Review of Supersonic (2016) by Ian C — 08 Nov 2016

Just like footballers, the music industry is completely dry of characters and in the future we will have no decent autobiography's to read. Oasis were the last band that captured the essence of what rock n' roll was.

Their interviews were always entertaining and free from the ususal responses to predicatble interview questions. Named after the last great British rock song, this film has great access to footage of the band and thei early years.

In an era of the bastard children of Simon Cowell and how the contestants of his talentless shows are immediately prepelled onto the front pages of the papers and prominent features on boring celebrity shows.

The days of hard graft are gone. The Beatles did it when they toured Hamburg and Oasis certainly did it in those early years. The dreams of stardom and making great records spurred them on. This is a great documentary.

My only complaint was that it completely ignored the rivalary with Blur. When you listen to all those average albums (which contain some awful songs) you kind of wish that they did call it a day after those epic Knebworth gigs.

A moving and depressing documentary. When you see a souless, boring and wanky band like Coldplay selling out stadiums like the brothers Gallagher's use to, It is depressing because we will never see a movement or band like this again.
