His songs remind me of something David Brent would write. I liked those songs. Freelove freeway is a tune tbf |

The videos about Tom Meighan didn't sit right with me at all and some of his theories are batshit but 99% of his videos are harmless, the extremity of some of these reactions is insane *just to add, his video about the rise and fall of Liam's voice (and how he recovered it) is definitely his best one If James had interviewed Serge, rather than Tom, his rhetoric would be that Kasabian never needed Tom and that Serge WAS Kasabian. Fact. |

I doubt if James is that big a snowflake he cares that much about anything said here-he gets lots of postive feedback on his comments section. I had no problem with the Tom Meighan interview.Theres no evidence that Tom is a habitual wife beating monster as some on here have painted him.Maybe they have information none of the rest of us have but the video makes it clear the incident was somewhat misrepresented-as his wife was only too happy to explain.If I believed this was a pattern of behaviour from him I certainly wouldnt be offering these sentiments. And as much as some dont like his music a normal punter gettin a song in the i-tunes charts is a nice little achievement.And to the inevitable chorus of naysayers I would say when was the last time you or your mates band were able to pull it off? Yeah, how dare folk get all sensitive and easily offended about woman beating! Nothing wrong with teaching the lasses a few lessons eh pal?! And seriously, who cares if there isn't evidence he's a habitual woman beater. Once is bad enough. Or is trauma only sustained after multiple attacks? Hargreaves video is damaging to the point that it is desperate attempt to clean up the image of a singer he idolises. If the issue is to be discussed, it's why his girlfriend is on the receiving end of his emotional insecurities, something that has wider relevance in society than desperately trying to save the career of some z-list celebrity. If you have a genuine moral conscience, you tread these issues sensitively and get to what really matters. All he cares about is Meighan. He's framing the issue entirely the wrong way. Spot on. It's actually really alarming anyone would go to them lengths just because he's got a bit of access to Tom now. I happen to know for a fact Tom was a ticking time bomb for years. I even seen him in Leicester myself a few times and some of the things i could tell you are eye opening. I think he really needed better friends around him. He certainly was not this innocent, charming, likeable man he is trying to portray. The band were putting up with his antics for years before they finally said enough is enough. But to in anyway defend what Tom did, like James does in that video, is normalising abuse. That is just not okay. |

At the LG premiere for As It Was I remember following Tom up the stairs and into the toilet, all the while he was singing Bungolow Bill by The Beatles. At the time I remember thinking he seemed pretty deranged and in a bad place.

I think it is all there in the Jamie Hargreaves interview. It looks like there are some pretty big red flags that he is in to the bad drugs. Part of the problem with Jamie is he doesn't pick up on this (or want to) in between the cringy references to 'the Oasis boys'. No one mentions it in the comments either. It is all a bit odd to me.

The october 1997 session from Jame's last video... can't stop thinking about it. Good to know he's trying to give the tape back to Noel, maybe will be released some day.

I'm fascinated by that tape, I'd love to hear the song that turned into Go Let It Out 110%. That b-sides tape from 1997 sounds like a real winner. Makes you wonder why stuff like this wasn’t on the be here now reissue. Guess because the band lost track of those tapes? |

He says there are 3 unheard tracks he doesn't believe he's heard before. Presumably they're demos. We know of a couple of songs that were written by Noel during that time period. In answer to a fan question on the 6th Aug 1997 Noel namechecked 'God Will Never Save Your Soul' as the last he had written. In addition to this Owen Morris first namechecked 'Slow' in the September 1997 edition of Q Magazine. Also an early version of 'Full On' was soundchecked in Dec 1997 (but no doubt the owner of the tape is well aware of that songs release). |

Wish this type of stuff would make it to Noel’s annual record store day release. |

There's clearly a ton of stuff available for an analogy or a more comprehensive release at least. Its just no one is bothered about actually doing one.
This is why I say fuck giving anything back, they're not going to do anything with it anyway

This is why I say fuck giving anything back, they're not going to do anything with it anyway Couldn’t agree more. As we have chronicled over the years, Oasis has loads and loads of unreleased, mostly unheard demos/outtakes that would make for one hell of an inside the band anthology. They are now in a spot with an enough distance from the end of the band and the guys creeping up to age 55-60. Seems like a no brainer but like you said very low interest from anyone inside. Maybe Noel is trying to fix that with his RSD drops? It hurts so much that his 2020 Oasis outtakes project got shelved. He blames Liam. I probably blame Noel. He def has final say. I’m going to be really grumpy when this years RSD release is Pretty Boy (Robert Smith mix) backed by Mind Games. Cool to have sure but I want Oasis deep cuts. |

Agreed although I would say about the planned post-2000 release that it seem to be an extra disc tacked on to a b-sides album. I'd love something more complete. |

“James Hargreaves on: is Liam Gallagher becoming a joke?
I love Liam Gallagher, Oasis is my favourite band and his solo stuff is amazing. Recently though, it seems like he has been becoming a parody of himself.”
I think we should immediately cancel everyone who uses or is associated with anyone who uses the expression: “parody of themself”. You only say that when your brain is too tiny to form an original thought and put that into actual words that have meaning.

I haven't watched the video you're referring to but I've seen it on my youtube page and it genuinely baffles me, how could he possibly be becoming a parody of himself? I'd laugh if James brought Knebworth into it as he seemed pretty enthusiastic about it at the time |
