Oasis
'The Hindu Times' is a song by English rock group Oasis, and was the first single to be released from their fifth album Heathen Chemistry on 15 April 2002. It was written by Noel Gallagher. Noel got the name "The Hindu Times" from a t-shirt he saw in a charity shop. The song was the band's sixth UK #1 single, staying on top for one week before being dislodged by the Sugababes' "Freak Like Me".
The title has little to do with the lyrics of the song, which are more in the vein of Definitely Maybe's "Rock 'n' Roll Star". It has been speculated that the title refers to the main riffs' similarity to Indian music in sound, sounding as if they were played on a sitar. Gallagher himself says that it is because he had already named the song before any lyrics were written for it.
The song, which combines the powerful fast rock of their earlier work with the psychedelic feel of their later work, was one of the first Oasis singles since (What's the Story) Morning Glory to receive almost unanimously positive reviews from the critics. However, some fans have criticised the song, stating that the main guitar riff was lifted from the Stereophonics song, "Same Size Feet", which was released in 1997 on their Word Gets Around album and uses the exact same, or at least very similar, guitar riff.
The song was unveiled during Oasis' Autumn 2001 Noise and Confusion Tour. The song was due to be released commercially at the same time but Noel decided the track needed more work done on it to be suitable for release.
The B-side, "Just Getting Older", was written at the time of the release of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.

The demo version of The Hindu Times is radically different from the finished album version. Most of the lyrics (sung by Noel) are different, and the slower sound of the song is much more "grungy", with a heavy drum loop running throughout the song. It is also a semitone higher in the demo.

Sergio Aguero
Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher looks back on the 2-1 victory for Roberto Mancini's side in the Manchester derby.
A stunning solo goal from second-half substitute Sergio Aguero clinched a dramatic win for Man City in a thrilling night at Old Trafford.
It was certainly an animated affair that thoroughly lived up to the pre-match hype, which was concluded by a sublime finish from City’s Argentine striker, which also ended Man United’s remarkable 18-game unbeaten league run and cut their lead at the top to 12 points.

Hurts
Miles Kane
Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher has revealed that he turned down the opportunity to work with both Hurts and Miles Kane this year.
The singer-songwriter was approached by both acts to work on their albums but Gallagher says that he declined both opportunities as he doesn't want to be working all of the time. "I don't live my life by the credo of having to work all the time," he told NME. "I got asked to be on some pretty big records but nothing came of it. I was going to be on the Hurts album: they sent me some great fucking songs, but sometimes you've got to phone these people back and say, 'Nothing's fallen out of the sky here, man - it sounds great as it is'. If I can add something, then great, I'll do it but not for the sake of it."
Talking about the decision to say no to Miles Kane, Gallagher was typically honest, saying: "I couldn't be bothered in the end. I was in Singapore. He asked me to work on it and I was in the middle of a tour and couldn't make it work. I'll play with anyone, diary permitting. And when I say diary, I mean Man City football fixtures."
Hurts released their second album 'Exile' earlier this year while Miles Kane's album 'Don't Forget Who You Are' is set to be released in June. Meanwhile, it was reported earlier this week that Noel Gallagher has been offered £2m to become the next X Factor judge.

Simon Cowell
Britain't Got Talent judge Simon Cowell has denied the claims that rocker Noel Gallagher could become a judge on the X Factor after revealing that the former Oasis star "wasn't interested" in the position.
Speaking to EntertainmentWise at the launch of Britain's Got Talent yesterday, the media mogul addressed the speculation that Noel had been approached to judge talent on the show when it returns later this year.
He said: "I don't think he'd want to do it."
Asked if he had spoken to Noel about the idea, Simon continued: "I spoke to him once but he wasn't interested. But I like Noel, he's a cool guy."
The media mogul also dismissed the claims that Noel has been offered money to appear on the show, commenting:
"No absolutely not. We literally had a conversation because I know him quite well but that was a couple of years ago."
Meanwhile, Simon also admitted at the press launch that he will axe the show when it gets "boring". He told us: "When we first made this show, if you'd told me we'd be sitting here on season seven, I would pinch myself to be honest with you. It's all credit to the guys who make the show. I think the show is as much about people as it is talent."
Believing that "everyone wants to be famous" these days, Simon continued:
"Let's be honest, we live in a world where everyone wants to be famous and I think that's fun and the day it starts to become boring, trust me we'll stop."

