Silversun Pickups

TheEvolution

The only thing they really take off the pumpkins is the layering of the guitars and plenty of bands do that. i think they are a pretty good new band, nothing spectacular but worth a few listens.

You could say the same for fans of gangsta rap. Because some of the fans are less than impressive, doesn't make the music any worse. All I'm saying is there was a reason that a lot of people like Oasis, and to say their music is garbage is garbage. Oasis will never do what Radiohead has done. But when I feel a bit down and feel like I need an injection of "cool" or I wanna go out and booze it up, Oasis is the perfect soundtrack.

Most of what the Gallaghers do is for show anyways. They play things up to the media and people eat it up. I mean it works...this thread was supposed to be about some other band and for some reason Oasis has taken over. Now thats what you call impact.

I tell you what, go to an Oasis show over here in the UK and you'll see what I mean. I was at a UK festival for the weekend one year, and Oasis were headlining one of the nights, the amount of wankers that came in with day tickets just for their show was ridiculous. The reason they got big over here in the UK is because they not only appealed to the indie crowd, but they appealed to chav types too, their image was that of belligerent thugs, thus they became heroes for people like that.

Jesus, this thread is about the Silversun Pickups not Oasis.

The Pickups are not amazing but they are like a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, nothing gourmet or spectacular but after eating it you feel satisfied.

They are very enjoyable live, their drummer is totally high energy on the drums and other then Pat from MMJ he is the best example of what a real life Animal from the Muppets would be like.

Anyway I think they are enjoyable to judge on what they look is dumb, that means you should also hate The Who and The White Stripes if you follow that logic.
