NEWKID 27,103 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 I think anyone with any music nous will know the 90s was a revival of 60s based guitar rock, the bands were queing up and we were lucky, imo, to be a part of it...I'd of loved to have seen it first time round in the 60s, the break from rock and roll/ rhythm.and blues into what we now see as rock music.. bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, THE Who, The Kinks, The Small Faces, The Yardbirds...etc etc...trail blazers, to set it up for all those to follow.. it wasn't really until House music and Hip.Hop that anything broke the mould, even disco, funk etc takes its core from.those early rock and roll bands... the 90s and all of those bands were tipping their hat to the past, it was massively British, it moved a whole generation for the first time in 30 years imo... we waited for Defintely Maybe, ParkLife, Moseley Shoals, Different Class etc...all to come out...there was genuine excitement about music...the house scene was massive, the Brit pop scene was massive, America chucked Grunge into the melting pot.. Hip.hop was at its peak.. you could watch bands every weekend, I tried to... I love the 60s I recognise its importance, it annoys me a bit that the 60s crowd decry everything as copying, what else is there, it had all been done before...the Beatles were ripping off Chuck Berry but were hailed as the greatest ever.... 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 7,957 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Everybody borrows musical styles imo. You could argue Michael Jackson was a tribute act to James Brown. And Brown lists many artists as his inspiration. Jackson wasn't even ghe first to display the moonwalk. I always think Clapton has earned an exceptional living from copying America's blues artists. American blues, now you're talking. I listen to it a lot but not when 'she who must be obeyed' is in earshot. She says It's miserable bollocks. Not true. My favourite from the 60s is Peter Green who played with John Mayall and Fleetwood Mac. The word genius is banded about too readily, but it fits him. A bluesman that the likes of BB King said his notes gave him the cold sweats. How did a self taught kid from a council house write Albatross? That's not even my favourite. He spent a lot of his life locked up in asylums after a bad LSD trip but was released and formed a new band. I was determined to go and see him but sadly he died before I got round to it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only true voice for British males in that period , who spoke to a generation of us , regardless of who we all listened to , the single common thread is oasis . I saw then described as arrogant , shite . Noel Gallagher has every right to be arrogant . He wrote arguably the uks greatest album , song and b side collection . Live forever ( written about his brother Liam ) is arguably the greatest friendship song ever written and is often voted the uks greatest song. a sign of Noel’s genius is that he wrote a song called all around the world , and sat on it for more that a decade until the band could afford an orchestra to play it. He also in my opinion wrote the best song ever recorded , ( masterplan) and threw it away buried in a b side . they just did not care about the traditional route to success . They are completely unique in that regard. They were five lads from council estates in Manchester when they started and that’s what they have remained throughout . Are they the world’s greatest band ? probably not , but there’s not many better . You can’t compare them to anyone else really for the influence and the impact they had over the last thirty years. in a way I don’t want them to get back , I want them to be the oasis they were . They can’t be . but it will be fun to see them back again . I don't agree with a word but I enjoyed the read and the enthusiasm. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 5,217 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Not a superfan by any stretch but I’ll try for tickets on Saturday, although not holding out much hope. Reckon there’ll be 10x as many disappointed as get tickets. I also think they’ll be fcuking extortionate. Average Taylor Swift tickets were about 500 brick.., I think these will be at least that. This is a lottery ticket they were always going to cash in but I wonder why now. First time I saw them was the first T in the Park in July ‘94. Sure I paid less than £50 for the weekend. Those were the days! 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 5,217 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Oh, and I really, really, really hope that they manage to ban mobile phones from every gig. All the millennials will probably have some sort of a meltdown or malfunction. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Del Amitri headlining, used to love that band, my first gig was REM abd Del Amitri were the support, old Cardiff Arms Park early 90s, our car was broken into, smashed the front drivers window in and nicked the stereo, f***ing freezing on the drive home sat in the back with the wind blowing in going down the M5 lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
