Current it-boy Cole Bennett appears to be backing Album Surfboards amid a bloody feud between multiple heads

Master troll Kelly Slater takes a swipe at Oasis, surprising even the most seasoned music fan.

After a self-imposed social media exile of five months (see: “Kelly Slater kills Greek foil border for miscaption in wild online debate” from February), The greatest surfer ever has risen online and launched a widescreen hit after British icons Oasis.

Oasis were a Manchester band formed in 1991 and led by the Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel. Liam, handsome as a peach, hung on the microphone while Noel strummed a semi-acoustic guitar and wrote catchy songs in the style of the Beatles.

Both of them seemed like shit people most of the time, to use the British language.

Their first two albums, Definitely Maybe (1994) and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory (1995), defined a generation, as they say. Go to an Older Person’s Birthday Party and Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back in Anger still make the over-45s absolutely mad.

Now, after posting a live performance of Oasis on Instagram to an obscure pop art account, Kelly Slater has launched an attack on the band that has music fans angrily slamming their fingers on keyboards.

Kelly Slater writes:

“You mean Nirvana ‘sayings (sic) as teenage spirit’ right? And Pearl Jam ‘Ten’. Oasis wasn’t life changing for anyone I knew, but those guys were. Liam Gallagher just got drunk and missed shows.”

Music lovers, apoplectic.

“This thread perfectly illustrates how the average music lover sees art as a competition. No need to compare them to the Beatles or list bands you think were better… they did their thing, brought people joy and their songs remain relevant.”

“Rare miss on that take, mate.”

“Woaaah, terrible idea.”

“What position do you think you’re taking to say that they weren’t life-changing for anyone? Maybe not for you, but a quarter of a million people who gathered in one place to see them at Knebworth probably wouldn’t agree. It’s fine to have an opinion about a subjective art form, of course, but don’t project your opinions onto other people or state them as facts, because they’re not.”

“Nirvana is okay and Pearl Jam sucks. Oasis is great. I’m American.”

“Get lost, tractor.”

After a commentator rightly points out that “Kurt Cobain didn’t show up at many concerts either?”, Slater delivers his trademark coup de grace.

“Good point. Probably not. But Nirvana (shit emoji) on ​​Oasis.”

And so it goes on, as you can imagine.

The page owner concluded the debate as follows:

“I can’t believe how much this Reel has fucked people up. I get it, Oasis, we’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but you can’t deny that they, along with Blur, Pulp, the Verve, Radiohead etc. dominated the mainstream music scene in Britain in the 90s. For me, they were the first band I was obsessed with, followed by many others. They got me into the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Stone Roses. They made me realise how much I loved music. I’m now lucky enough to be able to say I love all genres. I’d struggle not to find a song I liked, regardless of the genre. Genrephobics are missing out on so much good music, man. Just drop your ego and let your soul love what resonates with it. Music should bring people together, not make them fight over who’s right when in fact none of you are. You just like what you like and that’s it. Anyway, chill out and spread the love.”

I believe in absolutes and have always considered Pearl Jam fans morally suspect because they are susceptible to the dark sexual deviance that Republicans engage in, rather than the overt and licentious behavior of the left.

Nirvana, very good btw.
