2
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,560
Does the red light mean it's on, yeah?
3
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,847
- Yeah.
- Pour a few glasses at me.
4
00:00:39,260 --> 00:00:41,360
I've had about four fucking
coffees today, man,
5
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,000
and they've fucking proper knocked me out.
6
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,120
What the fuck's going on?
7
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,362
Now I'm fucking double tired,
it's like, come on.
8
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,200
All right, how are we doing
in there, are we good?
9
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,920
Yeah, we're rolling,
I'm just going to do a sync pip.
10
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,960
Okay, lovely.
11
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,120
So, what do you think
looking back at that time
12
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,000
because it was, like,
two-and-a-half years really,
13
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,800
from being signed to playing Knebworth.
14
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,760
What happened to that band?
What happened to you in those three years?
15
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,040
Sorry, that was a big question.
16
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,964
It is a big question,
and it deserves a big answer.
17
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,560
RAs Oasis gears up to rock
a quarter of a million fans,
18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,400
we're live from Knebworth.
19
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,080
By Sunday night, Oasis will have played
20
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,800
to more than a third of a million people
in just over one week.
21
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,800
Hi, this is Jo Whiley
welcoming you to a rather special event,
22
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,800
the live gig of the decade.
23
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,400
In just over three years, Oasis
will have gone from being a new signing
24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,700
to one of rock's true giants.
25
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,723
Oasis! Oasis! Oasis!
26
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,646
Three, two, one!
27
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,808
Are we not playing a game?
28
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,802
Oasis was definitely like a fucking Ferrari.
29
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,000
Great to look at, great to drive,
30
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,961
and it would fucking spin out of control
every now and again when you go too fast.
31
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,042
We were just lads from a council estate.
32
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,128
Two brothers, head cases.
33
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,645
Oasis' greatest strength
was the relationship between me and Liam.
34
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,880
It's also what drove the band
into the ground in the end,
35
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,166
you know what I mean?
36
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,320
# There we were, now here we are
37
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,880
# All this confusion
38
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,320
# Nothing's the same to me
39
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,200
# There we were, now here we are
40
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,600
# All this confusion
41
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,840
# Nothing's the same to me
42
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,760
# I can't tell you the way I feel because
43
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,840
# The way I feel is oh so new to me
44
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,440
# I can't tell you the way I feel because
45
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:21,081
# The way I feel is oh so new to me #
46
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,440
For me, music, I wasn't into it until, like,
47
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,488
when I was about 16 or 17 maybe.
48
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,600
Anyone with a guitar, or in a band
49
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,480
I thought was a bit suspect,
you know what I mean?
50
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,369
And like, I'd hurl abuse at them.
51
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,800
I used to share a room with Noel.
52
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,520
A bit of a stoner, a bit of a loner.
53
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,640
You know, he had a guitar,
so he was copping for it,
54
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,926
you know what I mean?
55
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,804
Always very quiet, Noel.
56
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,200
Always in his room
with a piece of paper and a pen
57
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:46,640
and he'd be writing.
58
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,007
Always strumming the guitar.
59
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,600
Many is the time I went up
and I knocked that guitar and said,
60
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,927
"Bloody guitar, you get on my bloody nerves!"
61
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,160
Yeah, I mean,
once I'd discovered weed and guitars,
62
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,080
you got into another world.
63
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,640
What would you want to go out for?
64
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,520
Everything I ever wanted in life
was coming out of the speakers.
65
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,840
I don't know why me and Liam
would be so different.
66
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,241
We both had the same childhood,
do you know what I mean?
67
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,760
He was a devil, Liam.
68
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,524
Full of it, yeah.
69
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:18,320
Total attention seeker.
70
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,400
Robbing your clothes, robbing your records,
robbing your this, robbing your that.
71
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,720
Robbing your money.
72
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,720
Definitely a bit of a show-off,
73
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,120
but not to the point where it's,
like, fucking,
74
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,560
you know, Bonnie Langford,
do you know what I mean?
75
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,211
Or one of them little fucking brats
with jazz hands.
76
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,880
Well, Liam was, allegedly,
he was the cock of the school.
77
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,360
No one messed with him.
78
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,400
I think one day some rival school turned up
and boshed him on the head with a hammer.
79
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,440
We were stood there having a cig
80
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,160
and I remember all these lads coming down.
81
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,520
These kids pulled out this little fucking
hammer and went whack on my head.
82
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,800
Blood everywhere.
83
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,645
Got out of fucking double Maths,
so that was all right.
84
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,930
I've got a perfect alibi for that,
so it's nothing to do with me!
85
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,611
From that day on,
and I know it sounds stupid,
86
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,600
but it was like as if something had fucking
clicked, do you know what I mean?
87
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,240
You know, I started hearing music,
88
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,800
it started making sense,
you know what I mean?
89
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,486
So, whoever he is, thank you.
90
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,920
Somebody hammered the music into him.
91
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,002
He's got a fucking lot to answer for,
hasn't he?
92
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,080
All my life as it existed then was,
like going to sign on,
93
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,400
getting my cash, cashing my dole,
94
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,880
going to the Sifters, getting a record,
95
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,120
buying some weed, going into Greggs,
96
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,728
going back home and fucking blasting it out
and getting soaked in it.
97
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,960
I was just obsessed with being in a band.
98
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,008
Just ob-fucking-sessed, man.
99
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,680
Actually, I never thought
Liam was interested in music
100
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,440
until he used to sit out there
in the kitchen and say,
101
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,240
"I'm going to be famous one day," he said.
102
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,360
"And you're going to be really proud of me."
I said, "Am I?"
103
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,762
I said, "Well, I hope it's before
I start pushing up daisies."
104
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,769
"Because we need the money now!"
105
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,640
And then of course,
Bonehead started coming round,
106
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,440
and Tony McCarroll and Guigsy.
107
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,363
That's when Liam formed the band.
108
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,360
I knew Bonehead and I knew Guigs,
109
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,360
and they were in a band called The Rain.
110
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,600
They'd heard I was cool,
111
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,967
and I'd had my epiphany,
and all that bollocks.
112
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,368
Someone in passing just said,
"You know, Liam wanted to be in a band."
113
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,920
Liam came round my house.
114
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,083
His voice was just like, "Whoa!"
You know, it's like, "Yeah!"
115
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,800
# I used to live my life in vain
116
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,440
# Until today it's been the same
117
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,640
# I've gone away... #
118
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,640
It wasn't the Liam we all know.
119
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,040
A bit more softer, a lot more melodic.
120
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,880
And obviously his look. I mean, he looked
like Liam's always looked, you know.
121
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,320
He had a great haircut, great walk.
122
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,526
"I'll have a bit of that."
123
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,000
He went, "Right, look,
do you want to be in this band?"
124
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,320
I says, "Yeah, but we'll have to change that
fucking name though 'cause it's terrible."
125
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,643
There was a poster in our room
for the Inspiral Carpets.
126
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,760
It certainly wasn't about Swindon Oasis.
127
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,440
It was like, you know,
there was a kebab shop called Oasis.
128
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,440
There was a fucking taxi rank called Oasis.
129
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,200
That fucking name keeps coming up, "Oasis".
130
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,440
We were, kind of,
a little bit out on our own.
131
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,522
I just thought, "Oasis", that was good, man.
132
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,760
I'm not in Oasis at this point.
133
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,560
I'm not in a band,
I've no intention of being in a band.
134
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,920
I'm just part of a road crew
for Inspiral Carpets
135
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,082
trying not to get sacked from this job
136
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,802
because I fucking blagged my way into it
and I'm an absolute chancer.
137
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,800
The main thing was, like,
getting Noel in the band.
138
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:25,880
Good morning!
139
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,200
He was a songwriter.
140
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,890
He's a tight bastard!
141
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,681
I'm okay with me.
142
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,000
In my head, I thought, "He'll come off tour
143
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,200
"when he sees that we're doing it
instead of talking about it,
144
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,601
"he'll want to join our band
and he'll do the business."
145
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,440
I've done a couple of tours of America.
146
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,320
I'd been to Argentina.
147
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,600
I'd been to Japan.
148
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:01,286
So as far as they went, I went with them.
149
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,560
I met Mark Coyle,
sat at the back of the tour bus
150
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,324
smoking weed and doing the monitors.
151
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,640
That's how I met Noel,
pulling this fucking face
152
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,280
because this is his thing.
153
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,328
He's the roadie for that band.
154
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,489
And as soon as we started talking
we were, fucking, best mates straightaway.
155
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,571
If there's one thing I'd remember about Noel,
156
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,960
is that he never had a fucking dirty hand.
157
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,240
But he loved that band.
158
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,970
They were all terrified of him.
159
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,004
Yeah, he was just the boss all the way,
from the minute go when I met him.
160
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,200
I thought we were great.
161
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,520
I mean, clearly we weren't
because we did get fired,
162
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,250
separately got fired by the band,
163
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,560
for being unprofessional
164
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,240
and somewhat unapproachable
by various tour managers.
165
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,226
Lazy cunts!
166
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:47,770
Yeah!
167
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,083
I'd like to thank the Inspiral Carpets
for sacking him. Well done!
168
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,447
We had some great, funny fucking times.
169
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,361
I wasn't sitting at the side of the stage,
tuning guitars, thinking,
170
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,520
"One day, this is going to be me."
171
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,480
I thought that I'd arrived at that point
and that was it.
172
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:06,927
I thought, "This will fucking do me,"
do you know what I mean?
173
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,960
I was doing a gig in Munich.
174
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,160
I was somebody sound-checking a bass drum.
Boom.
175
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,080
One, two. What's sibilance?
176
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,322
I used to phone home on a Sunday,
phone my mum.
177
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:25,641
It's Noel.
178
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,362
On the phone? Just a minute.
I'll get it out here. Hello?
179
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,161
How are you, Noel?
180
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,410
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.
181
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,450
Just doing Liam's washing for him.
182
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,720
Doing his dirty washing for him.
183
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,080
But, anyway, we were chatting
away about family stuff
184
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,162
and then I said, "How's Liam?"
185
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:43,971
"Oh, he's out rehearsing."
186
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,920
"What for? He's not joined the
Shakespeare fucking group, has he?"
187
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,480
"Oh, no, he's in a band."
188
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:50,369
"What? Doing what?"
189
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,331
"He's the singer."
"He's the singer? He can't fucking sing."
190
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,808
"Oh, I don't know now.
He said he's the singer."
191
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,120
And that was it,
and then I, kind of, got home
192
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,520
and our Paul's going,
"Oh, yeah, he's in this band.
193
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,880
"They're pretty fucking good, you know."
194
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,160
And then they were playing
at the local band night
195
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,240
on at the Boardwalk.
196
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,810
And I went down to see them.
197
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,200
# Take me, when I'm young and true
198
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,921
# Was it me or was it you?
199
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,880
# Take me, when I'm not so strong
200
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,407
# Why has it taken you so long? #
201
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,680
I was like, "Wow, fucking hell!
