Can someone tell me more about Oakes?? When did he actually left suede?

[maniaczek91]

He joined band in 94 after Butler's leaving. He was only 18 then ! He played in Suede until they broke up in 2003.

STARCRAZY!!!!

[maniaczek91]

Starcrazy hasn't got any solo. There's only one riff after 2nd chorus. Btw. great song ;-)

[simcity1789]

so where are we are the pigs solo? it's awesome

[maniaczek91]

Music on Dog Man Star was written by Butler with the exception of 'The Power'.

Check out my video with Butler's solos ;)

[PrayerPeacePurity]

He is more of a chord-picking, raw, in-your-face, creative-bombhouse. And to arrive in a band like Suede, playing the way he did, at the age of 17 is pretty incredible. Butler must have shit his pants when he heard this young kid playing his guitar parts, and writing ones just as good as his.......Legend.

His solos are extremely repetitive and lacking in dramatics. He's a talented guitarist without question.

[MrLee192Gversion]

I never thought his solos were anything special. I just thought his strength came in song writing and creating some rather catchy riffs.

wow this has really made me want to go revisit Suede's music.I kind of ditched them after Bernard left but I must say that there are a lot of gems here. He is a great guitarist in his own right.

[numskidude]

@nahgajorma  HE LEFT THE BAND BECAUSE HIS ASS WAS BRUTALLY FUCKED BY THE FAGGERT SINGER!!

[BrokenHalo5]

You have to have "Every Monday Morning Comes" on this list. His best moment in my opinion.

[basuvia]

He was 17 actually when he joined.

[basuvia]

Richard is brilliant.

[ThommyTiernan]

He is specific...

[Graffasus]

Poor Oakes, must have spent his whole career being compared to Bernard Butler, with people being quick to show hostility at him and his ability just because of what he had to follow. Whether Oakes successfully filled Butlers shoes or not, he did a fucking amazing job and fitted in incredibly with Suede's music 1994 onwards. It's the same story with Metallica, no matter how great the later bassists are, theres always gonna be those lame fans that shun their abilties just because they aren't Cliff

[RamiroHF]

Bentswood Boys outdo any noiserock solo Bernard's ever made. i just like how richard made that guitar sound.

[ogtotes]

Sound of the Streets.........quiet nostalgic,.. Electricity.....electrifying!
