Fans' Ultimate Oasis Setlist Revealed

Noel Gallagher isn't going to like your top choice

Oasis fans have declared 'Live Forever' is the song they most want to see in the band's setlist – during the very tour that's seen the Gallaghers drop the song for the first time.

NME.COM users were asked to nominate their ultimate Oasis setlist on our blog and after adding up all of the individual submissions, the band's 1994 single has come out as the song fans most want to see live.

The ultimate Oasis setlist (in order of popularity) was:

'Live Forever'
'Rock 'N' Roll Star'
'Champagne Supernova'
'Morning Glory'
'Acquiesce'
'Wonderwall'
'Don't Look Back in Anger'
'Cigarettes And Alcohol'
'Slide Away'
'The Shock Of The Lightning'
'The Masterplan'
'Whatever'

Ironically 'Live Forver''s win comes just as the song has been demoted from the band's setlist on the current UK tour, though with Noel Gallagher announcing a series of stadium summer shows there is a chance it will be back for their 2009 jaunt.

What do you think of the fans' ultimate Oasis setlist?

Liam Gallagher 'We Are The Best Band In Britain, Without A Doubt'

Whether or not they are the biggest band in the world, Oasis are truly one of the music industry's supergroups, combining the swagger and grit of the Sex Pistols with the classic pop sounds of the Beatles. The English rock band have just released their seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, which debuted at the top of the United Kingdom charts. It also opened at No5 in the United States, their best position in that country in more than a decade. The band has since announced a massive tour for next summer. Emirates Business caught up with frontman Liam Gallagher to talk about the new album and the band's turbulent journey to the top.

You've been around for 17 years...

I don't want to be on Oprah Winfrey if that's what you are asking (laughs).

What does it feel like to have been around so long?

No, it doesn't feel like 17 years actually. It feels like about 50. Listen, it feels good to be in Oasis, man.

Let's talk about your new album, Dig out Your Soul. What does it mean for you after all those years?

—It means the same thing that it meant the first time. It's a buzz to be making Oasis music. I didn't force people to buy Definitely Maybe or (What's The Story) Morning Glory and I won't force them to buy this. If they like it, buy it, if they don't, I'm not interested.

How do you think the new album will stand the test of time?

I think it's a great and different record. We are a different band now and I'm the first to admit it. Who is to say – I mean bandwise – we are better? But our first three albums defined an era. But I like where we are now. I like all our albums.

What does the album title mean?

I don't know. It's just an album title. There's no real big meaning behind it.

Is Oasis more like a band these days than it was back in the 90s?

Yes. This is the best band there has been.

You sold 180,000 tickets within one hour in the UK. Are you happy?

Without a doubt. It's good times for Oasis man, good times.

Would you say it's the best time?

It's not all about success no more, you know what I mean? With Andy and Gem in the band, we are writing some serious, proper music – and that's good. We are a great band and we are living life a little bit differently these days – mentally, physically and musically.

When you look at all the figures it seems like Definitely Maybe has been your best album so far.

Well, I'm not here to argue with the public. If that's what they feel, that's what they feel. Basically it was a good record.

After your upcoming world tour, are there plans for another live album?

No, no plans to make any more. We are going to do this tour and see how it goes. I would like to make a new record pretty soon. As soon as we have finished the tour I would like to go back into Abbey Road [studios] and bang out some more music. And we've got plenty of songs. So a new Oasis record may come pretty soon.

There's always talk about Noel going solo. What is your comment on that?

Good luck to him. I hope he gives it away for free because I won't be buying it.

What about your songwriting? You seem comfortable doing your own songs – there are three on this album.

I have a guitar at home and when there is nothing on the TV, I pick up my guitar, see what's happening; and if nothing happens, I put it down. I am a singer first. I get my kicks from singing, more than from sitting around trying to solve the world's problems or writing songs.

Do you and Noel compete on the songwriting front?

No. He's better. He's the best songwriter of his decade, man. He's the best.

How close were Oasis to splitting up back in 2000?

