:D 
All I have to say to the topic.
I liked them very much in the beginning. The first 2 albums are still great. But everything beyond that

even theie shite albums had a couple of classic songs on
... and Falling Down from the last one was genius
WOOOOO HOOOO!!!
AND I FEEL HEAVY METAL!!!!!!
WOOOOO HOOOO!!!
AND I'M PINS AND NEEDLES!!!!!!
:p 
Seriously though, Noel was the talent whilst Liam was the gob and the c***.
A few great songs, some duff stuff. Too much Beatles ass licking for their own good. They kinda stuck arounmd so long that you didn't really notice or care about them anymore. Assuming they would be part of the rock and roll furniture until they become superannuated old bores like the Rolling Stones, arf!
I bet the Stone Roses will reform now.
I do find it amazing that people who dont listen to the band actually care and are celebrating as if its some kind of victory.

I missed Jed's comment, but thankfully it's been dealt with by Clayhead.
Cheshire is close to Manchester, and New Order have always been associated with Manchester and kept themselves close to the 'scene' here. Not that I use New Order members as by benchmark of much. It's quite normal to earn a couple of quid and move there, or even to North Wales, while still working and 'living' in Manchester. In fact, I grew up in a Cheshire postcode and consider myself to be a Mancunian.
There are, you may be surprised to learn, other types of housing than council houses in Manchester itself. In fact, within walking distance of Burnage, where Oasis grew up, there are some very smart areas with houses as big and secluded as you would wish to live in.
The real point is not one of image and location, but one of utterly selling out to London while still trading heavily on their Mancunian Roots, both as a short-cut to supposed 'cool' and also to excuse their more laughable excesses.
The result is a frankly insulting parody of my home town that is lapped up by a grateful media an bears little relation to what true Mancunians are all about.
I remember a documentary where the recently-successful and recently fucked-off-to-London Oasis were carried around Manchester in a blacked-out people carrier. Cue lots of pointing through windows at scenes of deprivation and poverty and proper terror on the faces of the bruvvers as they were forced to contemplate what might not have been. They didn't get out of the car, of course. They are not popular lads around their former homes though, so that was probably for the best.
They're not proud exports, they're disgusting wretches who take a distant memory of their upbringing and exploit it as much as they can while giving absolutely nothing in return.
Spoilt fucking brats. I can't stand them.
Loved their cover of Heroes though.
I remember Noel saying if he didnt buy his mates from back home a pint, they said he was tight and if he offered, they called him a flash git.
seemed like he couldnt win so I dont blame him for moving out.

Well done. People round here have been unfeasibly polite to you for a long time but I for one can't be arsed. You're a brain-dead cunt at the best of times.
Fuck off.

Bloody hell
Moving to Alderley Edge/Knutsford etc would also constitute selling out IMO. Once bands reach that level of affluence, London or otherwise, they generally start to decline.

I'll have a tenner with you that they don't.

interesting read
yes. and some of the subsequent comments are insightful too. I was always bewildered and turned off by their beatles obsession. as well as the music: the haircuts, fashion, sleeve design... quotes "John Lennon is.... John Lennon" [genius]. it reminded me of the band Darts and their anachronistic references. news update

Charming. Unfortunately I dont take advice off fuckwits.
I was at V festival last week in Stafford so got to view this 'last' performance. I had seen them at their Saturday show at Wembley in July - I remember I really did not want to go leading up to the gig, then on the day my mate losing the tickets!! I did get in, however, and it rained the entire time but I have to say on that night they were really, really good and reminded me they have indeed thrown together some brilliant tracks! The comapny I was with also made it!
V was starnge, Liam was obviously in a funny mood but once again they delivered a great show, Liam's parting shot was along the lines of......"i'm fucking out of here, and this is I am the Walrus" I remeber thinking that the majority of the people there were there just to see them, and how hand on heart, they were nowhere near as special as some of the other acts, for me The Streets was the highlight of the weekend and the best show, Oasis came down the list. Am still glad that I got to see them, even more so that they pulled out of Chelmsford the next night, there was something a bit rock and roll at having seen them and not being bothered and knowing the lot down in Essex were gutted they had not shown!
All in all i've seen them quite a few times and i'm nopt bothered either way if I see them again or not, and i'll never do a V festival ever again, either!

I was part of 'that lot' down in Essex and I couldn't have given a rat's arse if they'd shown or not. Awful festival with awful people and an awful lineup. Says a lot about a gig when the only acts I could actually motivate myself to enter the ARENAOFDOOM to see were The Human League and Goldie Lookin' Chain!

Obviously I did not mean you personally - but without doubt the majority of folk at Chelmsford would have been there to see Oasis. Funnily enough, at Stafford the crowd was much bigger for Lilly Allen and The Killers (who were really piss poor live) in comaprison to the crowd Oasis pulled in.
As for V Festival - I went in 2003 and vowed never to return after the trials and tribualtions of that particular time, but back in March of this year that seemed a distamt memory and V 2009 seemed like a good idea. By the time 5 months had passed and the evnt came round I really did not want to go, and had I not been 'the driver' would have fucked it off.
The walk from the car park to our camp site took us 2 hours all in all, with a stack of bags fit for a 6 month trip thanks to someone I was with, I was lucky my other friends were there and came and met me with a trolly. We set up in the dark, and it was truly the most bitterly cols night I have ever spent. So damp my hair was wet in the morning and that was after the scousers next to us added to the torture by screaming all night and doing fire tricks that kept missing my tent by inches - at one point I was so cold I actually hoped they would set fire to my tent.
Without doubt the crowd that V pulls in is genarally a pretty wank crowd, the atmosphere is really poor and it's quite a rowdy crowd all in all. I don't know if it's always been like that, or if it's more recent. I know V sell day tickets, and on the Sunday the place was jammed so choco it was a joke. waiting 90 mins for the toilet and barely being able to move around, I don't like that part of it I only those on weekend passes should be allowed in. There were miles fewer toilets than 2003 and the set up of getting from stage to stage was just crap.
I packed my stuff up Sunday morning and set of late Sunday night after the last show - no way spending another night in camp - even then it took 2 hours to get out the car park, instead of the 7 hours the following morning.
As for the acts, well I enjoyed a lot of the acts to be fair, I missed Human league while going off to charge my Blackberry somewhere but am told they were one of the best. But never, ever agin will I go to V again. I'm tempted to do Glast next year, but that would likely be my final festival of that kind, but I am told it is nothing like V and a much nicer environment, set-up and crowd.
Shame you were at the down south V though, would have been nice to catch up!
