Did you enjoy or listen to any of Oasis's later music like Be Here Now, Standing On The Shoulder of Giants, Heathen Chemistry etc?

Yes, anything about the early demos would be great. I'm almost duty bound to add these ones about Columbia to the list... What are his memories of recording the demo of Columbia with the Real People? Did he have to play along to a click track in order to keep time with the chant sample on the outro? Or did he play along to the loop by listening on headphones? Whose idea was it to use that sample, and does he remember which record it was taken from? Or even the artist's name? Does he have any photos from the Liverpool demo sessions? Apparently the Realies don't.

Great questions, thanks all. Keep them coming, especially the specific stuff. A lot of you know more than I do so I really appreciate it.

How did the conversation go with Liam and you after the Supersonic screening in Manchester? Was it the first time you'd spoken since 1995?

Could you ask Tony about 'The Red, White and Blue'? It's a song that was mentioned in Paulo Hewitt's book 'Getting High'. Apparently it was early favourite of the band in the Boardwalk days but was shelved by Noel as he was worried about the National Front cottoning onto the band (possibly due to the Morrissey Union Jack controversy too). Did the song evolve into something else or were any lyrics/verses/chorus used for later songs? Does he recall any of the lyrics? Does a recording of it exist anywhere?

Hi Tony,
If you were not in Oasis in their early years, what would you have done instead? Also as being a music lover myself, I would love to hear your thoughts about music these days.
Whatever people say about you, you have your own page in Oasis history.
Take care.

IF (a big if) asked, would you participate in an Oasis reunion tour?

What does he thinks of Oasis in the 00's, Beady Eye and NGHFB.
Any other songtitles that aren't known so far would be nice.
Did Tony contribute to the songwriting in The Rain?
What does he remember of the ferry incident in 1994?
What he thought when he first heard Don't Look Back in Anger at the Sheffield Arena in 1995.

Favorite song to play? Favorite gig he played? Does Supersonic accurately represent his time in the band?

What are some of your favourite songs written by liam?
Do you share liams view that noel looks like a potato?
Do you know what the song that has now been labelled as the "penis track" on the be here now re issue is (highly unlikely but there could have been ideas kicking around in '95 so worth a try)
How do you feel about the way the gallaghers are presented in the public eye where liam is seen as a very violent, angry and dangerous individual and noel is looked upon as the nicer, more approachable, down to earth one. I know from reading your book that you would probably beg to differ
Also what are you up to musically now? Do you still play in a band or play the drums at all?
Cheers tony, peace and love from all the oasis fans!

Did you ever question if you were good enough to be in Oasis, before Noel brought it up?

Ask Tony when he knew it would happen (Oasis would make it big). Was it a song Noel wrote, or a performance by the band, someone else's comments or perspective?

Thanks everyone for the questions (well almost everyone...!).
Tony was a great guy and a very engaging guest. I got through quite a few of your questions and I give the forum a couple of shout outs.
Sorry if I didn't read your question or did and didn't credit you - across here, twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Reddit the same questions or variations came up quite a bit and I tried to find the names where I could.
I didn't go too hard with anything pushy - best to keep it cool, make sure he's happy with it and then we can always do it again and touch on some of the bits we missed. By the sounds of it he was really pleased so no reason we can't do a part 2
