You’re stranded for an eternity on a desert island, with only one of either Noel or Liam Gallagher. Which Gallagher brother do you choose, and why? Depends on whether I can have a gun on not? If so then Noel, as I'd get the truth out of him!

Based on what they've said respectively about lockdown, I'd go with Liam. Sounds like Noel gets kind of miserable without plenty of varied social interaction.

Noel is tempting though… he’s a great story teller on his day, has excellent insight and his dry humor is always on point. I never get tired of hearing his continual waffle. But yeah, miserable Noel is a miserable Noel.

So someone on reddit apparently posted Rock 'n' Roll Star via Liams ear monitor from the Madrid show in 2009.

Andy Bell talking about Oasis, Noel's songwriting and guitar playing and Liam in this recent interview from Italy: As an Oasis fan, how did you react when you were called to be the bassist of the Gallagher brothers’ band?
Man, I mean, I think it was like when Ronnie Wood joined the Rolling Stones, like joining your heroes.
I think it was like a dream for you…
Yes. These guys are still my heroes, I mean, musically, I love Oasis. From the first time I listened to them, I fell in love with their music.
Getting us into the band was a privilege. Because Gem and I became close friends because we both always had that love for Oasis and we know what that generation meant to us and we loved being able to help them carry on when they were in trouble, you know, they never really were. in trouble, but it’s like they got to the point of saying, “shit, we lost two guys, we have to rebuild the band”.
They brought us in and we played in really huge concerts, it was really a privilege to be a part of it.
I had a small role, as a bass player, but that is not very important. I poured all my love for Oasis into the way of playing the bass, I squeezed a lot of love into that way of playing that instrument.
Do you agree with me that Noel is rightfully considered one of the best living songwriters but as a guitarist he is a bit underrated?
First of all, the songwriting thing. Yes, he is one of the greats, like Burt Bacharach. For a few years he was unbeatable and he could just do it like this, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang like they were just simple songs. And as a guitarist, you know, I took a lot from that guy, when I heard him play I felt like, I mean, the thing is, it all come from his character. It’s like with any really legendary great world class guitar player, singers too. Everything comes from the character of the person. You feel like you’re getting a direct line to the person. Strength, kind of consistency, accuracy, inventiveness or something I think those are some elements of his guitar playing. When I heard him playing for the first time, I could tell the influences because they’re obvious. It’s Nick McCabe, it’s John Squire, Johnny Marr. And then you kind of go back to the greats, the Beatles and stuff like that. But it’s not to denigrate him. I don’t care if people know where my influences are because I wear them on my sleeve, I’m very transparent, like this is what I’m into. It doesn’t matter if you hear my influences because I add something to it as well. So no one was able to take the sound of Nick McCabe, John Squire, both genius guitar players, no one made that style into something really, I don’t know, like the solos, it forever like takes something that is in the air and makes it like into the ground, it’s like taking something ephemeral and makes it solid and permanent, if you know what I mean.
It feels weird talking about Noel without talking about Liam.
Liam is just as equal on his own terms, in his own way, in his own style. So that’s the great thing about the two of them because they are equals. Yeah. You can’t have Oasis without Liam. You can’t have those songs, those songs are great. And we’ve already said they’re world class, lifetime amazing songs. But having Liam as the one who delivers those songs is like something extra.link to the full interview: www.tuttorock.com/interviste/andy-bell-intervista-allo-storico-bassista-degli-oasis-e-chitarrista-dei-ride/

Interesting to read that he doesn't think that he'll be in an Oasis reunion if it ever happened.

I can't believe because they showed some footage from GMEX of Bear opening the phonebooth door that everyone is thinking GMEX release. That's ridiculous. I can't believe that some people that that because they showed footage from a certain gig in a small video that means we might get that particular gig. Don't worry, I'm still clutching at straws.

Songs off (What's the Story) Morning Glory? have now been streamed more than 3 billion times on Spotify. Wonderwall is responsible for half of that number.

Live Forever turns 28 today. Credited as Oasis’ best song, and stands amongst artists of the very best.
Easily the best, spine tingling performance. Happy Birthday… Live Forever x.

Yeah, it doesn't seem that long at all 28 years and it'll soon be 28 years since Definitely Maybe was released. As for Live Forever it's always been my favourite Oasis single release.

I still have the tapes of those Radio One broadcasts some where. But I haven't listened to them in years as there's no point really as it's so easy to listen on YouTube now and of course they've been officially released now anyway. However, I would never get rid of those original cassette recordings though.

It's 27 years ago today since Oasis released their Roll With It single. 27 years already. I've always liked the artwork for it for some reason.
