Oasis, ’90s Nostalgia & Why We’ll Never See Bands Like This Again

Hey, hey, hey, Pedro, you ready to do this? And let's start right now. All right, let's get into it. Right into it. Man, I cannot say how much the 90s were so influential for me as a musician myself that did music. But the 80s, 90s for me were a special time. In the 90s, obviously, I was in my 20s. experimenting with new music that was coming out. But the early 90s really left a mark on me as far as hip hop goes. I started listening to hip hop very like mid 80s, late 80s. But the early 90s were special in hip hop, but also for alternative music. And I got to say, maybe I'm late to the party, but I actually just saw it the other night. was the Oasis documentary, Don't Look Back in Anger. Now, I have so many thoughts about this documentary that just leaves me in awe, how special this band is. And most people go, oh, I don't get it, I don't get it. But you've got to just watch the documentary to get it. If you never got Oasis ever, I go, it's on Hulu right now, go watch this documentary. And here's the reasons why. Because they don't make them like they used to. They don't make these bands like they used to. Just the drama with the two brothers. I think someone can correct me on this, but I think it was like for 15 years, 18 years, they didn't talk. They had a fight at one of the gigs. They just throw always at each other's throats, which made it a great piece of thing to follow back in the day. It's like when the internet started happening, like in 97, you could get on America Online News, read some things of that nature and kind of keep up with what was going on. But the drama, the internal drama that they had with each other and the redemption story of it all, of them getting back together, no one ever thought they would ever get back together. And it's just this beautiful, symbolic piece of this documentary. Yes, it's not the bells and whistles and this exciting thing, but you have to appreciate music and rock and roll music to really dive into this. I mean, even if you're not a fan of Oasis, you've got to respect so many things about this. A lot of these bands, especially in the 90s, as you look at them and listen to them, it's both now, the world that we live in. Used to, you just listen to them, but now we can watch them And listen at the same time. You get what I'm saying? But a lot of these bands carry over. Great music carries over generations. Like, for instance, for me, my parents grew up on the Beatles, Elvis Presley, you know, Paul McCartney rings. So when I was a kid, that's what I had my hands on. You know, the vinyl, that vinyl, that was special. That carried a generation. There's bands that happened in the 90s that just carried on. And Oasis is one of them. And The amazing thing about this documentary, they hadn't played, what, 18, 15 years together? But their music carried on. Generation. I mean, there was young kids in their teens and 20s singing every word to these songs of how big these songs actually were. It's just huge. Just a huge thing. It's a huge and amazing accomplishment. I just thought about that. How freaking cool is that, that their music went global? and just changed culture that to this day, people still show up. And you know, the beautiful thing about this, we'll never see bands like this ever again. Quote me on that because the world we live in, we live into this world of this technology, phones, everything's, you know, quick fixes, Instagram reels, where an artist has to prove themselves in 10 seconds to get your attention to hear their next single. These times were special. You had to go to the store to go find your records and you appreciated buying records everywhere. listening to the whole record and it wasn't a single based thing with music it was special times and that's why this band's so special to me i mean they just have songs after songs that are great and yeah everybody said they kind of like lifted off of beatles they just no they just they went a different lane but they had you know this vibe about them that was just brilliant the dynamics between the brothers and and the rest of the band It's just phenomenal. So I recommend going to watch Don't Look Back in Anger by Oasis. It's worth a watch. If you're a fan of music, rock and roll music, it's worth it. Worth every penny if you got Hulu. That's all I'm saying. But it just made me think that we'll just never see anything like this ever again. And as these bands drift off and they get older, you're starting to see these bands are still selling out arenas and I don't know who's really big in pop music now, but I know they're not selling out arenas. I know they're not. There's just no way. Maybe some House of Blues or something. I just don't see it. It's just like these are walking dinosaurs that we're probably never going to see ever again. There's this special time in music. These people that are fortunate enough to still play later on in life that came out of the 80s and 90s and 70s. And heck, even Paul McCartney has been around for the block and he's still touring. So I can even say, you know, maybe late 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s musicians still playing it, rocking it. It's a beautiful thing. So if you ever get a chance, I've never seen Oasis live. I really would love to see them live. I felt like I did watching the documentary. It just, it was special. You just saw this connection to how much this music meant to people. And they were singing every words. I mean, there was kids crying. So it's amazing how music has such a powerful impact on people's lives. I was sharing a story earlier today about a song with somebody, and I was saying, that song that you just played, I remember what happened, what I was doing when the first time I was enjoying the song that I heard. Memories, I say all that because songs bring back so many good memories for me, times and seasons in my life, good, bad, the ugly. But music's a beautiful thing, and it needs to be appreciated more. And I feel like these days, it's just not. We're too consumed, even with great art and great movies. And as I stress this, this is a great documentary. I mean, from start to finish, it was beautiful. I mean, granted, I'm a big fan of the band, so that helped. But we're just too quick culture of jumping on these things and getting distracted. And I've been trying to really dial it in for when I'm consuming music art and creative things like music and movies, film, documentaries, podcasts, just setting my phone aside and focusing on what I'm watching or listening to. Because it's so important. It's so easy to get distracted. And I just feel like this brainwashes. It was built for quick fixes that, I don't know, It's annoying. I say all that, but we use these things every single day. I do for work. But what happened to the good times, man? You had to go find your music. You didn't have the internet. Special times, you listened on the radio, and you said, man, who was that? Just special times that we don't have anymore. We have so much stuff being thrown at us every single day. millions and millions of new things because everybody can upload and show their creative side. But those times were special because there were gatekeepers. And yeah, people got frustrated with the gatekeepers. But now more than ever before, I appreciate the gatekeepers because they created bands like Oasis and they were catapulted into the global domination with their music. So on that account, go check it out. Worth it. Worth the watch. Oasis. Don't look back in anger. All right, Pedro, take us out of here. When Jeff is buying, the prime ribs frying.
