Sometime in 1994, i was in London and I vividly remember being in my father’s car. As he’s driving my father cautions me of these apparent hooligan brothers masquerading as rock stars. Being only six at the time,I was confused as to why anyone would like pop stars for their boorish behaviour allegedly rather than their music. I would soon understand the appeal. My father was warning me about Oasis, who were becoming a phenomenon of youth culture at the time. My father got this one wrong - he loathes Oasis still to this very day. Sorry, dad. Stay mad fer it. I have a similar story when oasis came out my dad said they wouldn't last 5 minutes and weren't very good and it was a waste of time listening to them, my dad died on 4th August 2009 2 weeks later oasis split up I always found that slightly ironic |

The stories from you guys are pretty similar to mine. Back in -96 me and and a couple of friends were listening to music and talking about bands. I mistakenly asked them what do they think about Oasis, and they said something like "those greasy hair idiots", "every song sounds the same, you don't know when a song ends and new one starts". I felt speechless and just left it like that. There was no point of arguing. I just kept listening to the best band in the world.

I borrowed my dad's copy of WTSMG and played it to death, then one day he came into the living room and casually asked me, my mum and my brother if any of us wanted to go see Oasis at Wembley Stadium that summer. I immediately said yes and so I went with him and his mate to what turned out to be the familiar to millions gig in July 2000 and here we are nearly 25 years later. Went with my dad on Thursday to see Liam and he's coming with me again on Tuesday. He's as mad fer it as the rest of us here and he's pushing 70. |

I posted something years ago about how apparently Oasis were asked to do Glastonbury '97 but turned it down to finish recording Be Here Now and Radiohead eventually became their slot.
I don't even know where I fucking read that. The only reason Im bringing it up now is because my friend who is a Radiohead fan mentioned that story in a joke a couple nights back because I told him that story.
That's not even remotely true is it? Where the fuck did I read that. Have I held some stupid lie in my head for three years?

I don't know if it's true, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were asked to do Glastonbury. However, wasn't Be Here Now recording /mixing and mastering finished in the early spring? Of course they still had the DYKWIM video to do, artwork for the album and single and rehearsals for the upcoming tour, so they were probably very busy during the summer and for those reasons declined the possible offer. |

I’d be surprised if Oasis were asked to headline Glastonbury in 97 because they’d already played in 94 and headlined in 95 so might have been too soon.
I reckon most of the Be Here Now stuff would have been wrapped up by then.

There’s a Jill Furmanovski photo with Noel holding a CDR copy of the album with the date 1st May 1997 on it. So I think they were virtually finished with recording etc. Glastonbury is normally in the end of June. I’d imagine they were in rehearsals, they had a couple of gigs with U2 in USA before the main tour started in September. It’s from the same photo session where they end up in the pub and write on the black board. |

I remember reading their interview of Liam and Noel and those photos were there. Great pictures. |

What a fantastic lyric.

Always intrigues me how Noel stated in the 90s the first three albums would be a 'trilogy' and from there on, things would be different.
You can hear some elements of Noel trying to take Oasis in a different direction - the music is more multitextured, less brash, more sophisticated, and there was the odd samples dropped in too (Fuckin In The Bushes, Go Let It Out).
But I don't think he had the energy in him to see it through. Who knows what it would have been like if he'd had the drive and determination he had six years earlier. Listening to Standing, it's hard not to hear a tiredness and despondency that the lyrics suggest.

Bit of a letdown. Parents found the full Supersonic interview book in a local charity store so got it me……and about 50 pages have been cut out 😂

SOTSOG is their comedown album from the madness of the 90s IMO and it shows through the album, agree with what you're saying here. It was a really turbulent time in the band personally and collectively and that carried over into the World Tour that followed though the ship was steadied IMO across 2001 and most of 2002 if I remember correctly. |

Listening to Standing, it's hard not to hear a tiredness and despondency that the lyrics suggest. What I didn't realize about Noel was how important being 'big' was to him. Ultimately the critical and commercial reaction BHN (after it's initial release) and SOTSOG ended the possibility of Oasis going far off the beaten track. If BHN was to much, I think Noel viewed SOTSOG as an overcorrection. Oasis only ever went for something in between the two thereafter. Until WBTM (his best record imo) that was critically well received but Noel seems to think was shunned by fans. Frankly some of his comments about it have been bizarre. It looks like it's confirmed in his mind the folly of going to far away from what's expected of him and oddly that seems to be connected to popularity. |

It was like SOTSOG was "too much" so they went to the complete opposite which gave us an uninteresting record that was way too back to basics and formulaic. |
