Best Liam song, not by a huge margin but it's had a comfortable lead for over ten years now for me. Isn't too Lennon pastiche, or too simple. It actually sounds like Liam, and its a fully formed tune! How rare is that?

Actually I love it, one of my favorite Oasis songs.

The one Dave Sardy got right.

The live version in Buenos Aires 2006 is shocking.

they played it at manchester apparently but was left off the release along with morning glory and bring it on down (no idea why)

I remember watching it on sky and the woman doing for the voice over for the next program said something along the lines of "ever wondered what a stadium of people singing champagne supernova sounds like? oasis live in manchester next" and CS never came on, just abit odd, dont see why they would leave off 4 songs off a official release, can understand it for a TV broadcast but why not release those songs? unless they just wernt performed very well.

Pretty sure it was originally edited to fit a 90 minute slot with 15 minutes of adverts on TV (it originally aired on Channel 4 in the UK).

They probably could have re-edited it for the bonus DVD on LDSMD but I'd guess it would've cost more money than they were willing to spend and the production team all thought "well, this'll do"

I've always liked Abel, there was a funny Noel interview where he always assumed the tune was ABLE, and then upon realising it referred to the warring biblical brothers and that the opening line implied 'brother on brother sex' he said "if that's not illegal its definitely frowned on"...

You rang? 

I wasn't aware of the missing songs to be fair, although setlist seems to confirm it- Setlist.fm It could be down to to simply the band (i.e. Noel most likely) not being happy with the performance. Another more business based reason that leads to omissions that is not exclusive to Oasis is licensing for broadcast, which this gig was. In some instances the broadcaster is given rights to one or two songs for future use, which includes being omitted from any live band release, which could well be the case here with Champagne Supernova and Guess God Thinks I'm Abel.

I don't know 100% for certain but my instinct for this one says they took the broadcast money and agreed to omit two song performances for the broadcaster's exclusive use, which as is fairly common in these circumstances have since not seen the light of day.

It's fine

One of my go-to tracks when I'm playing guitar. It's fun to throw on the capo on fret four and strum out that simple, but effective pattern with those driving chords. It's a good tune, and one of the best tunes Liam has penned. I wish that the electric bit at the end would've been left out of the song, but even as it is, it's definitely a top tune. Quite under-appreciated/underrated too. Plus, the title's got a cool pun in it.
