noel gallagher was going to do this sketch back then , they wrote the sketch for noel because he was a big fan of the show, but because oasis were touring he never got to do it.
The NME back when this was broadcast, 1995-97 was excellent. Long interviews, decent review section, covered a lot of ground. It's total shite nowadays, they are praying that putting Pete' Talentless Twat' Doherty on the cover every week will stop them going bust.
HaHa! Yes 90's indie bands did suck big time. Anyone here remember the hyped up britpop scene that actually didn't exist but was instead a creation of magazines like NME to jump on the success of Oasis (remember them) and Blur. The press at the time tried to create a new music scene (just like Punk 20 years ago at that time) to show that british music was the best in the world. Well they failed, no-one cared for it, britpop died before it even begun.
@RMJ8791 Don't talk rubbish. If Britpop died before it began, how did you get 4 or 5 years where British indie music was dominant on the radio and in the press and where Blur and Oasis's battle to be number one would make the evening news? If you don't like Britpop, fair enough, but you can't say it never had any impact.
@fifthera Dude i found this video funny as fuck, i get the joke. Hang on, "any genre [you] like"? do you really think that anyone who doesn't like the same thing as you is a cunt and should be gassed? That's pretty narrow man. I mean, it's not like when the NME tell me to do something i do it, i just happen to like a lot of bands they cover, but i don't get all my music from them. Don't be so trapped in your "genre". Branch out, you might like it.
was this Paul Whitehouse's take on the whole 90's Brit pop movement? ie: music that was built up to sound hard and dangerous but in fact a lot of it sounded like meek 60's British pop.
Hah! I'd forgotten about Mr. Fanning....still when I was in ireland in 1988 he was the only way I got to hear the new Patti Smith album. He's not all bad.
@fifthera bit offensive... I am a faithful reader and, interestingly enough, i found this video when it was linked to me by an incredible band that the NME mentioned. Should i be gassed then? I am also jewish, so choose your words carefully.
@TheParanoidAndroid1 - i dont give a toss if you're jewish or from mars,its you making an issue of it.yawn.if you have no sense of humour thats your problem.the NME has ALWAYS BEEN by CUNTS for CUNTS -whiny wimpy-liberal-lefty students - are you soft left-wing & a student too,eh?!?!
the NME has always been anti- any band or genre i like,and pro a load of shoegazing wank.SOUNDS was a real music paper,are you old enough to have ever bought it?!?!?! & magazines like PENETRATION (ever heard of it?)
@TheParanoidAndroid1 "I am also jewish, so choose your words carefully [or the mossad will abduct and gas you like some palestinian gentile - he means, ha]."
@viteznemes Actually i was so dillusional for a second i thought you guys might actually have a shred of compassion and might want to avoid being offensive. Clearly not. Cunts.
@viteznemes - not only all NME readers but all Absolute Radio listeners should be gassed.there is no difference between a load of shit chart rap/r n b that gets repeated endleslly all day on Crapital etc and a load of whiny wanky students with jingly-jangly guitars."fuck the legal stations" (except BBC radio 3 and 4,the only ones that dont treat thier listeners as if they have the attention span of a goldfish)
@TheParanoidAndroid1 "I am also jewish, so choose your words carefully [or the Mossad will be around to gas you like some lowlife palestinian no doubt you meant to add - ha]
@redbarchetta1984 - yes!!! "kerang" is vile, full of "nu-metal" (which is not even metal really is it,its just a bunch of wiggers who can't rap properly,with guitars)
"self-propelled"? what in the holy living fuck are you on about
theres also a major problem in someone from outside britain citing this as an example of british parody "sucking cock", in that everything this clip parodies is uniquely british. so how would you know.
It's self-insistent bullshit, there is no joke, they're just beating you over the head with the same shitty "parody" over and over. YEAH WOW WE GET IT HAHA. Not fucking funny.
Pricks like Zane Lowe and Jo Whiley still talk bollocks like this. Every shite band is next big fucking thing. I fucking despise new music. So fuck Radio 1. Cunts.
Im guessing this was made in the 90s , and to be fair the music scene here in england the 90s was very tame. Oasis were considered to be rock and roll whilst people like blur and radiohead experimental , says it all really!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why are you watching this video then cos this is rippin that very aspect of the 90s. music was shit in the 90s it was either tame dadrock or comercial watered down dance. the oos is way better your probanly just a sad 36 year old oasis fan who prob thinks massive attack are edgy
sounds incredibly like the pretentious crap and hype that surrounds most modern music
so many bands are said to be uncompromising or pushing new boundaries and so on..then proceed to play a 3 or occasionally 4 chord completely bland jingle
