Gackt Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 The Gallagher's are known banter masters, seeing people get defensive and worked up by Noel at the end of 2017 is surprising 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderram Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) https://amp.businessinsider.com/best-selling-music-artists-of-all-time-2016-9 Queen and Def Leppard are on the list, but no Oasis. It's actually quite an accomplishment how much GN'R has sold considering that most the artists above or below them have released a lot more material. Quality wins out over quantity. BTW, Merry Xmas to everyone. Always enjoy reading and discussing things with you guys. Edited December 26, 2017 by thunderram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k12 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Oasis is the most overrated band that ever existed, I hated that garbage and those fake poseur songs like "Champagne Supernova" that came out in the mid 90's, Oasis is just hype nonsense, GNR were an actual talented band and they did not need the "side-stage" antics to get them in the headlines. though the side stage antics in GNR were real, while with Oasis it was just garbage to keep them in the headlines, without the side stage antics Oasis would be nothing while GNR would still be on of the best bands of all time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's already been pointed out that Oasis weren't so popular in NA, but were huge in Europe. A UK or all European list would be a lot different and probably half of these artists/bands wouldn't be in it. Van Halen, for example, were very big and influential in America, but never had an impact in Europe. Also why compare Oasis to Def Leppard? They are both British bands but have nothing else in common (different genre, different time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) I also don't understand the point of comparing GnR and Oasis in terms of sales. Yes, GnR is one of the bands that have managed to be popular and make an impact worldwide more or less, but that doesn't change the fact that an Oasis reunion would sell stadiums in certain places.

But at least Def Leppard is another U.K. band and a pop rock based one at that. Not a great comparison, but a better one than GNR.

And also that is BS. They were huge in hype. In the early to mid 90's spilled over from the UK through MTV, which was still broadcast from London, but to say they were huge in all of Europe is a gross overstatement. Also to say that they outsold Michael. The majority of their success was in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez the Planet of the Apes laughing man hasn't made an appearance at your tour comment yet?. If there was residency between both bands at Wembley and the Olympic Stadium Oasis would probably be able to milk it for longer though.

But the key reason for that is that the banner at the top of the site, as well as the URL, is specific to GNR. Odds are most people are here because they actually love the band a lot. You'll never find me at an Oasis site. People there might be awesome, but I'd never know it cause I wouldn't bother to go there in the first place.

You should visit some other band's forum, their fans worship the shit out of the band, while the people here are often criticizing GnR, and rightfully so, but it's not like people here are positive about everything GnR related. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONIN Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I stopped following Oasis after Definitely Maybe and What's the Story Morning Glory, did they ever do anything on par with those albums again? My impression was that Oasis was a UK phenomenon - not a global one. Liam and Noel (especially Liam) are clearly fans of the redhead based on past interviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? That's a daft comparison. Manchester is Oasis's hometown, its where their biggest fan base and support is. The people of Manchester wanted "their" band back, in that time of sorrow. Why on earth would they be clamouring for GnR to play? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just bigger in the UK in general really. Oasis were like The Beatles and Stones rolled into one for an entire generation in the UK, they were fucking HUGE throughout the 90's-mid 00's, playing the likes of Knebworth etc. No one could touch them. If they reunited they would sell out stadiums up and down the UK and Ireland in an instant. GN'R are massive in the UK don't get me wrong but Oasis is a different kind of thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 As far as how fast a show would sell out for a one-off - the list would be Take That (w Robbie), Oasis, One Direction, even though that split was still recent. I'm on the fence as far as a Smiths or Cocteau Twins reunion. Kate Bush could easily sell Wembley Stadium out, but she'd never play a venue that big. Cliff Richard or Elton John doing a final concert at Wembley would also sell out in seconds. Now if you threw in Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd or Genesis (Peter Gabriel & Steve Hackett included) for a one-off, servers would crash worldwide.

I'm not from the UK, but I think a Smiths reunion would be equally huge as an Oasis one. Cocteau Twins? That's a surprise. I wouldn't think of them being considered in a discussion like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
