Are you talking about a bunch of clips in one song? There was something like that going around online called Revolution Ten after DBTT was released. It had clips of every song they had released up to that point.

I personally love BHN album as do a ton of others on the forum. People often say it was hyped up and didn't live up to it and then people say it was a disaster. But I think people suddenly decided it was no longer fashionable to like oasis and that was that. DYKWIM was eagerly anticipated. Mtv went nuts for it (video launch) it went to number 1 and people were positive. Don't recall people saying it was too long or rewrite if wonderwall Then BHN album was launched and was mega fast selling The next single went to number 2 (but I count this as a number 2 any other time, as princess Diana died and elton johns song was number 1 - so that's pretty good Their live shows were amazing at this time AATW went to number 1 too So surely people were still loving oasis really and BHN was still liked Just seems to me people have then jumped in the bandwagon of "songs too long ". I've heard people blame the death of Diana on the UK's own bad reception to BHN before and I always thought that was interesting ... that the national mood would be swayed over to light pop music paving the way for bands like Coldplay and no one was interested in a big loud rock 'n roll record. Sort of like how after 9/11 the US moved out of 90s shock culture and away from bands like Marilyn Manson.

Do they even give a shit about the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame? I don't know if it's ever come up in interviews or anything.

I enjoy both, but Smiths all the way.
I don't think I started seriously getting into music until after Kurt's death and after that I was busy diving into classic rock, so I about missed the entire grunge scene. In the late 90s I bought Nevermind and the girl at Best Buy smirked like 'you're just now getting this?' I took it home, listened to it, and sat there thinking 'why was this so popular?' It was good, quite good, but I came to the conclusion that without being part of that scene and being there to regurgitate what had come before, I was never going to be into them as much as I could have. I like them but I'll never be a true fan.
I never even got the whole 'grunge makes me feel depressed/feel this or that' thing. I've felt all kinds of things listening to all kinds of music, but grunge as a whole was just ... good rock and roll, for the most part. It never felt all that visceral to me. It was just kind of there.
Then even later I got The Queen is Dead through following Oasis and that album became an instant favorite. I love Morrissey's voice and lyrics and Marr's guitar. I'm sure there's plenty I don't actually 'get' about them but it's less than Nirvana.

Have to say I've been really surprised at my own lack of interest in BE.
After being a massive Oasis fan I didn't get the first BE album for like a year, listened to it once or twice, hated it.
I got the second on vinyl because I loved the cover and I still have never actually gotten around to playing it. I will sometime, but I don't know ... I just can't stand the remains of Oasis just sounding like another dull band to me. It's too depressing. Never had that problem with Noel ... I knew he was still going to put out high quality stuff and he definitely has.
I will say that I liked that song 'World Outside My Room' or whatever it's called. I'll be happy if the second album has more like that.
I almost wish Liam had gotten together Guigs, Bonehead, Alan and a new guitarist to form BE. It might have looked ridiculous, but seeing them go full circle would have piqued my interest more.

Probably 'Russian car crashes' on youtube. I'm watching those compilations at least a few times a week.

Oasis Paul Weller/The Jam/Style Council Nick Drake Reef The Smiths Radiohead Beatles Stone Roses Kings of Convenience Ambulance LTDI dug their early EPs and debut then they disappeared seemingly forever. I know and it pains the crap out of me. They were so good. The members split into side projects called The Red Romance and Drug Cabin but I think they just scarcely released an album and an EP over the internet, respectively. If I'd have remembered them I'd have added Acetone, a 90's surf-jam band that put out some great albums before their singer died. They even opened for Oasis and Verve--I'd loved to have seen that.

I love them all and they're all great for their own reasons, but FTM had a more diverse set of songs with more skilled performance and decent extras.

- Does anybody know why they never made the following editions? Given the time frame on the cover, I wonder if it had anything to do with that troubled US tour and the concerns that the band was going to split at any time. They were recording BHN too, so maybe not, but maybe.

Feel bad for the people who had tickets to the cancelled shows, but mad respect to him for doing that.

Vinyl or CDs always and then copied to my iPod, unless it's a rare release with an insanely high going price or I can't get a hard copy at all. I'd be too worried that someday something might happen to my device AND I couldn't re-download because of some technicality with the service.

