Oasis - The Unauthorised True Story - Behind Their Glory

let's stop problems at home you'll find an ounce of the sore throat from climatic like that he's at being a kid a sweet in a little over three years two brothers from Manchester Noah and Liam Gallagher have risen from total obscurity to rock superstardom with oasis not since the Beatles as a British band achieved such phenomenal worldwide success or so many loyal planets away seas have done more for Manchester than any government any local council any feelgood factor any football team any campaign they've created the boys back in Manchester even bigger than it was in 1989 and we can't fight them in up and that is from a red city who doesn't like any of them for instance but I'm still grateful for I think I wish to have one of the best ones of the generation of fencing player twice you know very good life and what I believe is it the actually got Oasis as a sponsor on this year did sell millions of shares they'll get a lot bigger that's it l nat ly never was really jealous and you know we're talking for about two hours on a train because I went to sit with him in the class any girl me drink they brought me to drink it's like a lot of forties and fifties people you know age people like you into ice if something that's really such really building quite special I think you know for fun temperature no wonder people nature I think they're wasting their money and drugs and drink and we care enough might be quite good for a while but at the end of the day it's not going to make them last I think and ended up killing themselves and it'll be a shame because it'd be good if there be another album but there probably died before they make it so the most talked about rock band on the planet hit the headlines as much for the Gallagher's behavior how's their music gallery attitude is something that's been brought over from its it's an Irish Street after to be imported into Manchester has been read through generations it's just basically I'm bigger than you can after you cannot go to kindergarten and that's fine everyone from Manchester just loves them just because of from Manchester apparently tourism has gone up and everyone goes to Burnage and then get services there's nothing here an ordinary working-class area of Manchester Burnage is an unlikely mecca for the latest generation of rock pilgrims but apart from the modest council house where their mum Peggy Gallagher still lives there is really nothing else to see in Burnage the second eldest of three brothers Noel Gallagher was born on the 29th of May 1967 Liam 7 years later on the 21st of September 1972 in long side Manchester their parents Peggy and Tommy Gallagher moved to Burnage soon after the birth of Liam it was not a happy marriage both Noel and Liam attended the st. burn its primary school behind st. Bernard's Roman Catholic Church on Burnage Lane they received their secondary education at the Barlow Roman Catholic High School in East Didsbury where Peggy works as a dinner lady the lads had an unremarkable academic career with both boys leaving school with no qualifications their whole childhood was devoted to football following Manchester City Football Club and hating United there were scalawags who would never change every man Chester City program that you buy there's always a picture of the Galleon brothers in him apparently Ryan Giggs another was Jews just what I read if I wasn't trying to get tickets for the concert and the after match Patek and they just told him to piss off and work that's true and Norman these trendy support monsters it's in there yeah at the moment I mean I hate Manchester United her the keep going on about how much they love Manchester City as well no I won't mind him pumping some money into the club even if it's only a couple of hundred thousand during one teenage kickabout session in there would fund Liam and Noah Matt Tony McCarroll Paul bonehead Arthur's and Paul quid see McGuigan the original lineup of Oasis local kids often picked an 8 the magic mushrooms that grill everywhere on air would parks football pitches lads football groups the only things missing were the beer the sex and the rock'n'roll it wasn't long before the Gallagher brothers began looking beyond burning into the city centre by 1983 Tommy Gallagher had gone and the family were enjoying happier times finally now began teaching himself to play beautiful songs on the guitar he had bought before he left school Liam got into music several years later he would use the same records as know before him but Liam decided to sing along by the Knoll had already left home and moved into a flat in India house in the city centre they never practiced together both brothers went to the same Stone Roses kick in 1988 it would affect both brothers lives Liam was so awestruck by singer Ian Browns performance he made up his mind there in them that he was going to be a singer the same night Noah met Clint bone of the Inspiral carpets after being turned down as their lead singer he joined the in spirals as eroding in three years now all travelled the world as in spirals pursued rock and roll success it's a funny thing man cheated because there's always been this this sort of notion that monster bands are innovative and then they're not really something like the top few that have been and they sort of said and all the rest tend to copy and it was a bit weird at scientist dude there's a lot of people you went leo lucky in brown it'll look like Ian Brown and Liam Gallagher like Ian Brown still does I suppose and they sounded like the Smiths only only badly played Johnny Marr yeah I think that that idea of manchester bands as innovate is an important point and it's the obvious band select the enjoy division and enjoy division mutating into new order and the way they took on a kind of they presented a new kind of a vision for pop which was very very Mancunian but also drew on a