Really honest interview. Interesting what he says about The Masterplan songs. Wished Jim had asked what Oasis songs he was going to play on tour though.

Kind of complimentary to Liam here. Interesting.
And he's right, there's no band out there today like Oasis.

Excellent. The interviewer is much better than the usual hacks.

Good interview, K+.
He mentions there'll be 12-13 songs on the next album (AA). At the press release it was 18, d'you think he just got that wrong, or the tracklist has been been trimmed?
Also, interesting to hear he eventually wants to drop the 'Noel Gallagher' and for HFBs to become a proper band.

"Oasis was one of the great live bands"
Maybe at Wembley or something, but I saw them on the DBTT tour and the only truly transcendental moments were when Noel took the mic. Liam was horrible. Don't get me wrong, DLBIA and all that were absolutely mind-blowing, but "one of the great live bands"...not from my experience.
Great interview, though. Thanks for posting.

As Liam got worse, the band got better.

As Liam got worse, the band got better. Yes, but being a great live band is about far more than playing your instruments well. It's about (at least to me) transcending the moment and truly demonstrating the power of music to everyone present.

It's about (at least to me) transcending the moment and truly demonstrating the power of music to everyone present. I agree - to me, the singer is by far the most important element of the band. It's easy to listen to an average band with a great singer but a great band with a shit singer is nothing.

Well, that's nothing to do with what I said. It's the intangibles that matter most to me in a live setting. For example, The Black Crowes played fine when I saw them and Chris Robinson sounded on-point, but it was boring as fuck. Just not interesting. It didn't connect at all. Bruce and the E Street Band, for example, have something about them--an unspoken energy--that excites everyone in the audience.
Part of it (and Oasis was never a band for this) is you can see how much fun they're having on stage. Even in his sixties Bruce has a vitality to him that's simply infectious. Liam looked (when I saw Oasis) like he'd rather be anywhere else but at that gig. Random people I didn't even know were asking why "the singer's acting like a dick" even though he wasn't berating the audience or spitting or anything. He just has a very cold stage presence.
And it didn't help that he's barely been able to sing live for quite some time.

Haha...Noel bursting out laughing @ the idea of anyone wanting to be him.
Good interview.
He said 7 wouldn't have been on Oasis albums.
RM and STC were 2/3 that would have appeared. I wonder what the other one was that would definitely have been for Oasis.
