Oasis set to split?

[Heston]

I like Oasis about as much as I like JD. They have a few decent tunes, I will give them that.

Kiss' Black Diamond is superior. It has guitar heroics. Quit praising The Replacements' version, you are showing hipster "ironic" tendencies.

It's not irony to prefer a rock band to a bunch of made up twats.

Don't have both handy, but I remember the Kiss version being more rock what with over the top guitar wanking and yelling.

You are exactly the opposite of right.

Seriously, the Replacements having guitar wanking?

I was gonna re-post the YouTube videos for comparison, but it seems the Replacements' version has been deleted due to copyright infringement and being totally shit.

I read it as Hoy saying the Kiss version has the over the top guitar wanking and yelling. And that this is a good thing.

Upon rereading, you are correct in your interpretation.

But your anti-Replacements stance has long been on record.

Anti-Replacements? Is that possible?

I remember at one point years ago (like 2004), Hoykworm said something along the lines of the only 'Mats song he liked was "Bastards of Young."

Que? On the topic of Black Diamond in particular and Kiss vs. The Replacements in general, I side with The Replacements. Indeed, I believe it was my shiv to his groin that surprised Heston in the poll. My "good thing" comment was a continuation of the interpretation of Hoy.

Not untrue. Not a big Replacements fan, but they're better than Kiss.

I like a few of their tunes. Bastards is probably my favorite though.

I took a few knees to the groin in that poll, but you're all wrong (Hoy excepted, of course).

[Dr. Medulla]

you're all wrong (Hoy excepted, of course).

[Wolter]

I retract my statement about Dr. Medulla and the Replacements and get back to what's really important:

Oasis is largely boring.

[Heston]

Then we're in agreement, though I would say Oasis ARE largely boring. Is this another North Atlantic division thing?

I guess I was thinking of Oasis as a single boring entity, not an aggregate thereof. It's more likely US regional dialect differentiation than a pure NA/UK split. In fact, in hindsight, "are" sounds more right to my ears as well.

[Heston]

In fact, in hindsight, Kiss' version of Black Diamond sounds more right to my ears as well.

Thanks Wolt.

[Dr. Medulla]

It shouldn't go unnoticed that Oasis is a truly awful name for a band. As in no effort whatsoever. No surprise, really, that their success was built on ripping off others when they couldn't even come up with a decent band name on their own.

[Wolter]

In fact, in hindsight, Kiss' version of Black Diamond sounds hellish to my ears as well.

Thanks Wolt.

Well, it's just the truth.

I really may see them in November. Maybe.

If I do, I'll be sure to get a pic of myself throwing the horns.
