I'm sure you did, petal

it's just like a band, they weren't that offensive and played one the host nations favourite songs, like ever
beady eye were at heaton park and it's pretty amusing that they're reduced to being an oasis covers band

Noel's new band it shit and all

I've got news, the one he was in before that was shit as well

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:24, Reply)

Well quite

You're about the same age as me right?
Didn't it just drive you fucking mental the way that godawful song was everywhere in 1996? Sends shivers up my spine.

Seeing as how Oasis split up because the tragic sibling bickering reached girly slaps level, why doesn't Gallagher Sr completely kipper his brother's new band by refusing them permission to play his songs live?

It was one of their more inoffensive efforts, what got me was the whole 'mad 4 it' personas, they were just cocks for the sake of it
Noel can't really withdraw live broadcast rights, plus their mammy would be furious

I have no idea about the legality of former band members doing live renditions, I always assumed the songwriter had ultimate say-so
I'm with you on their public persona - obviously - though am also grateful that it basically meant they sold fuck all in America. However I also hated every last one of their piss-poor songs with a fiery vengeance. They made Blur look competent. BLUR.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:36, Reply)

I don't mind blur, at least they developed their sound during their career, it weren't just the same song for ten years spread out over sixteen different albums

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:39, Reply)

On this point I completely agree
Didn't like their later stuff either but at least it was different. Their output whilst competing with Oasis was fucking terrible though.

He was nearly singing in key for about 2 seconds of it, too.
Actually, I lie. He was so far away from a key I can only assume his house has no locks.

Which band is that Rory the Lion?

combichrist of course

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:18, Reply)

I don't know them, sorry

( Reginald Donkeyfuck, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:18, Reply)

They were Christmas No1 in 1987 with "Fuck that Shit"

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:19, Reply)

Was that not Pet Shop Boys with "Fuck your supposed Xmas classic you whiny Irish fucks"?
Might have been '88, soz.

I turned off when the athletes came out, it was both shit AND boring
also, madness = shit, pet shop boy s= uber shit, emili Sandi = flat, 1 direction = bent...
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:21, Reply)

I want to know who Sande is sleeping with to get gigs at both ceremonies
The newspapers theme was also supremely misguided, I was half expecting Andy Coulson and Rebecca Brooks to do a duet on Milly Dowler's grave
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:25, Reply)

is this Sande woman actually famous?
all the others (even that boy band and the naked dryad woman) I recognised their songs vaguely, but not hers

She sang the chorus on a Professor Green song
and has had one solo 'hit'
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:28, Reply)

i don't know who that is, either
I must be middle aged

My only theory is that she's Scottish
and they've got quotas to fill

It was astonishingly poorly thought out
and even without the leverson enquiry, faintly bizarre

Agreed
Our newspapers are one of the things we should be most ashamed of as a nation. Along with Russell Brand and Liam Gallagher.

Exactly, just because we've only just noticed what a sordid bunch of con artists the tabloid journalists are
doesn't mean that the rest of the world hasn't looked down on them with some scorn for years
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:31, Reply)

They were a bunch of lying conniving cunts a long time before they got caught

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:32, Reply)

Russell Brand throwing sweets to athletes
doesn't bode well for any future drugs tests they face.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:31, Reply)

Did you see Brazil's little party piece?!
Drug tests are going to be VERY different in 2016. "I'm sorry Mr Bolt, there was insufficient LSD in your piss test, get out"
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 13 Aug 2012, 17:32, Reply)

Nah, I fucked off to bed the second I saw "beady eye" written on the drum kit.
I appreciate Oasis are popular even though I fucking hate them, so I'm not having a hissy fit about that, but I knew Gallagher Junior would rape whatever song they chose back to stone age. Checked this morning and lo, I was right.

I don't think it was any worse than it was in '96 frankly
It's the same principle as if you divide anything by zero it ends up as zero
