Song Of The Year 1995: Oasis Wonderwall

The year belonged to Oasis. Their supposed arch rivals, Blur, might have won the set-piece Britpop skirmish, beating Roll with It to No 1 with Country House, but their fourth album, The Great Escape, was at the time considered a lacklustre follow-up to Parklife. Oasis, on the other hand, were on fire. (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? bristled with hooks and hit singles. Some Might Say, Roll with It and Don’t Look Back in Anger all made the Top 10, but it was Wonderwall, the third single from the album, that came to epitomise the band’s creative peak, their obsession with the Beatles (the song title comes from a George Harrison album, while Liam’s vocal is pure Lennon) and the extraordinary critical and commercial glory they enjoyed during the 12-month period from August 1995 to their two sold-out shows at Knebworth the following summer.

No song intro can conjure up 1995 as instantly and devastatingly as the opening chords of Wonderwall. With the simplest of acoustic-guitar figures, Noel Gallagher strummed his way into our memory banks, as the drum beat shuffled and Liam slurred and sneered through the opening verse: “Today is gonna be the day that they’re gonna throw it back to you.” Lyrically, it is one of Noel’s best, with none of his clunky versifying. Indeed, the line “I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now” is, in its directness and economy, a key part of the song’s success. Wonderwall was assumed to have been inspired by Noel’s bride-to-be, Meg Mathews. In 2002, shortly after the couple’s divorce, the guitarist fessed up, saying: “How do you tell your Mrs it’s not about her once she’s read it is? It’s a song about an imaginary friend who’s gonna come and save you from yourself.”

Notable cover versions have included the Mike Flowers Pops interpretation, which reached the same position (No 2) as the original. Oasis were kept off the top spot in Britain by Robson and Jerome. In America, Wonderwall remains their biggest hit. With exquisite timing, shortly before fans start weighing the band’s new album, Dig Your Own Soul (released on October 6), against hits like Wonderwall, Liam has said that he isn’t terribly partial to the track: “I can’t f***ing stand that f***ing song. Every time I have to sing it, I want to gag. Problem is, it was a big, big tune for us. You go to America and they’re like, ‘Are you Mr Wonderwall?’ You want to chin someone.” Bless.

Oasis: Québec Concert Review

There were no fistfights, and very little foul language. Seminal Britpop act Oasis played the Bell Centre Friday night, and the notorious Gallagher brothers kept it clean. Heck, they even seemed sober.

The 8,500 fans were on their feet from the guitar intro of opener Rock 'n' Roll Star – the perfect song to start a show by a band that has always been as much about infectious hits as the escapades of the iconic duo at its core.

Liam Gallagher stood centre-stage in his trademark pose, leaning into the microphone, one hand behind his back. His brother Noel was on guitar. Together they got down to business, delivering an array of favourites, mostly from their '90s heyday. They slipped in a few new ones along the way, unveiling the psychedelic tones of new album Dig Out Your Soul, due Oct. 6.

Lyla was rowdy and insistent; Cigarettes & Alcohol had hip-shaking riffs; The Masterplan proved a crowd-pleaser; Morning Glory elicited a boisterous singalong; and the Importance of Being Idle (sung by Noel) was good fun.

But there was no match for THE song. It came two before the encore, and Liam announced it unceremoniously, mumbling "Wonderwall," out of the corner of his mouth. It is the band's best-known track, a wistful, irresistible ballad. Everyone in the arena joined in, with joyful abandon, Liam's whine leading the way. Cheers erupted as the group broke into the instrumental coda.

They weren't done. The last song before the encore, Supersonic carried anthemic weight of its own. Don't Look Back in Anger (again by Noel) and Champagne Supernova brought out lighters and more big singalongs; while the night-ending cover of I Am the Walrus sealed the deal.

Oasis may not be as dangerous, exciting or as popular as it once was, but the band can still engender an impressive amount of good will.

Ryan Adams warmed up the room, ranging from bluesy spirituals to expansive rockscapes and heartland ballads with the help of his band the Cardinals. Matt Costa opened the evening.

Liam Gallagher Is Addicted To Fish

Liam Gallagher is addicted to fish.

The Oasis frontman is obsessed with the health benefits of eating fish and admits salmon is his favourite sea treat.

