On This Day In Oasis History...

"Cigarettes & Alcohol" is a song by British rock band Oasis, written by Noel Gallagher. It was the fourth single to be released from their debut album Definitely Maybe, and their second to enter the UK Top Ten in the United Kingdom, peaking at #7 (three places higher than "Live Forever"), eventually spending 35 weeks on the charts, re-entering the Top 75 on several occasions until 1997.

Whereas earlier singles "Supersonic" and "Shakermaker" had used psychedelic imagery, and "Live Forever" used softer chords and tender lyrics, "Cigarettes & Alcohol" was the first real taste, among their singles, of the wilder attitude that Oasis appeared to be promoting. The song showcases the appeal of cigarettes, alcohol, drugs and partying as a remedy to the banality of working class life. Lyrics such as "Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for" tapped into the mood of British working class youth in the mid-1990s. However, the song does not set out to hold up these minor releases of work-a-day life as some ideal. They are, rather, a compromise – "You could wait for a lifetime," they sing, "to spend your days in the sunshine/(so) you might as well do the white line".

Upon first hearing the song, the man who discovered the band, Alan McGee, claimed that the song was one of the greatest social statements anyone had made in the past 25 years, such was his view on the song.




















Another notable element of this song is Liam's unique pronunciation of many of the words. Most rhymes end in "-tion," and Liam draws these out into "-sheeyion," for almost every line. Noel has said that he writes many lyrics to fit Liam's extremely different vocal style.

The song was one of the first cases when Oasis was accused of musical plagiarism, a reputation of the band that would later grow. The main riff of the song is supposedly "borrowed" from "Get It On (Bang a Gong)" by T-Rex and also bears a similarity to the opening of Humble Pie's cover of "C'Mon Everybody" from the album Smokin'.

Rod Stewart covered the song on his 1998 album When We Were the New Boys.

The song is included on Oasis' compilation album Stop the Clocks.

Contrary to the sleevenotes, which claimed it was recorded at the Glasgow Cathouse in June 1994, "I Am the Walrus" was actually recorded at a soundcheck for a gig at the Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland on February 6, 1994, as part of a Sony Music seminar. The reason why this wasn't mentioned on the original sleevenotes was because Noel thought mentioning the fact that it was recorded at a corporate event would look bad. The crowd noises at the beginning and end of the track are from a Faces bootleg of Noel's.

All three B-sides were featured on The Masterplan, although "I Am the Walrus" and "Listen Up" both appear as edited versions.

The Father Ted episode Cigarettes and Alcohol and Rollerblading is named after this song.

True Tale Revealed Behind Gig ‘Attack’ On Noel Gallagher

It was a notorious gig riot, supposedly sparked by a punter who threw a punch at Noel Gallagher.

Yet today the Sunday Sun can reveal what really happened at that 1994 Oasis gig at the Riverside... Noel smacked himself in the face with a very expensive, borrowed guitar.

The revelation is made in Riverside: Newcastle’s Legendary Alternative Music Venue, a brand new book recounting its hedonistic history that was launched last night.
Whitley Bay publishers Tonto Books gave the Sunday Sun a sneak peek at the book, penned by Hazel Plater and Carl Taylor with help from former workers, fans and experts.

The Daily Mail headlines described Oasis’ August 9 1994 gig as ‘An Orgy of Violence’ and our sister paper other papers reported that Noel needed stitches.

Yet in the book, Riverside security man Mal Wallace claims any injuries Noel suffered were accidentally self-inflicted because the fan didn’t touch him.

Mal Wallace said: “The kid ran in behind me and clambered on stage. I turned and grabbed the trouser leg of his jeans. He started to fall towards the pillar on the stage where Noel Gallagher was standing. He put his hands up to grab the pillar and Noel Gallagher lifted the neck of his guitar as the kid was heading towards him and hit himself in the eye with the headstock of his own guitar! All hell broke loose.”

An industry insider claims the gig then ended immediately because Noel realised the guitar – a loaned 1960s Gibson Les Paul Custom – had been damaged.

The source said: “In the mid-90s it was worth a five-figure sum even without its music history. And it wasn’t his, it was Johnny Marr’s. And Johnny bought it from Pete Townshend. These days you could sell it and buy a couple of houses. “Noel freaked out so much when it was damaged that the show was over within moments.”

Riverside: Newcastle’s Legendary Alternative Music Venue is published by Tonto Books, priced £9.99 (paperback), £12.99 (hardback) and on sale at book stores and on www.tontobooks.co.uk