lot of other stuff from outside of Manchester and some dance music and the gay scene and a lot of a lot of different influences and packaged it up in something that was very new and an individual the legacy goes back to - Buzzcocks AFOL Joy Division you order right through I mean these the bands are so like the cutting edge all he's Manchester people tend to think they are I think they were and and so the maddest thing was was mainly the Mondays and the Roses at the top with the Inspiral carpets and it was a dance rock crossover really its first time we that happened in Britain I think to such a degree I would pitch Happy Mondays as the first sort of people who would bring Manchester but they did they were clubbers rather they did get work on people basically started going to the Hacienda into rock Baker's and making the DJ's play house music and then I start began and it's more exciting than rock really and people just don't notice we would just like totally all the women in the board didn't know at all as they were no washing up so I mean I mean the Madchester thing grew up dance and the whole dolsot aloof on that and became for a while the world center it was quite unbearable there's been this great surge of enthusiasm to kind of sign it up for my student move and then it and then it all kind of didn't work now it will dissipate okay he's all the way and there was a real sense of the local scene wasn't really vibrant wasn't really that many great fans looking about and there was it was quite a sense of cynicism I think really about what was gonna be the next thing the people gonna inviting into particularly a cynicism about guitar music factory imploded within about three years being right at the top 200 and there was a sense of foreboding I'm understanding this dumping people haven't noticed that in my sister's life I have been building for several years and because the world Express were there in 1991 William joined local band the rain with drummer Tony McCarroll and guitarists Bo Ned and Greek see Noah was stunned by the news of Liam's musical ambitions it was far from impressed when he saw the rain play at the boardwalk in August a universally shared opinion in late 1991 the rain changed its name to Oasis not long after the Noah was sacked by the in spirals and decided to put his songs in years of musical perseverance to work for himself he made Oasis an offer they couldn't refuse it was fairly dull stuff a thing and I saw him playing once I thought it was at the boardwalk when someone saw me at the gallery I don't know I don't remember Liam at all though you know I've been told since it was definitely him singing it was a very dull singer fronted a very dull Manchester band before I can gather another one of a hundred monster bands who sounded like you know bad version of The Smiths really I can remember the one of the times that it's in because it played regularly was Liam on stage being completely confident sort of like you knew he was going to do something I didn't think they were I never thought for a million years the best because they are now but when Noel's that were no Jones and they got a lot more professional they were rehearsing they were even rehearsing on Saturdays they used to wait for us to come in at six o'clock Saturday tea time and they'd be sighting that cars waiting for us to unlock so they could come in and rehearse and they got a lot cleaner then and then you thought yeah well they've got they've got it the that they want to be they want to succeed and you knew that if they had that kind of temperament they would do it I think he did I think he worked on this rally some of the spirals and woven them and they got to quite a high level was a disproportionately high level really playing G maps and things so so he was there exposed with it you know this mass or his knee saw a band evolve very quickly and disintegrate I suppose so he learned from that and I think that see how the band in his head really and if you haven't have been in the rain and his brother have been in it he would have picked him another band and they were brink about a seesaw something both similar I do think Noah was of course you know there's little doubt about that so I think you have that sorted out yeah I don't know I don't know what the inside politics were you read a lot about it but we got the impression where is he do it my way I'm not doing it at all off off no I mean that may be not not what it was but when we've seen them from their attitude to change from rehearsing it was like right that she's my game plan and he's my game I missed these the rules that's how I would have interpreted that they were very good musicians I mean at that stage that they have been playing quite a while so they did did it suit I mean that's another one that's another unlikely instance of the first bunny should bump into these Buller arms you know be a singer in she'd be perfect for let's see what they were I mind the Cooper version in there come on feel the Noize I think it's wonderful that champagne sleeping a bit it sort of lifts you up I think top of bucket angers me favorite you because we're actually trying to get that going for our car up chefs don't where it's just up let's take my car okay maybe just the best one found our way though I did attract invasion on the Jools Holland program she's electric and Davis dinner because there's the same shorten funny I mean one of the world is just so well written English diploma well you know robot 33 in the concept whatever is just to something it's simple but it just seems to something basic ideas you know supersonic was very upbeat early like I imagined it of all Manchester's Music Venues the boardwalk has the longest reputation for promoting new local bands thousands have squeezed themselves onto its beer stained stage to play for many years it was the city's most influential live musically some of the buns that I