the music oasis used to produce will mean that i will always like them, they were the first band that i realy liked, and i made made alot of friends when i was at school by talking to people about them and their music.

i do like the darkness but they are definatley over rated and it would appear that justin is a bit of a knob.

[Adam]

Noel is a bit trouble by the looks of things..

Rail traack walking is not good.

The album could be on hold by the looks of things.

[Splodge]

I'd like to make it clear that I did like Definetly Maybe and Whats The Story Morning Glory, and I like Liam Gallagher. However Noel is a different story.

As for the Darkness, they're good, but not anything special. And the kiddies have jumped on their bandwagon, which is never a good thing...

[Everlast]

Rock and Roll eh. So if verbally attacked people on this board would i be a twat or Rock and Roll? I think peoples minds are already made up. Hell lets sling out slander and Libel and lets bring in Rock and Roll.

Tony Blair: "i just saw you comitting sodomy on a cat"
George Bush: "no you didn't, see y'all in court"
Tony Blair: "can't sue me i was being rock and roll"

As for Oasis, well one trick ponys i guess, listen to Oasis first and most recent albums and it all sounds the same.

[Quincy]

nice work there

[Sidders]

Oasis are the most sucessful band of the 90's and that can't be taken away from them.

[Quincy]

oasis were good, ok they are now quite poo, but alot of the songs remind me of fun times with my pals. oasis brings back happy memories for me and im afraid they will awlays have a place in my heart!!!

oh dear!!!!

[HoTdOg]

it sounds to me like the darkness fans are old oasis fans that cant mature...childish...

and is buggering animals not rock n roll anymore?

shit

[HerculePoirot]

I think why The Darkness are recieving negative posts is becuase they are now the archetypal 'mainstram band'. At first they sound different, it's okay to like them. They have deserved sucess at first, recieve rave reviews in the music press, more and more people become aware of them and they become popular. Then they make the crossover into mainstream, ignore where they came from, make the classic mistake of believing in their own hype and doing bits and pieces in Heat Magazine and All New Top of The Pops, Richard and Judy take up on them, the Kids buy thier albums and singles on release date, then other 'popstars' like Liberty X, The Sugababes and Mis-Take, start to say they're fantastic.

I'll have a bet with anyone, that if and when The Darkness release a second album, it'll get critical acclaim from all those people above, when in truth the music press and people who know their music will regard it as - a bit rubbish....

But the 'circling eagles/bandwagon/flies' effect happens to all popular bands. It depends how you largely avoid the mainstream. You could release a change in direction, perhaps non commercial album, bust still be good, perhaps better musically (Radiohead, Blur), or you can dissapear for four and a half years and make a comeback once the eagles have swooped on someone else (Stone Roses).

It will interesting what happens with Coldplay with thier next album...

[Ahh_Pathetic]

i like most mainstream. the darkness were amusing for five minutes but its over now.

as for noel it amuses me that people pay attention to what he says. he can talk absolute b*llocks and it becomes a story... so much for a spent force.

oasis are still producing good music its just not as great as the original stuff an people can't move on (see will thread...).

[Bridgie]

i wasn't that much of a fan of the darkness until i saw them live and they were incredible.

there's just so much energy on stage its impossible not to get swept up in it.

[Sidders]

It pisses me off that people have to tell me what music I can and can't like. I can think for myself, although some would argue otherwise...

[Everlast]

In my opinion Oasis have believed thier own hype and have disapointed truly promising start. Noel is an arsehole who is so up his own arse that disagreeing with him would get you thrown out of the band.

How do you define "most successful"?


Don't forget the Spice Girls

[HoTdOg]

they made more money than any other new band in the nineties

[Splodge]

No, that would be the Dave Matthews Band.

[HoTdOg]

i wonder how i sleep sometimes as misinformed as i am

[Dickie]

I have the darkness' Live lounge from today if anyone's interested pm or e-mail me and depending on the level of response i'll upload the to some web space.

[jimmy g]

If it was good I would like to hear it, thanks Dickie.

[Nicky]

Thought they were once again superb today on Jo's show.. Wasn't too sure about "Love is only a feeling" being released to be honest, but after hearing it live again, i'm a bit more convinced now...

Also, Justins "Gay incest" line today was quality.

[Guest]

cool thta would be good.

[Quincy]

Jennie bond has just said on "im a celeb" that she owns The Darkness album, and acording to kerry Mc, Bryan McFadden owns it as well! Also ant and dec just told andre that mysterious girl is being re released due to moyles.

[Aaron]

No need for a telly now......

[Sheep]
