On This Day In Oasis History...

"Lord Don't Slow Me Down" is a song by English rock band Oasis. The song was released as a download-only single on October 21, 2007 in promotion of the release of Oasis' rockumentary of the same name, Lord Don't Slow Me Down. On October 29, the song debuted at number ten in the UK Singles Chart, becoming Oasis' 21st UK top 10. It is also their 21st top ten single in a row. It is also the first single by Oasis not to reach the top 4 since 1994's Cigarettes & Alcohol.

In October 2006 the first part of the song was used in a preview of the band's movie. Written and sung by Noel Gallagher and recorded during the Don't Believe the Truth sessions, Gallagher described it as being "one of the best things, like The Who, The Yardbirds and the Jeff Beck Group combined, and it's got two drum solos on it!" The entire song leaked into the internet just a few days before the video was uploaded on YouTube and the song was played on the radio, on 1 October. The song was a probable track to be included on the band's last album, 2005's Don't Believe the Truth, but was removed from the final track list by Noel Gallagher, as he thought he sang on too many songs on the record. In May 2008 an unreleased studio version with Liam Gallagher on lead vocals was leaked over internet fansites.

This song is included on Dig Out Your Soul bonus CD.

Dannii Minogue Shuns Noel Gallagher's 'X Factor' Feud

Dannii Minogue has insisted that she isn't interested in extending her feud with Noel Gallagher.

The Oasis lyricist last week slammed the X Factor judge, saying that she "wouldn't know talent if it kicked her in the a***".

Minogue suggested to Closer that Gallagher's comments were a publicity stunt.

She said: "I think he's just looking for publicity! I'm hoping he said it as a joke - I hate celebrity feuding!"

Liam Gallagher Joins The Choir

Oasis are often criticised for being as adventurous as a bunch of six-year-olds at the salad bar — so it's surprising to learn that their latest collaborators are a group who have previously grappled with the sounds of Britten, Glass and Stravinsky.

This afternoon, fresh from last night's show at Wembley Arena, the Gallagher brothers will be joined on stage at the venue by 50 members of in-demand choir the Crouch End Festival Chorus. It's their only full rehearsal for a special show at the end of the month, part of the BBC Electric Proms season, that will finally see the band doing the unthinkable and trying something a bit different.

The Electric Proms have nothing in common with the Albert Hall pomp of the real thing, but since 2006 they have hosted some fascinating concerts that encourage rock bands to be a bit more experimental. Oasis were asked if there was another band they would like to work with, or if they would prefer to be joined by a choir.

Perhaps inspired by Crouch End's backing of Kinks star Ray Davies during last year's season, they opted for the choir.

Last week a dozen members met Noel Gallagher and guitarist Gem Archer in the Muswell Hill front room of Steve Markwick, who has been charged with arranging choral parts for six songs in the finale of the gig. They thrashed out ideas for taking old favourites such as Don't Look Back In Anger and The Masterplan to new heights of singalong elation. “Noel seemed really delighted with the beauty and power of the sound,” CEFC musical director David Temple tells me.

Also planned are a couple of compositions by Liam, presumably including his much-praised ballad from the new album, I'm Outta Time. Most excitingly, they'll sing on an overpowering climax of the band's traditional Beatles cover, I Am the Walrus.

“They do this extended cadenza at the end which is mindblowing. We're hoping to do some surreal improvisation in there, lots of different noises, like a collage of dreams,” Temple says. First they suggested throwing in a blast of Handel's Hallelujah chorus at the peak but that was rejected in favour of Beethoven's Ode to Joy.

It sounds like a lot of fun for a choir that has a reputation far weightier than the occasional pop collaboration would suggest. The night before the Oasis show, all 140 members will be singing Bach's Mass in B minor at the Barbican. On 1 March next year, again at the Barbican, they perform a major premiere — The Tension of Opposites by Chicago composer Matthew Ferraro.

CEFC began life in 1984 performing mainly in Hornsey Town Hall and are now known for being game for anything. They'll soon be heard singing on a collection of reworked Kinks classics by Ray Davies, the new album by Welsh opera babe Katherine Jenkins and the soundtrack to a forthcoming comedy horror Britflick, Lesbian Vampire Killers.

But for now, it's the Oasis gig that they're looking forward to. “I love Liam Gallagher's voice,” Temple asserts with passion. “He can hit top As that a classical tenor would die for.”

Soul Brothers

It's a sunny day in north London and over at Oasis HQ, guitarist Gem Archer is talking on the phone to a group of Australian journalists.

“It’s really late over there, and they’d clearly been out. They were trying not to sound drunk,” he says, laughing after the call. “Anyway, come in, man,” he adds, in his unmistakeable accent, part gentle north-east, part hippie.