I'm pretty impressed."
202
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:36,369
They had their own songs,
and Liam didn't look that out of place.
203
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,760
The first thing they said when they
come up to me was, "What did you think?"
204
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,000
I said, "It was fucking great,"
205
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,960
and they said, "We were thinking,
would you fancy being our manager?"
206
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,800
I was like, "What?
What the fuck are they talking about? No."
207
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,200
And they were, like, "Because you know
loads of people, and all that."
208
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,520
"Not sure about that.
I think you'd get a better manager than me."
209
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,082
And then a couple of weeks later
Liam said, "Come and fucking jam with us."
210
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,440
You know, so I went and sat in with them
211
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,840
and I was playing their tunes,
and it was great.
212
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,160
And then I think the second time I went,
213
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,762
Liam was going, "Play them
that fucking song that you played us."
214
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,120
And then once everybody all joined in
and you hear this thing
215
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,444
that you've, in inverted commas, "written,"
being played back to you in this room
216
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:33,882
and it's like,
"Wow! Fucking hell! That's amazing!"
217
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,485
It just went from there, really.
218
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:40,770
# It's a bit early
in the midnight hour for me
219
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,204
# To think of all the things I want to be
220
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,484
# I don't believe in everything I see
221
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,689
# You know I'm blind, so why do you disagree?
222
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,320
# Take me away
because I just don't want to stay
223
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:11,648
# And the lies you make me say
are getting deeper every day
224
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,325
# These are crazy days but they make me shine
225
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,682
# Time keeps rolling by
226
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,360
# All around the world
227
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,440
# You've got to spread the word
228
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,520
# Tell them what you heard
229
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,921
# Because you know it's going to be okay #
230
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,760
To hear your own stuff played back,
it was really a mega moment.
231
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,280
And then it went nowhere for two years.
232
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,920
So, I mean, there is the myth that I kicked
open the fuckin' rehearsal room door
233
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,280
to the theme tune from
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly,
234
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,400
and said, "Everybody, stop what you're doing.
I am here to make us all millionaires."
235
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,080
You know, It wasn't that at all,
you know what I mean?
236
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,120
No, the truth is,
he got on his hands and knees and said,
237
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,880
"Listen, I'll do anything,
just, please, let me be in your band."
238
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,360
I said, "Get up off your hands and knees,
son. You're all right, you can do it."
239
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,283
I think I've got a picture of it somewhere.
240
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,800
For that 18 months to two years,
we never gave up.
241
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,484
If nothing else, we were dedicated.
242
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,400
Yeah, I loved it. I loved it.
243
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,600
That was when we were on our own for a bit,
244
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,640
when everyone was in the hacienda
popping pills and that,
245
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,280
and all my mates would be
knocking on the door going,
246
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,400
"What are you doing now?"
247
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,640
"I'm going down
to the fucking rehearsal room."
248
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,560
The whole fucking city was like
just immersed in this music
249
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,442
that didn't make sense to me,
you know what I mean?
250
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,000
We weren't the best musicians,
but we had spirit, man,
251
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,320
and that was lacking massively at that point.
252
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,800
I always thought that we were greater
than the sum of our parts,
253
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,120
you know what I mean?
254
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,089
Bonehead?
255
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,440
He was kind of the glue
that held it all together.
256
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,560
God bless him.
257
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,484
If anything, I'd say Bonehead
was the spirit of Oasis.
258
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,160
He's a top musician and all, Bonehead.
He's like, he can play anything,
259
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,200
but he's a mental cunt
and I loved his mad side.
260
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,090
So me and him would get up to mad
shit together, you know what I mean?
261
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,880
Guigsy? Guigs brought a calmness to it all.
262
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,200
He never got flustered.
263
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,240
He loved cricket and Doctor Who,
and weed and Man City.
264
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,440
I'd say fifth after that was being in Oasis.
265
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,363
I'd say that came a lowly fifth.
266
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,920
Guigsy, chilled out motherfucker, man.
267
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,766
Lovely lad, but just a complete
and utter fucking stoner.
268
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,123
Tony was a person that I shared a room
in the early days, you know,
269
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,800
and I really, really got on with Tony.
Really nice person.
270
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,327
Very Irish in his ways, you know,
came from a massive Irish family.
271
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,360
Definitely the quiet one.
272
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,480
The one who was most reserved.
273
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,723
None of them lot had kids,
none of them had responsibility.
274
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,640
I had a different outlook on life.
275
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,720
I always had my daughter
in the back of my head.
276
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,801
That moulded me.
277
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,800
Oasis was going for about maybe six months,
a year,
278
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,645
and I was writing songs just to amuse myself,
279
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,327
and then one night, I went down with a song
and everything changed
280
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:26,565
# Maybe I don't really want to know
281
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,726
# How your garden grows
282
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,651
# Because I just want to fly
283
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,805
# Lately, did you ever feel the pain?
284
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,240
# In the morning rain
285
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,687
# As it soaks you to the bone
286
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,960
# Maybe I just want to fly
287
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,520
# I want to live, I don't want to die
288
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,720
# Maybe I just want to breathe
289
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,000
# Maybe I just don't believe
290
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,280
# Maybe you're the same as me
291
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:08,680
# We see things they'll never see
292
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,128
# You and I, we're gonna live forever #
293
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,400
Bonehead, he was saying,
"You've not just fucking written that.
294
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,440
"That's no way that's your song."
295
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:20,600
Well, I wouldn't believe it.
296
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,920
For someone to come in a room and just go,
297
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,280
"Oh, I'll play you one of my songs,"
and then play you Live Forever,
298
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:25,520
it's like, "Fuck off!
299
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,480
"You didn't write that."
He said, "Why didn't I?"
300
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,000
I said, "Because listen to it!"
301
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,760
You know, I thought, "Wow! What a song!
You didn't write it."
302
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,360
"Yeah, I did." "No, you didn't."
303
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,560
I knew enough about music and about songs
to know that that was a great song,
304
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,720
and then one followed another.
305
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,520
And it's like, "No, this happening now.
306
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,047
"And even if no one else takes any notice
of it, this is happening."
307
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,760
I didn't really get involved
with the music kind of thing.
308
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,760
I was, like, "Look, that's your thing,
you do that.
309
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,650
"I'll just be cool as fuck over there."
310
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,680
Once they were in a band
311
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,360
I knew they weren't going to listen to me
about steady jobs.
312
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,240
They were up and down the country,
and I would say,
313
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,760
"Oh, you might be lucky tonight."
314
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,480
And I'd say to Noel, "Any luck, Noel?"
315
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,400
"No." Then they'd go off again
somewhere else.
316
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,403
I spend my life worrying about them.
317
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,440
We didn't have one single paragraph
written about us, ever.
318
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,200
No one even said we were shit.
319
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,203
Completely and utterly fucking ignored.
320
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,080
I kind of had a feeling it'd happened, man.
321
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,280
I don't know what the consequences
would have been without it happening
322
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:24,880
because it was, like, if it didn't happen,
323
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,247
the world would be black,
do you know what I mean?
324
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,920
We were sharing a rehearsal room
with an all-girl band called Sister Lovers.
325
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,360
Unbeknown to us, one of the girls
in the band, Debbie Turner,
326
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,440
God bless Debbie,
was an ex-girlfriend of Alan McGee's,
327
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,200
the head of the coolest record label
in England.
328
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,680
We were asking her what they're up to
329
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,808
and they were saying,
"We're going up to do this gig."
330
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,280
I think I was probably
being quite cocky actually in saying,
331
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,760
"Oi, Noel, we're playing in Glasgow,"
332
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,880
which, then, for an unsigned band
to get a gig outside Manchester,
333
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,769
that was like playing Glastonbury.
334
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,007
And we were like, "Well, how the fuck
have you got a gig and not us?"
335
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,000
She said, "Why don't you come with us?
336
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,320
"Be on the bill, kind of thing."
337
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,440
And we were like, "Yeah, Glasgow?
Fuck it, let's do it."
338
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,800
For the pure love of it.
339
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,400
"If we all put in £25 each,
we can hire a splitter van
340
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,168
"and get up there, kip in the van,
do the gig, get back. Yay!"
341
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,680
So we hired a van out,
342
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,520
smoking weed, all that nonsense, drinking.
343
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,040
You know one of them days where you just go,
344
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:28,800
"It's fucking going to be the day today."
345
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,440
Maybe it was the drugs or something.
346
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,680
We get there really early
and we say, "We're Oasis from Manchester.
347
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:34,880
"We've come here to play tonight."
348
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,520
And the guy says,
"There's no band down here."
349
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,240
I said, "Yeah, yeah, it's all right,
we're with Debbie."
350
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,402
And he's like,
"No, no, no, no, no fucking way."
351
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,760
I think we said, "Well, if they're not
playing, we're not going to play.
352
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,560
"We'll do a really short set,"
353
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,920
which wasn't hard 'cause I think
we only had five songs anyway.
354
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,241
Then Oasis were allowed to play.
355
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,560
So we went on, we got to do four songs
356
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,165
and we didn't think anything of it.
357
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:07,080
Debbie didn't even know
that I was coming up to that gig.
358
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,080
I'd been an evil, twisted fucker.
359
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,811
I thought that I would show up
to put her on edge.
360
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,162
# What was that sound
ringing around your brain?
361
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,800
# Today was just a blur
362
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,963
# You've got a head like a ghost train
363
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,000
# You're the outcast
364
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,120
# You're the underclass
365
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,520
# But you don't care
366
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,523
# Because you're living fast #
367
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,163
At the end, there was just loads of feedback
and a smattering of applause.
368
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,760
I really do believe some things
are meant to fucking be.
369
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,080
I was standing there
with my kid sister, Susan.
370
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,600
She immediately went,
"You should sign these,"
371
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,760
and I'm like, "Let's see the second song."
372
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,520
And it's like, "I'm signing these!"
373
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,807
And the third song,
"I'm definitely signing these!"
374
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,961
And I, sort of like,
went up to Noel and I said,
375
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,920
"I'm Alan McGee. Do you want a record deal?"
376
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,160
And I said, "Who with?"
377
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,289
And he went, "Creation Records,"
and I kind of recognised him.
378
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,401
And that was it!
379
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,802
I don't remember anybody
high-fiving in the back of the van
380
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,560
thinking, "Hurray, this is it!"
381
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,400
I remember going back to Manchester
382
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,880
and getting in to where
I was living, you know,
383
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,530
at, what, 6:00 in the morning.
384
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,242
And my then missus, Louise,
was getting ready to go to work.
385
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,240
And I said,
386
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,120
"Creation Records
have offered us a record deal,"
387
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,640
and she started crying.
388
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,042
She knew then that, you know,
that was going to be the end of us.
389
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:10,480
I remember the day he came back
and told me he had the record deal.
390
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,560
And of course I thought, "Oh, this is great."
