Mr Noel Gallagher has revealed the inspiration behind the cryptic title of Oasis's new release 'Don't Believe The Truth', and it's all about politics.

The Lyla rocker came up with the contradictory monicker after having a ponder on how those dastardly politicians lie through their teeth to the unsuspecting public.

He explains to Uncut, "It just struck me that politicians lie so blatantly these days, the man in the street has got no hope of finding out the real story...the whole weapons of mass destruction thing."

But talking of politics, after such a phenomenal let down all round, will Mr G be putting his X next to Labour in the future?

He says, "Of course I will. It's the one chance you get to be political.

"People go on about Tony Blair but he'll be gone in a few years and the Labour Party will still be there."

this confirms my thoughts exactly when I heard the album title ! I was wondering ?
In the past Noel and Liam have said about songs "they are just words, they rhyme.." "I don't know what it means to me etc. etc. But that may be changing... (Noel even briefly commenting about politics now... Liam's confession that GGTIA is really about him and Noel.) Thanks for the thread. I exalt thee. be well

yes, true..
and also they are following a logical progression of having more life experience and years "under their belts" , it's not like are running around snorting drugs anymore , etc... they've got kids, adult responsibilities etc. loved what Liam said in MOJO about being proud about taking his son to school etc. being into life, etc. OK be well or just be, nice chatting

Ive written the words "dont believe the truth" at the bottom of my acknowledgements section for my dissertation for university. My dissertation is a study of the effect of anti-drug campaigns, posters and adverts. For example "Drugs are bad, they will kill you" This is the message that they frequently put out. They use shock tactics istead of impartial facts where people can make there own minds up. I thought "Dont beleive the truth" was appropriate.

Shoutbox

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

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