Beady Eye
Liam Gallagher
Oasis
A teenage musician became a ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Star’ after he performed an impromptu gig with his idol - Liam Gallagher.
The former Oasis frontman has spent time in the Accrington area this week, shooting a video with his new band Beady Eye.
Keen guitarist and singer Reece Bibby, 14, heard that one of the locations used by the band was the Canine Club on Abbey Street.
He was in such a hurry to meet the star that he grabbed his guitar, but not his coat, when he left his home on Marlborough Road.
He said: “I love Oasis and Beady Eye so had been waiting for a couple of hours outside the club. I only had a t-shirt on and had started shivering.
“A woman who was with her daughter wrapped me in a pink blanket from her car and took a picture which the band must have seen, because a couple of minutes later someone came out and said Liam wanted to see me.
“I was shown inside and taken upstairs to the group’s dressing room.
“Liam hugged me and asked me why I wasn’t wearing a coat. He then saw my guitar and said ‘do you know any Oasis songs?’.”
It was then that Reece became the envy of thousands of musicians worldwide, performing perhaps Liam’s best-known song with the man himself.
“I started strumming the opening chords of Wonderwall,” he said. “My hands were freezing and shaking but I know the chords well. I couldn’t believe it when he started singing the opening line. I got goosebumps.
“He sang the verses and I joined in the choruses. It was amazing.”
Liam then signed Reece’s acoustic guitar and handed him his pair of Mosley Tribe designer sunglasses.
Reece said: “He told me to believe in myself and that as a musician I should listen to the sounds all around me. It was just surreal.”
With that, Reece, a Hollins Technology College pupil returned home to dad Jamie, 35, mum Lyndsey, 32 and 13-year-old sister Lexie.
Reece, performs a mixture of his own songs and cover versions and will be playing at the Victoria pub, Accrington on May 4.

Filmmaker Danny Boyle has his sights set on directing a movie musical after losing his nerve about turning Millions into an all-singing spectacular.
The man behind Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire reveals he contemplated asking former Oasis star Noel Gallagher to create original music for his well-received 2004 film, and still regrets not acting on his dream.
Boyle tells WENN, "I'd love to do a musical. I think any decent director has got to do a musical some day! It would be an original musical that's not based on a stage show that's got original music for the film only.
"We made a little film called Millions, kind of a family film and we should've turned it into a musical. The problem with musicals isn't the music, it's the story that allows people to sing. The writer and I talked about it because you've got two kids, one who's incredibly imaginative who sees saints and you put a song to those saints and accept them singing.
"We were gonna get Noel Gallagher from Oasis to write the songs but we didn't have the confidence, so we backed away from it. It's a lovely film but we may have missed our opportunity to do it as a musical."

Beady Eye
Liam Gallagher
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
The feud between Liam and Noel Gallagher is one of the most turbulent and volatile in modern music (bar some of the insane gangsta rap beef you see every now and then), so when the pair met after Beady Eye performed at the London 2012 Olympics last year, you’d expect to hear that sparks were flying and that maybe even a sly punch was thrown.
Well, actually, it turns out the pair didn’t have the ultimate show many would have predicted - and Liam has described the scene as ‘more Montel than Jeremy Kyle’!
While it may seem hard to believe, Liam insists that he wasn’t drunk (he was only four Champagne bottles deep), and described the meeting as ‘alright’ - before comparing it to American talk-show Montel, rather than ‘chav’ program Jeremy Kyle.
[Bumping into Noel] was all right,” Liam told Shortlist. “I wasn’t that pissed actually, I’d only had like… four bottles of champagne. I thought I was pretty pleasant, you know what I mean? I said, ‘What do you make of that then, you f*cker?’ And he went, ‘Uh, yeah, it was all right.’ Then I said, ‘I seen your mates there, they said to say hello,’ and he went ‘Who?’ and I said, ‘Take That,’ and he went, ‘Urggh.’”
He continued: “Well, it wasn't Jerry Springer or Jeremy Kyle. It was more Montel. Montel is cool as fuck. At least he knows what he's talking about. D'you know what I mean? You can't have one chav telling another chav to wind his neck in, can you? Montel's a fucking dude: he's been there, seen it. And he wears fucking polo necks in front of a live studio audience.”
He went on to talk about the Beady Eye track ‘Don’t Brother Me’, which he confesses is about Noel.
Well, it just sounds shit, 'Don't Sister Me', doesn't it? Especially when I haven't got a sister. I could've tried to call it something else, but that's what it is... And that is it. It's a lovely fucking song. There's a lot of love in there, but there's also a couple of - humorous, I think - digs.
“There's nothing malicious in there, 'cos it's not in my nature. I wish I could write a malicious one - you'd fucking know about it if I could - but I couldn't. I'm joking, man. But I couldn't. And 'You, You Cunt' sounds shit, doesn't it? Plus he's heard that one before. Everyone's heard that before.”

