Oasis: Supersonic Page #11

---

getting on that stage.

I f***ing take massive offence to that.

That's one of the reasons

why I had to start doing vocals,

you know what I mean?

And then I thought,

"Oh, hang on a minute. This is all right.

"That girl's staring at me,

that's even better."

Wonderwall, actually you guys

have been doing for a while.

- Noel's been doing it acoustically.

- Yeah.

How did that come about?

He just decided he wanted

to do an acoustic song, which is cool.

But now when we get back to England

we're going to spread it out,

we're going to do it as a band.

- Are you still having a good time?

- Yeah, I'm rocking, yeah.

When I'm allowed to do the job,

that thing's good, yeah, I'm happy.

When I'm not allowed to do the job,

I'm not happy.

He's a great f***ing songwriter

and always will be,

but singing's my gig.

If you're going to start

singing the f***ing songs

as well as writing them, what am I doing,

making the f***ing tea?

All the coming off,

and the "I'm doing this tune."

I was walking on stage like a f***ing yo-yo,

you know what I mean, half the time.

"Here he comes, here he goes, here he comes.

"Leave it out! You're taking the piss, mate!"

So therefore there will be a bit of frustration

and the wheels might come off tonight.

I've left once.

For a long period?

A couple of weeks. Shouldn't have come back.

Biggest mistake I ever made was coming back.

Because Morning Glory

would have been my first solo album

and I'd have had a load of f***ing money.

Yeah, I mean, you know,

Our Kid has left on a couple of occasions,

and been sacked on a couple of occasions

actually. But, yeah, I suppose...

How does that work?

Four-fifths of vote sort of thing?

Oh, no, I just sack him. "You? Out!"

Noel said in the music papers

the other day about

- "Only a couple more records."

- About him leaving the band?

I think he's got loads and loads

of albums left inside him

and us as a band have got

loads and loads of gigs to do

and things to do, and can make them,

you know what I mean?

I don't feel no way we're splitting up,

right. I'm not into that at all.

But if he feels it, then he feels it,

you know what I mean?

A good slap around the jaw,

man, will change his mind.

This is yet another song

with sh*t lyrics... Wonderwall.

# Today was going to be the day

they were going to throw it back to you

# By now, you should have somehow

realised what you've got to do

# I don't believe that anybody

feels the way I do about you now...

Morning Glory took on a life

of its own after Wonderwall

and then Don't Look Back In Anger

came consecutively as singles.

Then, it just blew up all over the world.

# And all the lights that

lead the way are blinding

# There are many things

that I would like to say to you

# But I don't know how

# I don't know how

# I said maybe

# You're going to be the one that saves me

The songs on that record,

they're extraordinary songs,

and they're not extraordinary songs

because of anything that I did.

I only wrote them, and we only played them.

It's the millions of people since

who f***ing sing them back to you to this day

that have made them extraordinary.

# Today was going to be the day

but they'll never throw it all back to you

# By now, you should have somehow

realised what you're not to do

# I don't believe that anybody

feels the way I do about you now

There's nothing better than singing

them songs, man, to the people.

F***ing blast their souls.

And them just going f***ing apeshit.

# And all the roads

we have to walk are winding

# And all the lights

that light the way are blinding

# There are many things

that I would like to say to you

# But I don't know how

# I don't know how

# Because maybe

# You're going to be the one that saves me

# And after all, you're my Wonderwall

# I said maybe

# You're going to be the one that saves me

# You're going to be the one that saves me #

Maine Road, and the streets surrounding it

really are a stone's throw

from where I was born.

That really was a homecoming gig,

you know, it was, for all of us.

Cheers, thank you very much.

I'm a Man City supporter

and have been all my life.

To be offered to play at a gig like that,

it was unbelievable.

We still felt like a cult band

selling out two nights at a stadium.

From the greatest band in the world to

the greatest fans in the world. Good night!

I remember sitting in a box on my own

watching the stadium emptying,

with the floodlights on,

trying to appreciate it,

thinking, "Where does it go from here?"

But then almost immediately,

bang, you're into a party.

Still to come, it's gone

thirteen times platinum,

it charted a year ago today,

is it the greatest album ever written?

I think it's fair to say that

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

is probably one of the

biggest-selling albums of all time.

Without doubt, the biggest band around

in Britain at the moment is Oasis.

The fastest-selling album of the decade.

What? Are you asking me if I'm happy?

Listen, I've got 87 million in the bank.

I've got a Rolls Royce,

I've got three stalkers,

I'm about to go on the board

at Manchester City.

I'm part of the greatest band in the world.

Am I happy with that?

No I'm not! I want more!

Well, we've got the Oasis brothers here.

- What do you think about it tonight?

- Boring.

- I thought we should have won more.

- Really?

Yeah. We should have been voted

the Best Rap Artist.

I thought he should have been voted Best Band

because he's got seven personalities.

Oasis.

- Oasis.

- Oasis, Wonderwall.

What does a Brit Award mean? F*** all.

In the grand scheme of things,

all that sh*t was irrelevant.

Has-beens shouldn't present

f***ing awards to gonna-bes.

One of the heads of the Brits said,

"This will ruin your career."

You f***ing bell-end!

If anyone's going to ruin my career,

it's going to be me, not you.

The one voted for by the fans means a lot.

Anything that's voted for by fans is special.

Anything that's voted for by idiots,

corporate pigs, means nothing to us.

You know, because really the music,

f*** all that.

Writing songs is difficult.

Talking sh*t is easy.

When I do an interview,

I'm there to be a f***ing gob-shite

and to cause as much f***ing trouble

as possible.

As soon as people realise that the majority

of people in this country take drugs,

then, I mean, the better off we'll all be.

Everybody does it.

You do it, you do it, you do it.

You do it, you do it,

you do it and you do it.

He doesn't do it... Because he's a Buddhist.

You know, it's like getting up

and having a cup of tea in the morning.

...is as common as having a cup of tea.

It was immediately condemned by politicians

with one minister calling him

a "spoiled brat".

The press lapped that sh*t up

because no one had ever come along

that was even remotely like us.

We were the biggest band in the country

and we didn't give a f***.

I was asked a question, I gave my opinions
