Thanks for the reply. Very interesting.

Oi! Get your own username!

Well said, Mr Bell !

Interesting. Tell me more...

Paula Yates accompanied a friend to see the band at Brighton Centre on 29th December 1994, where Ride replaced Verve as last minute supports which turned out to be their last UK gig until the reunion. Also on the bill were The La's, who played an erratic set by all accounts.

Paula had made no secret of her desire for Liam, and according to Paul Mathur she relentlessly pursued Liam backstage afterwards, which is corroborated by Dave Newton (Ride manager) who recalls it answering a Ride forum query re: how the support slot came about here- Ticket to Ride forum . Interestingly on a side note Dave Newton rated Oasis but didn't think they had enough songs at that point to sustain a ninety minute set.

Ms Yates clearly didn't get the message as on The Big Breakfast she stuck up a picture of Liam above the bed where the show used to do interviews, a proper nineties television affair! All this was despite her being with Michael Hutchence during this period.

Pasty Kensit meanwhile attended the MTV Europe Awards as a guest presenter with Michael in November 1994, which was the night she and Liam met properly. According to her  biography Liam told her "She was too beautiful to be married" before going off with another woman before she could reply! She also claims the infamous photo of her with her hand down Michael's trousers was doctored and in fact her hand was on his arm. They both involved lawyers due to their respective then current domestic situations but as Patsy said the damage was done and people generally believed the image to be genuine. A situation backstage between Liam and Michael at this point was recounted by Paul Mathur in Take Me There: The Oasis Story as Liam attempting to brain Hutchence with a fire extinguisher after the latter tried taking the piss out of him (p221) An aside from that night was a very rock n' roll Brian Cannon launched a chair out of his hotel window causing £1,000 worth of damage, a remarkable gesture made even more so by the fact he was alone at the time!   He later blamed it on the champagne. The Liam/fire extinguisher was later covered as well in an interview with The Daily Telegraph in 1997 where he blamed it on "All the weetabix I ate when I was a kid"- Oasis Interview Blogspot

The spat continued with the Brit Awards presentation by Michael Hutchence to Oasis in 1996, with Noel Gallagher memorably announcing "Has been's shouldn't present awards to gonna-be's" and Liam informing Hutchence that the latter's career was well and truly over.- Rolling Stone 1996

(Typically Noel's part has been cut for some reason)

Michael Hutchence later turned up backstage at The Point on March 22nd 1996 with he and Liam exchanging insults and words, although not punches as the tabloids reported. The second night saw Guigs attend U2's club (IIRC The Kitchen) where Hutchence was also in attendance, with Guigs reportedly furious and looking for a reason to chin him for what he had said to Liam.

Liam and Michael never reconciled in any way despite Patsy having been friends with the latter, and sadly Michael died on 22nd November 1997. His partner Paula Yates followed via a heroin overdose on 17th September 2000, whilst that year Liam and Patsy split up. It is probably for these reasons that the band generally gloss over this part of the era in retrospective as none of the participants had a particularly happy outcome from it all.

As an epilogue Patsy Kensit granted Red Magazine an interview in late 2000 that portrayed an unhappy marriage for both parties, and is reprinted by The Telegraph- I cried every day I was married to Liam

I think I have covered most of it there lad, let me know if any of it needs correcting, expanding on, etc. 

I think some people are really overestimating how much promotion goes into a documentary. Documentaries are not big money makers. Searching for Sugarman was barely promoted. If it hadn't done well at Sundance, no one would have heard of it. And that's an Oscar nominated documentary.

It takes a lot of money to put a documentary into the theater, and most documentaries, if they are lucky, will only break even. Many large documentaries will lose money in the end. Yes, even an Oasis documentary. Unlike Amy, there isn't an obvious world wide audience.

I would suspect that the producers don't care about promoting a theatrical release because they know they won't make much money off it. They may lose money. I suspect they may push more toward the stream, where they can sell the rights to stream and advertise, which gets them to profitable. Spike Island made about 148k. That's in line with a typical documentary gross.

This will get a limited release, maybe show up at some festivals, and be streamable, but nothing more. Which is more in line with a standard doc release.

was hoping to see more than 1 disc included in the description or some mention of bonus footage. still going to pre-order to get the exclusive artwork though store.hmv.com/film-tv/blu-ray/supersonic-(hmv-exclusive)

TFW you get told off by Creation Records (see tweet on twitter for the rest!).

Doing it would be.

For you and fans it would be a mistake, but from a business perspective it would be idiotic. Including Knebworth doesn't ensure them of that many extra sales. They're better off releasing it separately.

In short, the documentary will make what it will make no matter if Knebworth is included.It's a fan's wish to get a two for one.

Its been a long time since we've heard about it, i fear that we wont even get it