have booked that I did book a lot that I think probably contributed to a and our people come and seen them with a charlatan so used to actually use to put those on ticket deals same as Oasis Verve those kind of bands they all played their first kicks here a new verb Begley anyway because they're from Wigan and I actually come from just outside of Wigan anyway so I used to book those buns and The Charlatans basically because they were even though they were from North which they were classed as a local bond so I used to play correctly situated in the basement below the boardwalks main stage or for very basic rehearsal rooms one of them already occupied by the Happy Mondays what normally happens is these buns turn up then say I'll believe you've got very little space I'm have you got any room can I come we have it you know have some space there it was here that the boys started to rehearse six days a week in preparation for their full frontal assault on the rock universe well they got on with the band that they rehearsed rehearsed in here with because they knew them the other bands there was a bit I mean if you look coming onto the rehearsal room door those weight was around the town when United were winning the championship and the United fans in the rehearsal rooms got put posters aren't well it was newspaper cuttings on the rehearsal room door saying it was about they got I think you nasty gone 16 points clear and there is a scribbling on the front door saying Manchester United supporters club contact no all apply within so that was their idea of a joke well these lot ruin nuisance they used to wear at sport you probably heard the story I'm that we had to put a curfew on Leo because he used to smoke weed in the club and he was allowed to rehearse from 12 o'clock no 12 noon to 8 o'clock when the club opened he had to leave he wasn't allowed in and the day we gave him the letter we said we summons him up to the office gaming the letter next many old abandoned knocking on the door I think it was born ed that came in first saying this isn't fair you vandals when we said no no we haven't we've not baño the band down like bound HD we've put a curfew on leo he can't come in because he's not behaving himself and they said oh I saw all right then and went out because they were happy because they we hadn't we haven't put curfew on there and it was just Liam and then he came he came in on the Boxing Day I Christmas just gone and I didn't have the heart to tell him he was still bad bought him a drink and he was quite happy a couple of weeks before Christmas 91 the band's received their first real review in the Manchester Evening News pop colony the world reviewer Chris Sherrod now editor of city life gave the Oasis demo type a lukewarm reception how many band is like first it's the first time we can get to get any press because you'd be demo is your first kind of statement to the world and because I think at the time must be city like I think so and I have maybe the master even news with the only two publications with drafting it's covering that sort of stuff seriously you're giving it some kind of birth proper analysis so I think it was important it was kind of that's obvious a white band is sent to send them in because it might they want to get some food but they want to get obviously want to get the good review and a lot we didn't they didn't get the good reviews but but yeah I think for a band starting out it's very important these was the very much the first first stop the first place to get your name in print to get some recognition that demo review that I wish apparently was one of the first pieces of press there today alrighty Scott at the time it wasn't it wasn't that it was something that wow this is this he's a great New Balances of future rock'n'roll nothing of the sort I mean I remember the last the last thing I said about in the last line was something like interesting but I'm not too excited I mean I wasn't it wasn't like you know wow this is great must go and Ringo but everyone and tell him that there's this great new band knocking about cuz it wasn't like that I I thought it was okay to be honest I remember seeing Oasis live and thinking yeah they're quite this good singers quiet he's quite interesting there's something interesting there but you know a band like that the guitarist who's bald there's no way they're ever gonna be big you know I mean it was like that sense of you were sort of looking at every element of the band to see well is this gonna work is it gonna be right so I be lying I would never want to try and claim that I was a person who thought this is a band like only massive because I didn't think that on the combination of Noel's songs Liam's voice intensive rehearsal commitment and total belief in the band's destiny resulted in Oasis going through an incredible development over a few short months so armed only with their instruments and their trademark scaly arrogance they headed off to over their 20th gig at King Tut's Wawa court in Glasgow the legend is that I think they were support 18 wheeler wheeler 18 attorney below would have it is I don't think they were booked in to be the support slot but they they kind of allegedly threatened criminal damage to property entered the owner of the place they weren't allowed to do their thing so apparently they they let them Alan McGee the boss operation records took one looking at Oasis jumped on stage offered them a seven gazillion pound contract but there's a rumor doing the round in the museum stood moment that didn't happen it's all in fact there's something that suggested wasn't anywhere near the place because I mean those things don't happen in real life did it happen erupt follows are some sort of parody on TV but you don't you don't get record comes out like that and it doesn't work but it did after we'd seen them with um with Knoll I wasn't surprised because they did get quite