this is great - a parody or somesuch of fast shows' very own Jazz Club... the kid on main vox went on to be an occasional comedy actor on other shows...not sure if he's had his own beeb3 show yet.
the american music that i like isnt self whining. big black sonic youth etc etc, i like a lot of 80's american noise rock and those band dont really deal in self pity.
A lot of "English Indie" (or do you mean British?) was influenced by the Velvet Underground; an American band I think. Of course, the VU had a wide range, from soft to hard, just like many Brit "indie" bands but you have to listen properly to appreciate that. Or you could just be a one-dimensional knuckle-dragging metal fan.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
oh dear oh dear . the indie twats have struck back! first of all you subscribe to the sterotypical image that all metalheads are ignorant pigs which is of course wrong! but it seems to me that you missed the whole point of the sketch. the nme championed a lot of bands that walked the walk but didnt talk the talk. they talked a good interview but the music was overhyped under rehearsed shambolic crap. american indie or altrock went for the throat while english indie twats cried in the corner
Aww, mr macho man has got all upset. The irony of you labeling anything that isn't loud noise as " fey, twee, limp wristed..." blah, blah, blah and then falling for the wind-up over metal is quite hilarious. And then you prove it is *you* that missed the point of a great sketch - the ridiculously gung-ho presenter who thinks he's introducing the new Slayer or something...
i never said "loud music good, quiet music bad" what i said was " music played with compassion and justifiably gaining exposure good, over hyped say nothing drivel made by talentless chancers who wont get beyond their debut album bad, in fact fuckin awful. the ridiculously gung ho presenter was an obvious piss take of yer typical nme/melody maker yoof presenter who is trying to sell to the public a band who, judging by their music, are not really what they are made out to be, a rock n roll riot.
Well, I don't remember you saying that at all but hey ho. Chancers and bandwagon jumpers? You'll find them everywhere. Dull, generic crap isn't limited to any musical (or literature or the visual arts) genre and when British "indie" became nothing more than a trend they were 10 a penny promoted by self-serving muso media scum. You write about "soft indie" NME pundits but a decade ago it would be grunge pundits or before that metal pundits and on...
of course there is chancers and bandwagon jumpers everywhere. but in the world of "indie" but there are a lot of crap out there thats promoted when it shouldnt be and it was the likes of NME/Melody Maker where the writers had a build em up knock em down approach to whatever was happening at the time. they lurched from one scene/trend to another. for example its cool for hipsters to listen to "stoner rock" a fad that had died 10 years ago within the metal scene is back again with the indie kids.
and if i was to listen to some soft indie as you call it i would probably go for maybe "the pastels" or even "orange juice" i would give all forms of music a fair crack of the whip.
do the world a favour. end it. now. black its all black. the world it but a endless relentless chain of devastating disapointments, mother never loved you. end it all now. save us from your non consequential dribble, that bores us to the bone. the world is all black.
Black! Like the procession of night that leads us to the valley of despair! Aaah! I'm blind! The gulls have plucked out my eyes! ... Is that you in the buttons box, making all the noise? Or is it black?! Black! Blaaack!
durruti1939 and thrashmetal13, would be so kind as to curtail your high brow debate on the pitfalls of the music biz (or at least take it outside/elsewhere), given that this is a comedy skit parodying the exact poppycock the pair of you are exchanging.
Please gentleman...
And BTW, metal13, is by the far the more annoying out of the two.
its based on 90s indie though , stuff like oasis . travis , stereophonics, ocean colour scene . i think the indie scene in england has been pretty healthy last few years , alot more electroy and punky than jangly and soft
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i think your a 300 year old goon from some small inbread little village who's thinks it is funny to make a play on words between his name and a stones tune. kings of leon are shite (at least they are now) you should be ashamed of your self Phonics are class and so are oasis even if you think (and im gessing you do) that the bro's are a pair a idiots, you carnt say the music is bad COZ YOUR JUST A PLAIN WRONG CUNT
I never even metioned kings of leon cos i think they are shit. but phonics and oasis , jesus they just both lightweight nobody who seriously like music listens to em , they for chavs who buy 1 album a year. Plus i aint a cunt but your mom is and your dad is a peado!!!!!!! and he prob beats the shit out of you and messed about with ya when u was a kid.
yeah yeah yeah what u gonna do now , please dont scare me
you did not have to, seems as your givin it the biggun over good music i though is look at your page, right there it says you uploaded a kings of leon vid and to the trainied eye it also says your a big girl whith daddy issues.

