Tell Me :
Talk
Sigh! It would have been biblical!
With the Stones inactive this summer, let's ensure that this is THE thread of 2025!
I'm sure Liam won't be arsed either way
It would be a great pairing of course, Oasis and the Manic Street Preachers (who supported them in '96 at some of the enormo-gigs).
On a side note, the new Manics album, 'Critical Thinking', was released on Feb 14th and is quality stuff. A week and a half in I still have it on high rotation.
Are you referring to Jan Wenner???
He was removed in disgrace from the Board at the Rock Hall in 2023...
That’ll teach him advocating for The Monkees every year…
I doubt it although according to an interview in Record Collector in Dec Tony claims they have had some very sporadic contact through the last couple of years. It would however be very nice if he joined them but my money is on Bad Company this year anyway.
I'm sure I've read somewhere that Tony suffered a heart attack at some point, fairly recently. Perhaps this bout of serious ill-health prompted the contact.
Bad Company? The only thing I know about them is that Paul Rogers was a member. Have Free been inducted? At least I know a handful of their tunes!
Yeah that was horrible to read Al, I hope he is ok now. If Free is not included it's a minor scandal I think (That ORANGE sound!!). Bad Company had one great song that I received as a gift on a mixed CD 20 years ago, can't remember the name but it was a banger. Obviously Oasis are much bigger, just thought about BC being from the 70's an' all.
Free are not in and sadly probably never will be. Without a doubt, their song is All Right Now, and while Free are excellent, I just don't think they ever broke enough for the Hall to take notice. Bad Company, on the other hand, had several pretty big hits. Their first albums are pretty solid all the way through. As a fan, I'm not necessarily saying they absolutely should be in, but I get how they are a more attractive option if Paul Rodgers is ever getting into the Hall Of Fame.
As for Oasis, I'd be shocked if it wasn't Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Guigsy, Tony, Alan White. Those are the guys on the first two albums that are the big ones, and generally that's what the Hall goes with: classic and original members. A rare exception to that in recent memory is when they didn't induct Nick Simper with Deep Purple. He was their original bass player, and is still alive, but I guess he's not a well enough known name that they thought no one would care. Very rarely does the band get to decide who they want in (Metallica did with Robert, I'm pretty sure the Red Hot Chili Peppers did with guys like Jack Irons and Klinghoffer). Pearl Jam, in a rare kind of uncool move for them, didn't induct their second drummer who's on many of their albums cause they don't get along with him. Their first drummer only on Ten got in but Dave Abbruzzese didn't and that was real shitty. They were big enough to insist on that and did not. Nirvana and Rush didn't get their original drummers inducted, but in fairness to them, their classic lineups are pretty well established.
That's my two cents on who would go in with Oasis. The only way I'd see them getting Gem Archer and Andy Bell is if Liam and Noel insisted, and the Hall would probably only cave if Liam and Noel promised they'd attend. The Hall would do it to keep them happy, but if no one from Oasis intends on showing, The Hall probably wouldn't give a shit.
That is a relief…
Yep… for Liam. He knows what a meaningless farce it all is.
2025: it’s about one band, only. OASIS, OASIS! Let’s get pissed and smash thing’s up!
Coincidentally Danny Dyer's new movie is coming out on friday with a very fitting name considered the hedonistics that will take place later on this year. Guess it's raincoat time come the shows
It is a little mystifying. They were pretty big circa 1995-96, but I think their popularity dipped thereafter.(What's The Story) Morning Glory sold around 4 million copies in the United States. The follow-up, Be Here Now, peaked at #2, and all subsequent studio albums reached the top-30 on Billboard; their last album actually charted as high as #5. So, I'm not sure why they are not favoured by R&R HOF voters. Across North America, they were never anything less - aside from their first tour, there - than an arena-size band.
Edit: I've just noted on Wikipedia that only three of their singles charted on the Billboard Hot 100; Wonderwall (#8), Don't Look Back in Anger (#55 - BAFFLING, and Shock Of The Lightning at #93 Now, I know the singles-buying demographic is a little different, but...
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2025-03-03 16:09 by Big Al.
Well they sold out MSG twice and I saw them numerous times in the US in 2005 and 2006 and they had a very steady following and fanbase. It's all got to do with that if the singer says something's not cool people won't bother. Twitter is quite an outlet I've come to understand. I've always listened to the advices of Keith, Mick, Charlie, Townshend, Ronnie, Liam and other exemplary role models and that have held at least me in good stead through the years

It really isn't a head scratcher if a meaningless American contest of really little significance and even less popularity shows Oasis has bad polling numbers.
I had to fake interest when the Stones were up for it and that was a while back.
The only part of the HoF experiment that was interesting was getting to see the cool bands play together again. But even that got mucked up by 'all star' appearances and stopped being worth looking for
The guy never gives a straight answer and wonders why they use sources close to the band instead of him? That’s hilarious.
It's a good job I got ticket for the first show so there'll be at least one cool looking dude at the front WITHOUT a bleedin' cellphone in the film
Talk about your favorite band.

Yes Al, Noel stated in late '95 in NME that they were offered the support slot at Wembley Stadium but couldn't do them due to touring commitments. He was quoted as saying that "he personally would have loved to do it" but it wasn't possible.
Sigh! It would have been biblical!

A little convenient of ol' Jan isn't that?
In the midst of a reunion tour that building couldn't hold them. They better just send Bonehead and Guigsy to keep it civil

Welsh legends, The Manic Street Preachers, have been mentioned a few times in this thread. There’s been some wishful thinking over a support-slot.
Of course, we knew, but here they explain why they’ll not be supporting Oasis in Cardiff, later this year.
[www.walesonline.co.uk]
It would be a great pairing of course, Oasis and the Manic Street Preachers (who supported them in '96 at some of the enormo-gigs).
On a side note, the new Manics album, 'Critical Thinking', was released on Feb 14th and is quality stuff. A week and a half in I still have it on high rotation.

I doubt it although according to an interview in Record Collector in Dec Tony claims they have had some very sporadic contact through the last couple of years. It would however be very nice if he joined them but my money is on Bad Company this year anyway.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that Tony suffered a heart attack at some point, fairly recently. Perhaps this bout of serious ill-health prompted the contact.

Yeah that was horrible to read Al, I hope he is ok now. If Free is not included it's a minor scandal I think (That ORANGE sound!!). Bad Company had one great song that I received as a gift on a mixed CD 20 years ago, can't remember the name but it was a banger. Obviously Oasis are much bigger, just thought about BC being from the 70's an' all.
