Oasis 'Time Flies . . . 1994-2009' Review

Time Flies . . . 1994-2009

Big Brother ****

No nonsense. It’s all the singles from 1994’s Supersonic to last year’s rather underwhelming Falling Down . Oddly, they’re not in chronological order, as compiler Noel Gallagher, wanted this double album to “feel like a gig – a very long one”. But part of the appeal of this end-of-career compilation was supposed to be tracing the band as they went from leery lager louts to rock star cocaine heads to mature Britpop survivors.

Yes, Oasis were derivative; no, they weren’t The Aphex Twin, but once you let go of whatever reflexes may be triggered by the very mention of their name and play these 27 songs back to back, you can take more than a sanguine view of their ups, downs, hits and misses. Some of the best guitar pop music of the last 20 years can be heard here.

You know the drill with Oasis albums: the first two were great and the following five simply didn’t meet expectations. It’s not that the Gallaghers snorted away their careers; it’s just that personnel changes, squabbling and dwindling creative powers saw them, studio album-wise, go from a sprint to a canter to a limp.

Still, the glory days sound magnificent: it’s just a cascade of exuberance, with Live Forever and the underrated Whatever losing none of their lustre. But the gaps soon open up. All Around the World is a bloated shambles, with whatever song was once there overdubbed out of existence.

The second half of their career, supposedly the artistically barren years, really leaps out at you here. The Importance of Being Idle (perhaps their best single), Little By Little and Liam Gallagher’s jaunty Songbird show that they could pull it out of the bag when they wanted to, but blithe inconsistency spoils the effect.

After one bout of handbags too many, it’s now all over bar the inter-sibling shouting. Time for all to look back in equanimity. See oasisnet.com

Why All Football Songs Are "Complete Shit", By Mr Noel Gallagher

From the current issue of the NME (ON SALE NOW)

Hi, Noel! What's your favourite football song?

"Fortunately they're all complete shit. There has never been a good World Cup song."

What, not even 'World In Motion'?

"Ah, but that wasn't really a World Cup song, was it? That was just a song they had lying around. It was. You heard it here first! I mean, apart from the rap... Yeah, I suppose I'm having that one."

What if Carlos Tévez released one with his band?

"I have heard them lots actually. What are they like? Well, they're influenced by my former band so they've got impeccable taste. I'll give them that."

Extract from an interview with Russell Brand and Serge Pizzorno in the same issue:

NME: Is there much in common with the crowds you attract and football crowds?

Russell: "I bet with Kasabian fans you get a big crossover, right?"

Serge: "Yeah, it's good for that. I prefer it, it's far better than the chin-scratchers. It's nice to have people going mental, having the best time ever."

Russell: "My fans have to listen. And they're mostly girls. I go, 'Can you please listen, this is a very delicate joke, please don't scream over it.' It's nothing like football. But some bands do appeal to that demographic."

Like I've made the mistake of doing gigs with Noel Gallagher before. I done this gig once at KOKO, a thousand-seater venue. I thought, 'Probably the audience will be split 50/50 between good old Russell Brand comedy fans and Oasis fans.' I thought, 'I'll go out, do 15 minutes at the top and then bring out Noel.' So I walked out and... (yells) 'OASIS! OASIS! OASIS!' (laughs) So my 15 minutes just went to '...Welcome Noel Gallagher!' I thought, 'Fuck that!' There's no way I was going to try and chisel out some jokes from that wall of hooliganism. They were there for him. I go to him before, 'Are you a bit nervous mate, 'cos I'm a bit nervous.' (puts on Noel voice) 'Fuckin' thousand people, try Knebworth, four hundred thousand.'"

Next week's NME includes a competition to win Oasis ipod gear.

Thanks to Dougie as always.

Noel Gallagher's Thoughts On 'D'You Know What I Mean?'

Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has spoken about the Oasis comeback single 'D'You Know What I Mean?'.

By the end of 1996, Oasis were one of the biggest bands on the planet. Two sold out shows at Knebworth had seen the band play to over 250,000 people while second album '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' topped the charts.

Returning with new material next year, it was clear that something wasn't quite right in the band. Recorded in a hail of drug use, 'Be Here Now' was panned by fans and critics alike after a huge hype campaign.

However the record holds a special place amongst fans. Lead single 'D'You Know What I Mean?' opens with a lengthy spell of feedback, which Noel Gallagher looked back on in a recent video.

"I arrived in London with an Adidas hold all and a battered old acoustic guitar. I had a Rolls Royce now. We arrived in a music scene when there was nothing, it was barren. We left by selling out three nights at Wembley. That's what it means".

Continuing, the guitarist mused on the extremely long length of comeback single 'D'You Know What I Mean?' which clocked in at almost eight minutes on the album edit.

"Why edit it down to four minutes when you can listen to eight minutes?" he asked. "I was so adamant in the studio. We had someone go 'it's too long' and I was like 'it's not long enough!' If you've just sold 12 million records and on Creation... their ethos was: the artist is always right".

"I wouldn't say I was right, though. I can't listen to fuckin' any of that album now!"

Oasis are set to release new singles collection 'Time Flies' later this month.

Russell Brand: Noel Gallagher Inspired Me

Russell Brand says Noel Gallagher inspired his role as rock star Aldous Snow in Get Him To The Greek.

The funnyman wanted to incorporate the Oasis star's "nonchalant" behaviour into his character.

Russell said: "I learned this kind of inherent nonchalance that rock stars have from Noel.

"I was so troubled by this nonchalance, I took to inquiring as to why it was going on. I said: 'Why are you so nonchalant, Noel?'

"Then there followed a brief time while I explained the word nonchalant. Not really - Noel Gallagher is a brilliant man and poet but I did have to explain that word.

"Then he said, 'It's because I know that anywhere I go, whatever happens to me, no matter what people say, as long as I've got the guitar and the ability to play, people will pay 10 quid to come and see me.'

"So I thought. 'That's good.' Aldous Snow is a person who knows that people will pay money if he's got his gift, whereas a comedian or whatever, you tend to be more neurotic about stuff like that."
