Was there any other unreleased music found in the vaults alongside the Liam sung Sad Song that was considered for the film?
Best of luck with the interview!

Please ask him "if he'd be a pervert if he had a packet of crisps on his head?"
or what Jim said.

Why didn't the Battle of Britpop get mentioned in the film?

I can't think a better question than what Jim said. Good luck with the interview and a huge thanks to Mat from all the Oasis fans in the world. He's done a great job. I've seen the documentary twice, but want to see it again and again.

Why didn't the Battle of Britpop get mentioned in the film? He said that it was included at one point, but it was cut out of it because there was more interesting stuff he wanted to show... Also, I think there are other sufficient reasons for it's exclusion; there has already said enough about it. And, think the documentary should always have been about the band, and not this media-created and fairly exaggerated conflict between the two bands. Personally have a big distaste for Blur, and the less said about them, the better...especially in a documentary about Oasis... Why only till Knebworth and why not telling the whole Oasis story till 2009? The idea was to show how a band "coming from nothing" were able to play to 250.000 people within the timespan of three years. Bonehead would agree...

I agree, but Oasis did benefit from it too. If anything, both the (Steve Sutherland's) NME and Blur have benefited from it. They deliberately changed the release date of Country House to "compete" (as if that's even possible) with Oasis' Roll With It. Fucking knobs.

So I think it deserved to at least get mentioned.

It's even a stupid thing to do; letting a authentic Rock & Roll band compete with a shiny, happy Pop band. The whole Britpop-thing was a media creation, which Oasis themselves distanced themselves from. Oasis made music for the sake of their own music, not to compete with a act like Blur.

In all seriousness, ask him what the 7 songs were that Hewitt mentions in his book (below)
'On his return home, Noel would play the [Mustique] tape to trusted friends and the like although he rarely mentioned the existence of another tape he had also cut with Owen. This featured seven more songs, written in the earlier part of the year, that he claimed were the best he had ever come up with. He would deposit them in his songwriting account for future use.'

I don't think you understand me. I know that Blur and the NME created this whole Battle of Britpop thing, but you can't deny that Oasis did benefit from that too. Oasis definitely did benefit from it in 1995 no matter what Noel etc say. Roll With It sold over 250k in it first week (still didn't get to number 1) and was their biggest selling single at that point. It gave them a lot of attention in the UK for the album that came 6 weeks later. I'm not a Blur fan but they were a decent band. They just weren't universal like Oasis with their sound. And I appreciate Albarn's progression - some of the opera shit he's done is a bit far, but he's clearly a very talented and creative musician, and some of the stuff he's done with Gorillaz was brilliant. Imagine his creativity with Noel's songwriting!

I do understand you, but I don't agree. In fact, quite the opposite. If the media really did pay attention to their fantastic music instead of creating tabloid stories and setting up childish rivalries, then Oasis would've been probably even bigger than they did become...

Oasis also benefitted from the media bollocks at that time for at least 2 months, end of.

As if Oasis was benefiting from the very thing that stood in it's way. So, no, I cannot agree with you guys on this. Sorry. Let's move on!

Blur used to be more famous than Oasis, then Oasis lost The battle but also it gave a lot of midia for then, then after that came Wonderwall, MG, DLBIA, CS, Knebworth and BUM, the rest was history, Oasis became the biggest britsh band of its time.

The main reason Blur won was they they released CD1 and CD2 of the single. So all their fans bought two copies.

Blur may have won the battle, but Oasis won the war. Not only did WTSMG sell more than The Great Escape, but Oasis sold much more records than Blur did in general.
