Wonderwall - opinions

anyway, i don't wish anything bad on oasis as long as they continue to not make any records. they all seem like decent fellows, it's just a shame about the music.

blur should be fucking tarred and feathered.

 

[BigMoaner]

no it wasn't.

alan mcghee didn't sign oasis and then nothing happened and then oasis sold a million trillion records and were at downing street. a lot of other wealthy middle class coke addled wankers had to decide to invest time and money on oasis on the principal that there would be a good return.

alan mcghee did sign oasis.

The fact that you seem to regard record sales as an indicator of quality makes this untrue.

No.

But quality does have a habit of selling well though.

Decent fellows?

 

[el-ahrairah]

oooh, i can't remember the last time we had a good old spat in music. my bedtime now so goodnight.

 

[Orang Utan]

No.

Not really. Look at the charts.

 

[el-ahrairah]

alan mcghee did sign oasis.

yes, i know.

it's been wonderful. thank you.

 

[clcat]

Not really. Look at the charts.

Subjective again?

 

[el-ahrairah]

Decent fellows?

well, none of them are cheese twats. i mean, they're obviously scrotes. but they clearly have some standards.

 

[Orang Utan]

Subjective again?

I beg your pardon?

 

[BigMoaner]

anyone who pulls that smile over a table of cheese like that is a cunt tbh.

Tar and feathering is not enough!

Death penalty?

neither blur nor oasis would have made the bus fair home if some wealthy middle class coke addled tory in the home counties hadn't seen a way of marketing them.

You couldn't be more wrong, there. Oasis were on an independent record label, run by a Scot who worked for and donated to Labour.

“I was surprised how much I liked most of the people who lived nearby. Not just the nobs and the billionaires. We took on two Gypsies from the trailer park as cleaners and they fascinated me. The younger one was very pretty …”

i'll say it again... alan mcghee didn't sign oasis and then nothing happened and then oasis sold a million trillion records and were at downing street. a lot of other wealthy middle class coke addled wankers had to decide to invest time and money on oasis on the principal that there would be a good return.

Sorry, I didn't realise I was a page behind and this had already been mentioned.

Oasis were selling shitloads of records before the stuff you mention, though. They might have reached the heights they did because of that 'investment', but to say they would have done nothing without them is categorically wrong.

 

[Fez909]

Sony?

Creation.

 

[butchersapron]

Creation.

Owned and ran by Sony.

 

[Fez909]

Owned and ran by Sony.

How come they're always called independent, then, if they're owned by one of the 'big 4'?

 

[butchersapron]

Because they were set up as independent and as that term came to mean less and less it just stuck to creation. Mcgee had already done the same trick with the JAMC in the 80s after having signed them to creation then onto the independent Blanco y Negro - which was just WEA in disguise, they passed as independent too.

They used to independent but McGee sold to Sony after Primal Scream's success. They were owned by Sony when Oasis were signed.

 

[free spirit]

Owned and ran by Sony.

well, 49% owned by sony IIRC.

 

[clcat]

I beg your pardon?

You were being subjective about the current charts quality.

Your opinion is of course as subjective as anybody's.

 

[butchersapron]

well, 49% owned by sony IIRC.

And the condition of sale being that they ran the label and mcgee fucked off into the background and left them to it. Which he did.

Fair enough. I've been conned.

I'm intrigued who you're referring to now.

I'd have thought creation had the money via sony already to launch Oasis without needing to go out for more funding, unless you're referring to tours etc. Might be wrong though.

So? It's not possible to be objective.