professional about it they got well they got serious about it anyway so I hadn't seen if I hadn't seen them in that middle period I would have been very surprised I thought yeah there could they got that God perfectly well we did lie a little what we call in advance we've got a section Clinton Vance and we did a blown piece in there but you know they weren't there on the cover before you knew it now all met ex Smith's guitarist Johnny Marr after Mars brother played him the Oasis demo tape they struck up an immediate friendship Johnny even gave no or the guitar he played on the Smiths classic album the queen is dead a rare display of generosity and they usually self-serving music scene Johnny and Knoll meta buy it by chance got to talking know idolized Johnny and the outcome of the whole thing was that Johnny didn't sell he actually gave him his guitar and the zone was almost like passing on the mantle from one generation to the next it was symbolic you know from the Smiths I mean there's there was oh there was the Stone Roses in between but really from be if you think that from the Smiths to the Stone Roses to aces as three generations of rock'n'roll and three most important groups certainly in in my lifetime since the early eighties but the rows and the Monday's were quite tight together simply Gus you know they they both took so many jobs that people sort of try and pawn strokes off them both and then the the form a tight circle well no in generally that they all hated each other and kept very quiet about any record contracts or NATA and are people whom I used to sort bring up to Manchester and it was very very competitive yeah maybe in a good way but also in a fairly nice they as well and in Liverpool was always much more fun than Manchester in that respect Lupul bunks always got on and will good laugh you know good laugh together as a man she demands a little bit more cynical I think people in Liverpool are much more prepared to sort of do things with each other although bands are very competitive between each other they're also much more willing to help each other out everyone knows everybody else and nobody sit there doesn't seem to be the backbiting that they used to be back in the 80s they used you know I don't know whether the Manchester scene actually developed up because they came out with the Happy Mondays The Charlatans all that kind of thing was happening Factory Records who didn't want to know really about what Oasis were doing at the time in February 94 I was to come to Liverpool to lay down several b-sides at the pink Museum recording studio basically when the first was told about them by Tony Griffiths and the real people who kept the tones about his mates this band called Oasis and met them actually when they supported the real people at the crazy house and brought them down here because they'd booked in to do some b-sides we have a lot of bands come over from my chest because funnily enough there aren't really any studios left in Manchester so I mean going right back we had the Happy Mondays come in and did all their original kind of tracks here that went on to become hits that is the demos I mean recently we've had Kermit come over we've had Tom from the in spirals I went to see them the night before they came in here they were supporting the real people in a club called crazy hunks in town I was really impressed you know I thought what a great you know almost rock and roll band you know cuz we haven't seen anything like that for some time and actually recognized a couple of my work with him a few years before Bonett Tony Mugen Griggs II I've been in a band a few years earlier that I'd work with the rain I think they were called oh I remember no popping into the session because he knew them and but Liam wasn't with them at the time I think he came in pretty shortly after that session they were booked in for four days and I think it wasn't until the third evening that they I think some of the real people came down to have a listen to what they've been do and sort of told them what they were doing wasn't very good really but the idea was to do a track called I will believe and take me away which was an acoustic thing and we were often trouble with I will believe it just wasn't so it wasn't really coming together think we had we had four days or three days I can't remember but it was like we were up to the next but last day and we didn't really have anything you know we only had one tape and I was like what are we gonna do you know so we thought what would take me away lowdown easily enough so we just put that straight down acoustically that one I took about 15 minutes to do that one that ended up as track two on a supersonic CD the first single and I was thinking well this track I'll believe it sounds like something from years ago you know like an old in the guitar pop type of saying I wasn't really thinking that this is gonna you know this isn't actually gonna do anything for them it didn't seem to be going anywhere and but I didn't really feel as though I knew them well enough to say anything along those lines I sort of thought now just be the engineer you know so spoke to me made Tony from the real people it was made to theirs and had come in to advise and help I said look you know this was a great rock and roll band the other night what to do and now just sounds like indie guitar pop from maybe five years ago so II when said the same thing to them and no come in and said right try something to try something it was a case of going over all the previous takes cuz we didn't have a spare tape to use I was like going out on a limb it's like if we don't have something to give to the record company there's gonna be murder so we were like so do it just to raise what we've done and try something else and supersonic happened it was like it wasn't like it was actually already written um Knoll just went in there and said Tony give me a give