I've never seen anyone butcher a song so badly. The singer was out of key and not even tuneful, and as for the bass break, the bassist just kinda strummed the string with a wall of fuzz. I couldn't define anything from it. Absolutely terrible. Oasis are one of the worst bands I have ever seen.......and that includes all the school bands I've seen.  |

Oasis are ok, but they repeat themself too often, imo. |

its definatly nothing special, and the bass break is the same as when everyone covers it really. |

Nick, there are a few million people who would disagree with you about being a dreadful band. This being should every time Oasis go on tour, and sell out Wembly, Birmingham, and Manchester in less then a day.
They really did save British rock and roll in the 90's, but seem to have gone downhill from there. The My Generation cover, i must admit is dreadful, but songs like Slide Away, Rock and Roll Star, Supersonic, Morning Glory and Hello just make me forget the dreadful cover.

| | | | Oasis are a substandard band. They may be good in England, but to any American standard, mediocrity doesn't cut it. The first Album was good ol' rock and roll, they think too highly of there abilities. |

and don't forget the british invasion a while ago(the who, beatles, stones)
and on the topic of oasis, I think they've got some nice songs, especcially on their earlier albums, and yes they take themselves seriously, that's their image(albeeit a queer one) |

I hope they die before they get old.
