roll. Oasis was a pop band compared to what we're doing."

The frontman also discussed his relationship with his brother Noel Gallagher and the domestic situation surrounding seeing each other's children.

He concluded by predicting the former Oasis leader will "come crawling back very fucking soon".

Last month, Liam Gallagher said that although he was initially "gutted" the Oasis split, it was "the best thing that's ever happened".

If he'd have said 'better than Oasis', I might've believed him, though would've had a lot of doubts, but I really doubt Beady Eye are gonna be able to do massive stadium tours, without the strength of the classics.

I love the man, but he just gives the fans nothing in terms of interviews, promotions, pictures, or a tour. It's bullshit.

I might've know you'd drop your worthless opinion into this thread. If you don't like them, why feel the need to write a post about it in a thread dedicated to them?

I said that I hated Oasis, not Beady Eye. Beady Eye might be good. Who knows?

Yes, but this is an Oasis thread.

And you're really cool.

Oh sorry, I thought we were just telling obvious lies.

Andy Bell reveals more details about Beady Eye

Live4ever’s Matt Humphrey met up with Beady Eye’s guitarist and Ex Oasis bassist Andy Bell earlier today. Andy had been visiting London’s bustling Oxford Street Selfrideges where band mate Liam Gallagher’s Pretty Green clothing range is currently for sale.

Andy was kind enough to give us some exclusive behind the scenes info on the progress of Beady Eye’s first album currently being produced and scheduled for release sometime next year.

He revealed that the recording of the Beady Eye album is complete with the mixing stage starting next week and also confirmed what Liam had stated in recent interviews: there will be 2 or 3 singles before the album is released next year.

Don’t expect to see Beady Eye live anytime soon though as they won’t hit the stage until the album is out. He said you can’t play a gig full of songs nobody has heard yet. Andy also gave us some insight regarding the songwriting distribution on the album. Liam has penned 5 songs on the record, Gem Archer and (Andy) contributed around 3 or 4 each.

The tracks on the album are a mixture of tunes that they had been working on over the years as well as new ones. Andy also confirmed that Liam will indeed be on lead vocals on every single song, but that Gem and his (Andy) backing vocals are all over the album. He labeled the album pure pop music, but rock n’ roll at the same time. Bell looked genuinely very excited, enthusiastic and proud of what they’ve recorded so far and is even looking forward to the next record. “Oh don’t worry, we’ve got loads of songs” he assured us.

Avenged Sevenfold have already found a new drummer? Fuck, money must be tight.

Another talentless slag.

That was nice for you to drop your opinion into a thread where noone will care.

Gags playing the same piano that John Lennon used to write "Imagine". How does this make you all feel?

Very wet indeed.