391
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,520
I never really thought
it would go the way it did though.
392
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,810
Liam says, "All I want, Mum,
is to earn a bit of money," he says,
393
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,840
"and get myself some new clothes."
394
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,285
And then it went haywire.
395
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,040
Mum was an angel, still is.
396
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:31,886
Not impressed by all this
rock 'n roll business, and rightly so.
397
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,520
You know, when I think of those times,
do you know what I mean,
398
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,080
she kind of brought us up on her own, really.
399
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,000
And three lads,
particularly one of them being Liam,
400
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,080
it was very tricky.
401
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,401
I mean, she gave it all up for us,
you know what I mean?
402
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,120
I wanted to make her proud.
403
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,000
I wanted to get her to stop from doing,
like, three fucking jobs
404
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,765
and put her feet up, you know what I mean,
and have nice things.
405
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,083
I hated it when I came over here first.
406
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,040
It was a big shock, I'm telling you,
to come to a big city like Manchester.
407
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,720
Oh, I must have cried for about six months.
408
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,690
It was after the New Year,
I think it was 1963.
409
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,843
I went to the carousel and met him there.
410
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,080
Tommy Gallagher.
411
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,160
We got married
after about nine or ten months.
412
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,240
And that was it!
413
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,685
He was lovely when I met him, like.
414
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,440
Paul arrived ten months after I was married.
415
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,966
Then Noel arrived a year after that again.
416
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,000
We were dressed identical.
417
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,040
She used to knit our clothes.
418
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:31,360
So you can imagine, you've got no choice.
You couldn't say, "I don't like them, Mum,"
419
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,523
because she's just spent four years
knitting you a jumper.
420
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,680
Liam arrived five-and-a-half years after,
which was great.
421
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,240
Well, that was the best time with the kids.
422
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,720
I don't know, I think there was always
that bit of jealousy with Liam and Noel.
423
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,760
I idolised Paul and Noel
because there were only the two of them,
424
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,440
and Noel was absolutely beautiful
when he was a baby,
425
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,360
and then, of course, Liam comes along,
takes the limelight off you.
426
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,680
He probably thought, "Urgh!"
427
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,570
But you could tell the disagreements
that were there with them.
428
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,520
I was glad they were together in a band.
429
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,444
I would not have wanted Liam
in a band without Noel.
430
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,887
But it all happened too quick,
431
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,525
just too quick altogether.
432
00:25:11,420 --> 00:25:14,049
Good evening, Great Britain!
433
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,485
Hello!
434
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,290
Oasis, are you down there?
435
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,960
- We certainly are.
- Do you fancy having a bit of a chat?
436
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,040
Go on then.
437
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:25,280
"Go on then." There's a story about
you lot getting signed to Creation.
438
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:27,360
Alan McGee saw you in a club in Glasgow.
Is that right?
439
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,920
Don't believe the hype.
440
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,120
No, he did, yeah.
441
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,520
There was like seven people there, I think,
and he was two of them.
442
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:33,600
Right.
443
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,200
And he signed us there and then, on the spot.
444
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,280
Was he drunk?
445
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:39,440
He actually thinks
we're the greatest band in the fucking world.
446
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,047
He's phoned me up,
about fucking 5:00 in the morning,
447
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,200
going, "You know, man,
448
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,807
"we're going to annihilate
the fucking world, man!"
449
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,000
McGee wanted
Bring It On Down to be the first single
450
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,040
and I was fine with that, I love that song.
451
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:55,320
They're just... It's punk.
452
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,560
"You're the outcast, you're the underclass.
453
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,560
"You don't care, but you're living fast."
454
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,800
I just loved it.
455
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,440
I can't say why Bring It On Down was chosen,
456
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,600
but it wasn't coming together.
457
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,887
I don't know what the fuck
was wrong with it, like.
458
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,960
I mean, it would become apparent
why that session didn't work.
459
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,887
It's because our drummer at the time
wasn't the most consistent
460
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,400
from one fucking bar to the next,
never mind one day to the next.
461
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,080
And that's his big moment,
that, a fucking riff.
462
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,162
"Just fucking do it in time, son."
463
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,240
Fucking hell, we're up against it here.
464
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,600
We'd not recorded anything.
465
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,160
Why I chose to write a new song
466
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,200
as opposed to record any of the
others off of Definitely Maybe
467
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,691
is still a little bit of a mystery.
468
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,400
Noel's got the riff, but that's all he's got,
469
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,640
so they're just kind of
knocking this little thing,
470
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,680
which all bands do, you know, a little riff.
471
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,200
Someone had sent out for Chinese,
or fish and chips or something.
472
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,600
Or Chinese fish and chips?
473
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:00,886
I went in the back room
474
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,080
and, as bizarre as it sounds,
wrote Supersonic
475
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:09,007
in about however long it takes
six other guys to eat a Chinese meal.
476
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,600
Then he came back in the room with us.
477
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,001
He said,
"Look, I've just written another song."
478
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:21,360
And we nailed it and mixed it that night.
479
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,640
Rapid, because that's what we'd been doing
every night in the Boardwalk, you know,
480
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,245
and it sounded massive.
481
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,325
Give it up for Oasis, making
their TV debut with Supersonic.
482
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,360
# I need to be myself
483
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,364
# I can't be no one else
484
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,080
# I'm feeling supersonic
485
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,560
# Give me gin and tonic
486
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,120
# You can have it all
487
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,851
# But how much do you want it?
488
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:53,760
# You make me laugh...
489
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,680
We'd done gigs before that
and there were people coming along
490
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,000
because they'd read about us in the press.
491
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,969
But nobody knew any of the songs.
492
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,602
On the day that Supersonic came out,
493
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,320
bang, the crowd were right there,
494
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,880
and I remember people
singing the lyrics to Supersonic.
495
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,840
You know, they're singing your words back
that you've nonsensically wrote down
496
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,570
at fucking 3:00 in the morning.
497
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,120
# You need to find a way
for what you want to say
498
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,885
# But before tomorrow
499
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,569
# 'Cause my friend said he'd take you home
500
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:29,283
# He sits in a corner all alone
501
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,080
# He lives under a waterfall
502
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,120
# Nobody can see him
503
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,160
# Nobody can ever hear him call... #
504
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,481
We'd play a town,
we'd go off and do the next, do the next,
505
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,570
and then come back to that one you did
a few weeks before and do it again.
506
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,489
Trouble seemed to find us at any given point.
507
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,520
We're barred from a full chain of hotels
508
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,841
and honestly, no one would take us anywhere.
509
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,440
I do remember one hotel,
the whole bedroom went out of the window,
510
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,600
mattress, pillows, everything.
511
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,045
If it moves, fling it.
512
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:02,681
Poof.
513
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,920
I could never understand it, you know,
hotel rooms being smashed up.
514
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,720
That's like hard work.
515
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,200
You'd get a sweat on.
516
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,920
What do you do?
Go to bed at 10:00 every night?
517
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,800
I don't think so, you know what I mean?
You only get it once.
518
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,880
You're going to live it to the full.
519
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,405
Have it! And we did!
520
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,640
You can't ask a 21-year-old lad
to be professional, it's like...
521
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,485
It's like, "I don't even understand
that word, what are you on about?"
522
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,240
You're feeling Supersonic? Go to bed at 9:30!
523
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,480
"Give me gin and tonic"?
Get my head down at about 10:30.
524
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,562
Fuck off, mate, you know what I mean?
525
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,960
There was something
very different about this band.
526
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:52,000
It just had a devilish, belligerent,
filthy little sound to it.
527
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,084
Coyle could really mix sound in little clubs.
528
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,160
He was really good at making
it sound fucking epic.
529
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,200
Noel, I didn't understand
what "Feeling Supersonic" meant,
530
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,600
but I'm with you, whatever it is,
I'd die for you right now.
531
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,524
That's how I felt about Oasis.
532
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:09,880
Thank you very much.
533
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,720
Did you get your friends
working for you then,
534
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,000
so you can tour around in a big group?
535
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,525
No, it's just so we can exploit them.
536
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,840
Thing is, if we didn't have them
working for us when we're away,
537
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:18,920
they'd be burgling our houses.
538
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,160
So it's best to have them
on the road with us.
539
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,760
You're being hyped as the best band
around at the moment.
540
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:24,841
Is all the hype true?
541
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,600
- Yeah.
- It is? Good.
542
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,160
The best band about today on the planet.
543
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,241
It's a fact.
544
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:39,605
# I'd shake along with me...
545
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,600
We're in a band, we're into football,
we're into taking drugs, and meeting women
546
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:45,800
and all the rest of it, right?
547
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,560
We won't deny anything
that's been written about us.
548
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,600
Why should we?
They want to write about it, fine.
549
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,720
We're happy with that.
550
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,400
Our music will stand the test of time.
That is a fact.
551
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,880
Right, all this media hype
552
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,122
and all this thing about us being this, that,
and the other, right,
553
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,960
will be dead in a year's time.
554
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,200
Everyone will have forgotten about it.
555
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,487
The records that we make
will be in the shops forever.
556
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,731
# Shake along with me #
557
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,845
It was a wild tour.
558
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,880
At one point, we were going to Amsterdam
to support this band from Wigan, The Verve.
559
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,008
Our first international gig.
560
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,400
So this guy picked us up in a van,
and he's going to be our roadie.
561
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,606
Jason Rhodes.
562
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,920
Marcus got in touch and said,
"Right, do you want to go to Amsterdam?"
563
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,640
I went, "Yeah!"
564
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,080
Up your bum!
565
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,286
I said to him, "All right, nice to meet you.
566
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,080
"Fucking forget that.
Did they give you a float?"
567
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,800
And he said, "No, no, no, that's for petrol."
568
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,120
I said, "Never mind petrol."
569
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,800
And we took the float off him
and then spent about an hour
570
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,480
driving around Manchester getting drugs.
571
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,360
And then set off.
572
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,600
Get on the ferry.
573
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,971
I don't know how we get on the ferry because
we're pissed, but we get on this ferry.
574
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,520
As fate would have it,
there's a load of West Ham fans
575
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,880
on this overnight ferry, it's got a casino
on it and a fucking night club.
576
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,200
The Thursday night ferry to "The 'Dam."
577
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,520
Who goes to Amsterdam
on a ferry for the weekend?
578
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,640
What kind of clientele?
579
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:28,851
The drink of choice for a few hours
was champagne and Jack Daniels slammers.
580
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:35,127
The next thing is that sporadic fighting
is breaking out all round us really.
581
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,960
Liam is very excited by the prospects
of a lot of chaos going on
582
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,680
and he goes and joins in.
583
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,280
Yeah, it was fucking mayhem, man, I loved it.
584
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,640
You can see him running
through the windows along the deck.
585
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:49,720
He's having a great time.
586
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,000
He looks like he's in a school playground
chasing leaves.
