There's a little bit of a Liam Gallagher in all of us. As yer fucking were x.

He's not fathered THAT many children, surely? 

Yeah... he's not Genghis Khan or anything.

"An international group of geneticists studying Y-chromosome data have found that nearly 8 percent of the men living in the region of the former Mongol empire carry y-chromosomes that are nearly identical. That translates to 0.5 percent of the male population in the world, or roughly 16 million descendants living today."

McGee is releasing music again on his new seven inch vinyl-only label Creation23 and a new film about his iconic record label is in the works.

“I think the producer wants to do open casting [for Liam Gallagher].

"You’ll have all these Liam impersonators coming down to Manchester!"

They should make their Liam casting at the next Gallagher concert!

Or, as Liam once suggested, cast one of his sons!

First time I’ve listened to this, and the first time I’ve heard BOADC live. Fuck me, that guitar solo at the end is beyond phenomenal - it elevates the track to being a cousin of Gas Panic. It’s beyond huge.

This song was a highlight during the HC tour, it's a real shame they never played it again after 2003.

I love the studio version as well but the live version is a killer Word these guitar solos.

But how could you'd never heard it live until October 2018: had you never listened to a complete gig from 2002?!

HC as an album is a real turnoff for me, so I never really sought out many live album tracks from that era (bar the singles, of course).

last of the proper rock and roll bands. amazing.

I'm stunned to learn this is the first time you've heard BOADC live. You picked the right one. Amazing.

Heathen chemistry is a great title, let down by its horrendous cover.
SOTSOG’s cover’s boring af, generic.
DBTT has a mysterious cover, interesting.
DOYS- too confusing, what’s going on? What isn’t going on? Not for me.
WTSMG- boring cover, yet I feel it suits the title, so it’s actually quite good, but still bland. Overall mixed feelings
DM- great cover, can’t fault it
Be here now- peak cover, best of the lot

[Deleted]

Full On just came on.... great little tune.

Solid, proper jam.

Ranking the covers:

2. Be Here Now
3. Dig Out Your Soul
4. Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
5. (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
6. Heathen Chemistry

Real men would rank all the singles sleeves. I'm not a real man so I won't be doing it.

But I would gladly read someone elses take on them.

To be honest, I don't really know the post-2000s ones all that well. From the nineties ones, Wonderwall is my favourite - that was better than the album cover.

this may help you out....

That Roll With it cover is fantastic too. Should have been the cover of a Morning Glory single. In fact, every single cover from 1995-1997 is amazing. I think Roll With it, Wonderwall, and Don't Look Back in Anger ones would have more iconic WTSMG ones than the actual one.

All the post-2000 ones are boring, really.

The fact that Some Might Say is down in #20 is blasphemy given how brilliant the cover is in relation to the lyrics.

I've never liked that cover. It reminds me of the shit village I live in.

Having come from a nowhere small town/village as well, that's a fair point. Mine didn't look like that though 

[World71R]

It's Better People is a nice little acoustic tune. It's no DLBIA but if you're feeling stressed or need a nice pick-me-up, it hits the spot just right. It has some nice sunshine-y, vintage 90s acoustic Oasis vibes to it.

To me it's the song that unfortunately proved that Noel was capable of producing a song that wasn't pure gold.

The first truly throwaway song in the Oasis canon.

A more appropriate train station for many of our rural villages

Was out last night and put Oasis songs on the jukebox in a pub and it's amazing how loud all their 90s tunes are.

It just rings around the pub lol compared to other songs.

Love it. ❤

I love villages so I love that one. Might be my favourite one actually.

Mister Gallagher sold me songs when I was just sixteen....
