you could tell the foo fighters practiced to the album version of rock n roll star, it was a tad slower than how liam plays it now but it let him really snarl in a way he hasn't since maybe DBTT era? it was cool.

Voices definitely get deeper and more gruff. I was listening to DM and MG reissues with Noel sung demos. His voice is so high and clean. He’s nowhere near that in 2022. Not saying it’s bad but he sounds like he’s on helium in 1994. Yeah, high and clean won't be coming back. But he's found a zone in the shows this year with that smokier, gravelly voice that is really working -- and there are some great tones where his voice is now that are cooler in a way than the prettier voice of yore.
Liam's finally taking advantage of his baritone status.

i still love this album but his later stuff has def taken the spotlight for me.
it works really well as a conclusion to the songwriting he was exploring with DBTT and DOYS, I think we'd have a different opinion of this if this had been an Oasis album.
whereas CY feels like a ground zero.

cool song! first time i think a Gallagher song description was spot on, Grohl is doing a killer Beastie Boys impression on the drums.

Why didn’t Oasis play the lead intros of certain songs in the early days? At Knebworth they just belt out the chords on Morning Glory and Some Might Say, songs where I think the intro is important to the song. Thoughts? Because Noel was lazy. End of.

Liam performed it in the original way, albeit down a step or two if that helps? but honestly, Noel never really played it much like the original recording, he changed the arrangement a few times in the band before finding something he was happier with when he started playing solo.

It’s clear that living under the Noel dictatorship took a toll on the man. what IS the deal with this? Obviously guigs doesn't want the hassle but why decide to almost completely cut yourself out of the history of the band? Someone tell him there's nothing we as fans would love more than to see his little stoned smile the odd time on future releases seems like the issues between guigsy and ignition haven't been settled. but, it's not on the level of supersonic where people were airbrushed out and it doesn't affect the film.

So is Guigs just cut from this completely? All the footage shows the other 4, but hes cut out completely, I'm guessing at his own request? it's not as egregious as supersonic, he's still in a lot of wide shots but he doesn't get any close-ups like the others and any shots featuring him tend to have his face cropped.

it's pretty obvious what footage they shot for re-enactments and sometimes it feels jarring next to upscaled 90s footage but it works really well.
i wonder why they felt the need to make an entirely different audio mix for the documentary where liam is the only thing you hear.

I liked the bit where Noel said Creation records hadn’t even heard Slide Away when they signed them, then literally a couple of pages later claims to have written it when Johnny Marr gave him the second guitar 🤔 Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story Noel. Maybe it's late but I fail to see how those two clash. By all accounts, it seems like he hadn't written it when Creation had signed the band (otherwise they would have played it) and there's never a specific timeline as to when Slide Away was written - just that it was done on that guitar Johnny Marr gave him.

it makes sense for the older rockstars like Dylan, Fleetwood, et all to sell off their catalogues as they're at the point where the value isn't going to go any higher and they're all in their twilight years.
if anything, this might be too early for oasis to do the same given how public appreciation of the band has soared since they broke up but noel's made out of fuck off money at this point so I get it.

Liam sounds great but that awful strumming (reminiscent of the once demo) sounds off pace. I've mentioned before i find the way of Liam recording and sending off the vocal for everyone else to do as they please a bit soulless, but i really hate the way they edit his voice. It's like they ask him to sing in a lower key and then make it faster afterwards. Then completely take any of the rawness out of his voice. Since Liam has gone solo I continuously find myself downloading superior live versions to the lazily produced album tracks. i like this demo but I do wonder if they recorded the guitar to his vocals after the fact. like this feels more like those fanmade projects you hear on youtube and not the real starting point, you know?

do people really think he's miming still? he definitely sounds great but he's given up hitting the high parts in wall of glass. this is as live as you can get from him. None of this is real. Noel hired an actor named Richie Vanderlew back in 1993 to play Liam in the band Oasis. Everything since has been clever images, videos and miming. That is why “Liam” wasn’t on MTV Unplugged. Technical difficulties syncing the mics and real audio outputs. This feels much more like Bonehead's doing...

having watched the concert on the river Thames, the sound is different from this of the bbc ... i think they are two different sessions both are from the same session, the main difference is how liam's vocals are treated. there's more pop and warmth to the sound on the river thames stuff but the radio 2 version has filtered effects for his 'good to be back' vocals on hello

Gem and Andy are very talented and I always preferred them to Bonehead and Guigsy. But Andy was wasted on the bass in Oasis. this. they're great players but noel's direction for the band definitely influenced how the sound went and they had roles to play. i think beady eye playing oasis songs was far superior to oasis mk 2.

Fair enough! I appreciate the insight. I know Wall of Glass got as high as 21, so here's hoping this comes close to that.

12 on the official update is fucking amazing for a start considering the song just came out. With this push, a top 10 single is likely, I hope?

I'm at a bit of a loss for words, where did that come from? How do you go from this To that despite being 12 years older? I now believe Liam's story. I forget where and when be he actually agreed that for a period that he was singing like crap but it wasn't because of his effort, lifestyle, or the way he sang but it was a combination of the ear plugs he was wearing and a thyroid problem I believe. He probably had to make adjustments to compensate and now has it down. you can definitely hear his improved thyroid management in how clean his vocals sound now. even at his most ragged, he still has a full tone. the live take of Hello from this week and the hoarse one from '02 are the best A/B test...

This is cool but there is no way this is a fresh recording.
The Sardy credit and the reused elements (the vocals are definitely from the demo, right?) and stylistic decisions makes me think this was def recorded for NGHFB and shelved.
Glad it's finally out in any case.

Im struggling to see where it goes in terms of 'new' Its getting better man- Hindu Times - Better Man? Theres a ton of 1994-2000 B sides Liam hasnt touched Guess we could go in that direction LITTLE JAMES. he has yet to play it live. it's time.

Side note - I love how most of the surprise Oasis songs Liam picks tend to be set in the lower part of his range that he can absolutely crush.
I think we forget he's actually a baritone who had to sing songs written by a tenor because when you hear him do stuff like Sad Song or Stand By Me which sit well in his range, he sounds fucking amazing. As good as he was in the 90s, I don't know if he could have done Sad Song just as much justice as he is now. I hope he does something like Underneath the Sky next.

Nothing has leaked, leaks can be shared. If anyone has heard anything it’ll be direct. Yes, that’s what I was asking. I was not asking for you to share leaked material. I was only asking if you have heard the full song? That is, are you sure that I should not worry about the chorus? igotflair works/has contacts in liam's camp, so they've definitely heard it. if they feel the song is good, we can take their word for it.

I think the issue with Liam's band is he's got no clue as how to manage a band. He likes to be in a band but knows next to nothing about guitars and how sound works. That's not meant to slag him off but he needs a captain in the band to steer it into the right direction and clearly his current band doesn't have one. Yeah, this is the issue. The band honestly isn't that bad (save for Jay) but it took them the entire length of the tour to hone in on what their sound was. Granted, these guys aren't on the level that Beady Eye were in the sense that Beady Eye could learn those songs and play them spot on and have it sound convincing. But considering Liam wanted a band that sounds like '94 Oasis, they do the job well. Jay's sound is just....too thick. His distortion tones sound like something you'd use in an American rock band. Gem and Noel have used Voxes and can get a ferocious jangle but Jay makes it sound like tinfoil. Case in point - him playing the intro of C&A and having it sound like thick mud!