587
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,080
Liam at one point said
they'd ran through a casino
588
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,640
and he flung all the roulette shit
off the table as he was running past.
589
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,688
Then there was a fight broke out
590
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,286
and all I remember
was it was a bit "Benny Hill."
591
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:10,240
The next time I see him, he's still running,
but he's got policemen running after him.
592
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,240
Someone's punched someone,
someone's kicked someone.
593
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,920
Someone's got nicked, then we're handcuffed
594
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,200
and sent down to the bottom of the boat,
we get locked up.
595
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,960
Woke up the next day
and I spoke to the Customs and I said,
596
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,360
"Look, you know,
I'm kind of missing four people.
597
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,600
"Do you know where they are?"
598
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,960
We were heading back,
we didn't have any money,
599
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,760
couldn't phone anyone, couldn't do nothing.
600
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,411
I can remember getting to the hotel
and having to ring Marcus and Alan
601
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:35,040
and they're going,
"You fucking what? You what?"
602
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,885
And he says,
"You've fucking blown it, you've blown it."
603
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,920
But that was punk rock, man!
I just went, "Fuck them!"
604
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,765
I never listened to a word those clowns said
anyway, you know what I mean?
605
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,400
I called McGee, and I'll never forget this
and this is another reason why I love McGee,
606
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,200
I said, "Are you sitting down?
I've got some news.
607
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:50,960
"Everybody's been arrested."
608
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,849
The only word he said was, "Brilliant."
609
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,740
A hell of a start that, isn't it?
That's a great first day at work. Love it!
610
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,520
Oasis were deported from Holland last week
611
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,120
after they were involved in a drunken brawl
on a cross-Channel ferry.
612
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,760
The Creation act were forced to cancel...
613
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,360
I thought it was game. That's how
I want my rock 'n roll stars to act.
614
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,360
Stick up for themselves,
get in a bit of shenanigans and that's it.
615
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,840
We lived to fight another day.
616
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,570
To me, it felt right.
617
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,840
The thing about getting thrown off ferries,
618
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,686
blah, blah, blah, getting deported
is summat that I'm not proud about.
619
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,800
Well, I am.
620
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,645
Right, well, if you're proud about
getting thrown off ferries,
621
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,800
then why don't you go and support West Ham
and get the fuck out of my band?
622
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,480
These lot think it's rock 'n roll
to get thrown off a ferry.
623
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:33,920
- No I don't
- To get... Shut up!
624
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,480
These lot think it's rock 'n roll to get...
625
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,080
Shut the fuck up, man!
626
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,762
These lot think...
627
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,442
Am I going to have to say this
part or are you going to shut up?
628
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,480
- Is this my question?
- This is your question.
629
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:54,120
No, I ain't a hooligan.
I'm not a hooligan. Right?
630
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,440
Obviously, once you get that reputation,
631
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,040
there's always someone
who's going to go, "Well, I'll show him."
632
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,011
If it'd never been in the paper, having a ruck,
that probably wouldn't have happened.
633
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:21,960
There was a full section of the tour,
it was just going off every night.
634
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,280
I felt that people were turning up
to cause trouble.
635
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,044
It was getting me down, if I'm being honest.
636
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,841
Fucking dick!
637
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,720
We were getting a reputation
as these bad boys of rock 'n roll.
638
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,560
"That's all fucking great,
but can we talk about the music first?"
639
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,840
I think any band worth their salt,
it's not about just the music.
640
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,920
If you haven't got that kind of behaviour
and you've just got great tunes,
641
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,840
then you're fucking pretty boring,
as far as I'm concerned.
642
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:01,960
It's about both.
643
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,805
When both come together,
you'll have greatness.
644
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,120
We showed their video
a good couple of months ago.
645
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,240
They've wasted no time in releasing
a new single, Shakermaker,
646
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,960
Noel and Liam from Oasis.
647
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,281
Thanks for interrupting your hectic schedule.
648
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,688
What's it like being brothers in a band?
649
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,044
He's speechless. Look at that.
650
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,520
It's all right. I think it's all right, me.
I think it's very, very funny.
651
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,760
I mean, if you row,
what sort of things do you row about?
652
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,240
Everything. Everything.
We don't even have to row.
653
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,560
All we got to do is look at each other
in a certain kind of way
654
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,880
and we row without even opening our mouth.
655
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,440
We're just going, "Grrr" inside our heads,
you know what I mean?
656
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,520
I hate the term "sibling rivalry,"
but that's effectively what it is.
657
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,320
I know my brother better than anybody else.
658
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,165
Liam's like a dog, and I'm like a cat.
659
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,360
Cats are very independent creatures.
660
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,840
They don't give a fuck, right bastards.
661
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,160
Dogs are just fucking,
"Play with me, play with me.
662
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:05,000
"Please fucking throw that ball for me."
663
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,720
Because they fucking need some company.
664
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,361
It's as basic as that,
can't change the way that you are.
665
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,000
I'm a cat, okay? That's just what I am.
666
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,686
I've accepted it. I'm a bit of a bastard.
667
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,610
What can I say, you know?
I'm a bit of a cunt.
668
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,840
They are two brothers, grew up together,
669
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,240
one's one way, one's the other.
670
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,080
Noel has a lot of buttons.
671
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,731
Liam has a lot of fingers.
It's that simple, really.
672
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,600
It's about a power struggle, is what it is.
673
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,880
It's about me being in charge
674
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,920
and everybody directing
everything towards me,
675
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,240
and Liam being pissed off about it.
676
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,561
That's basically what starts it all.
677
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,000
I think it all stems down
to when he bought a stereo years ago
678
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,003
when we shared a room.
679
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,040
I think one night I've come in pissed,
680
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,045
and I couldn't find the light switch,
so I pissed all over his fucking new stereo.
681
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,760
I think it basically boils down to that.
He's held that grudge.
682
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,410
You let go of them grudges, brother!
683
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,364
Democracy never works in a band.
684
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,400
It's been proven a million times.
685
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,600
And the trouble you had with Oasis is
686
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,889
you had two people
vying for the Prime Minister job.
687
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,960
That tension, that antagonism,
it drove that band,
688
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,442
and it killed that band, is what it did.
689
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,602
No lifting of the arms.
690
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:45,760
He got a better stance than me.
691
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,642
He's a dick! Official!
692
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,842
Yeah, but, anyway. Right?
693
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,320
It's all about what's inside
the fucking tin of beans that counts,
694
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,560
not what the fucking wrapper is,
or how much it costs,
695
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,920
or who you buy it off,
or what till you get it from.
696
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,960
Or even whether it's your Spar,
your Kwiksave, or your fucking Sainsbury's.
697
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,240
Man, it's about what's inside
the tin of beans, man.
698
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,000
And, like, if it's right, it's right.
699
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,760
If this ever goes on, like,
a video, for the kids, right,
700
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,040
I would apologise, but I'm not going to!
Because he's a prick!
701
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,690
Check it out!
702
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,470
One-two, one-two, one. One... Two?
703
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,720
When people go,
"Oh, what's the best thing about Oasis?"
704
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,000
It's just getting that chance
to record our album
705
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,600
because we knew
we weren't going to fuck it up.
706
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:41,681
We were ripping, man!
707
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:45,280
So, we'd been to Monnow Valley.
708
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,567
We recorded what we thought
was a great album.
709
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:52,249
Everybody else surrounding the band
kept chanting this mantra,
710
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,120
"Oh, it doesn't sound like they do live,
it doesn't sound like they do live."
711
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,965
I was like, "Well, who does it
fucking sound like, Spandau Ballet?"
712
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,725
# Is it my imagination
713
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:16,284
# Or have I finally found
something worth living for?
714
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,291
I said to Noel Gallagher,
"It's not good enough."
715
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,171
I knew what Oasis should sound like
'cause I'd seen it live
716
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,049
and I just knew the performances were wrong.
717
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,520
At one point, he was so frustrated
by the whole thing,
718
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,321
he went, "Look, why don't we just put it out
and we'll get it right in the second album?"
719
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,450
And I went,
"You'll never get to the second album."
720
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,080
# 'Cause when it comes on top
721
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,562
# You got to make it happen
722
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,651
It was not happening.
The pressure was definitely on.
723
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,046
I phoned up Marcus one Saturday morning.
724
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,800
I'd be interested to know
why they took that risk,
725
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,720
just putting me in charge of that.
726
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,920
No track record whatsoever.
727
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,765
The thinking is, "Who does the live sound?"
728
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,565
"Mark does. So let's go do it live."
729
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,485
Time for plan B on Definitely Maybe.
730
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,040
And thank God for that, you know, because
we all knew that Coyle understood us.
731
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,010
He always made us sound how we should sound.
732
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,080
We hit upon this system in the Sawmills,
everything was crowded around the drum kit.
733
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,440
We'd just do three takes
of each song and then move on.
734
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:38,560
I would have thought that
735
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,486
that album was recorded
in three days, maximum.
736
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:49,287
But, I started mixing
and it didn't really sound very good.
737
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,287
I think at that stage,
I'd took it as far as I could.
738
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,680
I do remember taking a cassette,
the final mix we did with Mark,
739
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,000
to McGee's flat
740
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,240
and sensing that he was
completely underwhelmed by it.
741
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,607
And me thinking, "Oh, fuck it, I give up!"
742
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,450
Marcus announces that he's going to get
Owen Morris to do a mix on spec.
743
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,920
Marcus got me in because
I don't think he knew anybody else.
744
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,162
So I was very lucky to be in the right place.
745
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,680
And I'm thinking, "What has he done?
You know, I don't get it."
746
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,491
He did one mix and it was just outrageous.
747
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,000
We did a session. That's where I met Liam.
748
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,640
And I told him he sounded like John Lennon
749
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:47,080
and he was like, "You got it!"
at, like, 1:00 in the afternoon.
750
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,322
Liam, lead vocal, rock 'n roll star.
751
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:55,846
# I live my life in the city
and there's no easy way out
752
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,681
# The day's moving just too fast for me... #
753
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,360
Noel was like, "That sounds great.
That'll do."
754
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,488
And they let me do exactly what I wanted.
755
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,720
And there was this new box
and you could make things twice as loud
756
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,680
without going into digital distortion
on your CD.
757
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,084
It was in every fucking jukebox in the country,
twice as loud. It was funny as fuck, man.
758
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,080
It's just a pity
that Definitely Maybe came out
759
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,360
and then we didn't see Alan
for a couple of years.
760
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:25,840
I took too many drugs.
761
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,040
More and more and more,
that's what we were all about,
762
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,407
and eventually it was too much.
763
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,760
It's just that's what happens, isn't it?
When you play with fire, mate.
764
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,491
Some people can last the pace,
some people can't.
765
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,410
Do you know what?
I don't regret any of that shit.
766
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:40,920
That's just life.
767
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,880
We didn't know it then,
but he was the last of a dying breed.
768
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,200
He's up there with the most important people
In my life, you know what I mean,
769
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,770
that's made a fucking real difference.
