Liam Gallagher said of their upcoming record: "I can't wait for people to hear the album. I think the people that are into the Stone Roses and Oasis and that kinda thing, I think they'll fucking love it. It's spiritual, it's crucial. LG x".
John Squire added: “It was really inspiring to have those Knebworth gigs fresh in my mind as I started writing. Then it was a case of trying to steer it away from all being too rocky, and trying to mix up the sentiments as well. I like the way that in some parts, it's quite melancholic and it can make you well up, but there are other parts that are kind of irreverent, rude or crude. There's a little bit of everything in there, I think it's a really good mix. I had a hunch that we’d sound good together, but I wasn’t prepared for it to be such a good fit."

Noel Gallagher Confirms He Is Working On An Acoustic Album
Noel Gallagher is set to release a much-anticipated fully acoustic album.
He told the Matt Morgan’s podcast: “I’m back in the studio – not rock, the acoustic stuff. I’m doing it for fans really.
“I’ve had to take all the electronic equipment out of the studio… because I’ve tried to make an acoustic album three times, and every time (I’ve used the electronics)… so it’s just acoustic instruments in the studio.”
Noel added he gets “bored of listening to acoustic songs” so has decided to add other “acoustic instruments” to his upcoming album.
He said: “I’ve come up with working just with acoustic instruments, so instead of a bass it’ll be a double bass.
“That way I can say, ‘I’ve made an acoustic album, but it’s used all acoustic instruments.’
“So it’ll not all be me strumming a guitar with the same four chords and singing about the weather.”
Despite his desire to add depth to his next record, Noel said it is very difficult to mess up acoustic sounds.
He said: “It is the essence of what every song is. There’s nothing you can do after that, you can’t (mess) it up.”
Turning to the track list for his forthcoming LP, Noel revealed: “I’ve got a CD with six (acoustic tracks) on it already.
“There’s a song called ‘God Help Us All’, which is an old song from another 2005, so when I was still in Oasis, but I never recorded it.
“But there is a demo of it when a load of EPs came out. Then there’s one that was bootlegged called ‘Just Let It Come Down Over Me, which is quite country.
“I’ll do that, but the rest of it is all new stuff.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge of seeing it through… as long as the melody and lyrics are good, it’s good.”

Book: 'Get On The Rollercoaster' Oasis In New Zealand
Twenty-five years ago, New Zealand welcomed the most notorious rock 'n' roll stars of the 1990s, Oasis, to its shores.
The band's first two albums Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? had already reached cult status, cementing their place in music history, but it took until 1998 and the release of their divisive third album Be Here Now to secure a visit down under.
The story of that tour is detailed in this book, a heady mix of triumph, joy and disappointment, as seen and retold mostly through the eyes of concertgoers and the band's crew, including interviews with Michael O'Connor (Production Manager), Paolo Hewitt (band biographer and DJ) and Gareth Williams (Monitor Engineer) amongst others.
From the early ripples of excitement in the New Zealand press when the band released its debut album, through to their commercial peak, the scene is set for their much-anticipated 1998 visit. The only time the band would grace these shores.
The tour itself is covered through a unique combination of historical information, advertising material, media coverage and never-before-seen photographs, to complement the previously untold accounts from the fans, crew and some famous New Zealand musicians influenced by Oasis, including Tom Larkin of Shihad.
Foreword by New Zealand music and pop culture writer Simon Sweetman. Heavily illustrated with over 50 photographs and rarely seen press material.
Written by the fans, for the fans. This is the unofficial story of Oasis in New Zealand.