In Michael Krugman's book Supersonic Supernova I believe he mentions Noel stopping for a Big Mac before one of their big concerts. There's also a hilarious quote Noel made about the band trashing a hotel where he claims he was in his room "reading The Independant with a glass of orange juice." I don't know about in Britain, but in Canada, KFC just isn't what it used to be. Used to get proper crispy skin, salty but flavourful. Now its all half-assed, sloppy batter. They don't do extra crispy anymore. Apparently the Colonel was not happy when the chain introduced extra crispy without his consent. I'm in Michigan and can second this. Too greasy and too much dark meat. If I want chicken now I go to a local place or Boston Market.

Always feel so welcome here by fine folks you ... In case this is a known song that was mislabeled part of the lyrics are: He's an operator He's a little player And if you mess with him, you know you'll never win He's an instigator Better than an innovator And when he knocks you better ... You better let him in The last two Oasis albums I was on forums like this debunking fake songs all the time, and if the singer's not Liam, he's doing the best job I've come across. I'd post it but I don't want to risk breaking the board rules. Mods? Touche, then. If I had remembered how close they got with Supercollider I'd have looked them up first.

I've downloaded a Beady Eye song with this title but found no menion of it here or on youtube or wikipedia ... just wondering where it's from. PROBABLY SOME CRAP BAND TRYING TO GET FOOLS LIKE YOU TO THINK IT'S GOOD! AND that it's actually Beady Eye. Seriously - if people don't know Liam's voice by now then why are you here!

Don't hold your breath on a big box treatment like they gave the Beatles. The only other band that might possibly ever happen with is Pink Floyd, maybe Led Zeppelin.
Maybe eventually we'll get something like what they did for Green Day, if they were to go that direction any further with band specific games.

I got one when I was on the Oasis mailing list back in 97. They actually rang me up and asked if I wanted one! Good times. Yeah, I always read that it was a fan club exclusive or something like that. I have it, and it's on the top of my CD shelves next to a similar set of Stanley Road and in between them is the DM and WTSMG singles sets. I never touch any of them, but they're still fun to look at. You made out good on the price.

Mucky Fingers was addressed to Tony Blair for his role in Iraq. I believe somebody on this forum linked to a story where Noel confirmed it himself.

Why is it that other bands such as U2, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Coldplay, despite having had much more success in the last decade, are unable to have fans that are dedicated to the band enough to endlessly delve into their b-sides or converse on fan forum's as large and thorough as this one? RHCP made a couple of very good albums but are mostly a party band. U2 also had some genuinely good stuff but for the most part it's bland, inoffensive stuff. I never understood why Green Day is popular. The Oasis approach is polarizing because every album, especially the first three, and especially BHN, comes off as saying "this is going to blow you away and be the greatest album you ever hear in your lifetime, bow down to us or fuck off." SOTSOG and maybe DOYS were the only real exceptions. Even the soft acoustic b-sides, something about how they're structured, don't let you just "like" the band. Then go listen to Vertigo or Clocks or whatever's big now ... it's hard to imagine anyone not having a part of them that likes those songs, but it just kinda ends there. It doesn't get in your face or "ask" for what Oasis asks for. And people either have what makes them appreciate that attitude or they don't.

The scan is what messes up the contrast; the actual drawing looks way better in that regard. I guess I'll have to learn some basic Photoshop or some other software to darken these.
Noel's mouth should've been a little higher. I made that magna connection about the eye too. I wanted to bring down the eyebrow just a bit more to hide it, but was afraid Liam was looking like a primate before I finished it, so I tried to keep it more soulful-looking.
ty for the links, Frodis. I'll definitely check those out.

2nd try: (scanner is a little narrow so I had to do two sides and merge them) I just wish Liam's iris had been about a quarter smaller. New to eyes of course, so I practiced some first:

Need a bit of work, I'm sorry to say. The mouth doesnt look to good either. This. Plus, i dunno if its the angle you took the picture at or what, but think about the actual distance between your nose/mouth/chin. There's not that much distance between Noel's mouth/bottom lip and his chin ;D Cos it looks huuuuge here. The shading at the top of his head needs a lot of work as well. But you're off to a good start. Yeah, I see what you're getting at. The face looks upturned/fat because spacing is way off. What happened with the chin was I wanted to do the whole thing without an eraser and kept trying to keep the chin at the same level as his index finger. Not the best priority in retrospect, lol. I wanted to map out the outline better, but like I said, I was drawing it off a keychain.
