leemond2008 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) My Oasis stats from spotify I don't know what the top 250 tracks are or how they are worked out but considering the amount of music that I listen to, Oasis are right up there at number 6.

I think it was recorded in Canada. I’ll have a look later to see if I can find it online. edit: This is the one Edited January 25 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that they have a new album out and a couple of songs were released already. Then he said the first song was “ok” and the second one is possibly better Thats a nice as he could be about it the day before they are in the studio. Safe to say they agree it’s shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billson Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) John Squire's lyrics on Just Another Rainbow are a real let down, particularly the bit where Liam is reciting the colours of the rainbow, that is terrible. I can hardly believe John wrote them, I was sure that was going to be Liam's handy work when I first heard them. The chorus of Mars to Liverpool sounds like it's right at the top of Liam's range so I can't see him pulling that off live unless they change the key. However, as expected, I'm loving John's guitar work on both songs. Particularly the solo on the first song. I don't care, I love it. I just love the way the man plays the guitar and could listen to it all day.

Genie Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Alexa just threw the Mars to Liverpool song at me by chance, and whilst it’s not great it’s not as bad as I was expecting tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I like both of the G&S tracks, like Bilson said, I love Squires guitar work, especially on another rainbow, I just have to prepare to mentally zone out when Liam starts randomly listing colours. Mars to Liverpool is decent as well, I've listened to both of them a shitload and I'm looking forward to the album 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeVillan Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Just listened to Just Another Rainbow and it's much better than I thought it would be after what I've read here (even though it's a lift of Waterfall) not sure I agree about the solo section being good though, was shite.

Fair enough...I'm glad it inspired you to play too. Then Oasis did a good job. I started falling in love with music late-eighties into the nineties, lots of Fairport Convention, Hendrix, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Bowie etc and then the alternative music scene (Soundgarden, Faith No More) which granted was just way more intricate and HEAVIER for me hence why I thought Oasis were just a bit tame/lame. I played Bass at this time with friends and in a band. I gave it up many years ago but funnily just picked it up again because I fell in love with the wonderful bass lines of Motown and James Jamerson. Guess it would be boring if we all liked the same stuff, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on topic, anyone who thinks Brian Wilson is shit really has got a micro-brain (pointing at you, Monobrow Noel). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, no I did not but it makes sense as that track definitely has the funkiest of bass lines. Mind blown, wow to be in that studio witnessing the recording is a thing of greatness. Legendary! Noel is an egotist and a plagiarist, I'm sure he commented once (drunkenly) how he basically ripped off a bunch of Seattle bands and of course The Beatles (obviously). A quick google search will tell you most of the guitar parts are plagiarised; there are many videos demonstrating this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