Well, not in my mind. We were close. There was never no splitting up. You kind of split up actually, when three members leave out of your line-up, right?

What's your relationship with Noel like these days?

Beautiful. Beautiful. It's all right man, same as it always was – you know what I mean. It's a bit over-hyped actually.

Would you say the Beatles are still the biggest influence for you?

Yes, for me, without a doubt.

Queen are reforming now with Paul Rodgers. What do you think?

I'm not into Queen, so I don't care.

What do you think is the reason Oasis has never broken America?

Because of our attitudes. We are miserable. I don't know why we didn't make it. They obviously don't like us, yet we sold out Madison Square Garden [New York] in a minute... They obviously like other people instead but America is not the be all and end all for Oasis. America is a country in a big world so if they don't like us, somewhere else they will.

What's the hype going on in the UK that Oasis is the biggest band?

That's not hype mate, that's fact. We are not about to sell our English tour in a minute, we have done so. It's a fact.

So what about Coldplay? Chris Martin said that compared to Oasis, they were the biggest.

I don't care about them. We are the coolest band and we are the best band. We are not the biggest band in America but who would want to be that?

I guess you've made quite a fortune?

Yes. But I've spent it all mate... I've spent it on fish.

PROFILE: Liam Gallagher, Singer

The 36-year-old Oasis frontman was born William John Paul Gallagher. He formed the infamous rock band with three friends in Manchester in 1991. They were soon joined by his older brother Noel. The band, which became famous performing on the Manchester club circuit, have since gone on to sell more than 50 million records worldwide. Their debut album, Definitely Maybe, was once the fastest-selling debut in the UK, and their second, (What's The Story) Morning Glory, sold more than 20 million copies. Noel and Liam are the band's top songwriters and comprise its core, with several members – including Liam at one point – having quit over the course of their 17-year history. The present line-up includes guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell, as well as Chris Sharrock on drums. Oasis' status as the UK's top supergroup was confirmed when all 180,000 tickets for their English arena tour were sold out in an hour.

Liam, who is lead vocalist for the group, is currently married to Nicole Appleton and has two sons.

Oasis Gig Is A Family Affair

Oasis' gig at Wembley Arena on Thursday was a family affair with Liam Gallagher dedicating, er, Cigarettes And Alcohol, to sons Gene and Lennon. He's got some gall!

The lads were in the wings with Noel's daughter Anais, eight, who didn't believe he had written Wonderwall after an X Factor contestant attributed it to Ryan Adams.

Noel told us: "I had to assure my little girl that daddy did actually write the song."

Tickets for their 2009 tour with Kasabian and The Enemy go on sale next Friday at Oasisnet.com.

New Oasis Tour: No Date Yet For Eden

There's still no confirmation of when Oasis will play their postponed gig at the Eden Project.

The Eden Project and the management of Oasis are still in discussion over a new date to replace the September 27 concert that had to be cancelled due to the injury to Noel Gallagher, sustained when he was assaulted on-stage in Canada.

Despite the band announcing a new string of tour dates - in Manchester, Sunderland, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Dublin and Wembley Stadium - there was no mention for the Eden Project.

Here's the statement made by Eden as Oasis announce a string of stadium gigs in June of next year.

"We had hoped to make an announcement by now but confirming a suitable date that fits in with the band’s busy touring schedule and the calendar of events at Eden has taken longer than anticipated.

"We undertand that ticket holders are very eager to know and we would like to assure them that we will inform them as soon as there is any news on a rescheduled date.

"In the meantime, any ticket holder who would like a refund can contact Oasis Customer Services on 0844 567 0677."

New Bonehead Interview

Hello Bonehead. Everyone in the world knows what was in your front room 15 years ago. What's in your front room now?

"Well i've still got the stained glass from the "Definitely Maybe' sleeve (below), I've got a log fire going now but the actual fireplace is the same one."

They are Items of historical importance.

"It means you can never forget."

You decorated and plastered the "Definitely Maybe" front room your, do you still do that in your new home?