Beady Eye
Liam Gallagher
Oasis
His band Beady Eye may be taking an 'experimental' new direction for album number two, but going back to his traditional roots is what Liam wanted to do for his new video.
He's just announced his band Beady Eye will be taking an “expiremental” new direction for their second album, but Liam Gallagher returned to very traditional roots to shoot his new video.
For Liam chose old-fashioned boozer the Dog and Partridge in Accrington to film the video with his bandmates – to the surprise of residents there.
Burnage boy Liam announced yesterday that Beady Eye’s new album will be called BE, and will see the rockers experiment with cassette tapes, iPhone apps and samplers for a fresh new sound.
And they certainly wasted no time in heading up here to film a video for what is likely to be the first new song off the album, Flick of the Finger.
Needless to say, the presence of the famous rocker caused something of a stir in the village of Baxenden when they set up filming at the pub.
Schoolgirls Amy and Molly Brennan and friend Holly Kenyon spotted the film crew outside the pub and with dad Ian they decided to investigate.
Ian said: “I asked them what it was all about and they didn’t want to say anything at first but then they told us it was Liam Gallagher.
“As we walked back up the road he came out, it was quite surreal seeing him at our local boozer. The girls were quite scared when I went to talk to him but he was nice as pie.
“I asked him for photos with the girls and he was chatting to them telling them his mum was a dinner lady and asking if they were off school.
“People always say he’s mad but he was really sound.”
Ian added the girls – Amy, 14, Holly, 13 and Molly, 10, had heard of the former Oasis legend but admitted they were more One Direction fans.
He said: “As soon as they got home they were watching Liam and the band online, it was exciting for them, I think they’re fans now.”
After word got out of Gallagher’s appearance people flocked to the pub to catch a glimpse of the rocker.
Earlier in the day our beady eyed moles spotted Liam at Piccadilly train station where he arrived with bandmates for the long day of filming ahead.
Can’t wait to see the results!

The former Oasis frontman rolled up with his latest band Beady Eye in Baxenden to film a promo for the song Second Bite Of The Apple.
The unlikely location for the shoot was the Dog and Partridge pub in Back Lane, with the band choo-sing it for its traditional looks, both outside and in.
After the shoot Galla-gher happily posed for pictures and signed autographs for fans, delighting the crowd of around 50 who had patiently waited for the band to complete their filming.
Gallagher said: “It’s great be up here, it’s a beautiful little place. The weather’s been good too.
“We’ve all had a top time, you can’t beat a traditional little boozer.”
Licensee Fiona Heap said: “A location scout came in last Friday and asked us if it would be OK for them to film for a few hours.
“I think they were after the looks of a traditional local and they were particularly taken with the pool room.
We were only too glad to help.
“The crew were here all day but the band arrived around 12.30pm and stayed until 4pm.
“Liam was very friendly and was fantastic with the fans outside. All the band seemed to be having a good time.”
Delighted fans said that Beady Eye’s visit had been memorable.
Darcey Powell, 16, said: “I can’t believe it.
“I got a picture with Liam and he was really nice, dead friendly.
“This is the best thing that has happened in the Easter holidays ever.
“I had a dentist’s appointment but I sacked it off to meet Liam. There wasn’t really an option.”
Amelia Cardwell, 14, said: “I heard on Facebook that the band were here and came down with my mum.
“I can’t believe he’s shooting a video right on my doorstep.
“It’s really exciting.”

