Their point is why is the world freaking out over a virus that has a less than 1% death rate and has never been isolated, when there other things going on that are way more important. Well c’mon you tell me. Since you clearly think covid id nothing to worry about - why is the entire would freaking out about it? Because they've been told to. If heart disease, HIV or the seasonal flu was shoved in your face 24/7, everyone would be having the same reaction

Sure, it didn't start out that way. But that is what it became nonetheless and should be judged accordingly. It became a witchhunt movement which in my opinion, hurt the general concept more than it gave aid. The central problem with the movement is that it was a minority of women and men poisoning the majority of followers. This being the direct result of presuming guilt before innocence, or using faith instead of evidence. But in all fairness, it's primarily the consequence of poor education overall. It's the same sort of mindset that creates these debates over whether or not covid-19 is a hoax or whether or not to wear masks and social distance. As far as I am concerned, ignorance and poor critical thinking is rapidly destroying America.
The world, not just America.

He didn't even do anything. His girlfriend even confirmed it was blown out of proportion. I didn't say he did, but celebrities nowadays get cancelled for far lesser things (it rarely lasts mind you) and it's weird that it had 0 repercussion, knowing that Liam was once accused of groping an air hostess (so it's not the first time something shady happened bewteen him and a woman). Noel literally trended on Twitter because 25 years ago he called Michael Hutchence a has-been, after Michael slagged them off publicly (which never gets said). Celeb stories change every week. Unless it's a major crime that's been committed, a celeb story will be forgotten about when the next one comes along. Chris Brown basically got away with beating Rhianna half to death, whilst Louis C.K got cancelled for being inappropriate (but not criminal) around women. It depends on who you are, how much money you have and how the media portrays you, weather or not you're cancelled.

Two years later pretty much everyone forgot about it. Seems like Liam can get away with everything. Or he's not famous enough to cause a real scandal. Btw not cool the way you seem to dismiss #Metoo #MeToo presumes guilt before innocence as it suits them. But suddenly when somebody like their preferred political candidate is accused, "let's just ignore him because its convenient for my bias." It's somewhat lacking of integrity.
I work off evidence, not finger pointing and he said, she said. And unfortunately, many people finger point and lie for the sake of gaining sympathy, even hopeful monetary compensation or perhaps just because the accuser is a truly vile person and enjoys destroying the lives of innocent people.
That's not to say all they point to are innocent, but enough are. The going narrative is, if it's a #MeToo, automatically believe them. I have higher standards than taking things on faith. Faith is the excuse people give when they have no good evidence. In my eyes, much like The Bible, it's entirely irrelevant that #MeToo can bring about some positive results, because the method it goes about to achieve it is fundamentally flawed and is not reliable and unfortunately, brings with it a lot of awful baggage that it cannot shake. I require a higher standard than faith.
Truth.

1. Whether he's an abuser or not, the shitty footage and the tabloids paint him that way. It will tarnish whatever reputation he's built in the last year. No chance of recovery. Not in our current social climate where everybody is looking for a witch to burn. 2. The next thing that will happen is #MeToo. All those sideshow girls will come out of the woodwork for their 5 minutes of fame claiming he assaulted them too, regardless if he did or not. What a disaster. Two years later pretty much everyone forgot about it. Seems like Liam can get away with everything. Or he's not famous enough to cause a real scandal.

to my knowledge, youtube is in high quality 265 kbps max... just buy cd/vinyl or stream from tidal/spotify Youtube is now only 128 kbps for audio, unless you pay for one of their premium memberships. Why is OP insisting the YouTube upload is amazing and historical quality? I honestly dont get it

I know he could write acoustic tracks in his sleep, and I love both WBTM and the EPs, but this is so haunting and heartfelt it's so beautiful This is a 10/10 Noel track for me. Noels at his best when he's stripped back, soft voiced, acoustic and atmospheric.

it's not like it's the holy grail of NGHFB's catalogue... nice track but no different from what's already available IMO, and as far as I can see this youtube version is only 128kbps unless there's something different on youtube play or whatever the pay subscription may be called I don't know, maybe it's that I'm old fashioned and I prefer to own and have everything instead of depending on whatever it's made available to stream at any given time Agreed and agreed.

Heathen Chemistry is a deplorable, despicable, abomination of a record. Shit songs, shit production and 7 of my 10 least favourite Oasis album tracks on 1 disk, Each to their own but apart from Songbird and Born on a Different Cloud id happily never listen to any of those songs again Tastes are strange. It's on my top 3. Yeah, I'd pick it before of BHN. It's in my top 3 too, despite the bad production quality.

What? It's already available digitally on Spotify and Amazon. I've had a 320kbs copy of it since 2011. You might want to re-evaluate your outlook on this. Not everything available in your country is exactly available everywhere. Nowhere does this exist as a CD rip online. No one has ever bothered to rip their CD of the single. Nor has anyone done a better Vinyl rip (see the Dying of the Light demo rip for example). This version is basically better than everyone else's copy, until someone actually rips their original CD copy to FLAC and then I could maybe just disregard this, but this version is definitely higher quality than your 320kbps version. Sorry. It sounds exactly the same as my copy. Sorry. And where does it say that the quality is better than anyone else's? It's literally just an uploaded mp3 to YouTube.

