Wouldnt take much notice. Sure he thinks One Way Road is a timeless classic. Absolute nonsense. One Way Road is brilliant Yeah, One Way Road actually is a really good tune. |

I remember reading that after Noel played him Be Here Now he said that "he wasn't having it." Never knew that. Did Noel say that before or after Be Here Now came out? |

I've not got high hopes for the new album. Not that I think it'll be objectively bad, just got a feeling it'll be mostly in the same vein as 'She Must Be One Of Us' which isn't really my thing. What a knobhead. I'm sorry, I try to be as respectful as possible of others opinions but this really takes the biscuit. |

Love Weller's cover of "One Way Road". Wow, didn't know he covered this, i'm listening right now, it's amazing. A proof how good that song is. And a great example of what is a good cover. |

Weller's not someone who blows smoke up anyone's arse. He is known for his blunt honesty whether that is friends or not - and that doesn't stop with Oasis. I read a Q Magazine back from 2008, Weller complained (rightly) that there were too many Beatles influences at times on Oasis later records.
So I'd be willing to take his views more seriously, if only he hadn't liked The Good Rebel!

Ahahah but he likes good songs as well, we can only hope what he heard sounds like the good ones and not like The Good Rebel (that isn't that bad tho) |

If the album in general sounds anything like that tune, I don't think I'll enjoy it. Now if it turns out like 'Dying of The Light', then hell yeah, I'm excited. |

One Way Road is brilliant It is bang average. 4.5/10 Surely "bang average" is 5/10? |

One Way Road is a really nice song. I'm not sure I care too much for the Weller cover though. A fine B-side to Who Feels Love though.

If anyone could find Weller's actual quotes it would be GR8

I wouldn't worry about "She Must Be One of Us" being on Noel's next album. That song is from 2004 sessions for DBTT. It's ancient at this point and would get knocked heavily for being a complete Dylan/Highway 61 revisited ripoff. Nice tune to have on iTunes or a future b-side but I do not think an LP is in it's future. |

Makes sense too, a lot of his songs from that time were pretty retrospective. I don't think it was his best period. |

Cheers. |

Noel wrote some excellent tunes during this era. - Lyla - The Importance of Being Idle - Mucky Fingers - Stop The Clocks - Record Machine - Lord Don't Slow Me Down The guy was still writing good material. The real problem was in the track selection of the albums. |

Sure noel says that Lyla wasn't on the album but the record company told them to record it cos they wanted it on there. Also he talks about the experts who go into psychology of tracklisting and who lyla should be track 3 etc |

If it wasn't for two songs that weren't originally going to be on DBTT (Lyla and TIOBI) how would DBTT have been received? I'd still like to hear the initial sessions with Death In Vegas. |

I don't think there's an oasis fan alive that doesn't want those sessions. It's not even a point but possibly why track listing is always so poor as obv there is lot of ego flying around between the band, mgt and record company. Which is disappointing as they always perceived they were in control but either directly or indirectly those little snippets makes it seem otherwise (and like say way we end up with poor track listing) |
