Yeah, I know what you're saying but Steven Adler vs. Tony McCarroll, who wins?
Like yourself, they're both fucking losers.

You call yourself "original" yet you posted that one-hit-wonder's only hit?

So you know nothing about Harley either - yet here you are weighing in on material far beyond your cop-on level.
Good.
I'm sure they appreciate it - it's far above your musical appreciation.

What am I thinking of now Mowl, song, what song?!

Well after a blistering start, Mowl is proving himself pretty useless at the Guess the Song (I'm thinking of)? game (I told you, he's not that musical).
The correct answer is.. How Deep Is Your Love, by English pop group Take That -

Liam Gallagher & John Squire, Olympia Theatre Dublin
“We’re not here for a long time, we’re here for a f**kin’ good time!” Liam Gallagher, swinging maracas in leisure wear that probably cost more than the average mortgage payment, and a bored-looking John Squire, pointing his Stratocaster at a pedal board that could likely launch missiles, received a few claps when they ambled onto the Olympia stage on Saturday night.
While their self-titled album isn’t quite as bad as some of the scathing reviews, a rough-sounding Gallagher was having a laugh when he said it’s “the best record since Revolver”. You might, at a push, say it’s better than anything either man has done in years, but you’d find higher bars at the National Limbo Championships.
Tonight’s opener, ‘Just Another Rainbow’, is one of the three or four songs worth saving and Liam gives it everything he has, which isn't much. Even if you’ve no time for him, you can’t deny that his is probably the weirdest rock’n’roll voice of the last 30 years. He could sing the phone book - which would be a step up from some of Squire’s lyrics - but even listing a rainbow’s colours sounds dull when Gallagher’s belting it out in front of you.
Squire is a staggering guitarist to watch, such is the fluidity of his fretboard command, and you know you’re in the presence of a bona-fide guitar hero when the crowd sing along with the riffs. Songs like the surely ironically titled ‘Make It Up As You Go Along’ belong in the bin, but Gallagher’s drunken presence and Squire’s pyrotechnics, channelling Hendrix for a wah-wah wig out during ‘Love You Forever’ or his slide in ‘Mother Nature’s Song’, made those tunes sound better than they probably are.
‘Mars To Liverpool’ is more like it, with a proper sing-along chorus that had the front rows howling, as is ‘Raise Your Hands’ and the poolhall chug of ‘You’re Not The Only One’, but imagine hearing Gallagher sing The Stone Roses’ ‘She Bangs The Drum’ or watching Squire set fire to Oasis’ ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Star’. Refusing to play old material is sort of admirable, but it would have made for a better show.
“We’ll be back with more songs so don’t be crying,” Gallagher says before they finish with the Rolling Stones’ ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’.
In ways, the choice of encore further exposes their songwriting shortcomings, but a gig that didn’t even last an hour and cost €82.75 + booking fees was a bit cheeky. Still, it was an event, and the faithful were happy just to be in the same room.
All they need now is a few more tunes.
Mowl: A PROPER fucking SLATING.

Is sad that there'll never be bands like these again, as Fran Healy (Travis) said, they wouldn't even get signed today. The music industry is anti-white

And of course, there's still a huge demand for it, that's why someone like Liam Gallagher can play Knebworth today, but there's no new artists or bands. The music industry is anti-white
