No.
What Oasis album has been the biggest "shrinker" for you (liked it at first but now don't care for it...)?

probably heathen chemistry. loved it when i heard it first but its not really got many tunes that will stand the test of time, like morning glory or definitely maybe. i think the best tunes are liams! and little by little.
do you think be here now would've been remembered as a classic (morning glory like classic) if the tunes had of been shorter and recorded differently?? (eg. one minute dykwim intro of plane landing, layers of guitars etc.)

No, I think everyone was waiting to pounce on them for going on about being the best band in the world etc. No matter what, BHN would not have met or surpassed expectations.
Doesn't mean its not a mindblowing album, just not what the public expected.
Fade Away vs Headshrinker: whats your pick?

Although I LOVE the lyrics in Fade Away, it has to be Headshrinker for me. I just love the feel and vibe in it. Can always rock out to it and just lose myself in the whole thing.
Which album has the best cover art?

Heathen Chemistry..............its not actually too bad and i was torn between that and DBTT simply because others were better. That logo they used for HC swung it though, cant stand that.
What shape do you think the band would have ended up in, had Guigs and Bonehead stayed? (in terms of how long they would have lasted and how the music and number of albums would have been affected)

I dont think they wouldve lasted as long as they did, I dont think the music or number of albums would be affected since guigsy and bonehead didnt contribute any songs. It was better for them to leave i think just to shake things up and introduce Gem and Andy Songs.
Do you think Little James is as god awful as most people think? ( I dont i think its a nice little tune)

Personally, ok so some of the lyrics are cringwrothy but I feel its ok. Decent enough for a first try by Liam. Nice melody. Cute in a kind of way...if you know what i mean.
What do you think was the best b-side before The Masterplan album, that never made it on to the album? (in other words, doesn't include the likes of The Masterplan, Fade Away, Headshrinker etc..)

They pretty much nailed it with the inclusion of some of their best b-sides on The Masterplan. There is one particually big flaw with that album, and that's the fact that they didn't include Round Are Way. I always think of Manchester when I listen to that tune, and back to some of their greatest gigs (Though I've never been to Manchester, or been to any of their earlier gigs though  I do however have a pretty massive bootleg collection  ) Ok, so if you could choose one Oasis song to be re-recorded. Which tune would you like that to be. Also when you answer this question, you should say what bothers you with the track in it's current form. |

Whole of Dig Out Your Soul sounds as if it was recorded in the 60s (thanks to Dave Sardy's rubbish production) - should have got a better producer to make it sound fresh and modern.
But talking of individual tunes, I've always thought Noel should have been singing Married With Children at the end of Definitely Maybe. Don't get me wrong, I love that tune but Noel's voice is more gentle and it's more his type of song. After an album with all the aggression, swagger and charisma of Liam's vocals, it would be a somewhat pleasant surprise to hear Noel's voice at the end of such a relentless album.
OK, how do you think Oasis would have fared with their next album if they hadn't split? Would they improve upon the critical acclaim of their last two albums for example.

They would have improved even further with critical acclaim. It's the trend they've been on in the past 2 albums (DBTT and DOYS), and they had been taking their roles more seriously in that 5 year span, highlighted by the fact that they've matured and been more inspired. This all makes it even more of a shame that they split up at the time they did. Oasis still had relevance and good albums in them.
How will you commemorate the 1 year anniversary of the split in 10-11 days time?

what do you think is the best oasis demo that never made it onto a record or ep?

Revolution Song (Solve My Mistery). It is a lost classic. Such a lovely song and it's not even a b-side. The kind of absurd that only Noel Gallagher is capable of doing.
Do you have any funny stories or remarkable situations during an oasis concert?

Yeah, not so much at the gig but on the way to one!
Coach trip from Norwich to Wembley '09. Lad passed out on the backseat after 2 bottles of Vodka and two 2 ltr bottles of lager. Refused entry to the ground. 'Nuff said.

Ooops! Forgot my question. Errrrr..... During every bootleg of Slide Away did you wait in anticipation for the WHAT FORRR? Even though you knew it was never gonna happen. Or even shout it like a maniac at a gig |

To be honest, I knew they weren't gonna do it when they started playing it live again. It doesn't fit in on the Noel versions, but woulda sound really good on the Dig Out Your Soul tour. I love that bit, that's for damn sure!
Ok, you're on a date. Which Oasis song do you put on to make it romantic for you and your date?

Fuckin' In The Bushes!
Nah, just kidding x)
I'd probably put the entire teenage cancer trust cd from 2007. It's perfect for a moment like that!
If Oasis had broken up forever after the Knebworth gigs, do you think they'd be considered one of the most legendary bands ever, if not the most?

Definitely! They'd be like Nirvana or Hendrix, both of whom gave us a small sampling of their stuff and then died! Personally, I think 85% of Nirvana's stuff is total shite, and way too depressing. And Hendrix is great instrumentally, but shite at vocals and even lyrics. Oasis would be up there. I mean, when Be Here Now came out even the states were buzzing about it! Damn!
Is there any good reason to believe that Beady Eye will have the best album of the last 50 years?

To be honest, I can't think of many. Maybe one possible reason would be Liam's voice, because it sounded great on DOYS. But I don't want to imagine it live. There won't be as much singing in the crowd as it was with Oasis and there won't be Noel's backing vocals (maybe we are going to hear Gem's?).
What would you have rather liked?
1) Oasis split up after Knebworth → more appreciation by the media, but lack of the songs from SOTSOG, HC, DBTT, DOYS,...
2) Reality

I would never have liked the fact that Oasis split up after Knebworth! To be honest, think about all the fans they'd missed out on? I know of loads of people who've become fans after 2000, after hearing stuff like Stop Crying Your Heart Out, Little By Little, The Importance Of Being Idle, I'm Outta Time etc. etc. And think of all the great songs us madferits would've missed out on!
Ok, do you feel that songs like Probably All In The Mind, She's Love, Part Of The Queue (May be an exeption here), The Nature Of Reality, Solider On etc. etc. would have been held higher by fans if Oasis had played them live?

No. Look at the likes of AGM and MOS - both played live, both still regarded as shit. With that being said POTQ is amazing, love that tune.
Which leads me to my question: Why does POTQ get it's share of hatred on here? It's a top tune!

Dunno. Love that song (even though it's highly-influenced by The Stranglers' Golden Brown).
Will the Gallagher brothers wait until a relative passes away to see each other again? (a la Michael and Fredo in the Godfather II...)

No. They'll be back in a few years. Guarantee that if either was involved in a car crash the other one would be the first at the hospital. At the end of the day they're brothers, and as much as theY go on about hating each other you always love your family. A bit sad really knowing that it'd take something major like that to happen for them to work again in the near future but anyway.....
5 Beatles songs they should've/should cover that they haven't already?

Five?
Revolution (Think this could be a cracker with raw Liam vocals)
Happiness Is A Warm Gun (Now, they've done this one a soundcheck back in 2008, and it sounded good. I would love to hear a studio recording of this one!)
Let It Be (Noel with the semi acoustic arrangement he and Gem does)
Yellow Submarine (In the style of Boneheads Bank Holiday)
Eight Days A Week (One of my fave Beatles tunes)
Sorry, this was just from the top of my head, I'm sure I've forgot some very obvious ones here xD
Ok, what Oasis song would you most like to see Liam and Noel perform as a duet? (The two duets Acquiesce and Let There Be Love don't count here obviousley).