Liam - who refers to himself as the 'Salmon King' when he goes out around his home in Henley, Oxon - said: "I'm always banging away at the fish man. I used to really dig sardines, but now I'm on the salmon. The royalty cheques have started rolling in again. I'm on the salmon big time. My top three fish are salmon at number one, sea bass at two and sardines are third."

The 35-year-old rocker also insists he is a dab hand in the kitchen and has an amazing recipe for salmon with an oriental twist.

He said: "My number one dish is f***ing salmon and stir-fry. You need to pre-heat your oven for 10 minutes. F***ing loads of soy sauce. Get your salmon wrapped up in some tin foil with a fold in the end. Stick it in the oven for 15 minutes. Take it out, bit of stir-fry, loads more soy sauce. F***ing top dish, no mess, sweet!"

We’ve given you the chance to spend the weekend at Reading Festival, and to see Madonna and Lee Evans live, but now it’s time for something even bigger and better....We have two tickets for one of the most highly anticipated gigs of this year: Oasis at Wembley Arena on the 16th October, 2008.

Oasis soared into the public eye in the early 90s when brothers Liam and Noel reigned superior over the Brit Pop scene. The band whipped up a frenzy of hype around their music and basked in their rivalry with fellow Brit Poppers, Blur. Almost eighteen years down the line, Oasis still manages to cause a huge fuss amongst music fans. They haven’t performed in the UK for years which guarantees an electric atmosphere and a myriad of memorable moments. Just try not to sing along; we dare you.

Tickets for the Wembley gigs sold out within minutes. If you missed out, these tickets are worth more than their own weight in sentimental gold. To enter our competition for the chance to catch one the best bands of the 90s, click here to enter the competion

Liam Gallagher's 'I'm Outta Time' Is An Epic Track

Liam Gallagher’s tribute to his idol John Lennon is being hailed as brilliant by everyone who has heard it — even by his usually critical brother Noel.

And no wonder I’m Outta Time is so good — the Oasis frontman has spent almost a decade on it.

Liam revealed: “That took me f*****g nine years to write. I only finished it last week.”

Oasis are on the road across the Pond, with the tour taking them to Toronto tomorrow for the Canadian leg of the V Festival — which also has Stereophonics and Paul Weller.

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Latest entry from Noel Gallagher's blog on www.oasisinet.com

Ryan Adams has described the light show as looking like ELO with fangs! I’m not sure what it means, but I like it. Does anyone listen to the Russell Brand show? I only ask because some people in the crowd have been singing that little jingle he plays before I appear on his show (you know the one). It’s become fairly amusing for me and confusing for everyone else. Keep it up, I like it.

We’re getting a flight to Montreal today. It’s too far to drive! 20-odd hours apparently. Meet ANOTHER married couple at the airport.

“Can we get a quick picture?”
“No.”
“Oh, please. We’re your biggest fans but missed your show last night because of the wedding.”
“Definitely no chance. That’s just rude. You could’ve got married any day of the week, but we won’t be playing Winnipeg again, so do one.”

The flight is 2 and a bit hours long. Just enough time to watch that film that Martin Scorsese made about them Rolling Stones. If you haven’t seen it, you should check it out. It’s fuckin’ ludicrous.

Q Magazine is out in the UK, I believe. I hope whatever’s been said comes across alright. Although it’s inconceivable that some fucker won’t take offence to something. I apologise now if that IS the case.

Montreal is a strange place. Everything is French: menus, street signs, shop signs, tv channels.

Got a day off tomorrow but we’re doing a photo shoot. Now, you may not know this but I fuckin’ HATE having my photo taken. It’s mind-numbingly boring. I’d much rather be working properly. I like doing interviews and playing, see? Off for a Chinese with Phil and Steve (Headline Security Ltd) who’s basically a fuckin’ comedian who looks after us. Wonder what’ll be in the fortune cookie tonight! It’ll probably be in French anyway.

Au revoir

Le General

Oasis' Noel Gallagher Praises Liam's Songwriting

Gallagher Sr says he's 'not surprised' at the quality of 'I'm Outta Time'

Oasis' Noel Gallagher has praised brother Liam's songwriting on 'I'm Outta Time', the second single due to be released from the band's forthcoming album 'Dig Out Your Soul'.

