no no no...not utter arrogance...not at all..its just the fact..nothing more. and people in China are poor...they dont have enough money to go to concerts unfortunately or else you're right. And what do you call the statement "the day Oasis start using the US as their starting point is the day me and many fans like me will desert Oasis?" do you ever think a PJ fan would say that? no...you wouldnt abandon them and you know it..i call that selfish dont you?

if you start a thread called "PJ should kick off their future tours in Europe" and then see what people say about that... I know that PJ start their new album tours in the states, thats what they do and wil continue to do so.

I'd abandon Oasis if they kicked off a new album tour in the states simple because they are putting money (when they dont need it) before that of the people who got them rich in the first place... selling out we call it.

not selfish on my part... it'd be selfish on theirs.

why do you want them to make it huge over there anyway... all it means is that tickets become harder to get? They'll play the states just wait your turn.. its what i've been doing for 13 years or so following Pearl Jam.

I fail to see the argument?

No argument..I am passionate about the band...wouldnt you want them to be successful here if you lived here?...I just would like to see more people over here be as crazy about them as some of us are...we're a little jealous of the UK for that. I would looooove to make a show over there...it would be a treat for me as a diehard oasis fan.

ok amigo.. i just took offence at your labelling their career moves as wrong.. they've sold 50 million albums doing things this way... it isnt a bad career move or wrong.. its just how they do it... and rightly so in my opinion.

but its nice to see they have fans as passionate as us over there... thats heartening

you're Canadian.. i seriously doubt that.. Celine Dion for instance.

im in total agreeance...to be honest the UK could wait..they know the album would blow up there

not as dumb as an american telling us why we should wait for the band to tour their own country

but here is where they are at... they just sold out a entire tour in a day... 180,000+ tickets... in a day.

we have supported them and bought their stuff from day one... why should they make us wait 3 months for a tour? just so the US can capitalise? fuck that... every single US band that i like plays over in the States first, then heere... think of PJ... they will always sell out their US shows wont they? so why not come to Europe to launch their album by your rationale? make you guys wait 3 months before gigging the new release.

i cant actually believe this conversation took place... Oasis are a British band.. to start of the launch of a new album in any other country would be unjustifiable... moronic even... be like *insert american band here* launching their album here

*actually some US bands do... Kings of Leon for one... but then thats because they are 'bigger' here than the US... i think thats what seals the deal in this respect... why fuck over your other fans to gain more fans? you'll just end up doing a Robbie Williams...

in 98, pearl jam's tour started in australia. in 2000, the tour started in europe. in 2003, australia and southeast asia again. i thought it was weird because the band seemed to be making a huge effort to recapture some of their momentum in the US at the time.

that's all i'm saying. i had heard oasis was trying to kick start their US profile again and if they want to do that it makes sense to tour while they're paying for heavy promotion on itunes and in US magazines, to capitalize on those efforts. if they don't give a shit, then by all means, kick things off in europe. i couldn't care less what they do, as long as they get here sometime so i can see them. all i'm saying is that it didn't seem to make much sense from a business perspective given all this talk about breaking the US. perhaps that talk is just coming from their record company and the band doesn't give a fuck. i wouldn't know. they don't get magazine interviews here unfortunately

well wish me luck in the lottery for terminal 5
thanks

This whole argument is silly, since they've already kicked off the tour and it's neither in the UK nor the US. Although their first date was in the US...does that mean dunkman is abandoning them now?;)

good luck fuckers

anyway, tripping me up on warm up dates aside, i take umbrage with the notion that to be successful a UK band needs the US to kick off its tours.

hopefully (and presumably) they'll do more early next year.
