Oasis vs. Manowar: Funny Liam Gallagher quote
#27
Metal fans don't give a shit about Amazon and they're not taking part in any bullshit sales rank surveys.
Oasis is a band with a loud mouth leader who talks mucho shit. They're a pop band with rock leanings so they appeal to 16 year old girls and the "men" who love them. I doubt they're louder than Manowar and they fo sho ain't louder than Motorhead.

Generalizing about entire fanbases is fun

It's hard to afford web service when all of your money from working at the gas station goes to Generic smokes, keeping your Iroc-Z in tip-top shape and hair care products so they can rock the mullet in front of the high school to impress the babes.

That may be true...but Oasis is still not louder than Manowar.

But then again... does anyone (besides Liam Gallagher or Manowar) really care?
By the way, I thought that Kiss was the loudest band in the world.

2. I think they used be at one point. I remember that claim in their 10th Anniversary tour program from 1983.

Kinda off topic, but the loudest band I have ever heard was Soundgarden at Lollapalooza around 1996 or so. It was outdoors at a racetrack. Metallica and Rancid were there, but neither was even close to being as loud. The loudest band I have ever heard indoors was Soulfly.

For me, it was Slayer (indoors).
I had a ringing on my ears that wouldn't go away after 2 days
Outdoors, it was RATM at Lollapalooza '93

Without a doubt, Motley Crue on the Dr. Feelgood tour. I think they are known for excessive decibel level.
Black Label Society in a club was unbelievably loud. For those who don't know, that's Zakk Wylde's (guitarist of Ozzy) band.
In the 80's, I saw The Time and they were extremely loud as well.
I have no doubt Manowar would crank out more decibels. If nothing else, they would appear louder due to the genre.

The loudest one I've heard was The Rolling Stones in an open air Football Stadium at Faurot Field at the University of Missouri Columbia. The paper said you could hear the concert note for note up to three miles away (downtown)... my ears literally rang for five days after that concert.
BTW, Liam Gallagher says some RANDOM stuff. I can't stand the guy - but I do like Oasis.

I don't know where Manowar played their "loudest" show at, but I have one of their dvds with a concert at the Monsters of Rock Festival in Sao Paolo, Brazil, 1998. They claim to have had 20,000 watts of speakers just on stage, and blew 18 speakers during the show. I'd say that'd be pretty fucking loud!

My favorite Liam quote:
"After I heard System of a Down, I thought, I’m actually alive to hear the shittiest band ever. Of all the bands that have gone before and all the bands that’ll be in the future, I was around when the worst was around."

"Chris Martin shouldn't be using this cause to bang on about his own fuckin? views on the war. If him and his gawky bird (Gwyneth Paltrow) want to go banging on about the war they can do it at their own gigs"