Speaking to musicradar, Noel revealed that he always expected 'Im Outta Time' to be brilliant, revealing he has always thought his brother's songs were good, despite him being the band's principle songwriter so far in their career.

"I like Liam's songs, I wasn't surprised [at 'I'm Outta Time''s quality]," he said. "He's [Liam] expected to write great songs, he's in Oasis."

Gallagher has previously told BBC 6Music that the forthcoming single is a "piano-y, John Lennon-y obligatory plodaway song in the middle [of the album].

"It breaks up the two sides which are pretty intense, and it's full-on from the start to finish."

'Dig Out Your Soul' is set to be released on October 6. It will be preceded the first single to be taken from the album, 'The Shock Of The Lightning', on September 29.

Review 'Oasis' In Ottawa

Concert review: Oasis
A production as slick as they come
Lynn Saxberg, The Ottawa Citizen

Between the ferocious playing, massive lighting rig and ear-splitting sound, the members of Oasis mounted an unsurpassed attack on the senses on Thursday, turning their first concert in Ottawa into a momentous occasion in the city's rock 'n' roll history.

Ok, I'm exaggerating a bit, but a concert on this scale would send any music fan over the moon. It was spectacular, with the extra bonus of two decent opening acts: Ryan Adams and the Cardinals and singer-songwriter Matt Costa.

Too bad there were only 7,000 of us in attendance, the low turnout possibly due to the fact the concert took place during the first week of school. In my scan of the crowd, there were scores of young adults, but not many who looked as though they needed to hire a babysitter on a school night. (Barrhaven, you missed a great show.)

Although Oasis has been around for more than a decade and has a devoted fan base in Canada, the one-time British chart-toppers usually only touch down in Toronto, Vancouver and possibly Montreal on their world tours.

But with a new album due for release in October, and a major U.K. tour already sold out, this string of North American dates (most of them in Canada) was put together to make sure the band and its crew are in tip-top form when the new-album madness begins.

The tour started Aug. 26 in Seattle so by Thursday's concert, it was clear that most of the issues have been smoothed out. Except for a couple of minor technical glitches, the production was as slick as they come, scripted according to a setlist drawn up at the beginning of the tour. The band members are playing the same songs in the same order each night, starting with a blistering but straightforward version of Rock 'N' Roll Star and ending with the intense psychedelia of The Beatles' I Am The Walrus.

The unvarying setlist might have been a drag if you were one of the faithful attending more than one show or if you were hoping for a certain tune not on the list, but with about two-thirds of the songs drawn from early discs, it was definitely a crowd-pleasing assortment.

What was remarkable was that band managed to maintain the sense that anything could happen, musically or otherwise. Of course, some of that feeling is due to the well-documented tension within the band, the longstanding rivalry between singer Liam Gallagher and his brother, chief songwriter Noel Gallagher.

However, on stage at Scotiabank Place, the brothers' differences were put aside, and, along with their bandmates, they seemed to focus on one goal:to blow minds.

With all instruments set to stun, the sensory pummeling began with the no-nonsense attack of Rock & Roll and Lyla, guitars blazing and lights strobing. Over the next 100 minutes or so, the band cycled through rapture-inducing hits such as Wonderwall, Morning Glory and Champagne Supernova, and unveiled several new songs from the forthcoming disc, titled Dig Out Your Soul.

Clad in a leather jacket, Liam adopted his bent-knee stance at the microphone as if bracing himself against his own torrential voice of anguish. Against the edge of Liam's nasal-tinged pipes, big bro' Noel sharpened his distinctive electric-guitar licks, demonstrating the base on which Oasis' sound is constructed. In the audience, fans sang along and displayed their love by raising their illuminated cellphones and Blackberrys.

As for the new songs, they seem to hint at a groovy new direction for Oasis. Played early in the concert, the first single The Shock of the Lightning featured a good chunk of psychedelic spaciness, the noodling then continuing in the middle of another new song, To Be Where There's Life, which Liam dedicated to Manchester's football team. The pulsing, trippy vibe surfaced again in the Noel-sung Falling Down, one of the finest of the new batch, and later came to a crashing finale in a fierce set-closing cover of I Am The Walrus.

