What are the chances that these have been on YouTube and Limewire for the best part of two decades and gathering dust in cupboards on our old iPods? Knowing Ignition, I'd say 90%! It's hardly Ignition's fault if everything has been pilfered and already released online. They can't just make up stuff to release. I think people really need to temper expectations for this release. The general fan will probably find lots of new stuff on this but for people on here there's going to be little to nothing new. Even when we got a brand new previously unheard live version of Supersonic the other day people were moaning. 1993-1994 really has been picked clean by bootleggers. We can't then complain when there's nothing left for Ignition to give us. Ah it’s just tongue in cheek comment. But without anything of substance, it’s hard not to take the cynical view of record companies churning out negligible content for high prices. Preferably nothing if there isn’t anything in the vaults. As another famous Mancunian on this kind of thing - ‘reissue, repackage, re-evaluate the songs’ etc etc. |

I know this has probably been posted somewhere on here but someone posted this from another forum from an interview what Noel gave talking about the re issue and what it will include- In a new interview [Noel Gallagher] has elaborated on what the upcoming release will feature, and [sic]; According to the musician, the 30th anniversary reissue of ‘Definitely Maybe’ will include a host of previously lost songs — which were made during the recording sessions at the time. Telling [..] Corriere Sera how the tracks were uncovered, he said: “ In the Sony archives we’ve found tapes dating to those sessions. We thought they were lost, but they were mislabelled. They are wonderful versions of those songs, some acoustic versions.” He explained that the new tracks added to the re-release will include acoustic versions of fan-favourites, ‘Live Forever’, ‘Slide Away’ and ‘Supersonic’. He also reaffirmed that fans shouldn’t hope to see any live renditions of the new songs anytime soon. www.nme.com/news/music/noel-gallagher-confirms-definitely-maybe-30th-anniversary-reissue-for-2024-denies-oasis-reunion-tour-3436441What are the chances that these have been on YouTube and Limewire for the best part of two decades and gathering dust in cupboards on our old iPods?

Liam and Squire on Jimmy Fallon - just wow. How does the guy's voice seem to improve in his 50s? As for Squire, no one aged 61 has the right to be writing songs as good as he's done on this album. Was listening to One Day At A Time today and wow I love that chorus. To me it's a pure Stone Roses melody and it got me thinking - a question for the Roses aficionados... How did the Stone Roses writing process work, as in the split between music, lyrics and melodies? Brown doesn't play an instrument (to my knowledge), and when I hear that sort of Roses melody, my guess would be Squire on music/melodies and Brown on lyrics, but does anyone know for sure? Thanks. For the “Sally cinnamon” era until “one love”, I think both Ian and John wrote together , though as you said, I assume it was mainly John doing the music, Ian on the lyrics.I remember it saying in John Robbs book on the roses that they could spend 6 months on getting a single line right in a song (I love that Strive for perfection. Apparently Cleese and Connie booth were the same whilst writing fäwlty towers). John though wrote most of “second coming”. I think the only sole credit for Ian was “straight to the man”. “begging you” was squire/brown off the top of my head and “daybreak” had credits for squire/brown/msni/reni. From reports, John became a real recluse in this period, constantly in his room by himself, watching natural born killers and obsessing over led zep. I think this contributed to the roses demise as they lost that band unity but at the same time John came out with some AMAZING songs such as breaking into heaven, ten storey love song, love spreads etc The bluesy hard rock of Second Coming isn't a personal preference but I genuinely don't think it served them well at all. Its reputation as a disappointing follow up is fair for the fact it just became The John Squire Show. Don't get me wrong, there is some brilliance. Breaking Into Heaven and Love Spreads maintains the swagger but they'd have been better placed to go all out on the Begging You sound. A heavy dance record in that vein would have felt like a natural progression from Fools Gold and One Love. The grooves would have benefited the rhythm section, bringing Reni and Mani to the forefront and unifying the bands sound. Technically they were such an amazing band, individually brilliant musicians yet I can't help but feel the album is a massive waste of Mani and Reni's talents. |

Do the damage is a great tune. I had it opening a playlist of my favourite solo songs from the chief The only bad thing about Do The Damage is that they repurposed the first heat of the moment video for it and it's crap. Must admit those Mike Bruce videos were awful. Really have to question Noel's film tastes here! |

Well I'd prefer a new album with David Holmes, something more technicolour and ambitious rather than rehashes of the same songs. Doesn't have to be electro influenced, I want a pop album (with the kitchen sink thrown at it), and some psychedelic soundscapes ala Man Who Built The Moon. Very melodic songs like Sail On, A Dream Is All I Need To Get By, If Love Is The Law.... play to his strengths. Noel can't rock, he needs Liam for that and to be 30 years younger, and an acoustic album would be too samey. A bit of ambition in the studio, with something more sonically interesting, is what I'm asking. Translation: Noel should be more like Coldplay! Yuck. Please tell me which psychedelic pop albums Coldplay have released because I must have missed them. |

Acoustic album wasn't fussed over but a rock album excites me even less. When you hear stuff like Lock All The Doors and You Know We Can't Go Back it's like..... what's the point? I can hear better, more raucous songs in that vein from 20 years previously and it's not serving any purpose aside from repeating old tricks but sounding a hell of a lot more tired. And clean. Too clean. Sure, if he turns the guitars up to 11, runs reckless with reverb and gets Liam to sing, then I'm on board. If you don't him doing acoustic stuff and you don't want him doing rock stuff, then what do you want?

