I saw them in Glasgow at start of tour and thought they were excellent. But that was before a lot of the negativity about them started gaining traction. I'm sure they do miss notes like people say, I'm not sufficiently knowlagable about music to really notice it myself, but tbh I didn't care when I saw them and I still don't. I've seen lots of bands that were pretty flawless but boring as fuck.

I saw them at both the Ritz and at Glastonbury. The Ritz was immense - proper 97-style Oasis wall of sound. Glastonbury was thin but only because the Other Stage is shite - it's basically a wind-trap where only 5% of the people watching will get to hear a decent sound, but probably for only 10% of the time. I've no problem with the band but the mixing has been off for most of the TV stuff. I prefer the rawness to latter day Oasis and Beady Eye as I think Andy and Gem were a bit too "clean" for the Oasis proper sound - the original lineup was a far better live experience in my opinion.

I'm guessing that the OP doesn't like the Sex Pistols and other legendary rock and roll acts (Liam's favorites, many of them) who couldn't/wouldn't "bend the strings" in just the right way?...

That's a common misconception. Most of the Sex Pistols were good musicians, with the exception of Sid Vicious. And they knew how to bend notes Seriously, bending a note is a week one beginner exercise. Its not that hard. Use 2-3 fingers and slowly push the string up to the desired note. Its a dead simple two step process. Everyone one of Liam's favorite bands knew how to bend a note. Like I said, Liam probably knows how to bend a note.

Yes fine that's what I'm saying - Liam's band is good (enough), as were the Pistols etc. It's others here who apparently disagree.

Professionals or not, their sound and style leaves a lot to be desired. They just don't make the songs sound GREAT. Often the songs are too slow, the sound is too thin or the music just lacks heart and soul.
My opinion.

Oasis were often criticized for having derivative, simple songs, yet these lads can't even play them properly. And they are professionals.
Oh and fucking hell, backing vocals.

I know this is a forum for opinions - and everybody is entitled to express how they feel about whatever issue they choose - but if in May - before Wall Of Glass, Glasto, Stern, all of that - somebody had said right this is how it's gonna go (re: voice, singles, promo, whatever) I think most of us would've been cynical at the least. Think it's generally exceeded most people's expectations that I speak to.
Been a great few months for Liam and probs even better for Stone Island #laundry 馃あ

The Ex-Kasabian doesn't want to be there. Awful playing, everytime I see him he fails somewhere.

Some people on this forum are awfully easy to please.
"Fuck the tunes and who wrote them! 10/10 to me as long as Liam sings 'em! Better than Oasis and beige Noel, p.s. he can fooook off with his Supernova rendition, boring. The band can make mistakes, who cares? As long there's Liam standing in the middle. Mehler can ruin songs every night, but whatever - it's LIAM on stage! Shit guitar? I'm not here for the fucking guitar! I'm here for Liam Gallaghaaa! And whoever dares to disagree might piss off to the Noel section of the forum. Liam! Liam Liam! Rock'n'Roll, fuck U2!"

I have no problem with the band at all, but I have no musical expertise either. I actually think it would really speak for Liam if he wants to keep them because they're his mates.

This made me laugh, we have a couple of users on here whose posts sound exactly like that Basically, they are the Gallagher-esque incarnation of One Direction/[insert random popstar name here] fangirls.

I'm just surprised at how bad Jay is. He didn't seem this bad in Kasabian or even when playing bass in Beady Eye. Makes me wish Liam got Jeff instead...he's not playing in Gorillaz right now either?
