It would be fantastic if they invited Tony McCarroll to play "Supersonic". Alan White is a more skiled drummer - yet I always felt sorry for McCarroll. At least it would be fair if the Gallaghers would not talk badly about him in public anymore. And, as pointed out before, McCarroll's style fit to "Definitely maybe". Of course one has to say that White's playing on "Morning Glory" is an integral part of the album's magic.

I don't think the Gallaghers are known for their class and decorum

Do they talk ill about him anymore to be fair? Seems to me that since he had his health scare that they've been on friendly terms.

In recent years, I haven’t read of any negativity towards McCarroll, or any other previous members. A lot of what was said dates back to a different time. Oasis split in 2009, with Noel and Liam now in their 50’s; with Noel turning 60 in a couple of years. One has to ask: who are Oasis at this point? Well, it’s Noel and Liam only, seemingly. In that sense, everyone else on stage is a guest; and in my opinion, the door should be open to all previous members. We will just have to wait and see, I suppose.

During the last days I listened to the nineties albums of Oasis, memories came back. Does anybody know what became of Paul McGuigan?

He decided to leave during the early stages of the ‘Standing on The Shoulder of Giants’ sessions; whether it was to do with Bonehead’s dismissal, has never been clear. He reportedly resigned by fax, and not a lot has been heard about him since. He’s been photographed in recent years, but seemingly leads a quiet, somewhat ‘reclusive’ - I’d say ‘normal; everyday - existence. Noel once quipped that his passions are ‘weed and Manchester City’, with Oasis not factoring.

Thankyou, Al.

Thankyou, Al.

You’re welcome! Any thoughts regarding those 90’s albums? Sigh, what a time it was!

"Morning Glory" is great, I have to admit that I have a soft spot for "Be here now". I remember the concert they played in Frankfurt in november 1997. The hall was full of english fans who did not get tickets in the UK. The band was totally on drugs, it was one of the craziest concerts I have been to. Noels amp broke down, it was a huge choas, but somehow impressive. I still enjoy songs like "Fade in out", the live version as well as the studio version with Johnny Depp. And the opening of the "Be here now" shows was totally over the top, but funny: A chauffeur jumped around a Rolls-Royce, and Oasis came out of a phonebox. "Be here now" was a great opener.

"Definitely maybe" was a great debut of course. Oasis had something special then: They just threw together their b-sides and had "The masterplan", another great collection of songs.

Oasis has a lot of good stuff, but seriously, Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory and The Masterplan are all pretty great starting points. Those ones alone were enough for a career.

Great post! Yeah, I have viewed some of the 'Be Here Now' tour performances on YouTube, and, despite the album not being viewed as favourably as it's two predecessors, live-wise, arguably, Oasis were peaking. Certainly, Noel was playing some of the best lead-guitar of his career. I still think it a shame that he subsequently took such a step back, allowing Gem to carry so much of the load. Noel and Bonehead had such an understanding with their respective roles; Noel soloing, while Bonehead pounded those barre chords; a terrific racket!

And to add to this: there were more than enough 1994-'98 leftover B-sides to warrant a second compilation; Take Me Away, Cloudburst, etc.

Yep, I could listen to The Fame, I Got The Fever, Angel Child (THAT Middle 8, genius!!!), Street Fighting Man, Man Of Misery, Let's All Make Believe, Flashbax and My Sister Lover all day long + Round Are Way which didn't even make The Masterplan which was kinda odd.

I don't know this one! What was it the B-side of? For me, as good as those 1994-98 B-sides are, they did become predictable around the time of Heathen Chemistry: dirge-like 'Noel ballads' mainly. There were still gems, of course; Idler's Dream, for one.

It was supposed to become a b-side but ended up in BE's cannon instead, still recorded as Oasis. Yeah, some of those Noel tunes were not up to scratch, I got extremely surprised he bothered to release that old demo, Don't Stop.

But Pass Me Down The Wine, I believe In All, Those Swollen Hand Blues and Boy With The Blues were rather good. Eyeball Tickler was amazing, that one was like a 95 b-side almost! Agree about Idler's, that's a tune!

Thanks, Max. I'll have to check that out, later

Those Swollen Hand Blues is a good'un, definitely!

Could be.

And Roger wasn’t happy, perhaps?
