In reply to the discussion: Oasis ??? [View all]highplainsdem
(58,151 posts)11. Although the band didn't reunite until last year, after breaking up in 2009, both Noel and Liam have had
very successful solo careers in the meantime. Hit albums and singles, sold-out concerts. Including Liam selling out consecutive nights at Knebworth.
But their work together was missed.
And I do expect this tour to bring a resurgence in guitar rock, which we really need now.
I have major issues with AI and its decimation of creativity.
So do I. You have no idea how much.
If Wiki got it wrong, they should correct it.
They should. I'm already posting on 4 platforms, though, and don't want to add Wikipedia. I correct misunderstandings when I run across them someplace where I can correct them easily. I have no idea how Wikipedia works.
IMO that entire paragraph about fans having used an AI simulation of Liam's voice should be removed. That is NOT part of the band's legacy, as the section that paragraph is in suggests. If they added paragraphs about fans doing AI copies to every artist subjected to that, you'd have to edit a large fraction of artist pages on Wikipedia.Plus they exaggerated what Liam said and left out what Noel said.

They're more rock and more punk than the Beatles. Noel said they were a punk band with Beatles melodies.

Just allowed a band to use AI to copy their vocals and approved of it. Back off. Your own article

Liam didn't "approve of the album." After hearing one or part of one track, he told someone on Twitter

Thanks! I have to fight AI. It's a threat to too much that I value, too many people that I value.
