I was thought that it was because he was bold.. but a friend of mine was telling me the story of the skinheads and how there are a whole lots of types and all..
anyway, one of the types of skinheads is called "bonehead". Anyone who´s seen the pink floyd movie "the wall" will remember those soldiers made of tools.. apparently those things represent the "Boneheads"
Now, does the nickname have anything to do with this at all?
Oh and if the story is kinda confusing, let me know and i´ll try to explain it better.. ;D

I wish I felt nothing cause you are always breaking my heart out

I used to have an interview CD with Noel and Bonehead where he explained it. If I remember it correctly, he said that all the other kids had long hair when he was growing up but his parents were strict Irish Catholics and they made him cut his hair that way. So the kids called him Bonehead and it stuck. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the skinhead thing, though.

Didn't even know he was Irish.

Kinda funny actually, I thought he had a face as stiff as a bone or somethin' just like those stories made inspired because he's lookin' so dull in the Wonderwall vid. Yeh know the one's in which he's always lookin' up from something and says a nice Oasis lyric.

ive heard alot of stories about how he got the nickname but i did hear boney himself say in a interview something to the effect that when he was a kid because of his hairstyle the kids stuck him with that name
the name sorta fits his look to

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5