He's been great for Noel and he was great for Oasis in the 90s too. Some jazzy stuff going on with that MTV Unplugged gig.

Sometimes the player plays a section and loops it when moving onto a different part, a bit like what Ed Sheeran does. If this is the case, that's fine but if your case it is basically a pre-recorded track playing then its a big no no. Yeah that definitely wasn't the case. I've seen Ed Sheeran once at a festival and even though I think his music is super generic and boring, I was really impressed with that whole one-man-band-looping-schtick! Not a fan at all, but I was also impressed how he was able to play Wembley stadium literally just by himself. |

It really bothers me when I go to a gig, the music is synth driven and there's not a keyboard player in sight so they use backing tracks. I've seen this various times now and it really takes away from the live experience. At this particular gig the bass player played a bit on a little synth that happened to be there, but you still heard the bass too, which made me wonder how much of it is actually live? Or was I just watching a glorified karaoke show? Just let the synths out, or, if they are an important piece of the music, HIRE A FECKING KEYBOARD PLAYER!

The archive is clearly all over the shop: “Tom: What’s the band’s archive like? Because obviously you started there and had complete co-operation. Is it in good shape? Mat: It’s utterly chaotic, as you’d imagine. It’s er… well, having said that it’s in better shape now, because there’s one of our researchers – a guy called Martyn James. He’d been brought in by Ignition a couple of years ago to update everything while they were doing the Chasing the Sun reissues. So he was starting to piece it together, and then we inherited him from there. Oasis’s management company Ignition recommended him and he was brilliant. He’s an absolute obsessive and loves the band.“ www.oasis-recordinginfo.co.uk/?page_id=1952We have so much from the DM era anyway that it’s hard for them to give us much new. I’d like proper releases of the Eden Studios version and whatever is there from Monnow Valley. Almost all the gigs were bootlegged so I doubt we’re going to get any amazing new performances but an official release of Nagoya would be nice. Might as well give us the Liam sung Sad Song as well. The Stones covers would be nice if they exist. Morning Glory could be a different story. There’s a Liam sung Step Out. But I would love a 2025 remix of that album as a bonus disc because sonically it’s a mess. Just curious why you think its a sonic mess? Personally, there's nothing I'd change about the sound of that album, even the ragged recordings (e.g. Some Might Say) are the better for it giving the album a raw edge compared to other mainstream contemporaries. It's the one thing I'm glad Noel wasn't producing by himself as he's often complained about the sound of Morning Glory. Hearing his UNKLE collaboration for the reworked Cast No Shadow from 2005, it's fairly lifeless, overproduced and lacks the freshness of the original version. No Liam vocal doesn't help but the drums weigh the song down and there's none of the acoustic guitar flourishes that light up the album version. |

I mean, it isn’t much to ask for a proper quality live gig to be included, like an audio version of Live By The Sea? Is it?
Familiar to Millions ain't all that, Knebworth is vastly overrated when Maine Road should have been released, and the live performances chosen on the 2014 reissues were mediocre compared to what we know is out there.
Why is this so difficult for Ignition to grasp??

Anyone seen One Hour Photo with Robin Williams?
Watched it as a typical psychological thriller, expectedly unsettling through 90% of it, but come the last scenes and end credits, it wasn't so much as unsettling but extremely sad. Impressive but unbelievably bleak.

Eleanor Rigby I'm Only Sleeping Here, There, and Everywhere She Said She Said And Your Bird Can Sing For No One I Want to Tell You Got to Get You Into My Life Tomorrow Never Knows and if you add Paperback Writer and Rain... Hard to beat Revolver for me. I'm going to sound like an iconoclast.... but the recording of Here, There & Everywhere doesn't do it for me. Paul lays it on thick with a very sweet syrupy vocal. His version on Give My Regards To Broad Street is far better. No double track, less sweet and more heartfelt. It's a great great song, but probably the one great song of theirs that in my mind was botched in the studio. |

The middle eight of Let There Be Love is one of Noel's best melodies ever, peaks and falls, rises again like a symphony.
It says something on a post-glory years Oasis album that he could still drop in melody that all other bands would kill for. Even Coldplay at their height during this time didn't have melodies nearly as good as that bit.

You can tell Oasis means the most to her. What a photo that is of Liam at the head of the article, and the Maine Road one with Noel's arms out wide encapsulates the band.
The old terraced houses in the background, a rickety old football stadium and a bunch of lads off a nearby estate soaking up the adulation of thousands of people. No glitz or glamour, there's nothing manufactured or contrived about this, its the most authentic picture in rock n roll history.

It's Sgt. Pepper and it is not even close. It's overrated to say the album is overrated. Paul is the coolest to say 'fuck you Rolling Stones and you're desperate attempts to be rebellious' and then decides that old Edwardian style jaunty tunes are gonna be cool instead. |