me this beat he started playing it he starts jamming over it with his guitar and then start bowing had he they all banged in it was just and it just went on and the song starts and there's no actual finish in it there's no actual changes and the drums or anything like that because the drama didn't actually know what it was a song he was just playing this rhythm Knoll just sang words that came out of his head at the time all of them were associated with the few days that he'd had in Liverpool Elson has a particular problem with flatulence she stinks quite a bit you know I don't know if any other dogs are the same but she seemed particularly bad for it their audible you know and well she was lying on the couch over there and there was a brown stain on the couch near where the dog was lying and bone had turned round and said Davey dogs followed through Noel's sort of thought the dogs being getting at the alka-seltzer in the cupboard that's where it came from I mean a lot of the lines in the song like I say we're all related to things that were happening around at the time I just put I know a girl called Elsa she's into alka-seltzer and that's where it came from Alfa's backside like you know creation were ecstatic about super sonic and decided to release it as the band's first single in April 94 no phone me off about Christmas just after Christmas and about a month after had done super sonic and said do you want to come and make my album I was like great yeah nice one because it was to be honest it was one of the first bands at work with for a long time that I actually enjoy you know I really enjoyed I thought yeah great sound oh they have the album plan they knew what songs they wanted to use but occasionally as with supersonic Noah would come out with something new and that had to go on the album it happened when we were at Mono Valley and slide away came about just while he was jamming you know slide away happens and that ended up on the album but they would they were finding their feet at the time trying this trying out some things they were happy with some things they weren't they did a few weeks at Mono Valley and they weren't happy with the way some of the stuff was being mixed so they changed the producer and they got ill Morrison to pull the album together and some of the stuff had been recorded in Cornwall afterwards some stuff that was used were demos that were done on a truck from mark oils bedroom or living room wherever in mansion you know it was whatever had there they weren't really concerned about the sound quality of the thing particularly it was more getting the right vibe to the album you know by now the words out on OSS and London was buzzing for their first gig at the Water Rat in Kings Cross with his tremendous bar there's one of those you know gigs ever every so often at Anu they always you get but you get these buzzes all the time this was a definite issue like a roar you know everybody was there he was like you know that legendary 100 clocking everybody claims we were right in the face was to being the night somebody six well people always insisted they were there water its place in 1990 94 it was it was it was like December January was like on the border that thousands and thousands of people claim they were learned of course yep the crust is 120 there's a lot of good people lying in London and I'm kidding either themselves or their friends in March Oasis stole the show again this time on the word performing supersonic but again I was ill as another key appearance you know really just rammed home the point of Oasis you know the winched like music at all about Liam and he's sneering and his attitude and John Lennon meets John Lydon and kind of hunched Dickensian demeanor that you know that Manchester so good it no Sean rider in the umbrella these be they've got their own way of walking and talking these kind of Monk unions it's a good rock and roll Rolling Stones sort of attitude Sex Pistols punky it's good rebellious and you know kicking off and yeah you know we were rebelling against society and the government and so on they spat was at the MTV Awards Grammy Awards but I they just be themselves they don't really give a about ourselves loads of records they're millionaires Liam's got a lot of attitude and attitude problem a lot of people say that's exactly how I do that's how the Pistols did it the second single shaker major went straight into the chasse at number 11 after a last-minute lyric change to avoid the threat of legal action by the coca-cola company because of shaker makers uncanny melodic resemblance to their classic 1970s jingle well now Gallagher has a history of appropriate for a well known songs and lyrics I'd like to teach the world to sing there was a bit they had to leave whatever I just think no Knoll is all about writing populist anthems and if that means liberally lifting directly from a populist anthem from the past to make his song even more populous than popular and then accessible to the milkman and the man on the street then so be it he's not a snob at Columbia Hotel which is the rock or our hotel which is bringing have probably been home so that everybody from I don't know I'm guessing everybody from you know the Bonzo Dog doo-dah band to you know the Mothers of Invention to the captain beefer and his magic band you know there's all the weirdos and drug takers and lunatics of rock and roll past and these five Manx turn up and they get Patton from the place you know it's quite funny really you know just couldn't take it helped by some lurid tabloid headlines definitely maybe went straight to number one in the album charts on its release in August 94 shifting a hundred and fifty thousand units in just days they became the fastest selling album of the nineties I don't believe the first time represented where the songs were indoor Gallagher's head I think he was sort of five years ahead of that right he