770
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,604
Twelve songs that are about being
alive and having a good time.
771
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,120
About being happy. About enjoying yourself.
772
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,920
And then about being sad,
you know what I mean?
773
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,400
But knowing that it can get better.
774
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:03,641
About everything. Just life.
775
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:28,600
Their debut album is already being
hailed as a classic of our time.
776
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,320
A year ago,
they were playing to empty venues.
777
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,400
Last night, they embarked
on their first UK sell-out tour.
778
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,960
One of the biggest British
bands since the Beatles.
779
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,120
There isn't a band like Oasis.
780
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,600
They're trying to get the youth culture
out of raves, taking drugs and stuff,
781
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,047
and back into the gigs, where they belong.
782
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,640
And they're really good,
and Liam Gallagher is just gorgeous
783
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:50,484
and I'll have his children!
784
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,000
Our first single came out
in England four months ago.
785
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,120
It went into the charts at number 32.
786
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,000
Everyone said an indie band can't do that.
787
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,640
Well, the album's gone out
and it's gone in straight at number one
788
00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:04,160
above Pavarotti, above Prince,
even above Elvis.
789
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:06,925
The fastest-selling debut album
of all time in England,
790
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,485
and quite deservedly so.
791
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,760
- Here's Rock 'n Roll Star. Here they are!
- # That to me was just a day in bed
792
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,400
# I'm gonna take my car and drive real far
793
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,529
# You're not concerned about the way we are
794
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,963
# In my mind my dreams are real
795
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,805
# Now you're concerned about the way I feel
796
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:30,331
# Tonight I'm a rock 'n roll star
797
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:36,328
# Tonight I'm a rock 'n roll star
798
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,529
# It's just rock 'n roll
799
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,327
# It's just rock 'n roll
800
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,569
# It's just rock 'n roll #
801
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,408
Thank you very much.
802
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,480
So next thing you know,
we were going to Japan.
803
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:17,600
What do you expect?
804
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,760
I've never been to Japan, so you think,
"All right, I'm prepared," you know.
805
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:25,240
No. Nothing ever on this planet
was going to prepare me.
806
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,209
Japan! Japan!
807
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,803
We arrived in Japan and there were,
fucking, like, 1,000 girls at the airport.
808
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,040
People waiting for us and shouting my name!
809
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,560
"Liam, Liam! Noel! Guigs! Tony!"
810
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,160
It was just, like, "Fuck off! This is Japan?
811
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:40,520
"But they know my name?"
812
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,680
"Yeah, of course they do!"
It got me and I loved it.
813
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,728
I loved every last minute of it.
814
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,000
Fucking hell, they followed us everywhere,
815
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,920
outside hotels, in the fucking foyer,
816
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,402
outside your room, in your fucking room,
everywhere you went.
817
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:56,960
It was like mania, you know what I mean?
818
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,804
It was like what we'd always read about.
819
00:47:01,500 --> 00:47:04,967
First time in Japan.
First time on a jumbo plane.
820
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,841
It was just mental,
you know what I mean? Just mad!
821
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,284
Just, you're all off your heads,
and it's mad.
822
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,925
And it's top! I love youse all.
823
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,290
I absolutely loved Japan.
824
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:18,521
It was fucking mayhem.
825
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,040
Guigs wasn't too keen on it, he was like,
826
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,680
"Oh, I don't know
what they're fussing about."
827
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,570
And I'm like, "Me, you fucking lunatic!
That's what they're fussing about!"
828
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:28,886
Where's the toilet?
829
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,280
# Is it my imagination
830
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:48,491
# Or have I finally found
something worth living for?
831
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,765
# I was looking for some action
832
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:05,361
# But all I found
was cigarettes and alcohol...
833
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,801
That might have been the one time in my life
where I thought, "Fucking hell! Wow!
834
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,200
"How has it landed here?
835
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,200
"Why are all these people
who don't speak English
836
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:15,360
"obsessed with it already
837
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,249
"before we even fucking
plugged in and played?"
838
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:22,240
# To spend your days in the sunshine
839
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,360
# You might as well do the white line
840
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,480
# 'Cause when it comes on top
841
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,640
# You got to make it happen
842
00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:35,200
# You got to make it happen #
843
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,284
I was writing for a "Nancy Boys" magazine
as far as they were concerned.
844
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,962
I knew that I was ten years older than them.
845
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,080
I was female, and it was all blokes.
846
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:51,920
I was a mum, and I just thought,
847
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,240
"Right. I'm going to stay up later than you,
I'm going to drink more than you,
848
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,160
"I'm going to behave more badly than you,"
849
00:48:57,240 --> 00:48:59,641
because I wasn't going
to get this story otherwise.
850
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,480
The first night in Japan, we'd all been out
851
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,560
and it had been about 3:00 in the morning.
852
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,880
My head had just hit the pillow,
and the phone rang.
853
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:12,961
"Who's calling me?"
854
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,840
I picked up the phone and it was Liam.
855
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,480
"Get down here now!"
856
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,640
So I walked down the corridor
back into their room
857
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:26,040
and Liam said to me, and honestly,
it was like he was shimmering,
858
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:30,720
he just said to me, "Do you believe in God?
Do you think there's a God?"
859
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,800
And, I sort of looked at him and I said,
860
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,320
"How did we get on to this one?"
861
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,240
And he said,
"Because I don't believe there's a God,
862
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,920
"because if there was a God,
all that wouldn't have happened."
863
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,960
And I said, "What wouldn't have happened?"
864
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,320
I didn't know what he was on about.
865
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,847
There was all this pent-up simmering rage.
866
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,520
I was definitely angry with life and that,
I guess, you know.
867
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:58,764
You know, I mean,
shit with my dad and just life in general.
868
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,200
I was an angry young man,
869
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,920
so singing them songs sort of
released all my shit onto other people,
870
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,604
but in a good way, you know what I mean?
871
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,566
My dad, he used to knock my mum about.
872
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,685
There were many times when,
like, it got like that.
873
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,688
He never touched me,
I don't know why he didn't.
874
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,200
You know, sometimes he'd fucking,
he'd want the craic
875
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,123
instead of having to witness it.
876
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,080
He used to kill Noel.
877
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,766
Noel was the one that got it the most.
878
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,760
I remember Noel once saying, "If you don't
get out of here, Mum, and leave him,"
879
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,560
he says, "I'm going to kill him."
880
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,689
And I thought, "Oh, Jesus. You can't
be doing time for the likes of him."
881
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,040
Yeah, my dad used to beat
the living daylights out of me.
882
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:48,000
I've never felt compelled
to either talk about it or write about it.
883
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,162
I know that I think
it's no one else's business.
884
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,560
You can't let that kind of thing
affect you in any way
885
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,406
because then you're carrying
that weight all the way through life.
886
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,120
He always thought, "You'd never leave him
because you had nowhere to go to."
887
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,283
"You'll never leave me."
I said, "Won't I? Try it."
888
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,604
One night, we got the courage to get out
889
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,046
and I left him a knife
and a fork and a spoon,
890
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,880
and I think I left him too much.
891
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,009
He never once come after us, wouldn't dare.
892
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,367
It was a sense
of "See you later, we're free!"
893
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,927
It definitely affected them,
because they got very bitter.
894
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:30,360
I wouldn't say I was scarred,
895
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,330
but everybody's childhood
makes them what they are.
896
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,207
You can't think about it too deeply
because it would fucking drive you mad.
897
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,720
I think it benefitted me in the way
that it made me withdraw into my own world
898
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,804
and from that
came the learning to play the guitar.
899
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:53,162
I guess, in some way,
my old fella beat the talent into me.
900
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,520
On Live 105, Oasis.
901
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:04,601
Supersonic, yeah?
902
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,640
The contrast of getting
on a plane and coming from Japan,
903
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,240
where the mania was like, fucking, "Blam!"
904
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:23,760
Then getting to America,
where nobody had heard of us,
905
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,240
that didn't freak me out.
906
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,483
I was ready to start again,
you know what I mean?
907
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,160
But I also knew
908
00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:33,449
that you won't get anywhere
on attitude in the States.
909
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:34,641
You've got be able to play.
910
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:38,920
I went over there with definitely
a fucking chip on my shoulder,
911
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,560
but a good chip, you know what I mean?
912
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,720
It was like, "Look, we're going to fucking
have youse and if you like us, great,
913
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,245
"if you don't, I don't give a shit."
914
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,560
American Customs then asked a question
915
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,529
that would fucking blow Liam's mind,
you know what I mean?
916
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:51,800
Right, who've we got here then?
917
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,800
He's a singer.
918
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:55,480
"What's the purpose of your visit?"
919
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,120
"You what?" "Not a fucking visit.
920
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,009
"I'm not visiting, mate,
I'm a fucking rock star.
921
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:01,920
"I'm here to steal your soul."
922
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,480
"Okay, you can follow me now, sir.
You're coming this way."
923
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,840
There's always pressure that's on
the bands to break America as well,
924
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:17,160
you know, but breaking America
quite often breaks the fucking band
925
00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:21,760
because they're that concerned about it
and it's that vast. Fuck me, man.
926
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:23,680
You have a good time and all that,
but I'll tell you what,
927
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,840
when you get home,
your carpet don't look the same.
928
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,971
And we've got the two Gallagher
brothers from the band Oasis.
929
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,840
And you're playing at the Whisky tonight.
Is it sold out, do you know?
930
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,040
Of course it's sold out.
931
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:35,320
Okay, and what have you been doing?
932
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,080
We've just been doing loads
of interviews, and gigs.
933
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,080
Working. Melissa's been
making us work dead hard.
934
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,200
She's on top.
935
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,480
I think what they said
was there were some interviews
936
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,720
and hanging out and doing work and stuff.
937
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,440
- You're right.
- I'll be the translator here.
938
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,680
Diddle-diddle-diddle-diddle
939
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:50,966
Anything else?
940
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,600
Someone had discovered
the joys of crystal meth,
941
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,480
which is effectively like ninja speed.
942
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,400
It's not even fun, you know what I mean?
It's a fucking horrible drug.
943
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:01,720
I don't know who fucking got it,
944
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,485
but it was there
and we all thought it was coke.
945
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,280
And we were doing big fucking lines of it
and it just fucking kept us up for days.
946
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:10,840
Everybody had a dig at it.
947
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,840
The only problem with that
is that you couldn't get to sleep.
948
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:14,920
You couldn't sleep.
949
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,880
Right, I don't mind having a dig
at anything as long as, you know,
950
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,725
about 10:30 at night,
I have a cup of tea and go to bed.
951
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,200
The Whisky a Go Go
on Sunset Strip, fucking hell,
952
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,567
it's the most famous club in LA.
953
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:28,841
We get to the sound check,
954
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,482
everybody's been up all night
and looked like it.
955
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:36,285
All right, LA, Whisky a Go Go.
This is the spot.
