- seltaeb4, on 08/22/2008, -4/+12Play any Oasis album backwards, and you'll hear the secret message:
"We are talentless and boring."
It also works if you play any Oasis record forwards. - IanPR, on 08/22/2008, -0/+6"If that wasn’t bad enough, he says he needs to 'keep the Evian water topped up in my swimming pool.'"
Sometimes they DO see it from our side! :o - Craga89, on 08/22/2008, -0/+6I think Noel realizes that if you can find it for free, then why the hell not take it? It's a basic human instinct to share things with other people, and I think what many people, including the RIAA, fail to realise is that P2P is just an extension of something that all humans do and always have done: share.
I'm not saying it's "right" or just, I'm just saying that we've petty much all done it, and if offered something again for free, we'd damn well take it (99% of the time anyway). - redoctane, on 08/22/2008, -1/+4Lars Ulrich needs his gold plated shark pool bar. Britney had to sell her Gulf Stream 4 and get a Gulf Stream 3. It doesn't even have a remote for it's surround sound DVD system!
Still think downloading music for free is no big deal? - pnunn, on 08/22/2008, -0/+3On the vinyl, if you listen to the runoff groove, they also say "I DO COCAINE"
- pnunn, on 08/22/2008, -0/+2Follow suit by talking *****? What do you think he did, exactly? he encouraged you to steal other band's tracks and not Oasis in a joke and made fun of a reporter who thought the record was leaked when it was an old one?
Did I miss some act of bandwidth philanthropy between the lines or something? - RegularJohn, on 08/22/2008, -1/+3Noel is a total wanker, but I liked how he handled the issue. Quite surprisingly reaction over P2P actually, although he doesn't know anything about file sharing. All he knows, and this is important, is that file sharing helps artists, not hurts them.

- siyab, on 08/22/2008, -2/+2I wonder if other artists will follow suit?
- pnunn, on 08/22/2008, -2/+1It didn't come of nearly so much as "support" as "indifference" to me...
And indifference is easy sitting atop a pile of money and knowing you already sold plenty of records before p2p took off. p2p wouldn't affect Oasis like it hits smaller groups because they (Oasis) have the backing and promotion necessary to make the money back from a tour- which, despite the common misconception that this is where bands "make it all back"- the concerns of touring are many and expensive when you aren't on a major- or when you are with a major who locked you into a 360 deal- both examples being something any Oasis member would be unable to fathom as they are the luckiest Beatle thieves in the Beatle thieving business- having achieved a level of success worldwide few bands will have the opportunity to experience in the current market. Gallagher's perspective is- as usual- irrelevant to the issue. Especially when held up against the concerns of the average musician (the average musician not down to their last 4 million anyways...) - inactive, on 08/23/2008, -5/+3***** this ***** douchebag piece of *****... that is all