A lot of "English Indie" (or do you mean British?) was influenced by the Velvet Underground; an American band I think. Of course, the VU had a wide range, from soft to hard, just like many Brit "indie" bands but you have to listen properly to appreciate that. Or you could just be a one-dimensional knuckle-dragging metal fan.

oh dear oh dear . the indie twats have struck back! first of all you subscribe to the sterotypical image that all metalheads are ignorant pigs which is of course wrong! but it seems to me that you missed the whole point of the sketch. the nme championed a lot of bands that walked the walk but didnt talk the talk. they talked a good interview but the music was overhyped under rehearsed shambolic crap. american indie or altrock went for the throat while english indie twats cried in the corner

Aww, mr macho man has got all upset. The irony of you labeling anything that isn't loud noise as " fey, twee, limp wristed..." blah, blah, blah and then falling for the wind-up over metal is quite hilarious. And then you prove it is *you* that missed the point of a great sketch - the ridiculously gung-ho presenter who thinks he's introducing the new Slayer or something...
durruti1936 2 years ago
i never said "loud music good, quiet music bad" what i said was " music played with compassion and justifiably gaining exposure good, over hyped say nothing drivel made by talentless chancers who wont get beyond their debut album bad, in fact fuckin awful. the ridiculously gung ho presenter was an obvious piss take of yer typical nme/melody maker yoof presenter who is trying to sell to the public a band who, judging by their music, are not really what they are made out to be, a rock n roll riot.
metal1313 2 years ago
Well, I don't remember you saying that at all but hey ho. Chancers and bandwagon jumpers? You'll find them everywhere. Dull, generic crap isn't limited to any musical (or literature or the visual arts) genre and when British "indie" became nothing more than a trend they were 10 a penny promoted by self-serving muso media scum. You write about "soft indie" NME pundits but a decade ago it would be grunge pundits or before that metal pundits and on...
durruti1936 2 years ago
of course there is chancers and bandwagon jumpers everywhere. but in the world of "indie" but there are a lot of crap out there thats promoted when it shouldnt be and it was the likes of NME/Melody Maker where the writers had a build em up knock em down approach to whatever was happening at the time. they lurched from one scene/trend to another. for example its cool for hipsters to listen to "stoner rock" a fad that had died 10 years ago within the metal scene is back again with the indie kids.

and if i was to listen to some soft indie as you call it i would probably go for maybe "the pastels" or even "orange juice" i would give all forms of music a fair crack of the whip.

Black! Like the procession of night that leads us to the valley of despair! Aaah! I'm blind! The gulls have plucked out my eyes! ... Is that you in the buttons box, making all the noise? Or is it black?! Black! Blaaack!

durruti1939 and thrashmetal13, would be so kind as to curtail your high brow debate on the pitfalls of the music biz (or at least take it outside/elsewhere), given that this is a comedy skit parodying the exact poppycock the pair of you are exchanging.
Please gentleman...
And BTW, metal13, is by the far the more annoying out of the two.
Thank you.

its based on 90s indie though , stuff like oasis . travis , stereophonics, ocean colour scene . i think the indie scene in england has been pretty healthy last few years , alot more electroy and punky than jangly and soft

Sorry Jimmy but you are one sad strange individual, you must be some 25 year old Kings of Leon fan who jumped on the bandwagon 3 albums in.

God, you just have to wonder how some writers on the pretentious New Musical Express felt when they saw this.
This is a magazine where one writer described some pointless band's sound as like 'running through a forest naked...at midnight'.
True!
Yet another spot on piss take by the The Fast Show.