956
00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:38,320
The best band in Britain.
957
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,585
I say they're the best band in the universe.
958
00:54:42,720 --> 00:54:45,302
None other than Oasis!
959
00:54:45,720 --> 00:54:46,881
All right, Oasis!
960
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:48,607
And there you have it.
961
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,847
This one's called Rock 'n Roll Star.
962
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,840
# I live my life in the city
and there's no easy way out...
963
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,040
Everyone was appalling.
964
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,800
Every member of the crew,
every member of the fucking band
965
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,120
because of crystal meth.
966
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,680
Phil Smith, our roadie,
967
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,920
who was responsible
for putting the set lists out,
968
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,685
for some reason, my set list
was different to everybody else's.
969
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,724
# You're not concerned
about the way we are...
970
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,720
They were all playing different songs
at the same time.
971
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,802
"Whoa! What's going on here?"
972
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,320
# Tonight I'm a rock 'n roll star...
973
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,961
It was a shambles, man.
It was an absolute fucking shambles.
974
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,970
# Tonight I'm a rock 'n roll... #
975
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,323
Do it again for you, you know?
976
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,400
The whole thing just fell apart.
977
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:00,960
I've never seen it with this band before.
978
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:02,360
All right, Rock 'n Roll Star.
979
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:03,441
Again.
980
00:56:07,240 --> 00:56:09,560
I think there were a lot of tension on stage,
981
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,449
a lot of gesturing between Noel and Liam.
982
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,480
Well, more from Liam to Noel.
983
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,800
And then the tambourine came flying.
984
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:16,920
I think he said summat
985
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,400
and I fucking launched the tambourine
at him or summat.
986
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,400
Not like the Bruce Lee throwing-star
or a fucking lightsabre,
987
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:23,480
it was a tambourine.
988
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,000
But when it hit me on the shoulder
it went, "Tshhh!"
989
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,411
Out of time, I might add.
990
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,406
It was lucky I didn't fucking launch a monitor
at him or summat, or a fucking drummer.
991
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:33,641
What?
992
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,960
I could see Liam was going behind one
of the amps throughout the gig, man,
993
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,880
and he was just snorting lines
of crystal meth on stage.
994
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:43,610
"That's going to go tits up, isn't it?"
995
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,400
It was a bit of a catastrophe.
996
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,164
Yeah. I was in a fury.
997
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,040
I left a little bit of me
on that stage that night.
998
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,408
After that night, it was more
"me and them" as opposed to "us".
999
00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:10,040
I remember going back to the hotel
and saying to Maggie, our tour manager,
1000
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:11,720
I think I took the float off her.
1001
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:13,564
Noel was quite upset about it.
1002
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,080
He said, "Can you give me money?"
And I said, "Well, what do you want?"
1003
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,800
He goes, "Well, enough money
to go back home."
1004
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,850
So I just gave him, like, $700.
That's all I had, I said, you know.
1005
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,408
He said, "Can I have my passport?"
So I gave him his passport.
1006
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,240
But I remember ringing up Marcus
saying, "He's going to leave,"
1007
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:27,800
and he was like,
"No, no, no, he'll be fine, be fine.
1008
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:29,400
"He's going to sleep it off,
it'll be fine, be fine."
1009
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,642
I was like, "Oh, no, I don't think so!"
1010
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:35,200
I don't know what I was thinking.
1011
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,806
Maybe I thought it was the end,
I really don't know.
1012
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,240
He takes the money and runs.
1013
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,200
I remember some fucking soppy note
coming through the door, saying, like,
1014
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,400
"How can we go on like brothers?"
1015
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,360
It was like, "Fuck right off!"
1016
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:48,480
So that got rolled up
1017
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,904
and then another line of crystal meth
went up the old fucking tubular bells.
1018
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,640
So, I woke up in the morning
and I found a note underneath my door
1019
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,162
and I opened it up, and I knew it.
He said, "I'm leaving." "Bollocks!"
1020
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,121
He's gone missing. Nobody knows where he is.
1021
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:05,680
There's our songwriter gone.
1022
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,206
"Shit! I think it's really over, isn't it?"
1023
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,600
I came up with this idea.
1024
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:15,080
I got his bill and then I traced
all the last numbers he rang.
1025
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,920
And then I noticed there was
one number "415,"
1026
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,040
and I thought, "Ah, San Francisco."
1027
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:21,600
We've just been to San Francisco
1028
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,720
and I knew that he had
some little fling over there.
1029
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,760
Marcus said, "I'm going to ring the number."
1030
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,920
So he gets her on the phone and he says,
"You know, we're not saying anything,
1031
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,040
"but obviously, legally,
he's a missing person, you know.
1032
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,000
"We're going to have to have
to get the police involved."
1033
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,651
And the minute he hung up the phone,
I said, "He's there."
1034
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,960
Let me see if I can get
my story straight here.
1035
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,611
I met this girl at an Oasis gig.
1036
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,600
I must have phoned her
and said, "It's fucked up here."
1037
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,320
And I got on a plane
and flew off to San Francisco.
1038
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:52,800
I don't know
what the fuck I thought I was doing.
1039
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,400
I was just going to, like,
disappear, you know.
1040
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,680
It was quite a traumatic time.
1041
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:02,000
But Talk Tonight
was written about those few days
1042
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,526
and out of that came that great song.
1043
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:06,320
So it was meant to be.
1044
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:07,561
It was meant to be.
1045
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:09,960
# Sleeping on a plane
1046
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,880
# You know you can't complain
1047
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:18,280
# You took your last chance once again
1048
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:24,970
# I landed, stranded
1049
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,641
# Hardly even knew your name
1050
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,568
# I want to talk tonight
1051
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:40,601
# Until the morning light
1052
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:46,251
# About how you saved my life
1053
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,607
# You and me see how we are #
1054
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,920
I kind of sat in this girl's flat,
probably doing too many fucking drugs
1055
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,411
and being a bit fucking mad.
1056
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:03,246
Unbeknown to me, they'd found out,
"This is where we think he is."
1057
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,120
If I close my eyes now,
I can't even picture the girl.
1058
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,090
I can't remember her name,
it's a bit of a blur.
1059
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:12,960
You meet them people in America,
1060
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,200
you don't meet them
anywhere else in the world.
1061
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,960
They take you under their wing, you know.
1062
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,120
They're spiritual people is what they are.
1063
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:22,531
She was one of them.
1064
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,440
She was saying, "What, you're going to leave?
1065
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:27,520
"And what are you going to do?"
1066
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,440
And I guess at that point I'm thinking,
"Actually, that's a very good point.
1067
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,330
"What am I going to do?"
I can't sing. I wasn't a singer then.
1068
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,280
I'm not a front man.
1069
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,200
I just needed a bit of time out, I guess.
1070
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,280
I may have been trying
to teach somebody a lesson.
1071
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,408
I failed miserably.
1072
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,680
I think we'd heard about a couple of days
that, "Yes, he's coming back."
1073
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,400
It means the band is staying together
1074
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,448
rather than going home
and signing on the dole.
1075
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,080
And obviously,
by the time he's about to turn up,
1076
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,600
everyone's fucking shitting it,
because, you know,
1077
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,604
because he can put on a stern face.
1078
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:01,324
You know, he can unsettle you.
1079
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:07,569
The new era started
when he walked back into that hotel
1080
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:10,360
and everything was different after that.
1081
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,400
And we all had to be different
1082
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,562
because if you're not with him,
you're going home.
1083
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,400
I'd written these new songs.
1084
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,482
Someone had booked a recording session.
1085
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,160
Like this was Oasis'
fucking cure for everything.
1086
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:23,880
"Let's go in the studio."
1087
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:28,400
Talk Tonight,
well, that's one moody fucking song, that.
1088
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:33,160
It shows that delicate side to him...
1089
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:35,960
...that you just don't really see.
1090
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,520
He doesn't show these emotions, Noel.
He never did.
1091
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:44,240
Apart from when you stick him
behind the glass with a microphone,
1092
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,800
and then he can let this emotion loose
that he's got
1093
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,531
and suddenly you can see "Noel."
1094
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:56,925
You kind of see, almost,
a little boy or summat, you know.
1095
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:00,681
Something very, very innocent and very pure.
1096
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:04,920
They're my favourite moments.
1097
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,800
It's like a door opens
and a bit of light comes in,
1098
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,282
and then the door's shut again, you know,
and he's calling you a twat.
1099
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:24,730
# Some might say
that sunshine follows thunder... #
1100
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,760
In those days, I would write every day
because I was fucking so driven.
1101
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:33,926
I recognised that I was in a moment
and everything that I wrote felt great.
1102
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,680
There's a strange melancholy
to Some Might Say
1103
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,640
considering I knew
it was going to be number one
1104
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,240
before I even sat and wrote it.
1105
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:45,401
I fucking knew it.
1106
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:48,490
What is going on in this room now?
1107
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,440
You can walk next door to Boyzone,
yeah, go in there.
1108
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,490
They'll be like, "Hey, fuck, oh, Jesus...
1109
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,920
"We've got to get this fucking thing
together now, because it's not in time.
1110
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,447
"It's not in time,
just fucking me and you going like, 'Huh!"'
1111
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,880
You go in there and you hear,
"Hey, do that, hey!"
1112
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,040
You come in this room and it's like,
you know, it's the funny farm.
1113
01:03:08,220 --> 01:03:09,840
And that's what it's all about, it's like,
1114
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,040
"Do what you friggin' want."
If you want to go like that, do it,
1115
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,480
because it don't mean nothing.
If you want to go... Do that.
1116
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:19,600
If you want to go...
"Hey, fuck man." Like, "Hey, fuck," right?
1117
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:20,720
You can do that.
1118
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,720
But if you want to just do this...
1119
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,121
...what I'm doing here now,
just do it, because it's like...
1120
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,200
This is an advert for not taking drugs.
1121
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:29,960
This is an advert? It's an advert?
1122
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,320
This is an advert for not getting
into chemical abuse, big time.
1123
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,040
No, no, hey, hey, hey!
1124
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:37,280
People who know,
know that I have not been a fucking...
1125
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:38,520
I've never been an abuser.
1126
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,600
I've never been an abuser, I've been a user.
1127
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,200
I've never been an abuser, man.
Nothing to do with drugs.
1128
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,440
It's to do with the air,
the air, man, and music.
1129
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,600
And that is it, that is it,
and I'm ranting now, come on!
1130
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:52,841
You know what I mean? It's right.
1131
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:54,411
That's it. That's it.
1132
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:56,240
Giving a performance of their brand-new song.
1133
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,642
It's the best song around.
It is Some Might Say!
1134
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:19,930
# Some might say that
sunshine follows thunder
1135
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:28,482
# Go and tell it to the man
who cannot shine #
1136
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:32,808
Yeah, and that was Tony's last gig.
