Sex Pistols’ Steve Jones On Oasis Reforming
Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones has spoken to NME about the band’s upcoming show at the Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust, as well as Donald Trump’s America, future plans, and a scrapped writing session with Arctic Monkeys‘ Alex Turner.
Below is an extract from the interview read it in full here.
NME: Oasis have long cited the Pistols as a key influence. Are you happy about their reunion?
Steve Jones: “I like Noel and I like Liam. They’ve been on [my radio show] too. They were a lot of fun. I’ve seen Noel a few times when I come back to England. We went to a football game, a Champion’s League final, hanging out. I’m happy for them that they’re gonna make a few quid.”

Andy Bell 'Pinball Wanderer' Limited Magenta Vinyl & Signed Print
Release date: 28 February, 2025
Ride guitarist and songwriter Andy Bell’s third solo album pinball wanderer is an otherworldly collection of intergalactic wizardry that mixes psychedelic melodies, Can-via-The Stone Roses grooves and Arthur Russell-style experimental textures.
With guest appearances from Dot Allison and Neu! legend Michael Rother on a cover of The Passions’ peerless post-punk classic ‘I’m In Love With A German Film Star’, it is perfect for both deep-listening headphones moments and cutting across the coolest, most understated dancefloors.
The loose-limbed rhythm tracks were the starting point and were laid down with the help of Andy’s old Oasis bandmate Gem Archer. The rest followed after an intense all-night session last summer, with the completed album being delivered the following morning. It’s Andy’s finest work to date; a quintessential nighttime record where you can slip through the gaps in the notes and revel in the moment.
Tracklisting:
Panic Attack
I’m In Love…

Oasis
There can never be too many words on Oasis. The Gallagher smash-and-grab raid on British pop culture has divided opinion for decades and simplifies their story into basic cliches. Books that dig deeper and speak to everyone like this open the story up and place you at the heart of the action as their rocket ship took off. - John Robb
The rise of Oasis in the 1990s was stratospheric, yet they remained the people’s band. This is the story about how lives were changed forever, told by those who lived through it.
All around the world, millions felt a connection to these working-class lads from Manchester. With anthemic songs crafted and sung by the greatest songwriter and singer of their generation, from their first interview they proclaimed themselves the best band in the world, and for a shining moment in the mid-1990s they were.
‘Live Forever’. Definitely Maybe. (What's The Story) Morning Glory?. ‘Wonderwall’. Knebworth. A level of success not seen by a British band for 30 years, ushering in a new cultural zeitgeist: Britpop, Cool Britannia, New Labour, and at the centre of it all, the soap opera antics of the warring Gallagher brothers and their bandmates.
Departed members were replaced by fresh faces as the 2000s ushered in their next career phase with Oasis inspiring younger generations. Yet the music and drama continued up to one night in Paris when everything fell apart… until the world stood still in August 2024.
Expanded and revised to include over 25 exclusive new interviews from The Oasis Podcast, including contributions from those involved (Alan McGee, Tony McCarroll, Andy Bell, Steve White, Owen Morris), writers with first-hand coverage (Paolo Hewitt, John Robb), celebrity fans (Ricky Hatton) and many more, this book spans their entire career from 1991 to the present day, making it the ultimate story of Oasis.
