A lot of people rag on the line "Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball", but the meaning I put behind it is that life seems to go slow, and feels boring, until one day you look back and realize just how much time has passed and where you are now, which makes sense in the context of Champagne Supernova. The song, to me, seems to be about looking around at where you are in an amazing time of your life and wondering not just about how you got there, but also about where certain people are that you once knew and wondering where life will take you next & who will be there. Brilliant line. To me it’s about drug induced time diliation. |

I've always liked that line too. Reminds me of My Big Mouth: "I put on my shoes as I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame" Both lyrics conjur up a picture of someone walking down a hallway in slow motion with a huge explosion happening behind them. It also makes me think of someone coming to give you bad news (in a hospital perhaps) and watching them come towards you. They are walking too slow but also way too fast. Incidentally, cannon balls can travel between 100-400 metres per second. |

Even Noel doesn't know what that line means.

Ha, AATW came on my phone just as I passed an AT&T store. Perfect coincidence, innit. That made me smile.

I love this, really well put  I get that feeling often and Oasis songs are great at conjuring up feelings we can't easily place or recognize |

I'm pretty sure it was an interview in Mojo in 2005 but Noel spoke about Champagne Supernova being about reincarnation. Of course, this may be in hindsight or it may be just be meaningless (and it doesn't matter anyways) but I always love how songs mean different things to people. The best songs mean different things at different points in your life. To me, CS is one such song - as are many Oasis songs. |

I was listening to Listen Up and the guitar tone reminded me of The Strokes' 12:51 and that got me thinking that some of you might've been wondering how to get that tone on guitar.
I think you can get quite far by using your neck pickup with tone knob rolled all the way back down. Add some chorus and high gain (without getting too distorted) and that probably gets you somewhere.

I ask: What is the fucking point of having a dvd like Supersonic released on blu-ray?
Release GMEX and Knebworth on blu-ray, you tarts!

Whenever I get into the shower I think: "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIINNNNN, LIKE RAAAAAAIIII-AAAIIIN!!!"
And my new apartment doesn't get direct sunlight, and I think "I don't care for the sunshine."
True story.

Their 1997-2008 period is so underrated. Only a small step below their 1994-1995 output IMO

Soldier On is a good song but it needs a massive epic tune before, similar to how Slide Away precedes Married With Children. Only then does it really make sense, unfortunately most folk simply do not care once the song arrives because of the shitfest preceding it. With that said, could you imagine if Come On Outside had preceded Soldier On? A big, bombastic tune followed by an good and eerie slow burner to close the album would've put the whole apocalyptic theme into perspective. I love Boy With the Blues, but I Believe in All before Falling Down, then To Be Where There's Life and those last two songs would've really built a good apocalyptic narrative. Boy With the Blues is good but I Believe in All sets the tone for what's to come better than BWTB. I certainly do like Come On Outside. Of the slated tunes that were potentially going to appear on DOYS (Record Machine and Stop The Clocks), that was the best one. |

What's even more of a travesty than that song not making it on DOYS is the fact that we don't have a proper studio album version, just that leaked demo, but that leaked demo is very good. If it could've replaced any song, I think it could've replaced High Horse Lady and gone before Falling Down. Come on Outside has a certain apocalyptic tone to it that would've fit with Falling Down. |