1137
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,560
Yeah, I'd probably made up my mind
1138
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,680
knowing that Champagne Supernova
was coming up
1139
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,720
and Don't Look Back In Anger, and Wonderwall,
1140
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,883
that he wasn't going to be
able to play those songs.
1141
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,280
It had become apparent
recording Definitely Maybe.
1142
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:53,400
We spent a lot of time fucking about
trying to get the drums right.
1143
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:54,561
And it was never right.
1144
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:57,524
When we were doing Some Might Say and stuff,
1145
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:58,920
Noel was like, to me,
1146
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,720
"That's the fucking last time
he's ever in the fucking studio."
1147
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,640
I was going to Tony, "Tony, you've got to get
your shit together, Tony.
1148
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:06,131
"Or bye, Tony."
1149
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:10,247
Drummers are really smelly,
useless, talentless losers, man.
1150
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,080
I mean, fancy having a job
where you bang things all day.
1151
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:15,160
I thought orangutans do that, don't they?
1152
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:16,640
Gorillas and monkeys and that.
1153
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:20,410
They just bang things, like bang dustbin lids
on their heads and all that.
1154
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:21,920
Well, that's what they do, isn't it?
1155
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,800
And drummers just do it
and get paid loads of money for it.
1156
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,008
Fucking sack them all.
Drum machines, I say, man.
1157
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,080
I'm telling you,
can't wait to say I'm in a dance band.
1158
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,840
Press the button, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."
Doesn't answer back, don't have to feed it.
1159
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:32,640
Don't have to pay no money,
don't have to buy it any drugs.
1160
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:34,360
Don't have to get it any women,
don't have to do nothing.
1161
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,000
Put it on a flight,
"Fuck it, in the back of the truck,"
1162
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:37,827
and never have to speak to it again.
1163
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:42,520
As it went through that American tour,
it got really nasty with Tony,
1164
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,760
and you'd have to feel for the boy.
1165
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,562
I'd hold my hands up and say,
I gave him a terrible time as well.
1166
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,000
And I shared a room with him.
1167
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:53,200
Tony would just pour it out, you know.
1168
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:54,560
"Fucking hell, Bonehead, do you know?
1169
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,040
"People are getting at me,
and people are doing this?"
1170
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,407
It was hard for me
to be the guy in the middle.
1171
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,368
Maybe I talked to Noel, talked to Liam,
"Look, go easy on the guy, man."
1172
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:06,560
I was quite a reserved guy.
1173
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,400
I think people might have looked
at that as some kind of weakness,
1174
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:12,960
but no, I didn't want to be the leader.
1175
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:14,804
I'll sit back here and do my drums.
1176
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,000
You know, like, when a pack of feral dogs
exclude one puppy,
1177
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:20,320
it became like that, I think.
1178
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,400
Our Kid, I just think, made his mind up,
you know what I mean,
1179
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:25,800
and just didn't fancy him.
1180
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:27,680
"He's not going to be
able to do these next songs."
1181
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,206
Or "I don't want him to do it,"
you know what I mean?
1182
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:34,123
Yeah, I mean, I'm gutted for him,
but it is what it is, man.
1183
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:36,680
I had an argument with Noel.
1184
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:38,880
He said something,
and I finally went, "Fuck you, mate."
1185
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:40,640
You know what I mean, "Fuck off."
1186
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,520
I told him in no uncertain words
what I thought of him.
1187
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,045
I kind of regret that a touch.
1188
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:50,080
We might have had words.
It's quite likely, I don't know.
1189
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:54,324
Whatever he says is probably true.
I wouldn't deny it at all.
1190
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:57,800
I was at home and Marcus phoned.
1191
01:06:57,880 --> 01:06:59,640
He says, "Are you sat down?
1192
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:03,720
"Listen, I've got some bad news for you.
The band want you out."
1193
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:06,040
I was shell-shocked.
1194
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,440
Still, to this day, it's with me.
1195
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:10,841
I think about it every day,
believe it or not.
1196
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:13,600
Hard for him, you know, poor old Tony,
1197
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:17,321
but all of a sudden it's like,
"Shit! We need another drummer."
1198
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,571
Paul Weller's drummer
had a brother called Alan.
1199
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,960
And I was going, "Right, cool,
I'm arsed, what does he look like?"
1200
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:24,041
"Smegly little mod."
1201
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:25,970
"Cool. Let's get him down here."
1202
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,800
And I'd never met this guy before.
1203
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,480
He starts talking about the drums
1204
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:36,167
and I'm like, "I'm fucking not interested
in how you can play.
1205
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,961
"As long as you look the part, you'll do.
1206
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:41,920
"By the way, you're doing
Top of The Pops on Wednesday."
1207
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:43,161
And that was his first thing.
1208
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,560
# Some might say
1209
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:50,122
# We will find a brighter day
1210
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,040
# Some might say
1211
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,920
# We will find a brighter day
1212
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,680
# Yeah, 'cause I've been
standing at the station
1213
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:08,003
# In need of education in the rain
1214
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,520
# You made no preparation
1215
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,763
# For my reputation once again
1216
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:20,604
# Some might say
1217
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:22,526
# Some might say #
1218
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:26,360
Morning Glory was incredibly quick and easy.
1219
01:08:26,440 --> 01:08:29,880
Rockfield, the posh studio,
fucking Queen and all that.
1220
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,360
Fucking Bohemian Rhapsody and all that.
1221
01:08:32,440 --> 01:08:35,840
Don't film me, Tim. Seriously.
1222
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:37,280
Film him, Tim, film him.
1223
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:38,520
He's giving birth?
1224
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:39,931
I'm fucking knackered.
1225
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:41,531
Right, play this track, man.
1226
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:44,445
This is the nerve centre,
the bridge as we call this.
1227
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:45,561
Full steam ahead!
1228
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:49,040
Oh, I don't know where a fucking light is.
I don't know where anything is at the moment.
1229
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,240
But you know where the top is, don't you?
1230
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:53,004
Because that's where we're going, Morris.
1231
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,531
- The topmost of the most popper most.
- That's us.
1232
01:08:57,480 --> 01:08:59,960
Noel had the songs and the arrangements
1233
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:03,240
and he was totally in control of the band,
1234
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:07,480
so that first week of Morning Glory,
we were doing a song a day.
1235
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,160
Finished. Extraordinary.
1236
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:11,526
He is like God, isn't he?
1237
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:22,400
I knew the songs were a lot more
richer than Definitely Maybe.
1238
01:09:22,480 --> 01:09:24,608
I knew they had, like,
definitely gone up a notch.
1239
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,600
I loved Owen, mental Welshman.
1240
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:33,960
He was always setting fire to shit
1241
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,160
and things were always blowing up
because he had it too loud.
1242
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:41,768
No rule book, with his big, mad laugh, going,
"Yeah, let's fucking have it!"
1243
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,487
They were the best times
I ever had recording.
1244
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:46,644
It's gorgeous and sexy, and...
1245
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:52,841
Have your priorities right.
1246
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,400
Liam was extraordinary.
1247
01:09:58,480 --> 01:10:02,080
And they had this freaky thing where
Noel would play the song once
1248
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,560
on an acoustic guitar in the control room,
to Liam,
1249
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,405
give him the words and he'd fucking sing it.
1250
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:09,640
Noel would listen to it once
1251
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,280
to check Liam's got the phrasing
for the entire song
1252
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,124
that he's only just heard the once.
1253
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,040
Noel would go, "Nice one, Liam,"
1254
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,120
and there was always football on
when Oasis were recording.
1255
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:21,200
Noel would fuck off,
1256
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:22,805
Liam would just bang
another four tracks down.
1257
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:25,680
This would be, like, 1:00 in the afternoon.
1258
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:27,728
Cup of tea, lead vocal, done.
1259
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:29,840
I was like, "What the fuck?"
1260
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,287
You know, he's only heard the song once.
1261
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,400
Five songs, five days, man. Fucking amazing!
1262
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,000
# Slowly walking down the hall
1263
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:42,240
# Faster than a cannonball
1264
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:46,760
# Where were you while we were getting high?
1265
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,160
# Someday you will find me
1266
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:54,320
# Caught beneath the landslide
1267
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:59,560
# In a champagne supernova in the sky
1268
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,960
# Someday you will find me
1269
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:07,200
# Caught beneath the landslide
1270
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,640
# In a champagne supernova
1271
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,680
# A champagne supernova
1272
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,640
# Because people believe
1273
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:22,568
# That they're going to
get away for the summer
1274
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,960
# But you and I, we live and die
1275
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,200
# The world's still spinning round
1276
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:36,330
# We don't know why
1277
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:40,604
# Why, why, why, why #
1278
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:45,041
No, we don't need that last one.
1279
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:47,881
Yeah!
1280
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:53,800
This is soaking the boats here.
1281
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:55,720
The boats are the Blues.
1282
01:11:55,800 --> 01:12:00,442
Come on, the Blues!
1283
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:03,808
Come on, the Pool!
1284
01:12:04,440 --> 01:12:06,124
It's the fucking curse of United!
1285
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:08,866
Come on!
1286
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:25,369
Come on, you baldy twat!
1287
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:30,400
Fucking, hey!
1288
01:12:30,480 --> 01:12:31,760
Come on!
1289
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,129
Dalglish!
1290
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:37,521
Dalglish!
1291
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:39,801
Come on then!
1292
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:45,600
Good times, man. I loved it in that place,
1293
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,760
but it's not fucking prison, is it,
you know what I mean?
1294
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:49,720
If I'm not needed today,
1295
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:53,200
I'm hardly going to sit and fucking watch you
play guitar, you know what I mean, like?
1296
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:54,640
I'm fucking going to the pub.
1297
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:56,200
But it did cause arguments.
1298
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:57,964
Nearly. That's that then, lad.
1299
01:12:58,640 --> 01:12:59,640
So it'd always be like that.
1300
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,769
"Right, he's doing his guitars,
he'll be in there all fucking day, won't he?
1301
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:04,360
"We can go to the fucking pub."
1302
01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:05,520
And he'd come out, and he'd be like,
1303
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:07,602
"All right, guys, what does everyone think...
Where is everyone?"
1304
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:10,081
Where is everyone gone?
1305
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:14,162
Yeah, I was a sucker for the pub, man.
1306
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:18,168
You go in there one day,
and you meet the local fucking drug dealer.
1307
01:13:18,480 --> 01:13:20,767
Yeah, I probably did bring
a few people back one night.
1308
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,811
Probably a bad move,
because Noel was still working in the studio.
1309
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:27,600
No, I shouldn't have brought them back,
1310
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,680
but I thought we were a rock 'n roll band,
you know what I mean?
1311
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,760
I thought anything goes in Oasis,
you know what I mean?
1312
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:34,047
Obviously, the other people had rules,
you know what I mean?
1313
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:36,481
Fuck the rules, man.
1314
01:13:38,440 --> 01:13:43,880
# Sing a sad song in a lonely place
1315
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:46,600
# Try to put a word in for me...
1316
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:49,880
As I recall,
Liam was going pretty fucking mad.
