Oasis, 1997
Posts tagged oasis.
In the UK, you go from primary school to secondary school at age 11. And when we left primary school, all the kids would form groups and do a performance, like the girls would do a dance to the Spice Girls, or whatever.
So me and Matt and some of our friends put on ‘Morning Glory’ – we ‘played’ some tennis racquets and pretended to be Oasis. Matt was Liam Gallagher, he had the bucket hat on. I was the bass player. We were just standing ther, doing what Oasis did onstage. Which was not a great deal. I don’t think we got as good a reaction as the Spice Girls.
With Oasis, it’s just that attitude, like it’s resistant against everything else that’s going on in music. I don’t know if you can fully understand that— it’s like an impulse, innit? Especially at that age, you don’t rationalize, you’re just like, ‘That looks cool.’
And I feel like that’s the fucking way it should be now, in a way. Guitar music or rock’n’roll or whatever you want to call it sort of goes away with trends, but it’ll never go away completely. It can’t die because it’s so fundamentally attractive.

We’re a little out of it right now. Actually, really out of it. Don’t wanna do text. Not feeling the text tonight.
No, we said. No. Tonight we defile a Klimt piece.

Do you still feel like me?
We’ll sit down here and we shall see
We can talk and find common ground
And we can just forget about feelin’ down
We can just forget about life in this town
Int: It’s Valentine’s Day, lads. Can I ask if there was another act that you were forced to send a Valentine’s Day card to here, who would it be?
Noel: An act?
Int: Yeah, an act who’s here tonight.
Noel: Liam Gallagher’s a pretty good act to give a Valentine’s card to, I think.
Int: I think that’s frowned upon in many cultures, Noel, but I admire you for your pluck.
Noel: Well, it is in the Mancunian culture, but…I’m in London now, aren’t I?
