Liam Gallagher

[Firestorm]

It's all an act, playing the part of the rebellious rock star, to my mind he's becoming a bit of a parody of himself. When Oasis first burst onto the scene he was like a breath of fresh air, at their peak he was the best frontman on the planet.

However they haven't made a decent record in over 10 years so all this posturing is getting a bit tiresome to be honest.

I said exactly the same to Mrs FS last night.

The bloke has turned into a sad old cliche really , its a difficult one though, Rock n Roll should be edgy and confrontational but as the Rock and Roll culture enters its 6th decade there is an increasing number of great practioners of the art who are still around thus making the lifestyle and music elements of the culture increasingly seperate.

Bono/Martin\Sting etc were never cutting edge rebellion rock and roll and have largely evolved from middle class safe teen rebellion into middle class safe middle aged hippies.

Oasis were working class youth rebellion and gallagher does not actually appear to have managed to leave that behind,

Gallagher was bad, but Kasabian pretending to be Gallagher was even worse.

And the Kaiser Chiefs pretending to be an edgier Kasabian are downright atrocious.

But kaye calling jls a all black version of bucks fizz was classic.

Yeah, that JPS band are crap. I reckon B & H would have been a better name.

To be honest, considering it was supposed to be a celebration of British music all the the UK acts/ winners were sh*t compared to the US acts. The British duet was poorly conceived compared to the Jay-z and Alicia Keys effort and Lady GaGa, who I'm not particularly a fan of, was infinitely better than that shambolic Cheryl Cole effort. Our "top acts" like Lilly Allen have totally bombed in the US and it doesn't take a genius to understand why. The ad breaks that featured the brilliant Pet Shop Boys made it all seem even worse.

100% spot on. The Gallagher brothers disappeared up their own fundaments at approximately the same time as they released the charlie-addled nonsense that is Be Here Now.

Sadly, they ceased being relevant some time ago - it's just that neither of them has realised it yet.

Hey ho.

Couldn't agree more. Every time I pick up one of their albums I put it back down and listen to something else for the simple reason that I think they're a bunch of pricks and I don't want to listen to them anymore, however good I thought they used to be.

I loved Oasis at the outset but went off them pretty quickly.

Liam was always an idiot, in the early days it was nice to see someone with attitude but now he just looks pathetic. Noel I always found witty and intelligent, although obviously well up himself.

Favourite Oasis memory for me was the unplugged session when he was "'ill' and Noel sang....

As someone who came of age in the mid-90s, I will always have soft spot for Oasis. With their behaviour over the years it's easy to forget how great they were in their day. For me, they single handedly dragged British guitar music back into popularity, following some dreadfully painful crap from the likes of Suede etc...

Ah, Suede and Bernard Butler are amazing. Their first album is seminal Indie.

Big Oasis fan , although It was no surprise to me that they called it a day , the tour last year proved that no one is interested in their new music and Wembley was nearly silent when they was playing there new material .

Add to that the fact that Kasabian as their support act absolutely smashed the place compaired to them must of hurt and they must of known they are no where near what they were and that music moves on .

What he did last night is just to get colomn inches , he's a showman and this is showbiz .
