It seems like the 90s are making a comeback with the recent news of Oasis reuniting. Fans are ecstatic and everyone is scrambling to get their hands on tickets for their upcoming stadium tour. It's safe to say that the return of Noel and Liam Gallagher has caused quite a stir in the British public. The hype is real and tickets are becoming more valuable than gold dust, with a chaotic general sale leaving many fans empty-handed.
The craze surrounding the reunion got so out of hand that even the government had to step in and condemn the controversial dynamic pricing that was taking place. It's a relief to know that the authorities are looking out for the fans, ensuring that they don't have to break the bank just to see their favorite band perform.
While some stars like Louis Tomlinson were unable to snag tickets to the Oasis reunion, there's one former chart-topper who seems pretty confident that he'll be in attendance. Dave Rowntree, drummer of Blur, teased that the infamous rivalry between the two bands could finally be put to rest. He revealed that he would "definitely go and see" the Gallagher brothers reunite and even added that he would be "first in the queue." It's hard to believe that Dave has never seen Oasis perform live, despite their epic clashes in the past.
Speaking of rivalries, Blur and Oasis were at the forefront of the Britpop revolution in the late 90s, along with Suede and Pulp. As Dave puts it, the combination of these two bands completely changed the pop music genre, something that doesn't happen very often. There's no denying that both bands had a huge influence on modern music.
The rivalry between Blur and Oasis was no secret, with the media constantly pitting the two against each other in a battle for chart dominance. The Gallagher brothers were known for their outspoken and sometimes contentious nature, which only added fuel to the fire. Despite this, there was still mutual respect between the bands, as seen when Damon Albarn gave Oasis a shoutout at the 1995 Brit Awards.
However, things took a sour turn at a celebration for their chart-topping single "Some Might Say." Liam reportedly made a snide comment to Damon, igniting a spark of competition in the Parklife singer. This tension only grew when Blur and Oasis both released singles on the same day, putting them in a direct battle for the number one spot. In the end, Blur came out on top, but many see it as a bittersweet victory as Oasis solidified their status as icons.
The media often framed the Blur vs Oasis rivalry as a north-south divide, with the Gallaghers representing the working-class north and Blur representing the more affluent south. Dave acknowledged this in a recent interview, but also pointed out that people tended to project their own prejudices onto the situation. However, despite the heated competition, both bands have left a lasting impact on British music history.
Now, with 30 years having passed since the height of the Blur vs Oasis feud, Dave seems ready to bury the hatchet. After all, if the famously feuding brothers can call a truce, why can't the two bands do the same? It's a refreshing change to see a former rival express interest in attending the reunion and hopefully, this can pave the way for a more positive relationship between Blur and Oasis in the future.
