Gem and Andy are obviously better than Bonehead and Guigs, but I have never heard an Oasis song with a fantastic sounding bassline by Andy, or a ripping solo by Gem.
I say they're both average, and guigs and bonehead just suck

You can't compare Bonehead and Gem. It makes no sense. They have completely different roles in the sound of the band. If you listen to Gem, he really isn't a rhytm guitarist (which is what Bonehead only did). He share things with Noel, and is a great lead guitarist. About Guigsy and Andy, I really don't know, as long as they do their job live, to me bass players are always ok. The good thing about Gem and Andy is that they're musicians, they play guitar, bass and keyboards, and they give a more "band-ish" approach to Oasis. Which is what Noel Gallagher (maybe tired of doing everything, maybe uninspired, maybe a bored lazy bastard) was searching for. well put. I agree for the most part. I think that there isn't a hell of a lot in comparing their roles.

By the way, Spector's wall of sound technique isn't AT ALL something born in 70s, nly the term, if I remember correctly, began to be used in mid 70s. It's all in 60s (Spector was already known for it when he produced Let It Be in 1970). But I agree that this isn't something related with the players, but more with production choices (orchestra, at the time; but also echo chambers ecc.) and mixing. Oh yeah, definitely. Just check out any of his earlier stuff he produced, the dense production is immediately apparent and really seperartes the tunes from other stuff from that same period (early 60s pop).

The Heathen Chemistry CD booklet actually credits Johnny Marr with that guitar solo. Johnny Marr fell out with Noel over co-writing all of Liam's songs on HC as he wasn't even given a mention at all for it... He wasn't expecting royaltys he just wanted recognition. Really? Is there a source for this statement?