The songs on Be, in Beady Eye’s words

Andy: “To me, it’s a Gimme Shelter moment.”
2. Soul Love
Liam: “This started as a Songbird-y thing, but I changed it the night before we recorded it.”
3. Face The Crowd
Liam: “Face The Crowd is just f*cking…”
Gem: “…a banger.”
4. Second Bite Of The Apple
Liam: “This is the one Sitek changed the most… There’s a lot more magic on this album.”
5. Soon Come Tomorrow
Andy: “One of my tunes, a bit of a quieter, slower thing.”
Liam: “Great tune. Hendrix-y.”
6. Iz Rite
Liam: “The Beatles on E.”
7. I’m Just Saying

8. Don’t Brother Me
Liam: “It’s a beautiful f*cking song and I like the title. I didn’t want to change it.”
9. Shine A Light
Andy: “The intro to this we called ‘the Scarface bit’: like an old black-and-white movie. Very dramatic.”
10. Ballroom Figured
Liam: “It’s a bit Marley to me: Redemption Song. Beautiful.”
11. Start Anew
Andy: “My favourite vocal on the album. It’s an epic: starts off as an acoustic tune then ends up like Neil Young in Boca Juniors’ stadium, in 35C heat, with fireworks going off.”

Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Tony McCarroll
"Some Might Say" is a song by British rock band Oasis and was released on the 24th April 1995.
The song was written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. It was the first single to be released from their definitive second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory ? in 1995, and provided the band with their first #1 in the UK Singles Chart.
The track was apparently inspired by the Small Faces and/or T-Rex. It was the last Oasis track to feature original drummer Tony McCarroll, who was asked to leave the band before the main recording sessions for (What's the Story) Morning Glory ? when tensions arose between McCarroll and the Gallagher brothers. The rest of the tracks on the album feature Alan White on drums.
The sleeve artwork, shot at Cromford railway station in Derbyshire, England, features art director Brian Cannon's father with wheelbarrow and his mother with mop. Also pictured are Matthew Sankey, Cannon's aide and Carla Knox, barmaid of his local pub. Liam Gallagher can be seen on the bridge whilst Noel can be viewed with a watering can. Cannon himself rates this piece amongst his greatest works.
The planned promo video for the song was canceled due to Liam not turning up for the shoot. Instead, a makeshift video was created using footage from the "Cigarettes & Alcohol" and US "Supersonic" videos.

B-sides
Aside from the title song, the single boasts some of Oasis' finest B-sides, all of which were deemed worthy to grace the critically acclaimed Masterplan album. "Talk Tonight", is one of many acoustic B-side tracks sung by Noel, and was, at the time, the most vulnerable song he had attempted. It was inspired by the near-breakup of the band in Los Angeles in autumn 1994, when Noel walked out without telling anyone and headed for San Francisco.
The B-side "Acquiesce" was released as part of the Stop the Clocks EP in promotion their compilation album, Stop the Clocks.
In an interview promoting the compilation album, Stop the Clocks, Noel stated that "Some Might Say" is the "archetypical Oasis song' and 'defines what Oasis is". Noel added later in the interview that along with "Some Might Say", its b-side, "Acquiesce", was also the song that defined Oasis.
The song also appears on Stop the Clocks, as do two of the b-sides. Suprisingly, this means that the "Some Might Say" single contains the fourth largest number of tracks to appear on Stop the Clocks of any Oasis release (after Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory and The Masterplan). Therefore, more songs from this single ended up on Stop the Clocks than Don't Believe the Truth (2 songs), Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, Heathen Chemistry (1 song each) and Be Here Now (no songs from this album appear on Stop the Clocks).
"Some Might Say" is a playable track in both Guitar Hero World Tour and The European version of Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades.
