He deleted one of his tweets! It was: "NG JM PW park the bus" Anybody took a screenshot? I’ve got it, dunno how to add a pic here 😂 There's an "add attachment" button on the top right if you reply (not on quick reply!)

Haha...
"David Holmes was great but he can't play an instrument so he's a producer."
"No one gets a writing credit,[...]"
"I write my songs, [...]"
That's the difference. Liam writes songs with others and gives them a credit (whether they can play an instrument or not) whereas Noel never shares credits. But that doesn't mean he writes his songs without any help/input.....

The old collections are filled with cool stuff and its really entertaining to dig in the archives and check out the things you(sadly) didn't buy..

Pretty Green have went for quantity over quality with a lot of their designs. Sadly, yes. Personally, I’d pay a bit more for the quality we saw in the first releases. The Egyptian cotton used for the t-shirts was first class, the merino wool too for the jumpers and the fact everything fitted properly and nothing ever shrunk in the wash. The first releases were a bit to simple/plain/clean for me. I prefer the collections from ca. 2010 to to 2012. The best pieces ever for me are the first edition of the Velvet Peacoat web.archive.org/web/20101229041611/http://www.prettygreen.com/shop/product/red-peacoat-velvet/and the White Boating Blazer web.archive.org/web/20120513080757/http://www.prettygreen.com:80/shop/product/navy-boating-stripe-tailored-jacketI guess they make much more money nowadays as they have about the triple amount of stuff per collection and it is much cheaper (to manufacture). I owned two wool knits which shrank although they were washed as specified on the label. That's just awful! What I think is brand-damaging as well is that the stuff is basically in constant sale and the quality reflects the sale price tags and not the standard ones! In addition, it's very hard for me to justify to buy things before they are marked down because unlike other brands basically nothing sells out before sale starts. One of the few excpetions is the Made in England collection. Top quality and not (yet) in sale. Smedley things are top notch, too. All in all, I still find about 2 or 3 things per collections that are stellar. PG is still one of my favourite brands. I just wish the (Green Label) quality was a bit more like Fred Perry. I still buy their jackets and the desert boots are excellent but I wish they would reduce the size of the collection and realise not every single person is “slim fitting”, even Liam himself had a go about it. Some time ago he talked about a possible "White Label" which would be more his size/style. Hope they're gonna make it!

Of course. But all you have to do is post a link to setlist.fm There is simply no need to update the first posting by yourself. But if you want to waste your time, I'm not gonna stop you.

I got an older version made of cord. In the early days, the Lennon Jacket (that's how they called it for years) used to be a Black Label item, had a nice interior and the quality was much better, then they moved it to Green Label and in 2014 they started making the stripped-down versions they still stell today. So, unfortunately nowadays it's just a shadow of its former self.

Because other artists are less "physical" than Noel (who aims at an older audience) they stream much more, thats why he's not one of the top streaming artists. Doesn't change the fact that the last Oasis singles had no streaming boost (in the overall charts) to compensate declining sales figures after release.

It would have ranked higher but tanked earlier as streaming is a long term business whereas sales are only long term for a few mega sellers. Incorrect. Noel has been outside the top 200 in streaming pretty much throughout. It is the sales keeping him as high as he is. He is currently #31 in the sales only chart, so would still be top 40 after 11 weeks of release if streaming didn't count. Your criticism is incorrect, as streaming boosts his steady presence in the overall charts ( compared to a pre-Streaming world in times of the last Oasis singles!). Like I said. Because I'm right and you interpreted my posting wrong

No streaming back in the days, only sales. If the chart was still just sales Holy Mountain would have spent around 7/8 weeks or so in the top 40. It would have ranked higher but tanked earlier as streaming is a long term business whereas sales are only long term for a few mega sellers.

It’s just impressive how long it’s hung around. Same for some of Liam’s singles. Latter day Oasis songs came fast but left just as soon. No streaming back in the days, only sales.
