  1. I've met Mark Albrighton quite a few times, He's from my hometown and was out in the same pubs quite a bit when he was younger at the Villa. Also his partner's Grandma is in the same Residential home as mine and is always popping in to see her. Everytime he visits my grandma decides to ring Also his brother is my sister's gym partner, it is quite a small town! He really is such a top, down to earth bloke, I was gutted when it didn't initially work out for him here but so delighted he's turned it around Other famous people include Tim Flowers (who has been in my kitchen! Honestly), Kelly Jones, Derren Brown and Matt Le Blanc. Also if anybody remembers a band called The Cooper Temple Clause I randomly watched the 2003 FA Cup Final them in a pub in Wolverhampton #random
  2. Definitely Maybe- One of the greatest albums ever Morning Glory- Very Overated IMO. Quite bland in comparison to the debut. It has some great songs 'Some Might Say, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall' but songs like She's Electric are awful not what I wanted from Oasis Be Here Now- Mad as a bag of monkeys. OTT, Overblown and Self-indulgent but I really love it. Loud as hell to boot The Masterplan- Sublime, the greatest collection of B-sides ever put together. Noel must be kicking himself for throwing these away now knowing how poor later albums were SOTSOG- Criminally underated, it has some poor tracks but generally it's awesome. Gas Panic!, Go Let It Out, ****in in the Bushes, Roll It Over are all classics HC- ****ing dreadful. An abomination. DBTT- Ok but quite boring DOYS- Great opening half, shocking second half
  3. Loads of returned tickets went on sale today, Try ticketmaster
  4. So he has doubts over our title challenge, so what?
  5. Not forgetting the 'Prince of Cats' as well! John Leguizamo! Not as impressive as Flair though!
  6. Blimey! You psychic or something?? Say Messi is as well!
  7. Damn right, it's a mighty fine album. Might be my favourite Beatles album at the minute
  8. A song can bring something different to an album without it actually being a great song in a traditional sense. No doubt the other three had 'better' songs to offer but Octopuses Garden serves a fantastic purpose on Abbey Road, it's the light before the dark of I Want You (She's So Heavy), it's the reminder that they still have a sense of humour despite all the inner turmoil in the band. I can't imagine Abbey Road without Octopuses Garden nor do I want to, I never skip it and quite enjoy it for what it is, Whereas can I imagine DOYS without Aint Got Nothing and Nature of Reality? Damn ****ing right I can. The LAG tunes on a whole sound generally sound like an Oasis tribute band. They offer nothing new and add absolutely nothing positive (without a few exceptions from Liam on HC). My point is could Lennon, McCartney or Harrison written a tune so whimsical and innocent as Octopuses Garden at that time? Probably not. Therefore Ringo brought something different. Could Noel have written a basic 3 minute rock song to fill space better than LAG, of course he could have. Those songs were only on there because of who wrote them not how they fitted the album
  9. The Beatles influence on music and their collective genius cannot be exaggerated in my opinion, Yes early on Epstein manufactured them into something more marketable but they needed the songs first and foremost and they had them in abundance. From 65 onwards they became something else entirely and Rubber Soul started a run which is unsurpassed by any artist. In 64 they were singing about 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' 4 years later they arguably wrote the heaviest song to date in Helter Skelter, had avant-garde experiments with Revolution 9 and had pretty much covered any genre you can think of. Songs such as A Day in the Life, Tomorrow Never Knows and Strawberry Fields were like nothing heard before. Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper's, The White Album and Abbey Road are 5 albums amongst the greatest in history and were recorded in 4 years. On top of this they produced the MMT EP and countless classic stand alone singles. The greatest ever

  11. Massive Oasis fan but not arsed about the reunion talk at all. It all got very boring by the time DOYS came out (although the album was ok). Liam's voice was getting unlistenable, the setlist's were the same and they all looked like they didn't give a shit. It's only been 6 years Also the 'songwriting democracy' thing they did from 02 onwards was dire. It was done all wrong. They did it so rigidly, 5/6 from Noel, 3 from Liam, 1 from Andy and 1 from Gem regardless of who had the better songs. It would have been better if say Noel was writing the whole album as usual but if the other members brought a song to the table which added something to the album or was better than what Noel had then it goes on the record not just doing it for the sake of it. The Beatles had a great way of doing it, Lennon/McCartney write the bulk but if Harrison (or even Ringo) had a good song which added somthing it went on the album, if he had 2 or 3 they also went on the album. It wasn't a set number
