What exactly is in those 'Oasis archives'? Because by the sounds of it, it seems pretty thin on the ground... I only hope they've had some luck with their other requests, or this really will just end up 90 Minutes of Anecdotes, with special guest, Noel Gallagher. |

I'm just hoping they're doing this to gain as much material as possible and not for the reason you mentioned. |

Yeah I thought every gig they did was filmed. That's what Noel said to someone once. Probably talking out his arse again.

You can't expect from a starting band that they have photos of every gig they did.
At this venue there were stage invaders.

I've seen 'Amy' and whilst it was a good documentary, it's entirely made up of just archive video footage and photo's. The interview parts are just voice overs, so there's no actual interviews to be seen. The chances of Noel or Liam actually being a part of it, I would say are very slim.

This could be a highly seminal moment for Oasis. Those who say that this period that has been done to death are approaching this from a super fan perspective. Of course Oasis fans know everything that needs to be known about this era. However, for most of the world this era hasn't been shown enough. The concept of a box-office hit for a documentary is somewhat minimal. Amy is a big exception, grossing 22 mill. No documentary does that, and this one certainly won't. Senna for example, only made 10 mill. worldwide. That's an extremely paltry sum, yet pretty good for a documentary. However, I think a great comparative for the success of an Oasis documentary would be Searching for Sugar Man. That's a great example of, if the story and the subject of the story is compelling enough, it can succeed. Oasis could easily do the same. The idea of success for a documentary is fleeting. While I don't think it could ever come close to Amy, I think it could certainly pull in the same 10 mill. gross for Senna or the 9 mill. for Searching for Sugar Man. Once again, documentaries aren't meant to have "high" grosses. It's already a fairly niche market. So don't expect everyone to be running over each other no matter who the subject is for a documentary on any subject (once again, even Amy has only pulled in 22 mill). If this documentary grosses 8 mill, that's a "successful" documentary. Besides, if done correctly with that type of pull of gross, there's a decent chance (especially with the track record of those making this doc) that it could be up for Oscar contention, which for documentary can be thin some years. That in itself, would give Oasis an audience is hasn't had for some time. A world wide theater release, under the guise of respected documentarians who have been nominated for Oscars. It doesn't get much better than that. Long of the short of it, any medium where Oasis can remind people who they once were, where they have the opportunity to remind people of the enormity of what they did, or they have a chance to reach an audience that wouldn't have normally heard of them or bought one of their albums, is a good one. This has the potential to be a nice game changer when it comes to redefining an era for those who have either never heard of it, or only barely remember it. And it could spark a re-interest in their music. Well said. This is great cos it hopefully gets Oasis back in the limelight. Sadly sometimes I get the impression Oasis have been forgotten. Can't wait. |

The Knebworth gig(s) will be released with it? Not unless they are covering the era when the band where at their peak, as from what I understand this is about the early years of Oasis and the rise with Definitely Maybe, so 1991 to 1994/early 1995. I could always be wrong though. |

I could always be wrong though. Fortunately for us all, you are. It's 91 to 96 and we think it finishes up with Knebworth because obviously, everything after it in 96 went a bit pear-shaped when they went to America again and did those first few sessions for Be Here Now. |

Glad to hear I'm full of shit for this one  If they carry on past Knebworth to the October/November Be Here Now sessions in a no holds barred style then we could see not only a great documentary, but also perhaps a better insight into the thinking behind some if the decisions taken around that time. On a completely unrelated note liking the new avatar  |

Borrowed a mate's twitter account and got in touch with the official Oasis page, asking if the video for D'You Know What I Mean could be played over the end credits. Know the opinion of one person on the internet is hardly going to sway anybody if the producers and director have already got something in mind, and don't even know how long the end credits for documentaries like this are (considering the video's nearing 8 minutes), but if it did happen, my god, I would be as happy as Larry...
It was just prior to things going pear-shaped with Be Here Now coming out, and the band were still well and truly on top of the world, which is what the film is all about, right, their meteoric rise to rock and roll stardom? And that's what the song is: a statement, an acknowledgement of the power the band wielded at the time. And the video is just a massive celebration of that fact. Can't think of a better way to end the film, personally.
Obviously not expecting anything to come of my efforts, but I felt I had to try.

I don't think Oasis would need that much effort to get back into the light. If they announced tomorrow that they'd be getting back together, they would sell out a stadium tour. Some reissues and a documentary aren't going to make that much of a difference. Helps for legacy building, but that's it. |

Hope Liam's not a grumpy cvnt in his interviews for this. When he wants to be, he can be genuinely amusing in a quite bizarre, almost Pythonesque way that offers up a nice contrast to Noel's anecdotal shtick. But if he's the surly sourpuss of latter-day Oasis and Beady Eye, you can forget it, because that guy's a bore.

We'll most likely get a trailer around June then. This is an Oasis project - they're always delayed. Note that August/September announcement above didn't state a year. |
