Bono has said that Noel Gallagher is “shocked” at how good Oasis are sounding ahead of their Oasis Live '25 gigs.
The sold out tour starts in Cardiff on July 4th.
Speaking to Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, and said how he thinks both Liam and Noel had an unmistakable impact on the indie music scene.
“I love them. I just love them. And what I really love is, the preciousness that had gotten [into] indie music, they just blew it out. There was just the swagger, and the sound of getting out of the ghetto, not glamorising it.”
He added “They’re both funny. I’m still very close with Noel, and he sent a message to me saying he’s kind of shocked by how great the band is [sounding at rehearsals]. I think we’re going to have a good summer.”
“I remember what they did. Those big guitars, big Neil Young [inspired], generous sounds – they were against the law in the UK. But they were like ‘No, I’ll do what I want’. They had this rhythmic, beautiful quality to them… and Manchester was very influenced by dance music, so they were groovier than anybody, they were rawer than anybody.”
