On This Day In Oasis History...

"Cigarettes & Alcohol" is a song by Oasis, written by Noel Gallagher. It was released as the fourth single 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. The single was released in the UK on October 10th 1994

Background

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 of the wilder attitude that Oasis appeared to be promoting. The song proclaims the inherent appeal of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs as a remedy to the banality and seemingly futile nature of the working class life. Lyrics such as "Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?" taps into the common sentiment of western disenchantment that was particularly common in the mid-1990s.

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.

Contrary to the sleeve notes, 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 6 February 1994, as part of a Sony Music seminar. The reason why this wasn't mentioned on the original sleevenotes is that Noel thought mentioning the fact that it was recorded at a corporate event would "look shit". The crowd noises at the beginning and end of the track are from a Faces bootleg of Noel's.

The single is the first Oasis release to feature the inclusion of a song not written by Noel Gallagher.

Noel in the Lock the Box interview says "I remember writing it in my flat in Manchester, and two guys used to live above me, and in those days, being the fucking geezer that I was, I used to write on the electric guitar with my amp in the fucking room, in a block of flats, on ten, and one of the guys passed me on the stairs and said "You're not gonna fucking write a song to that riff are you? That's fucking rubbish" and I was going "Listen fat arse, that's gonna be fucking amazing when it comes out"."

Noel has also said of "Cigarettes and Alcohol", "That song keeps getting better and better for me."

Noel claims that when they released "Cigarettes and Alcohol", he realised how big they were going to be. He said in an interview that "that was the moment when we realised we should belt up, it's gonna get a bit mad from here on in."

Noel Gallagher Declines To Comment On 'Celebrity Gogglebox' Rumour

Noel Gallagher and Channel 4 have declined to comment on the rumour that he will be appearing on a charity episode of TV show Gogglebox this month.

The singer is touted to be appearing on a special edition of the programme, which shows various groups of people watching and commenting on topical TV shows from their sofas. Other rumoured participants on the charity programme include models Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell.

When asked for confirmation of the appearance, however, Gallagher's team replied with a "no comment" on the matter. Channel 4 also declined to confirm or deny the rumour, stating that they are "unable to confirm any of the guests for Gogglebox: Celebrity Special yet".

It was reported by the Mail Online earlier today that the trio would be participating as part of Channel 4's Stand Up To Cancer event on October 17.

A source was stated as saying, "The sketch will help to raise money for charity and Kate is good friends with Noel and Naomi. When she knew she would have them by her side she did not hesitate to agree. Kate likes watching TV and is a fan of Googlebox, Bake Off and X Factor."

Meanwhile, Noel Gallagher has recently been in the studio working on the following-up to 2011's 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds'. According to 'Definitely Maybe' co-producer Mark Coyle, the forthcoming album has the spirit of that hugely successful Oasis record. "Noel's new album is fucking great," he said."It reminds me in some respects of the spirit of 'Definitely Maybe', because it’s so obviously exciting. That boy is from a different planet, and even the fans won't believe how utterly amazing it is."

Noel Gallagher, Kate Moss And Naomi Campbell To Appear On Gogglebox Later This Month

They are more used to spending their nights out on the tiles.

But prolific party-goer Kate Moss, fellow supermodel Naomi Campbell and rocker Noel Gallagher, 47, have agreed to stay in and watch TV for charity.

The trio are taking part in a special celebrity Gogglebox sketch to raise money for Channel 4’s Stand Up For Cancer fundraiser.

The hit reality TV series which launched in 2013 features a selection of families and couples watching television at home and commenting on the programmes they view together.

Only on October 17 those watching the TV programmes selected and sharing their opinions with the viewers at home will be a little more glamorous.

Moss normally refrains from commenting in public so for many viewers at home this will be the first time they will hear her speak.

The 40-year-old mother-of-one is said to have agreed to take part as she is a fan of the programme and enjoys watching Bake Off and X Factor and is also partial to the US sitcom Modern Family.

Miss Campbell, 44, who will next star in US TV drama Empire is glued to American show Housewives of Atlanta.

Last night a source said: ‘The sketch will help to raise money for charity and Kate is good friends with Noel and Naomi. When she knew she would have them by her side she did not hesitate to agree.

‘Kate likes watching TV and is a fan of Googlebox, Bake Off and X Factor.’

Moss and Campbell,who both grew up in London, have been firm friends since the 1990s as they flew around the world modelling and often found themselves working together.

Describing their enduing friendship which has spanned 25 years, and providing an indication of what viewers can expect when they tune in to watch the sketch, Campbell has said in the past: ‘What’s Kate like? Well, she’s honest, loyal and straightforward.

'There’s no bullshit. She’s not pretentious in any way. What you see is what you get. I love that about her. After all, we’re both from south London — I’m from Streatham, she’s from Croydon — and from working-class families. She’s never tried to be anything else and nor have I. We know our roots.’

Moss and Gallagher became friends following the success of Oasis during the 1990s Britpop era.

Googlebox launched on screens in 2013 and became the surprise hit of the year and has been equally as successful this year.

The show regularly sets Twitter alight as viewers are bowled over with its depiction of ordinary folks and the dynamics of their relationships and family lives.

The format has been sold all over the world, with American and Chinese broadcasters first in the queue to snap up the show.

In 1997 Morning Glory was named the 5th greatest album of all time in a 'Music of the Millennium' poll conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM. In 1998 Q magazine readers placed it at number 8, and in 2000 it achieved the same position in Q's list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. The editors of Q magazine declared it the "album of the decade" in 1999. The readers of Q placed it seventh on the 2006 top 100 greatest albums of all time list. In 2003, the album was ranked number 376 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

History

The success of Morning Glory catapulted Oasis from being a successful Britpop band to being one of the biggest bands in Britain, with substantial international fame, and considerable press coverage in the mainstream and music press. The band played several massive open air concerts in the UK during 1996, which included two nights at Knebworth in front of a combined audience of 250,000 people (125,000 each night), with over 2.5 million applying to buy tickets.

Notes:

* Tracks 6 and 11 are officially untitled. In fact, the track listing bears no title whatsoever for these songs, merely a blank space.
* The excerpts from "The Swamp Song" are parts of the instrumental B-side to the "Wonderwall" single.
* The vinyl LP edition of the album features a bonus track, "Bonehead's Bank Holiday". This song appears as the 7th track on the album, immediately after the 43-second untitled track.
* "Step Out" had to be removed from the album at the last minute. The song, sung by Noel, was intended to have been the original track 8 (after "Some Might Say" and before "Cast No Shadow"), but was removed as the chorus was similar to the chorus of Stevie Wonder's 1965 track "Uptight (Everything's Alright)". Wonder's publishing company were alleged to have demanded a substantial amount of royalties from the album which Oasis weren't prepared to pay, so the track was removed, although not before the first promotional copies of the album had been released with "Step Out" included. The track was eventually released as a B-side on Oasis' 1996 single "Don't Look Back in Anger", with an amended song writing credit of 'Gallagher/Wonder/Cosby/May', and was included on the live album Familiar to Millions.