Gem is excitable today, enthusiastic about Oasis’ new album, Dig Out Your Soul, which they’re back on the road to promote (the band take in the Bournemouth International Centre on Monday and Tuesday.) It’s their seventh studio album, and the third with the involvement of Gem. He and former Ride and Hurricane #1 guitarist Andy Bell joined Oasis around 1999 after the departure of original members Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan.

“I still love it,” beams Gem when asked how he feels about the album. “The cliche is normally that bands can’t wait to get away from their music once it’s recorded, but I nearly listened to it again last night.

“In the past, if you’d been out with Liam (Gallagher) at night and you ended up back at his house after the pub had shut, he’d play you the new album 15 times, but this time around, you might get it 30 times. That says it all!”

Dig Out Your Soul was recorded in Abbey Road studios, the spiritual home of The Beatles and unsurprisingly, given their track record for homage to the Fab Four, Oasis’ latest offering comes with no short supply of Beatles references. There’s even a snippet of an interview with John Lennon used in the Liam-penned track I’m Outta Time.

As always, the bulk of the songs on the album were written by Gallagher Snr, Noel, with Liam adding three songs. The new boys – Gem and Andy – supply one apiece, To Be Where There’s Life and The Nature Of Reality, respectively.

“To Be Where There’s Life started as a jam in my house with my son,” explains Gem. “He’s only 12, but he’s a top drummer, already in his second band.

“I had the demo, which was just an instrumental at the time, and played it to the lads. Noel asked if I’d got any lyrics. I hadn’t, so then I had to stay in and write some.”

Considering Noel has written such widely loved songs as Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger, Live Forever and Cigarettes And Alcohol, competing with him for space on a new Oasis album can’t be easy.

Gem says he thrives on the competition and thinks it’s healthy for the band.

“I kind of relish the challenge,” he admits. “The very fact Noel is even asking what songs I’ve got is incredible, even though he’s the guy who wrote three songs just while we were in Abbey Road. That’s a bit galling, but come on, it’s Noel. Everyone can fluke one good song, but he’s written a lot of very, very good songs.”

Noel has continued that trend this time around, too. Kicking off with Bag It Up, Dig Out Your Soul starts with a Stone Roses-esque groove, before Liam’s sneering vocal chimes in, leaving you in no doubt who you’re listening to. Among the album’s many highlights is Falling Down, incidentally Gem’s current favourite.

“That song was one of the ones Noel demoed by himself in Abbey Road, the night before we recorded it properly,” explains Gem.

“It was totally fresh when we did it because we’d not recorded it over and over making demos.

“Not only is it one of the best songs he’s written, but the production of it is mega. If we’d recorded demos of that song, we would have spoiled it.”

That formula – of capturing fresh takes of each song – worked across the album. The version of a song you hear on a finished album could be the 10th, 15th or 20th take, and while the method might ensure a refined, polished sound, often a lot of the life from earlier takes is lost.

This time around, the band wanted to avoid that happening and, as a result, Dig Out Your Soul is their most live-sounding album since 1995’s (What’s The Story?) Morning Glory.

Away from music, the band are in fine spirits too, leaner and healthier-looking than ever before. In recent interviews, Liam, once the bad boy of Britpop, has been telling of his new-found love for cooking salmon, jogging and getting an early night.

Gem too says the whole band are “into their fitness” but is keen to point out “We’re not like Sting or anything.

“I was one of those guys who could eat rubbish all day long and didn’t know what hangovers were,” he begins. “I don’t want to be 50 and doubled up. We’ve got a responsibility to keep it together, and it’s not even for the thousands of people coming to see us.

“If we’re going to put ourselves in line with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and The Kinks and The Who, Led Zeppelin – the pantheon of great British rock and roll – then you can’t let the side down.

“We’re thinking ahead here,” he adds.

“Liam invented Stillism – there’s no jogging around on stage like Mick Jagger in this band – so we could be doing that until we’re 90.”

With that, Noel walks in. He’s been absent from today’s interview because of the recent incident in Toronto, Canada, when he was attacked and pushed over on stage, breaking three ribs.

He’s walking with obvious discomfort still, but says he hopes to be healed enough for the forthcoming UK tour dates to go by painlessly. Gem, too, can’t wait to get back on the road.

“I’m looking forward to Liverpool so much,” he beams.

“There’s something about the city that’s been ingrained in me from being a childhood Beatles fan. The architecture, the street signs, everything.

“I love playing live full stop, but we’re playing in Britain, indoors to the perfect number of people for it to still be intimate. It’s going to be insane.”

The Enemy: Oasis Support Is Dream Come True

Coventry heroes The Enemy have been confirmed to support Oasis during their UK stadium tour next summer, along with Kasabian.

"Prepare yourself for the greatest rock and roll show in the world. Proper!"

