On This Day In Oasis History...

Below are a few videos from the gig. Footage from the two shows are available on the Official Oasis Video/DVD release 'There And Then'.

Noel Gallagher Admits He Loathes The England Football Team

Even though the former Oasis star was born and raised in Manchester, he insists he feels Roy Hodgson's men are "always a good laugh".

Football fan Noel Gallagher has said he loathes the England team so much he always supports the opposition.

Even though the former Oasis star was born and raised in Manchester, he insists he feels Roy Hodgson's men are "always a good laugh".

Speaking on US radio the 47-year-old went on to mock suggestions the team are world beaters after their recent 3-2 win over Germany while admitting he loathes all internationals who play for Manchester United and especially Wayne Rooney.

Noel blasted: "I am not a fan of the English team .

"I find the whole circus surrounding it annoying, that when they beat Germany in a friendly they are world beaters, but we all know Germany will win that trophy, and England will be lucky to get to the quarter finals.

“No, I'm not an England fan, though it would be great if England won anything, it would be truly staggering.

"I don't consider myself to be English, my parents are Irish, my wife's Scottish, my children have got some Scottish in them, but at the same time I don't feel a hundred percent Irish either because I was born in England.

"So internationally I don't really support anyone, but if England were playing Scotland tomorrow I would be supporting Scotland.

"If Ireland were playing England, I would be supporting Ireland, same for Wales, but I've been to England matches and it's always a good laugh.

"I don't like Wayne Rooney, most of the United players have coloured my judgement of England down the years, I know it's petty but it's just the way I am."

The die hard Manchester City fan said he feels only Raheem Sterling and Joe Hart deserve any international silverware.

He added: " Joe Hart is a legend and if anyone deserved a medal it would be him, and Raheem Stirling but the rest of them can f*** right off as far as I'm concerned."

The musician is also one of the few in the nation to bemoan Leicester City's potential win of the Premier League.

"I am not interested, if we don't win it it shouldn't be presented to anyone,” Noel said.

"Oh f*** no, of course I wouldn't want United to win anything, between the two, to be honest, I'd rather Tottenham win, I don't know why.

"Saying that it's over, Leicester are going to win it, they won it about four weeks ago, there's no way they'll stop them now.

“The Tottenham lads seem like pretty good lads, you know what I mean? I think they'd be worthy champions, and that Leicester team is going to break up at the end of the season and next season they might get relegated.

"It will be a bit of a flash in the pan you would have thought, that's the way it is.

On This Day In Oasis History...

"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.