Just going to throw this weird one out there. 9 years since the If I Had a Gun single finally became a single, and I specifically remember a copy of the b-side in very, very low quality being leaked. Was that completely okay to live with? Not exactly, because whoever ripped their CD didn't do a good job and obviously screwed himself over, as well as their channel because the originally leaked audio video is clearly gone now. Obviously. Second, the track has DEFINITELY been available for the past 9 years, I am completely aware of that, but from an even lower, dustier vinyl rip. No offence to the Ripper, but have you ever heard of soap and water? Anyway... Here's "I'd Pick You Every Time" available for the first time, digitally, after 9 years. Not even joking. This is the first time we've had a good, better copy than our Vinyl copies (I'm looking at you 'Songs From the Great White North EP' rippers). What? It's already available digitally on Spotify and Amazon. I've had a 320kbs copy of it since 2011.

Let's see an LG/RZA collab then. Cant believe Liam gave Wu-Tang a shout out! Just when I thought I couldn't like him even more

Is UNKLE's Psyence Fiction the best collaboration album? Richard Ashcroft, Ian Brown, Noel Gallagher,Thom Yorke, DJ Shadow, Mike D, Kool G Rap, Badly Drawn Boy and Mark Hollis.

I wonder what it was that convinced Liam to do those guest vocals/collaborations in the 2000's? Even if he doesnt have any collabs on his next album, I'd like to hear him perform on someone else's album, at least.

I wanna hear him fronting a track by either the Black Keys, some kinda dirty aggressive blues, or Tame Impala. Or Amorphous Androgynous!! 🤪 The Oasis-lite tracks aren’t as good as actual Oasis tracks to me so I don’t care if we don’t have any more of that stuff on album 3 Liam’s a big enough name where he could collaborate with someone doing something more interesting sounding than some of the filler on the first couple of albums. Imagine some tracks that sound like Shoot Down or Scorpio Rising! That would be SICK A whole album, or even an EP of collaborations with different artists and producers would be amazing. I guess money wise it would be too hard to pull off (maybe), but imagine tracks with BRMC, UNKLE, Ashcroft...

I'm pretty sure Liam has access to a recording/rehearsal studio in England. Presumably that's what's he's been doing lately with his band. I like them as a live band (I know I'm in the minority) but I don't want it to be an album with him and his live band. This might sound contradictory but I want him to do something completely different but do it with Andrew Wyatt. I think Andrew can take Liam in a different more adventurous direction. I really like the 'aesthetic' and sound of the LG/Wyatt tracks. I'm afraid that an album with his live band would be a bunch of 'I Get By's. I want Andrew Wyatt to do for Liam's 3rd Album what David Holmes did for Noel on his third. I don't mean literally make Liam write songs in the studio but to really push him out of his comfort zone. Based on Andrew Wyatt's resume, he doesn't just follow one path. Same for me, except I'd like to hear a few different producers on different tracks. Dave Sitek, James Lavelle, Chris Potter...would be nice to hear different takes on each song. Or at least get some remixes. I think it would be good for Liam to record the album live tbh. We can all hear the difference between the studio tracks and when they're performed live.

Yeah, I imagine it's impossible to make contact and send lyrics to people who live in another country. Obviously not what was I wondering. It's been tough for me, but I do understand the mechanics of e-mail. Not the same as banging out songs together in a room, is it? Anyway, we shall see what it is soon enough. I'm pretty sure Liam has access to a recording/rehearsal studio in England. Presumably that's what's he's been doing lately with his band.

He also talked about writing songs on the radio interview recently. I'm sure his "army of songrwriters" will have a look at the material too like before. Wonder if it remains the same "army." Don't think he'll be flying out to LA right now. Yeah, I imagine it's impossible to make contact and send lyrics to people who live in another country.

Never understood the hate for (Probably) All In The Mind. Yeah, the production on that album is pretty shit, but the songs are great. Also, why do people hate The Cage so much? It's a great instrumental IMO.
For me, anyway:
1. Importance Of Being Idle (never liked it, never listen to it)
2. Mucky Fingers (bland and crap production)
3. Ain't Got Nothing (B-side worthy at best)

Cannot get over Rough and Rowdy Ways. It's one of the best albums Dylan's ever made. Right up there with his classics. It's his most emotive vocal performance ever. It's album of the year. I'm shocked by how good it is - I didn't think he had this left in his locker. I'm glad we finally got a new original album, I really wasnt interested in his covers albums or most of the bootleg series he's put out recently. I'm not particularly a fan on younger Dylan, so I really hope we get another post-2000 based bootleg series album.

Chinatown is an underrated tune. Some of the lyrics are iffy, but: Concentrate on winning Forget about beginning Forget about the middle and end
Is proper Harrison-esque stuff. Love it. Telephonic doses Eliminate neurosis And some say it's the cause of it all Nothing iffy about the lyrics at all IMO. People just critisice them because they're not typical and generic. Chinatown is possibly my favourite song on AYW. It takes me back to the summer of 2017 everytime I hear it, it's a great tune.
