I'm no fan of Slane/Oasis, but this is the worst gig review I've ever seen...

i'm led to believe there was a joke in there somewhere, but i couldn't find one - it read like some gobshite who desperately wanted to write for the Slate, but was not good enough

leigh

ha ha class, laughed the whole way through. is there any way he's taking the piss?

The last line...
Actually, you know what? I wasn’t there at all. Oasis are shite as are Kasabian and The Blizzards.

It still sucks though.

 

[Analogue]

Ah drop-d, where would we be without their witty musings...

 

[BarryTape]

Them paragraphs are shockingly long for online writing. Tut, tut...

 

[Wobbler]

Of all the things you could have found fault with, you picked paragraph length.

 

[lympog]

yep - there is so much more wrong with that article than the paragraph lengths

 

[Jelly_Block]

I feel sick for after reading this(did I feel sick anyway) Am I writing in the drop d style? I'm full of shite.

Ah I tried to read it but gave up after the first paragraph and closed the tab. It's just too good.

I write a bit for Drop-D and wholly understand people's problems with some/alot of the writing.
I'm certainly not interested in engaging in all the crap that goes on from the editorial side and the article comment side of things - I just do my stuff and that's usually that.
As long as people can appreciate those of us that do try (quiet appreciation is just as welcome as vocal appreciation), then I don't mind what is said about the site...and a lot is said... *sigh*

heh, one of my favourite parts of the internet so far is music journalists getting reviewed by music fans.

 

[adam]

most music journos are music fans .|..|

 

[ann post]

but dont you think its great that journalists are now subject to written critiscism?? like pre-internet, the best one could do is write on the magazine with a crayon saying 'this is sort of shit', these days it can be put in place where the author can read it. thats gotta be the best filter/editor ever, non??

 

[adam]

yeah i do man. it's the future. personally, i didn't like this oasis 'review' at all (only saw it today coz i've been on hols in a faraway land for a week). all the criticism is justified. seen the MJ stuff yet? Christ. i just don't like being tarred with the same brush but in some ways, that's inevitable..

Same here!

I didn't think that Slane review was so bad though

Yeah, the man/woman on the street knows better than them crazy professional journalists.
He/she is also a much better Editor than them professional 'Editors' that the papers employ.