Sun Readers' Top Acts Revealed

Yesterday I asked you to send me your Top Ten bands of all time after Oasis lord Noel Gallagher posted his definitive list online.

The Beatles, topped his choice and unsurprisingly they also ran away with No1 in the Bizarre readers’ Top Ten as well.

But Noel will be pleased to hear his own band were voted No2.

Queen came third, followed by The Rolling Stones then Led Zeppelin.

The Who took the No6 spot with The Jam and Pink Floyd coming seventh and eighth respectively. Ninth were The Stone Roses and The Beach Boys were No10. Bands to narrowly miss out included T-Rex, The Smiths and Muse.

A special mention for reader Danny Carter, who was so torn over his tenth spot he shared it between two bands — Kula Shaker and The Zutons.

Liam Gallagher Interview

Hi Liam! You're abit older now, so have you given up fighting the paparazzi?

I've calmed down, man. But it depends how close they get to me. If they're in my f***ing space then they're going to get a dig! Sometimes, they come up and take the p*ss and that's when I react.

Do you regret any of the mad stuff you have got up to in the past?

No, I'd do it all the f***ing same, man. Even the bad times were worth it because I'm still alive. I've got f***ing money in the bank, I've got a nice house and my family are f***ing happy. It could be f***ing worse, couldn't it? It's all good. How crazy was it to be in Oasis when you first started? I can't remember much about that whole f***ing thing - I was very drunk a lot of the time. I'd read some things and think, "Did that really happen?" and then I'd see the pictures. It was wild. It was life on the f***ing edge. But we weren't "Guns N' Roses wild" because were a different kind of band. We never fell over drunk because we like our clothes too much. And I've never poured Guinness or Jack Daniels on my head because we're not f***ing Beavis and Butt-head. But we had a good time. Oh yeah, man!

What about drugs? Was there lots of that going on?

Yeah, but none of us ever done f***ing smack and none of us have ever been in the f***ing Priory, like all these little f***ing idiots today. They have one little line and they are all in the Priory.

What do you think of the current music scene?

There's too much of it - its fast food music. You make one f***ing hit and everyone thinks, "Yeah, they're f***ing great". Its like having a McDonald's - by the time you've finished, you feel guilty because it weren't that f***ing good. I'm like, "Where's the Sunday roast?" I like my records played more than once.

Whats the most extravagant thing you've ever bought?

I bought a Bristol, which is one of the last hand-made English cars ever. It's a top car. I've got a nice apartment and a gaff in the country. But apart from that I am not really that bling.

Do you still think Oasis are the biggest and best band ever?

Well, when we said that, that was us just being cocky little b*stards, wasn't it. Maybe we're not the f***ing best ever but we're one of the greatest bands of the last 10 years. I don't see anyone who's set it alight more than us for the last 10 years. We burnt the candles at both ends, had some f***ing sh*t things happen to us, but we got through it. To me, that's what it's all about. Half the stuff that goes down in other bands these days is nothing. They play it too f***ing safe. So, yeah, we're the b*llocks and we remain the b*llocks.

Whats been the highlight of your career so far?

It's got to be the City of Manchester stadium gig, when we played three nights in front of people we went to school with - people who'd rip your f***ing head off if they got you on your own, but who still loved the music. To play in front of your own f***ing crowd, with 60,000 people coming to see you, is pretty special. But getting a record deal was the f***ing most important thing because that allowed us to drive your own car.

What would you be if you weren't a musician?

F**k knows! I did want to be a footballer, but I didn't have the discipline to give up the fags or booze. And I couldn't see the point of making all that money and not being allowed to get off your f***ing head. Apart from that, be God, maybe? That'd be a good job. That's the next highest one, isn't it? Being in Oasis, then f***ing being God!

Well, didn't you once say you wanted to change the world?

I don't think we said we'd change the world, I think we just said we're the best f***ing band in the world. And I don't think we've changed the world, because look at the state it's in! But we have changed our world, changed our lives and changed quite a few other people's f***ing lives, too. Even to this day, there are loads of people out there that come up and say, "You changed my f***ing life." That's nice, man. I'm happy with that.
