Noel Gallagher Interview!
Did anyone see the Noel Gallagher interview tonight with Mark Lawson?
Mark Lawson Talks to Noel Gallagher, 11.20pm, BBC4 - Entertainment - Corkman.ie Noel claims Oasis are the biggest band ever and no one will ever touch them! What do you think about his claims? A product of his over blown ego? Oasis bigger and better than U2? The Beatles? Everybody else who every played a guitar? |
Re: Noel Gallagher Interview!
Yes I've just watched it, I really like Noel Gallagher, I think he's a really intelligent, creative and interesting person. I can see where he's coming from retrospectively in that there aren't many people as famous as Oasis from that time, and I do think they were talented, but they were most definitely not the biggest band ever, there are far far bigger talents than them.

Re: Noel Gallagher Interview!
Both of them Noel and Liam are pretentious aholes. Oasis' first album was quite good, then come a few good songs which turned out to b-sides from singles from the second album. Everything else is just bland, boring and soulless.
More annoyingly they seem to think they are on equal par to Lennon and the Beatles. |

I have often thought that It seemed that the majority of great music was written by drug users.
Well there is the proof against that Beatles were high on drugs-- they made great music Oasis were high on drugs-- most of their music sucks :hehetable |

Many people seem to be eager to register opinion on the Gallaghers and their previous band without checking their facts first. Quite ironic really.
Noel was saying that Oasis were the biggest band in the world for a short time in 1996 when they played Knebworth, which is a fact. (They sold the most tickets and the most records.) He went on to say that Oasis were the last of that breed of British bands to achieve such acclaim, which seems likely to prove true as the music industry is now such a different beast. |

Re: Noel Gallagher Interview!
MEH. Speed has never done good for anybody!
As for influencing musicians...pfff I disagree they would have had much influence by what was known as a dietary aids back then. It was prescription based in the 60's and by 1971 It became a schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act in 1971. A friend I once worked with said to me(who was in his late 50s) "everybody was doing speed in 60s and nobody thought anything much of it because it our wives got them from over the counter" The point is they wasn't illegal drugs and therefore in that timeframe your point is invalid.

Re: Noel Gallagher Interview!
Yeah of course it was kinda meant to be a joke.
I did like the band a little, First album was pretty good. It isn't really a solid album for me. I haven't listened to them in a long time. Second album has 1/4 decent. As I said before the bsides was better. Masterplan is prob the best song they have done. He openly rips songs off and admits it-- How has he gotten away with this I don't know? They are two jerks--Mostly this is what people see and know. There seems to be no humility there whatsoever. Oasis won't be talked about as much as the beatles were. In fact the last album was in poundland Its the same with guns and roses. They made good music but Axl Rose is a complete ass. He wen't on to do G&R without any other band member. I just wont entertain that. I hoped Noel might go on and do some good solo stuff... But what I heard sounded like the beatles... Quote:

I have worked with young people who misuse substances for a number of years and I have seen first hand the devastating effects they can have on lives, not only of the user but also their families and of course the victims of the crimes drug users commit to either feed their habit or as a result of using mind altering substances. People with their lives and prospects in front of them become motivated only by where their next fix will come from and couldn't care less about anything else. I won't go on about it any further although I could, but my point is that I cannot see any justification for legalising currently illegal substances. If they were to be legalised there would still be a black market - look at the current illegal trade in alcohol, tobacco and even DVDs, all of which are legal, but the duty on tobacco and alcohol means that people will always want cheaper options - the same would be true if drugs were legalised. You seem to have me down as an old, ill informed and uneducated bigot Kestrelx. I have based my comments on professional knowledge and tried to be objective regarding my opinions. If your opinion is different to mine then so be it, I'm not really bothered nor am I trying to change the world. I am merely voicing my opinion based on the facts that I know from my own experience. And as I said previously on this particular thread, I would never dismiss people purely because they have previously used or are currently using illegal (or legal) substances. I don't particularly like or dislike Oasis but I do find Noel Gallagher to be an entertaining and articulate person who is interesting to listen to. The fact that he used drugs is irrelevant. And for every Noel Gallagher there are thousands of others who have not managed their substance use so successfully. |

