Liam looked cool in this era but Noel sounded at his absolute best in the SOTSOG era. This was the time when he really began to be able to sing (listen to him sing at Maine Road or Knebworth and it can be quite painful). However, the way he sings BV's and lead in 2000 is sensational.

Some information about when the band were trying to audition bassists to replace Guigsy in 1999. Ex Monaco man David ‘Pottsy’ Potts was close to joining the band in 1999 as replacement for Guigs. Below are some interesting articles about this time. Believe it or not it appears he even contributed to this forum. This article from the NME dated 26th October 1999 mentions him being close to joining. Not much time before the first gig of the US festival tour starting on 3rd December. www.nme.com/news/music/oasis-1161-1393945This thread has a photo of a page from Peter Hook's 'Inside New Order' which details what happened during Pottsy audition with the band live4ever.proboards.com/thread/85655/remember-david-potts-oasis-bassist?page=1Pottsy contributed to the forum to explain in 2018. “Remember people, there's a certain artistic licence used when writing books, and a lot is (definitely maybe) sensationalized. Most comments on this forum/article below are quite complimentary so thank you. One is downright rude... but there are many presumptuous pillocks in this world. Only the people there at the time know what happened, mainly myself, Noel and Gem. I loved Oasis, still do but to quote Roy Walker... It was good but it wasn't right. As for Wonderwall, it just needed a tweek. 😉 X” live4ever.proboards.com/thread/85655/remember-david-potts-oasis-bassist?page=2Pottsy explains what happened in this interview with the Manchester Evening News in 2013 www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/music/potty-to-blow-oasis-chance-1048809Never seen this before Andy Reid from Manchester band Plastic Gun Alliance was approached by the Oasis camp to replace Guigsy on bass. Reid finally decided to stay with his own band. www.nme.com/news/music/oasis-1176-1394830

Maybe he thought that the job was too big for him.

That would be amazing. I can’t tell you how many times I read that review in high school I guess a month or two before leak/release. Thanks. Thanks a lot in advance, if you can make it happen. Much appreciated. Sorry for the delay in responding, but it took me a few days to go to my mother's house, look for the magazines and scan them... but it's done! Additionally, I have taken the opportunity to scan other magazines from that era that I have found. There is news related to the band, announcements, interviews and SOTSOG reviews. *There are a couple of interviews that came in separate issues of NME and UNCUT magazine, so I have merged them into the same file, as I find it more comfortable to read. Well I hope you enjoy it! www.mediafire.com/file/8itypiagppy075u/Music_Magazines_2000_by_Ajito.zip/fileP.S. Lennon2217 : the track by track review it's the file named "Melody Maker 19.02.2000" P.S.2 "The Fan-ishinquisition" (NME) is really funny. Interesting, that on the Melody Maker's track by track review Noel states that Roll It Over is his favourite song on the album. He clearly loved it at least in that point of his life. Also, the opening gig of the tour in Japan didn't seem to go down too well according to the reviewer, which is quite understandable though, new band members and they were still searching for their sound. Everyone was a bit rusty.

This was shared earlier in this thread.