sounds right right and something's prefer maybe old generation book book broader broader perspective and those are things that ganged up knows where any band really that the first albums often the best is the liveliest because it's a stuff you've been doing for ten years it's the best of those ten years definitely maybe there was that feeling that yeah it's just brilliant rock and roll really well-executed well produced but is it future isn't isn't rocking more about the shock of the new so that was that I think if the if the other papers have been honest they would have reflected ambivalence is rotten but no one papers have been honest because they were too scared that they're gonna miss out on the next exclusive or they're gonna look like they're not kind of kicked to what the youngsters the youth on the street are into box eventually the drawer of London proved too strong for the Gallagher brothers as they began to tire the perpetual media circus that never left them but the ease with which our waste is had conquered Britain proved difficult to emulate in the United States the rigors of touring took their toll on every visit and cancellations became a regular feature munch demands in general about about timing states because they're very anti performance traditionally from right right from Buzzcocks new order Joy Division for IV wonders roses or auntie performance bands they like going on doing 3/4 in hair and then so get off in there laughs and you see new order used to leave it equipment on playing all I went off another drink you know I never really went down very well and I see sort of bit like they're more rocky than those but they are a bit like that they have inherited that and America doesn't like it good point but the Beatles had weren't performers I mean the Beatles invented the idea of the band not performing I mean they were like the prototype so they weren't sullen but you know George just stood there Ringo was Ringo and all the Paul and John Dee was gonna do that thing where they shook their heads and that was the extent of there was hardly kind of Lindsay Kemp performance artistry was it I mean so I don't think that's a problem I don't think Pearl Jam tremendous performers are like but they're one of the biggest bands of the hit of the century they sold like 15 million I think they're what might be a problem is the mank Union surliness you know I mean there's nothing more off-putting than being called a which is effectively what Oh a cyst do the minute they step on American soil I convert I don't care forgot about I didn't know I'd know until I'm solving out so I come first before anyone and that's why I attitude right but in America the general thing is you go you tell you build your way up and you build your slowly and are imitating 15 years to get where they are you know and though actually tried to waltz over there with by American standards half-ass a trailing small collection of songs that don't add up to the Beatles or tenth or hundredth of the vehicles and he failed unsurprising seems so obvious now as far back as 1994 the band were surrounded by breakup rumors after McCarroll's departure and their first tribal tour of America I don't ever felt comfortable in the Carroll some reason don't know why maybe there was stuff going on behind the scenes I didn't I wasn't aware of it but I think they were happy to see the back of him and you know they obviously went on to greater things with his departure now I'm White's them good stuff I use a you know he's quite a limited drummer carolallan might seem to be a bit more kind of flexible and it's weird isn't it to think that only a year ago it's love or peace from Colchester reckon they could have some of a c-section you know they know it's just unthinkable now but yeah they beat him to number one and he just so came out of nowhere until this year's yeah that was no he's overtaking war report and then Bosnia coverage just leaves the first time we'd seen that kind of thing because all the big bands that the music process covered over the last 10 15 20 years they've just been music press back they've been written about in the days of male something lovely check it out on the Clapham omnibus I don't know what kind of fuel that remark I know you like blows music nothing knows in that world and to really build up that amount of antipathy that he wanted to die from like a hideous with terrible disease you know seems really sort of far-fetched and strange at the end of October Oasis second album what's the story Morning Glory was released it surpassed even Definitely Maybe selling over 350,000 copies in a week second only to Michael Jackson's bad well that's funny actually that was very sick it's from a critic point of view and everyone popped from one one journalist as far as I can tell and I read everything stoked it off oh I'm not super-sized album all over by the shouting no songs in the air very lazy uninspired won't sell anywhere near as many as definitely well well at first listen he was so it was kind of a sad out really what's the stories reflect twos and was born from the melancholy it should be the other way around because the first time was very celebratory in Alton I am a rock and roll star we're gonna live forever who's feeling singers you know supersonic past the and alcohol isn't it bloody marvelous when a rock band here we go were hey then they make it as a tremendously successful rock man it's all well after all you are my Wonderland so all these are reflective ballads and it's all my around it should have been right here's the tentative first album with all these kind of slightly subdued songs and look how they like it oh here we go you know knees up mother Brown with the supersonic cigarettes enough though though he was a kind of I think that's why right it's worth taking the back a lot of people write songs by I've got this great guitar riff in this great arrangements and all these musicians playing this that and the other and then the vocalist is left to try and find his way on top of it but Noel's sings while he's right and he'll pick up the guitar he won't just play a few guitar chords blindly and do nothing about it you'll be singing while he does it and they'll always be a malady remember interview New Orleans and was talking about the Beatles The Beatles influence he's a nice and tomorrow I never I never leaves early since the Beatles when I was a because I should think of them as you know my mom and dad's here and he sit and the unaged available since he was two compilation LP that had Blue Album and the bread out which was one was from sixty seventy to seventy other ones and he said Hertz that's all I ever had that's all you ever need you just had all the clay hits on it and it was just like Mack that thing of like Lisa's this is a man who's being brought upon them and then very obvious reference points obvious tunes that everyone everyone's heard and you could see that in the music if you believe what you read Noel just knocked off the songs in five minutes backstage at various gigs and you wrote the lyrics on the tablecloths you know because it's mr. prolific or at least he was I you know that point and also the singles that were released in 1995 and ninety four they've all got extra songs and really good songs as well the master plan which learned on the b-side of Lading the beasts I wanted the three extracts on Wonderwall follow their best songs you know it's like slide away one of those rare pick balance we just knocked some out faced with the question of what to do next Oasis simply went even bigger their November shows at Earls Court were the biggest indoor gigs ever held in Europe with 38,000 fans attending over two nice gear apparently drove the earth-moon tour around the school here there was actually they could be registered on something of Richter scale for the media the Brits 96 were dominated by Javits and Jaco and Liam and Noah they won three awards they delivered another searing performance and accepted their awards only way they knew how controversially the old Fox bar by idiots and ponytails with Dicky bark and the one who thought it's 12 Idol fans means a lot anything that's voted for by fans is special anything that's voted for by idiots corporate pigs means nothing that was yes silly wasn't it it was daft yep it was good TV and it just shows you that really people say how everything's been done except Bridget was on bilko and they've seen all before it's boring in it but it's not boring because you know we all sorts out we were watched it we were laughed it was on the cover of the Sun and the mirrored the next day and it just shows you what how little you've really got to do to make people notice all you got to do is bend over and show your ass it's not a lot we've all done it but yet again most rock bands don't because when rock bands make it they feel like they kind of owe it to everybody to behave well because they feel like they've been given money and I don't think the Oasis thing like that Lulla people without Glastonbury some 196 with all about away seasonable Oasis plate report of a million people the largest open-air concerts in British history Oh well imagine or experiences like that you instantly I mean being a massive band playing a massive gig you're just gonna it's gonna feed or destroy your ego some way just retention the people are doing it you know the most exciting thing about never for me was just the enormity of it all I just to me out the last year and a half of the way to seize history I'll just be getting off on the sides of it you know it's the same song a year and a half ago you're not gonna play anything less then until they stop playing but an entirely new set then the the sexiest aspect of the whole thing is the sheer vastness the number of people that are into them looking around just Jesus Christ with all those bloody people in this garden it's amazing not America again some of the actual they began an ill-fated tour of America without Lea who blames laryngitis and housing problems for his shop airport walk out there so successful here they're paying - what - unquote with million people at Knebworth and they go over there and they're playing - like 200 or even 2,000 even he was 20,000 babies it's still gonna appear like a step back I'm not gonna cause sort of tension in the ranks and if they don't sell out every night as a parent they didn't do some of the recent gigs there Noel's gonna probably blame Liam because they're not doing a good enough job and then Liam will say well it's my ban I started that he only joined after you left in spirals and then you'd be nothing without me and then it would lead to that and then there B then would be away from Patsy and his house things lots or down and no missing Megan on the other hand you know all that's still going on and but you can imagine that the inclination isn't there to finish the job because you know they're there rise has been meteoric in Britain and then there'll be that impatience to do the same in America America's gonna be different you've got really slog your way through that country if you want to make it maybe they have got a patience to slog when they know they can come back here and be the biggest band since the Beatles denying a split Liam eventually joined the band in America then what are you gonna say about the rumors the bands are on the verge of breaking up breaking down raining down moon breaking over break down okay I heard people going oh it's ridiculous they're being so childish how can they storm home and have this they're just doing it for press now going nine tools in America I would have gone insane on the force at first they did really well hang on that long I didn't care about oh I love them tonight dude who said an old Caravan yeah and that's gone got an ounce find an answer to