    anytime my good man..I am here to help..and just remember..I never attacked you personally..calling me arrogant wouldnt only just be correct it would be one hell of a compliment
    Actually you called me a muppet.

    Nevertheless, I'm not offended. Your opinion would have to carry some weight with me to manage that and frankly, it doesn't :)

    They are a terrible terrible band. Their music is geared for teenage girls, their live audience puts this on display. They have nothing to offer me in any capacity, to each his own though.

    That would just be a bit sad though. Like I say, I don't have to justify myself to anyone and besides, how obscure a band is has nothing to do with my enjoyment of them. I'd be as arrogant as Petrocs here if I did that.

    Yep.. I was just kidding :)

    And yet rarely have I ever had so much fun than when I drank a half bottle of tequila and danced to their ludicrous but awesome cover of R. Kelly's Ignition at Reading Festival a while back, in an audience comprised of all types of people, not just teenage girls.

    The idea that I should be condescended by a fan of the new Oasis album is hilarious.


    fucking good album that.

    and by saying what you just said makes you equally as condescending as the person you quoted ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I'm not a fan, but I love their cover of Beat It :o
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    I still think they make some great songs. Your right, their not punk, their a pop band, but they are good at. Say what you want, but Thanks For the Memories is a great song from a lyrical standpoint and musical standpoint.

    Their studio stuff is catchy and I find myself not changing the radio when I hear it. They may be the WORST live band ever. Those drop-D guitars with so much distortion just sound like noise, its unbearable.

    PS. Beat It cover has John Mayer doing the solo cuz frankly none of those guys can play

    And I don't watch MTV

    No, I just don't much appreciate hypocrisy in these matters. Oasis are making equally meaningless, commercial pop songs as Fall out Boy and have been churning them out for years. I merely request that a fan of theirs shouldn't go about making out like they're some sort of connoisseur of quality music in order to belittle others.

    Yes, you were at a FESTIVAL. Obviously there's fans of tons of different bands there so that's an ignorant argument. I challenge you to show me a FALL OUT BOY concert that isn't 75% teenage girls, you'll lose because it isn't possible. And you again put your ignorance on full display comparing Oasis to Fall Out Boy. Why am I even responding to your comments?

    Jesus christ...

    I never said their concerts aren't mainly teenage girls, I said I don't give a shit, I had fun.

    I invite you to disprove my comparison with Oasis. I'm not saying their music is anything alike, I am stating my distaste with an Oasis fan insulting a Fall Out Boy fan. It's like a fan of Warrant taking the moral high ground over a fan of Slaughter or something. Neither are exactly paragons of artistry, a person is entitled to like what they want without catching shit from someone who gets off on acting like they know something the "poor, deluded" one doesn't.

    But don't respond to my comments if it upsets you so much, I don't recall asking you to.

    I just can't help myself, again your comparison with Fall Out Boy to Oasis in your terms is still RIDICULOUS. First of all, Oasis don't suck live which is the real judge of any 'actual' talent at all. Fall Out Boy are an abomination when they actually have to play their instruments. This can't be denied no matter what you say, "oh they sounded good when I see them" or whatever, bullshit, they don't. It isn't even debatable, so #1 regardless of your opinion of songs written by them, Oasis are a true rock and roll band.

    Show me an Oasis concert that isn't 75% full of leery, drunken men who think Wonderwall is a deep, profound statement of anything other than Beatle-worship.

    Thanks for telling me your opinion is more valid than mine. I'll be sure to strike you from my list of any people I might ever wish to have a serious discussion about music with.

    I have no problem with Oasis whatsoever, I think you misunderstand me. I also have no problem whatsoever with people who hate Fall Out Boy. I do however have a problem with anyone who thinks they have the right to act like they're better than someone, and can actually tell them that their argument is not merely wrong but outright dismissable, just because they disagree over something to do with music.

    I mean, fuck me, I thought this was a discussion board but here we are, having stuff like "it isn't even debatable" and "regardless of your opinion" thrown around.

    Fair enough, if you think Fall Out Boy sound good live then this whole thing is a complete waste of time.

    Yes, yes it is isn't it. I mean, it's a thread about liking Fall Out Boy. Quite why I'm the one getting a load of shit here I don't know. If you don't like them, cool. If you're looking to convert people, don't bother. No one here needs saving.

    Because they're right and you're wrong. Clearly. ;) :rolleyes:
