Have any of you lot got any mad stories to tell about going to see oasis? Coz I was watchin something on the tv and this girl said everyone has got a story about going to see Oasis.
Heres mine:
Me and me mates were drivin upto Newcastle to see oasis in june or july 2002. When we got there we pulled up at the hotel we were stopping in and checked in. As soon as we checked in, the drinkin began (HA HAAA!) Anyways, we got in a taxi from our hotel to the arena and the guy in the taxi was as cool as fuck, had this liam haircut going on and he was playing the masterplan on his stereo. He asked us if we were going to the gig and of course, we were. He asked if we had any spare tickets going and we had two spare tickets (coz two of me mates are fucking lightweights and couldn't be arsed going to Newcastle to see them). He said he'd buy them off us for £30 each so we said that was fine. He also said he'd have to go home first to get the ££, so we were driving to his house (miles away from the arena) and pulled up at his house. He got out and said he'd be right back, at this point I turned round to me mates and said 'dyou reckon this was a good idea, I mean he could come out of his house with a fuckin machete and about 10 of his psycho friends', but we reassured ourselves that it was a good move. Anyway, he comes out of his house with the money. He passed us the money and we gave him the tickets and he said he's just phoned a mate to come and watch the gig. He dropped us off at the arena and we were early so we had a few drinks in a bar. When it actually came to the gig, we were in the seating area, this taxi driver and his mate came and sat down and they were ABSOLUTELY FOOKED of there heads, drink, pills the lot! We were havin a top laugh with them. When Fuckin in the bushes came on we all shot up, hands in the air and the taxi driver shot out of his seat and literally went straight over the seats in front and landed on this couple in front of us and we burst into a fit of laughter! There was beer everywhere. And the couple in front weren't to impressed. A security guard ran over to us but these two lads just ran the other way (knowing they'd get chucked out) knocking everyone over, ran down the stairs and jumped into the standing area! Two hours later, after a top gig, we walked out of the arena and these two lads were sitting down on the floor outside, they had black eyes and busted faces, still drinkin! I thought i'd share that with you lot coz it was a top laugh!!

At the end of 1993 I'd been hearing Radio 1 playing the Columbia white label and then caught the session they done for Mark Radcliff at Maida Vale. When I found out in April 94 that they were playing a gig at the pub where my older sister worked I thought - 'I've gotta fucking go to this!'. Anyway I was underage at the time but my sister managed to blag me in for the millionth time. This was a week before Supersonic was released and there was only about 20 people there.
There was some other local band on before them but I cant remember who the fuck they were. When Oasis came on, the thing that struck me straight away was the sheer loudness of their sound, it was like a fucking jet taking taking off! Didnt appreciate it at the time, but looking back on it now, seeing them so close up blasting out all those tunes that would go on to make up Definitely Maybe was a once in a lifetime thing I suppose. Just wish I had recorded it! Liam was such a cocky bastard, just standing stock-still, staring out the crowd, the whole 20 of us!
The pub is still there but has changed its name many times since. Noel carved a Man. City logo on this wooden door thing in the back which is still there today. Me and my mates have had many a pissed night in there saying we're gonna nick the door and sell it on ebay, but we never have, maybe one day, lol. Nobody believes it was Noel that done it when we tell them.