things in gitis nowhere to live that's what makes a sis in it they've already made it in America this canoe doesn't turn up for a couple of shows doesn't mean like they're gonna lose it completely I think they should be staying in Europe and Latin America because America's got their own bands thrown stuff and I think they should be staying here they're picking up in Britain sigh and they're big enough in the rest of the world so by America sub problems at home we'll find an ounce of a sore throat Punk America that he's it mean I kid a sweet so I was upset I said the way control gets you know I know you got the wave I'll go there to find it out simple as that for Captain America and go back to him and I've no LM sorry I didn't because I can't use I could I could I come first I don't care if we talk about I did not know one still on solving now so I call first before anyone cook and that's my attitude that I defends it's drawed an attention to false the cabana lady didn't even know they have themselves and will be better off maybe not knowing I mean Liam and know love always fought their brothers the bounds who have always fought but if the cameras are following you around day-in day-out and you have a fight in front of 10 million people everyone's gonna think it's something monumental or an actual fact it's just two brothers having a fight you know they are oasis when they're on stage but the rest of the time it's just Liam and no and the other lives are the same they're one of the few bands of map where they have not changed as people they haven't changed as people with all the stardom and all the things that accused of and what-have-you they haven't changed I still think that they're pretty much the same as they we're a couple of years back but a lot wiser you know but they're also under an awful lot more pressure so it's gonna be you know anything could happen no one else an emotional no will arrived back in Britain without the band after the US tour was cancelled fueling rumors of a split in a statement to the press Creation Records did not deny a split but pointed instead to internal problems within Oasis a lot of it was how I mean this lately said no actually split everybody knew that that was a little touched really I mean they've been splitting up since to the borer nothing else to it and they will continue to do enough spoken want what maybe that's part of the theater but I think you have to stubble yourself more on on our global scale before we could accept it and follow-up becomes part of it autumn 96 or the band in Abbey Road Studios working on their third album the split apparently behind them Noel's collaboration with The Chemical Brothers went in at number one and an unusual calm had descended over the airwaves machine a survey was published showing the tow ASIS with the nation's favorite ever rock band beating the Beatles into second place so only two years after no that boasted that Oasis was going to be the biggest band in the world it seemed that they had achieved it they've done that they've been living that life two years three years it's all they've experienced and there is a slight danger that's all going to be about being honest or being stuck in hotels and then for this getting getting drunk backstage and it won't I suppose though you know will the public gonna relate to it you know they're gonna be nice populist and don't have to see just how long they will remain such a dominant position is uncertain but the same fans who created the success story of the 90s are far from sure we're racist will be 20 years from now I think the impact the biggest impact has just been a sense of new sense of enthusiasm a new sense of like if Oasis if a band like that we should wish for a while we're like just another band on the local band see if they can if they can do it make it big no chance they first there's a chance there again for these bands but not just that just I think they would it just seemed to have really given people a confidence getting Manchester about about being in guitar bands they will be influenced because the Beatles will then be forgotten and the technology that has changed I mean the poor bills its recordings made each record and two tracks and stuff so they they will be looked upon as setting ground by the national nation appreciate they went the next are our children grandchildren I ever went either remembering Paul McCartney was probably but they'll remember no don't imagine them being together in 20 years time imagine not to be it's like one of these really really famous and well renowned facilities perhaps for me awareness guitar I don't know but you know I hope the answer let's go but the same as they are now I think they'll be around for another few years yeah I don't think all this what's happening the last month is gonna affect them I think they'll carry on but I don't I I don't think they'll be around in 20 years I really don't but if they banished tomorrow and over the next album to fail when they want to wake I still think they would see classic albums which is a good thing to be it's one button in the roses and people always make set great store by how influential great was but I think if you're influential it just means that those are really often talentless people try and do what you're doing probably barrel not being influential by the Oasis's legacy sadly may well be the latter dreadful copyists emerged in their wake let's hope that it isn't that hope it's just do that the great you know happy sad anthem was over between the late 20th century in how of it lies in in olga songwriting news grow a simplistic way of writing songs that soon pick up on instantly and it so far he hasn't become pompous maybe he can keep that then I think I can almost yeah I don't love the Beatles there's only ever been one people times that's ridiculous Switzer yeah probably bigger than you too that's what makes a racist in it