People will hear what they want to hear and rear what they want to read, I suppose. This is shown most evidently in the posters on this thread using the Noel Gallagher interview on BBC4 to push forward their agenda on the issue of drugs, manipulating the words of the interviewee. Very strange behaviour. I only posted to try and point posters towards what was actually said in the interview but it seems there is little hope of success. Play nice, children. |

As with many things on Accyweb and life generally, I'm with you on some things but not others. On this thread, no I do not like Oasis, never did, and find the Gallaghers unbearable. Best ignored. |

Noel has said that he was "Bigger than God!" again copying what Lennon said - when pulled up about it, he said he meant "taller!" So how can he be taller than god? :hothothot He also recently said "I'm the reason you got into music!" His Ego seems bigger than God and everything else on this planet! OK hats off - the first 2 Oasis LP's I think are excellent but I don't think they managed to creatively live up to the promise! Yes the Knebworth gig they did, I think broke attendance records. But all in all they are more like Status Quo than the Beatles - the Beatles had so much character and each member had depth to them. Oasis are not in the same league - inspite of Noel's ego! :D |

Re: Noel Gallagher Interview!
Why is this so difficult to comprehend?
He said that Oasis were the last of the 'big British bands' to really enter society and take over a generation. Beatles, Stones, Who, Queen, Feelgood, Clash, Pistols, Jam, Bowie, Roses, Smiths etc... it all ended with Oasis. This is mainly because the music industry is so different. Oasis were the last band for the analogue age of music fans who were into 'proper British bands with instruments' that bought albums and went to gigs. Everything is in a 99p iTunes single now. This doesn't go to say that Oasis are/were better than any of the other great British bands (as that is all down to taste), it only says that they were the last to make such an effect. This is exemplified in the bands he mentioned that are trying to make success in the new millennium, such as Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian and U2, who, if you did your research, you'd see he has been very complimentary of. 18 years since their first album, 16 years since their 'peak', 3 years since their break up, and their popularity is being debated. I think that proves the point in itself. I'll leave it there. |
Re: Noel Gallagher Interview!
Even now people debate over whether or not Mark Eitzel is the one of the greatest living songwriter in America. This statement was first made in Melody Maker I think.
But then again loads of people have never heard of American Music Club or Mark Eitzel :( offtopic I know. But it has also been 18 years since AMC's last album (before reunion) came out. |

Oasis means so much to so many people. It's a little bit like a religion - you either get it or you don't. If you don't feel ten feet tall when you hear the guitar solo to Supersonic or Live Forever then you won't understand the sheer joy that Oasis brings to their fans. Take a look at the below video for an example. That was shot a few months before Oasis broke up, 14 years after the song being played was released. The fans there aren't all in their late 20s/30s, there was a new generation of fans that came through around 2005. Brothers had passed down records, kids hearing Lyla and The Importance of Being Idle looking back to see what the early fuss was about, and they all subsequently subscribed to the noise & confusion. The Best Oasis Crowd? - Morning Glory Argentina 2009 - YouTube In my opinion, the passing down of Oasis music will always happen as the music is timeless - written about universal themes such as peace, love, good times and bad. But then, I'm biased. :) |

So I see your point that the music business has changed so much now it will by nigh on impossible for a new band to do that again, as it's all changed so much. Like you say kids now want it all for free or 99p - in Oasis days it was the last years of vinyl and the first days of MP3 files and downloads. Nearly all the UK bands now are in the shadow of Oasis, they were inspired by Oasis - like 2nd hand clothes - were as Oasis were inspired by the greats; The Jam, Pistols, Slade, The Beatles and you can hear all those elements in Oasis attitude and music (it's well know Liam got his voice from Johnny Rotten)! |
