Don’t know if talking trash in public about the mother of one of your children (Liam Gallagher) counts as nice, or the borderline racist crap Noel spouted when Jay-Z was
announced to headline Glastonbury.
Not nice, but not unexpected maybe?

Damon, Mark Moriss etc had a nice guy image which was very far from the mark.

I don't think I had expectation re L&N (although not that I knew any comments re Jay-Z

I was always more a Jarvis and Brett (Anderson) girl. Am so secretly pleased to see Brett Anderson live as he really gives a spectacular show and seems so healthy and happy. I also loved Radiohead but Tom Yorke wore thin on me, Always strikes me as a guy who thought he was more of an intellectual then he was in reality.

I’ve gone right off Radiohead after their pro-Israel stance. Genocide should not be defended.

I've seen Blur and Pulp in the past decade or so. Both were good value for the cost. Never had an interest in Oasis except for briefly fancying Liam. (Which meant I got a massive poster of Liam and Noel one Christmas 🤦🏼‍♀️).

I will say that a lot of the music and fashions have held up well and not just for the nostalgia.

May I ask, what did Damon do? I know, what this thread earlier discussed, that he seemed to ignore someone, who was a frequent visitor of his then wife. Did he do anything beyond?

Haha, I think I posted that!

I think he's done worse stuff than ignoring Suzi's friends. He was awful to Justine Frischmann, tried to get her to quit music at the height of Elastica's fame, and encouraged her drug use.

Liam was also caught grabbing his girlfriend by the throat in a hotel lobby as well as pushing her down the corridor. Both denied it happened with Liam saying he would never lay a hand on a woman, and it was a 'witch hunt' when The rum got a hold of the CCTV.

Yeah, I think that's true
I was a massive Damon fan in the 90s, but now the Internet has shown me he's a bit of a tosser.

I was an even bigger Mansun fan, and had many pictures of Paul Draper on my wall, and did go and see him when he is did solo AOTGL gigs 6 or 7 years ago.
Post that I joined some Mansun SM and discovered what a vile human he was, with all the tit with the Anchoress and couldn't bring myself to give him more money, or see his Six tour

The Gallaghers seen to be the same, nothing has come since the 90s, even Liams random twitter rants are what's expected of him rather than anything that turns me off

I had a temporary crisis of conscious about this but in the end I had to separate the artist from the album that got me through so many bad times.

Paul Draper's stage presence was always weird. Mansun were great live, but he had no rapport with the audience and sometimes even sang with his back to them.

I don't remember it from my teens, but when I saw him a few years back he had no chat or stage presence at all , and felt like he didn't really want to be there.

When I went to the Six tour last year he literally had to read the words from an iPad but I genuinely didn't care because that album means so much to me... He might not have remembered the words but I sang my head off!

His voice isn’t what it used to be at all. I’ve said it before but he has become special/blown it.

I saw them loads as a teen and always thought they were amazing but i can’t remember what his stage presence was like now. I used to always get the aftershow meet & greet passes too and they were all so lovely and friendly.

BIB - absolutely. To be seen in a BP store near you when the night kicks in!

They really are ace live. Such energy and positivity. I saw them in Jan 1995 - they were a bit in turmoil at the time but still it was one of the best gigs I was every at. I had the energy for front row shenanigans then.