"Yes. Maybe I've got too much time in my hands - but in the new house i did it all over again. I got a wheelbarrow and a lumb hammer and just went mental on it, almost killed myself."

So if i wanted you to get you in to plaster the office where i work, how much would you charge?

"I'd definitely be up for it. When Noel briefly left the band, fucking years ago when we were in LA, I remember talking to Guigsy going,"fucking hell it could all be over." And he said, "Do you think you can stil Artex a ceiling?" I said, "fucking piece of piss." So he had this plan that we both bought a van Guigs & Bonehads Plastering. We reckoned we couldhave got a grand a ceiling!"

You've got a tour kicking off on Halloween. SPOOKY.

"Yeah it's an acoustic tour, it's me and Pete McCloud, two acoustic guitars and he's singing and I'm going to be DJing at some aftershows."

Why is it acoustic? Are you carrying you own equipment?

"No, Pete's a friend of Alan McGee's and he's sort of relocated to LA. I listened to some tracks and we agreed to do a couple of dates together, then that turned into us playing all over the place"

Oasis are still stumbling along, then.

"Oh, they'll go on untill they drop."

I'm quite impressed by the huge change of direction on the new album.

"I think it's brilliant. I think they've hit the spot again. I don't know about new direction but there's lots of shades of "Definitely Maybe" in there."

I was sort of taking the piss when i was talking about the new direction. This is very much an Oasis album.

"Well, yes. They're never going to go hip-hop are they? Well, they might. But i'm really enjoying the album."

So you listen to their stuff and wish you were still in the band to play it?

"It's a long time ago - It's 10 years since I was in the band. But they're out on tour now and i do think, "I'd love to have played on that." You always have those "what if" moments, but i don't have any regrets. I feel like i'm free to do whatever I want to do now."

"Whatever you choose..."

"And now I can have a great night playing with a band, or DJing, or doingthis acoustic tour."

What do you play when you're DJing?

"I jut play good music. Some people go "Oh, Arctic Monkeys, you can't touch that" and I'm like "why not? IT's what the kids want the hear and I quite like it. I did one gig where I was DJing off my iPod and it had all my kid's music on it and I hit the wrong song and "The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe" came on. Two and a half minutes into it they were all raving! Top!"

Where do you stand on hats?

"Well, I'm just getting fitted for a new wig at the moment so I won't need to.. I'm joking. No I don't really wear hats.

Why not?

"I'm just not a hat man. I don't know. I have got a hat. I'm just not a hat person"

Are you going out tonight?

"Yes, I'm going to see a gig with McGee."

Wear a hat.

"I might."

Noel Gallagher: We're Playing Eight Glastonburys

Noel Gallagher reckons Glastonbury chief Michael Eavis will be “s****** himself” after Oasis announced their biggest arena tour yet.

The Manc rockers will play eight mammoth gigs next summer – and Kasabian and The Enemy will also be on the bill.

By the end of July 12 next year the band – Noel, Liam, Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Chris Shanrock – will have entertained more than a million ale-soaked punters on their epic 18-month world tour.

And the eight gigs will certainly be vying with Glastonbury for ticket buyers’ hard-earned cash.

Announcing the gigs at Wembley, Noel said: “Michael Eavis will be s******* himself when he sees this.

“I thought Knebworth was as big as it could get, but this takes it on.

“Wembley is a great British venue and it is going to be great playing here. I think they will easily be next year’s best gigs, if not the decade. I am really made up with the bill, what a night out. I am just glad I’ll be able to get tickets.

“This is what it’s all about, the gigs that go down in the memory, where people meet their future wives. Liam is s******* himself.”

Oasis start the tour at Heaton Park, Manchester, on June 6 next year. Noel said: “The last person to play Heaton Hall was The Pope in 1982. I supported him back then. I was doing stand up but the religious gags didn’t go down too well.”

Noel added: “Kasabian toured with us in the States a couple of years ago. We always said when we were doing the big super-gigs again we would give them first option.

“I liked The Enemy from the moment I heard their first single. With the three bands on in one night, if I was 16 or 17, I would want to be there.”

Roll on next summer . . .
