I don't think I hated a commercial more than this one:
very bleak and depressing - bound to turn any day worse when exposed to it

Yeah don't even know if Shaka likes them or not, he's just talked about them as an unavoidable phenomenon, far more interesting

In that interview that version posted Liam makes a crucial point - they just got in there before the mobile phone camera era, so those massive gigs with 10s of thousands of people they did in the mid-late 90s, the fans were actually in the moment. That could never be repeated now. They really represented the end of an era in so many ways.

It's really weird and a bit disturbing, and baffling to anyone old enough, when you see footage of big music festivals and gigs nowadays with the seas of of smartphone zombies holding their mobiles up, and when the TV camera zooms in on people performatively enjoying themselves. Oasis blew up just before that all that nonsense started, so it's understandable the people who were there at Maine road or knebworth or whatever are particularly nostalgic about it.

I liked it when he said they didn't give a fuck about the spotty herbert critics giving them bad reviews. It's become a terrible cliche of course but you can tell he means it,and they did get loads of bad reviews at the time, I remember it well

'Attitude' really is all important with rock bands and you can tell when it's genuine and when it's not I think.

I do, quite a few anyway. They definitely always had their detractors. Maybe more a bit later when what's the story came out.

One of the things about Oasis was the pressure that the music press got to give them good reviews.
David Bennum was lukewarm about Morning Glory and the paper never made the same mistake again.
Britpop and maybe Oasis specifically was the moment the music press was fatally neutered.
The internet just put it out of its misery.

‘Flattened by the cocaine panzers’ – the toxic legacy of Oasis’s Be Here Now
Oasis released their third album to rave reviews and colossal sales. Yet it soon came to be seen as a disaster, and the embodiment of hubris. The critics behind those five-star reviews explain what happened

You're right. I think morning glory got 7 out of 10 in NME iirc, big letdown, which was fair enough, actually pretty generous. But after that the hype around Be Here Now was totally ridiculous.
The first two albums were unanimous and then they turned the knives around Be Here Now when they were smashing too much coke back i think? The B sides album is the best one really, by the time they are late 99s they're all over
Think Oasis and the big britpop bollocks was probably the beginning of coke as dominant force and final step in hibernation of md as forefront, mainstream resurgence of football, lambert and butler smoke abaft
Fortutious timing. I was a kid then though really so fuck knows

I feel like the spectre of the Manic Street Preachers haunts this discussion.
Perhaps that's the real opposition, not Oasis vs Blur but them vs MSP.
I was never into them at the time but I later met a lot of people really moved by Holy Bible - but if a last gasp for "rock as art that can change the world".
