Another thing I would actually of liked to hear more about is when Tony sued the band. We just skipped over that. I've always wanted to know WHY he did it, how he felt about the settlement and how Noel, Liam and Bonehead reacted to it and how they felt about it, especially looking back. I just thought it was strange how it just skipped over it He has a book. I couldn't face reading it again. You'd want a Zantac while reading it but the info you want is in there. I think, it's been years since I read it. |

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Highlights for me were:-
1) Liam's vocal of Champagne Supernova in the studio.
2) Liam version of Sad Song was an unexpected surprise.
3) The Amsterdam ferry story was funny as fuck.
4) Some of Noel's early haircuts...wow.
5) The footage of Noel phoning home/the phone conversation between McGee and Marcus Russell - where the hell did they get this from?1
Can't wait for the dvd release and any bonus material there might be on there already. I thought Liam came across extremely well and as someone else has said, Noel was as expected but seemed to change and become a bit more of a nob after leaving on the US tour.
I did think I'd seen Whitey removed from some of the footage but couldn't tell if I'd just missed it at the time - a big shame really as being a drummer (and him being the reason I picked up my sticks in the first place), I'd liked to have heard more from him.

Did anyone else notice that Guigs was digitally removed from all the Top of the Pops footage??? Weird. was there any mention of him then? seems like a strange thing if he was talked about anyway but if not it might be simply that he wasnt willing to take part in the film and with him not really being the most noticeable person of the band they just removed any mention of him as to not point it out and have people wonder he is.....still seems abit extreme to chris benoit him from footage like that. They talked about him loads. I didn't notice any digital cutting of him. He's in the film as much as the rest of them are. |

I understand it's probably in there but, I still would have liked to have heard Noel and Liam's side of events at that point |

They never did explain why they had footage of Noel phoning Paul and his mum from the Inspiral Carpets tour, that and the recording of the McGee/Owen Morris phone conversation was bizarre. They didn't. That footage of Noel looks to be like it's from either the MG tour or BHN tour - pretty sure it's actually him doing a phone interview - and the footage of Paul and Peggie is from when Oasis have made it. They just matched over the footage with the interviews. |

Did Noel actually ever say something about the film? We have lots of Liam comments which is great of course but Noel seems to not wanna get invloved in anything of this which is a shame I think. I mean of course he did the Interview for the movie itself but some comments on the final thing would be interesting to hear.

Overall, a great great doc.
It was euphoric, and sad at the same time in a way (that it'll never be repeated - and it won't, it just can't be done).
The narrative was spot on.
For people who haven't seen it yet - it does flick in between years somewhat (e.g. there's some clips from 97 in there as well) but it all fits together seamlessly.
Will get this when it comes out on iTunes etc at the end of the month.

Here's an interview Noel did a few months back where he talked about the doc, his thoughts on it and how involved he was in the making of the film: |

Yeah that bit was really good , there were a few scenes like that , another when Liam or Noel said , I can't remember who, is all they have to do is look at each other on stage and they know what to do. There was quite a few deep scenes like Noel talking about his dad that you never normally hear. I'd say it's the best documentary that's been released so far , suppose the only other good doc was the definitely maybe 10th anniversary doc but this doc covers most for casual fans and hardcore fans. |

They said that Mark Coyle left in 1995? But he was involved with Be Here Now wasn't he? And you can see him in the Lord Don't Slow Me Down documentary backstage when they walk out at MSG.

Fantastic, funny and entertaining film. What a brilliant band they were in this period, and watching this film just makes you realise how that sort of this will probably never happen again. I know it's impossible to include everything but a big part of me wishes they'd covered so much more. There wasn't much about Noel early songwriting and no mention of him injuring his foot working with the gas company. There was some great footage of him on tour with the Inspirals though.
I also would have liked to see a lot more around the Morning Glory album launch, there was no mention of it in terms of when it came out or the public reaction to it.
I wished the film covered the Be Here Now period too, and in my eyes 1998 was the true ending of this period of Oasis, would have been a great place to cut it off after the chaos of the Be Here Now period. Although I do understand that Knebworth is seen by many as the absolute peak of their powers, so I see why the director cut it off there.
Some brilliant highlights though, mainly the footage from recording sessions, their arrival at Knebworth. Liam and Noels insights into their early touring and it was great to see those monumental 95/96 gigs on the big screen.
The Q and A afterwards was appalling, the guy who was supposed to be controlling it didn't have a fucking clue how to conduct an interview. Wasted opportunity.

I liked the bit where the band were waiting to go on at Knebworth and were all crouched in front of the backstage TV monitor watching this:

Anyone know what Scott Mcloud is up to now? The bit about him in the film was funny, they rinsed him.

What I found really interesting is how good the songs sounded. Are there secret high quality recordings of see the sun, take me etc... or has some genius done an incredible job of remastering songs for the soundtrack? Even the live stuff like the excerpts from Knebworth and Dublin sounded fantastic, far better than the supposed soundboard rips I have. Liam doing sad song was good. Home footage of Noel ringing home in 1991, what the fuck.
Whoever twatted Liam with a hammer and brained the music into him - nice one. Looks like there's lots of very high quality Knebworth footage waiting in the archive. Upscaled 1080p DVD release quality. Tommy. What a twat. If the footage during that scene was actually recorded in Dublin then that is incredible. Live interview was a bit cringe. Bonehead looks like George Michael. I want this 8 hour cut, I want to see everything. Both of them are very, very witty. "Coconut stall" - brilliant. Agree on all of them mate - was a class film. Though the phone bit wasn't the actual footage. As you noticed it was just Peggie and Noel recalling the interview. The footage is from around the time of MG (maybe even BHN) - you can tell with Noel's hair/age. |

I believe he did a little bit of D'you Know What I Mean, nothing else though. And I expect he still came backstage to hang out with the band even after he left his official capacity. |

Oh, as well - Liam's version of Sad Song ----- Amazing. Liam's vocal take of Champagne Supernova ---- Amazing (as is all the Rockfield footage). The bit where they cut to just Liam's vocals on Rock N Roll Star was incredible. This. Liam demo's and unheard recordings finally! 4/5 from me overall. Wow! Lost a Star for a lack of Be Here Now |

Anyone know why Phil Smith left as a roadie around Morning Glory? And also what year did he rejoin them (as a dj I think) as he's in the LDSMD film. If I remember correctly Phil Smith left Oasis to go back to working with the Stone Roses when they did their Second Coming tour. Excellent documentary. Sad Song was brilliant. That, and the vocal version of C&A from Monnow Valley, keep me excited for future releases as there is clearly lots in the vault. Noticed Guigsy missing from Top of the Pops as well. A bit weird! Thought it was a bit to fast on the early stuff - no mention of the Real People though I noticed their names in the 'Thank You's in the credits. Q&A highlight: Liam's favourite gig was T in the Park '94 - my first Oasis gig! |

I was wondering that as well mate, how good the very early songs sounded, would be interesting to know that but it would probably go back to Noel not being that bothered about them being released unless there's an anthology type album released one day. |
