Now he can't be serious, can he? I'm confused. My mouth is watering. Hell, what exactly did he mean? Could someone with an actual Twitter account please ask him about that? EDIT: Got it. That was already Alan's response to a question asked. Anyway, I would really like to find out about what's still hidden in the vaults and was kept back... Just tweeted Alan about The Red, White, and Blue and he replied saying that it was re-recorded as the Boy In Blue (Boy with the Blues). Would love to hear an early Oasis take on that one...

Thank you David! But to fair, what Alan is saying sounds a bit weird. You know what I mean...

If you look through the tweets and replies he said 'Beady Eye are finished'. Not that we hadn't all guessed anyway.

Thank you David! But to fair, what Alan is saying sounds a bit weird. You know what I mean... Yes I assumed that was the tune he was referring to, although now I think of it wasn't there an early version of Acquiesce with lyrics about being a blue (written as a Man City song)? Mentioned in Paul Gallagher's book I think. Probably totally unrelated but there's some scope for confusion there I guess! And then there's the possibility that I hope I think I know might have evolved from Red, White and Blue.

like said prior the parody title change seems to explain that all.
I'm sure the boy with the blues is liam song? so no way would it be the red/white/blue

Bonehead's fault. If he hadn't have been following that account I wouldn't have believed it for a second.
As it was it was a pretty good gag, mainly because he finished it at the right time.

Should be a great read, I'm sure Alan won't be anywhere near as biased as Tony was about Noel. I know that Noel was a prick to Tony but it all worked out in the end, Oasis only got better after he went.

Found this old interview Alan gave to Rhythm magazine in 2000. Interesting read! Courtesy the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine... web.archive.org/web/20041013105003/http://www.oa515.com/inter061.htm I remember how much I loved that website back in the day...I downloaded all those interviews. Maybe I'll search and share one day.

This guy is a fake. That was only a vague theory.

This guy is a fake. That was only a vague theory. Indeed. In hindsight that account initially looked legit until he started lobbing in more OTT comments towards the end (likely falsely claiming that Beady Eye were finished etc). He had Bonehead and several other official Oasis-related accounts following at the start, but I checked right near the end of the "Q&A" and they'd all gone. And a few secs later the name changed to Parody, and then it was deleted. All that nonsense aside, I'd still love to see a book by Alan White though, and Bonehead too!

This guy is a fake. That was only a vague theory. Sure? I seem to remember it mentioned in an interview years back. Something about the lyrics being too political so they changed it. Perhaps it was that Swedish fan interview where most of all the unreleased song titles were mentioned, or maybe I'm just getting old

Perhaps it was that Swedish fan interview where most of all the unreleased song titles were mentioned, or maybe I'm just getting old Yeah, I'm pretty sure. The fan interview you mentioned that Noel kindly gave to the, as of now, unfortunately defunct site "www.oasisgeneration.se" gave some brillant insights on unreleased songs. Red/White/Blue wasn't mentioned, though. Big thanks to them swedish guys after all! For anyone who missed it, enjoy it in full right here: madeinoasis.mforos.com/19009/8291615-por-fin-una-entrevista-en-condiciones-con-algunas-cosas-interesantes/It was (I think) firstly mentioned as a possible candidate for Morning Glory (the album), along with All Around The World and some others, in an press article about the recording sessions in mid-1995, might have been Melody Maker or Select. You can find a scan on the renovated official site. Sorry, I'm not bothered to look through all those hundreds of scans right now. The connection between The Red, The White and Blue was first brought up by Owen Morris himself, only recently. Davidjay had emailed him, shortly after the reissue campaign was announced, with some burning questions and he, amongst other things, replied with the following: > 8. Do you remember anything about the unreleased Oasis song The Red, White > and blue? Any details would be great. It's mentioned briefly in Paolo > Hewitt's book Getting High as being from around this period, but doesn't say > if it was ever recorded. > I didn't record it.......but I hope I think I know......NG was unsure about the "I hope I think I know" up until the last (his alternate line was going to be O A S I S ......)....possibly red white and blue was an earlier option.........But I really don't know so don't take what I'm saying with any authority. > 9. Did Liam ever record a take of the b-sides Going Nowhere and flashbax?
No.......I don't remember Flashbax! Liam was going to do backing vocals on Going Nowhere, but for some stupid reason, the talk back between the control room and Liam in the studio was on permanently (it was my last Oasis session....)....it was in Blurs studio at Matrix.......and Liam overheard me and Noel making some singer jokes, as one did, at Liams expense......stupid really........and Liam clocked it and walked out.
Read more: live4ever.proboards.com/post/1107066#ixzz38V3kXAInThanks again to David and Owen for making this happen. I sincerely hope that we will get the opportunity to ask him some more question in the future. However, I know I called it a vague theory when I actually -tend- to believe it myself. Evidence: We'll do an experiment, please ensure you're out of earshot from everybody beforehands, and try to sing the words "The Red, The White & Blue" to the chorus melody/instead of "I Hope, I Think, I Know". Perfect measure. Then again, probably rubbish.

Found some more info on Mr. Monobrow's site. It really seems to be quite an old song, written during the Boardwalk days. Well, at least they already had the title. The Red, White And Blue In Paolo Hewitt's 1997 book 'Getting High: The Adventures Of Oasis', there was a section about this song and the influences behind it. '[The band's Boardwalk rehearsal] room was small and sometimes there were pools of water on the floor. To liven the place up, Bonehead brought in some paint and they would sporadically paint the back wall in the colours of the Union Jack. Noel had even written a song called 'The Red, White And Blue', and their fascination with the British flag caused a little consternation among some onlookers. For the group, their interest in the flag had been prompted by bands such as The Who, who early in their career had used the flag in an ironic pop-art fashion. Noel says: "But because we were lads who liked drinking beer and going to football, no-one thought we would be into art or anything. It was like this song I had, "The Red, White And Blue'. That song came about cause one day I had gone down to Johnny Roadhouse [music store] to get some equipment. As I came out, there was some march going on. I'm standing there and this guy comes over and starts ranting at me for not taking any interest in his cause. I'm like, 'I'm arsed about your cause. All I want to do, mate, is be in a band. If this is your thing, then fine, I haven't got a problem with it, live and let live. But leave me out of it. He just went on and on, so I wrote this song about how if you look a certain way you instantly get labelled and I called it 'Red, White and Blue', which was also about how things like the Union Jack get hijacked and if you use it people automatically think you're part of something you're not." The song was based around a riff not that dissimilar to Issac Hayes's song 'Shaft', with Noel utilising his wah-wah pedal to maximum effect. But he soon shelved the song. "All the band really liked it but I knew if we played it, it would cause more trouble than it was worth, which is why it got sacked."'

He had Bonehead and several other official Oasis-related accounts following at the start, but I checked right near the end of the "Q&A" and they'd all gone. And a few secs later the name changed to Parody, and then it was deleted. All that nonsense aside, I'd still love to see a book by Alan White though, and Bonehead too! I agree. If I could choose one member to write a book/autobiography, it should be Bonehead. This could probably rival Hammer of the Gods or even the Mötley Crüe book of which I've just forgotten the title. I remember that all four band members contributed and shared their perspectives on various, constantly hilarious, accounts. I somehow doubt this will ever happen for Oasis, though. Still, I imagine Liam and Noel probably being approached on a weekly basis with requests. Especially since 8/28. Anyway, the book I'd like the most is actually a complete and accurate Recording Sessions guide, just like the Beatles one. I'm afraid this this isn't going to happen, either.
