Nothing. There is nothing I can look forward to when Oasis is involved. OK, if perhaps there was an announcement that, after one more tour, they would never record or perform music again, I could look forward to that.
Is their music really that good? I've heard the Beatles comparison before and, with no disrespect to this particular band, I find that incredibly hard to believe.
@Paradox me: The reason you'll find that most people familiar with the two bands draw a comparison isn't so much that Oasis is as critically acclaimed or as popular as the Beatles were (although they are quite popular and sucessful), but rather that they're so hugely influenced by them... which is blatantly obvious in their music (especially their earlier stuff).
Whether they're as good or even good is, well, purely subjective. :p
That and the fact that when Oasis first came out they said they were gonna be bigger than The Beatles. Yeah, the scrutiny fell pretty hard after they remark.
@Paradox me: In the context Lennon made that infamous comment he was entirely correct in his assertion. Shame that a load of religious nuts in the US only heard what they wanted to hear...
Exactly. He only said it because of the state of Beatle-mania that was sweeping the states, not because he necessarily believed it. He claimed that the Beatles were becoming more popular to people than Jesus, which in his mind was ridiculous.
I love Noel. He's right though, try getting a neurotic, completionist, RPG player to pick up a guitar and be satisfied with their level of play. It drives me nuts that I'm not better.
I've played guitar hero and I'll give him the point it's better then getting butt-secks by two ornery goblins. HOWEVER, it's definitely not the level of nirvana that raping raping two goblins is. I put goblin raping up their with cheese cake and elevator farts. To put it into perspective it's like Mike Fahey attempting the allure of a majestic unicorn...just ain't gonna happen.
As a fellow musician, i couldn't agree more with his sentiments, although not in the same way with the goblin laser ass rape. What he's trying to say, is that guitar hero and and rock band are killing a kids urge to pick up a real guitar and make real music, as it does a decent job of tiding those urges over by emulating the same to a dazzling degree.
@shawncres: Those with the will to create cannot be stopped, and those without it cannot be started. Guitar Hero and the like are NOT a creative outlet, and as such will not tap out anyone's creative drive. It can only inspire and/or delude, and those capable of being deluded by such a game had no chance of being artists of consequence anyway.

Well, John Lennon did say "We're more popular than Jesus" so I guess that's one more thing the two bands have in common.

Both are crap to be honest. The Stone Roses >>>>>>>>> Blur & Oasis combined. Plus Blur and Oasis wouldn't have existed without Stone Roses.