Drummer Liam Watts added: "Something I've always wanted to happen has just become a reality. Buzzing!"

Oasis' Noel Gallagher, A Modern Role Model

Being sensible, cultured types, you have better things to do with your Saturday night. But recently I was listening to Russell Brand's show on Radio 2. And suddenly, breaking through the seamless verbal solipsism of the host, a sharp, clear, witty voice emerged. It was someone talking sense with humour. I recognised the Mancunian twang, but couldn't initially place it. Then, roughly about the time Brand called him by his Christian name, it came to me: it was Noel Gallagher.

The founder and driving force of Oasis has developed into a shrewd commentator on subjects as diverse as the credit crunch, English football and the absurd condition of Brand's hair. So quick-witted was he that I thought, as I listened, what a fine contributor he would be to Question Time. But it is about his own output that he sounded particularly - and unusually - self-aware. Gallagher is a man who appears to have come to terms with his own limitations.

In 1994, Definitely Maybe, his first record with Oasis, promised huge things. Exciting, passionate, raw, it was stuffed with memorable tunes. Back then Gallagher, chippy about the long dark evening that preceded his success, seemed conditioned to blow his own trumpet. He was almost Brand-like in his self-esteem. His most frequent boast was to encourage comparison with the Beatles. Mind, he wasn't the only one who believed he might have a thesis: to many, his group appeared to have the capacity to develop creatively as their mentors had.


An Oasis of stability in these troubled times
Fourteen years on, Oasis's new album Dig Out Your Soul has just been released. It is a record that suggests they have moved about as far as a car left overnight outside the Gallaghers' family home in Burnage, south Manchester, its wheels removed by hospitable locals. While in seven short, hectic years the Beatles grew from Please Please Me to Let It Be, Oasis have been stuck for twice that time in neutral. Their latest is a record about as cutting-edge as Jeremy Clarkson's wardrobe.

But here's the important thing: it doesn't appear to affect Oasis's record sales. This latest album, already shipping out huge numbers, promises to match the sales of everything they have done since their debut. And Gallagher - smilingly cheerful about his continued financial, if not cultural, relevance - admits he has accepted his role in life. Since his album titles tend to reach for aphorism, his next might be best called "If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It".

Yet when it comes to remaining precisely where you are, even Gallagher is a novice compared to AC/DC, a group formed in Sydney in 1973. In their early days, the band's unique selling proposition was that Angus Young, their lead guitarist, dressed like a prep-school boy, in blazer, tie, cap and corduroy shorts, his socks gathered round his ankles. Given that he was 17, it was a nicely ironic comment on rock and roll rebellion.

Thirty-five years on, the Aussies have launched their latest work, Black Ice. Apparently sealed in aspic, it is a shameless revisiting of their finest moment - 1980's Back in Black - with the notes arranged in marginally different order. The deal is that in two-and-a-half decades, nothing whatsoever has changed, including Young's stage attire. With his leathery complexion and thinning scraggle of hair, the be-shorted 52-year-old now has the unsettling appearance of Jimmy Clitheroe in his latter days. But this is seemingly of no worry to the band's widening army of fans. The probability is that the only act who can prevent AC/DC from having the number one bestseller in the pre-Christmas rush is Gallagher's Oasis.

A riposte to those self-styled pioneers such as Madonna who strive to remain at the forefront of innovation, the two static caravans of musical progress continue to sell by the lorry-load. Their success is a vivid demonstration of this central economic truth: in hard times, we fall back on the familiar. But it has wider implications for those who wish to steer us through the turmoil ahead: if you have a winning formula, don't let it go in vain pursuit of something - anything - new. At this point of the cycle, we are all anxious to keep hold of what we know. Gallagher's is a lesson that anyone engaged in business, education, the media and above all politics would be well advised to heed.

Oasis: Lord Don't Slow Me Down (Blu-ray)

RRP: £24.99

Review

What happens when a film maker follows one of the world's biggest bands on a year long world tour? What happens when the film maker is granted unique access to that band, is present for the ups and downs, the moments of greatness and the periods of the same interview in 10 different languages in as many days? What happens when that band is Oasis, travelling across 26 countries on their biggest world tour to date playing to a total of over 2 million people?

The answer is Lord Don't Slow Me Down, a Blu-Ray set that not only gives you the definitive feature length documentary seen in selected cinemas last year, but also the option of voice over commentaries from the band, a Noel Gallagher Q & A session with fans from New York City and out takes from the film.

Directed by Baillie Walsh who has previously worked with Massive Attack (he made 'Safe From Harm'), Spiritualised, New Order and Kylie's Slow, and is now working on a film with Daniel Craig, this Blu-Ray is a compendium of Oasis entertainment par excellence.

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.

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.

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."