1317
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:53,440
Somebody let a fire extinguisher off
in the farmhouse.
1318
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,760
I think maybe one of my guitars
got damaged, and I blamed him.
1319
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:00,000
It just exploded into a big
fucking bunch of chaos
1320
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,160
like you've never seen, man.
1321
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:04,040
I ended up having a proper fight with Liam.
1322
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,885
I mean, it might have been the
biggest fight we ever had.
1323
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,925
I remember smashing his head
in with a cricket bat, yeah.
1324
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:14,120
# What we don't touch we cannot feel...
1325
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:16,320
The whole studio got smashed to pieces.
1326
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,680
There's like loads of little bits
in the corner went, "Bzzt."
1327
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,480
Everything just got fucking blitzed.
1328
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:25,640
I'm not generally an obnoxious person, dude,
1329
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,600
but somebody must've got on my tits,
you know what I mean?
1330
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:29,800
Probably me not giving a fuck
1331
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,406
and him trying to write
fucking Bohemian Rhapsody.
1332
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,921
And me sort of just going,
"Bollocks! Let's have it!"
1333
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:40,560
I do remember jumping out of a window,
driving off with Whitey.
1334
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:45,160
Liam appeared out of nowhere
and threw a dustbin at the car,
1335
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:48,560
and we'd only known Alan
about two weeks and he was saying,
1336
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,961
"It can't be over, I've only just joined."
1337
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:55,000
We were like, "No, no, no, no.
This is going to happen all the time."
1338
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:58,200
And he was going, "Fucking hell, mate.
What kind of fucking band is this?"
1339
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:00,328
Go and fucking join The Troggs!
1340
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:04,680
# We're throwing it all away #
1341
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:06,360
Yeah, it was terrible.
1342
01:15:06,440 --> 01:15:10,720
It happened, man, but there was no need
for the cricket fucking bat around my head,
1343
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:11,881
you know what I mean?
1344
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:17,760
Every time there was ever a scene in Oasis,
1345
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:22,080
when we'd all got back together
it was like nothing had ever happened.
1346
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:23,720
We had a tour booked
1347
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,400
and we were rehearsing in Brixton Academy.
1348
01:15:26,480 --> 01:15:29,400
It was all fine.
Me and Guigs got a taxi home.
1349
01:15:29,480 --> 01:15:32,404
The next day, Guigs just doesn't show up.
1350
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:36,730
Marcus arrives and says,
"Guigs wants to leave the band."
1351
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,960
What's happened to Guigs
is he's had a bit of a fucking breakdown.
1352
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:42,760
That's when you kick yourself, you know.
1353
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,240
When you're that blinkered
that you couldn't stop
1354
01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:47,641
and notice that your mate
wasn't feeling right.
1355
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:50,600
Any kind of chaos going on around,
1356
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:52,040
he would have shot down,
do you know what I mean?
1357
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:53,360
Bass players are like that.
1358
01:15:53,440 --> 01:15:55,040
Guigs is a gentle soul, you know what I mean?
1359
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,520
He wasn't like me and Noel, or like Bonehead.
1360
01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:59,920
You know, we were fucking pretty mental.
1361
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,900
He was suffering from nervous exhaustion...
1362
01:16:03,480 --> 01:16:05,520
...as rock stars always are.
1363
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,200
"My nerves are exhausted."
1364
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:10,600
Or "My exhaustion is fucking
getting me nervous," I don't know.
1365
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:12,967
I never had it myself. It's a funny thing.
1366
01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:14,760
Maybe he smoked too much weed.
1367
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,560
Maybe he just needed a breather,
you know what I mean?
1368
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:21,600
We weren't the kind of band that was like,
"Oh, poor Guigs," or "Poor Liam."
1369
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:24,640
It was like, "Fuck that cunt!
We've got shit to do, man."
1370
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:25,920
We went for Scott MacLeod
1371
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,970
from a little band that we'd played with
in the past called The Ya Ya's.
1372
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:31,240
What a great job he got, didn't he?
1373
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,163
"Do you fancy being bass player in Oasis?"
"Fucking yes!"
1374
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:38,480
I don't know how long it was before we
got on the plane to go to the States,
1375
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:39,925
but even that was chaos.
1376
01:16:49,480 --> 01:16:52,280
We were on the way to New York
to do David Letterman.
1377
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,600
Maggie, our tour manager,
God bless that woman,
1378
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:58,040
we put her through absolute fucking hell,
1379
01:16:58,120 --> 01:16:59,680
she came in kind of half-laughing, going,
1380
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:01,520
"You're not going to guess
what's just happened.
1381
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:04,285
"Scott's just told me
he wants to, like, quit."
1382
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,440
And I remember going to the back lounge
and saying to him,
1383
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:08,120
"Mate, what? What? What?"
1384
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:12,360
And he said these words,
"I'm just missing my bird."
1385
01:17:12,440 --> 01:17:14,960
You know, there's people who are cut
out for it and there's people that ain't.
1386
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,000
He might have just gone
"You know what, this is not for me."
1387
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:21,451
It's either that or his bird must have
been fit as fuck, you know what I mean?
1388
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:24,080
I always take things like that.
1389
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:26,800
I would always laugh my way through it
and think, even you know,
1390
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:29,200
as you're driving into America
to do David Letterman,
1391
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:31,840
and the bass player that's standing in
1392
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,840
for the bass player
who's got nervous exhaustion, is saying,
1393
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:37,681
"I can't handle it any more."
You're laughing, going,
1394
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,520
"We must be the biggest bunch
of cunts in the world,
1395
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:45,320
"because our mate is fucking
sat at home watching the cricket,
1396
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:46,880
"he don't want to be in a band with us.
1397
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:50,282
"This fucking clown here,
who's on the dole in England,
1398
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:52,040
"he don't want to be either! What?
1399
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:55,283
"I mean, are we like the biggest
three cunts in the world?"
1400
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:57,280
It didn't deter us.
1401
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,040
We got to New York. Bonehead got up.
1402
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,646
"You're playing bass
and we do it as a four-piece."
1403
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,200
Our next guests are the most popular
rock 'n roll band in Britain today.
1404
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:08,840
Can you guys prove it, seriously?
How would we know? Are you really?
1405
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,000
Okay, I'll take your word for it,
all right, okay, I believe you.
1406
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,120
I'm going to believe you this time,
but if there's trouble later
1407
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:15,240
with the equipment missing...
1408
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:16,526
All right, just relax.
1409
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,446
# Need a little time to wake up
1410
01:18:21,480 --> 01:18:24,800
# Need a little time to wake up, wake up
1411
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:28,000
# Need a little time to wake up
1412
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:31,600
# Need a little time to rest your mind
1413
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:35,082
# You know you should
so I guess that you might as well
1414
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:41,360
# What's the story, morning glory?
1415
01:18:41,440 --> 01:18:42,566
# Well? #
1416
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:44,560
Being in the best band
1417
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:46,880
and the most important band
of your generation
1418
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,042
shouldn't be a walk in the park,
you know what I mean?
1419
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:52,440
We come back to England,
1420
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,800
we got these gigs coming up,
they're sold out.
1421
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,804
They're going to be monumental.
We didn't have a bass player.
1422
01:18:58,560 --> 01:18:59,846
Radio One...
1423
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:03,000
The biggest ever indoor gig in Britain
1424
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:07,280
will rock the capital tomorrow night
as Oasis roll into London.
1425
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:10,680
They'll play two blistering sets
over the weekend at Earls Court
1426
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,161
in front of nearly 40,000 fans.
1427
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:14,880
- Hey, Noel?
- Hello.
1428
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:16,166
Rumours of a split, or what?
1429
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:17,960
A banana split, yeah.
1430
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:19,440
Yeah, where's the rest of
the band tonight then?
1431
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:20,521
Who cares?
1432
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:23,411
Marcus was saying
"We'll just cancel everything,"
1433
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:26,080
to a chorus of,
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What the fuck?
1434
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:27,880
"That's not how we run shit."
1435
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:32,080
If my fucking mum has got to play bass,
that gig is happening.
1436
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:36,720
I think we gave Guigs first refusal, and said,
"Are you going to do this gig, or what?"
1437
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,320
I remember just getting a message like,
1438
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,000
"Guigsy is going to come back
and do the gig."
1439
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:41,480
Hallelujah!
1440
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:43,000
But then there was a part of me thinking,
1441
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:44,720
"Oh, God, is he going
to come on and just collapse?"
1442
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:45,926
It was pretty hairy.
1443
01:19:46,440 --> 01:19:47,840
We were never fussed about it, it was like,
1444
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:51,320
"Have a nice fucking rest, did you,
you lazy fucker?
1445
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,040
"I didn't even know you'd fucking gone!
1446
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:56,000
"What, you had a fucking breakdown?
Fuck, when did that happen?"
1447
01:19:56,080 --> 01:20:00,040
Look, Oasis wasn't for wimps,
so I was glad Guigs came back.
1448
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,280
You know what I mean,
he was part of the band,
1449
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:04,044
but the show must go on.
1450
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,561
Are we going to have it away in
here tonight, or what? Come on!
1451
01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:00,400
# I don't know what it is
that makes me feel alive
1452
01:21:00,480 --> 01:21:04,480
# I don't know how to wake
the things that sleep inside
1453
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:10,044
# I only want to see the light
that shines behind your eyes
1454
01:21:12,480 --> 01:21:16,360
# There are many things
that I would like to know
1455
01:21:16,440 --> 01:21:20,280
# And there are many places that I wish to go
1456
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:26,049
# But everything's depending
on the way the wind may blow
1457
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,609
# Because we need each other
1458
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:39,040
# We believe in one another
1459
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,960
# And I know we're going to uncover
1460
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,281
# What's sleeping in our soul...
1461
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:49,000
There were days when you were in the zone,
you know what I mean,
1462
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,000
where you could just stand
perfectly fucking still
1463
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,400
while there's all this chaos
going on around you
1464
01:21:53,480 --> 01:21:55,400
and all these kids are just fucking
leaping about
1465
01:21:55,480 --> 01:21:58,051
and the sound's like pumping, roaring.
1466
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:02,600
I'd just be stood completely fucking still
like a boxer just thinking,
1467
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,720
"This is the best feeling in the world."
1468
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:06,801
Pure control.
1469
01:22:09,440 --> 01:22:12,250
Not feeling the need to join the madness.
1470
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:16,169
Just absolute fucking still.
1471
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:22,084
# Because we need
1472
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:25,091
# Because we believe #
1473
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:38,801
Cheers.
1474
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:48,207
Liam Gallagher, Sunday,
pre-fucking the Liquid Room.
1475
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:51,401
One word?
1476
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:54,040
Sausages. What?
1477
01:22:57,720 --> 01:22:59,960
Liam was always cooler than me, I think.
1478
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,360
He had a better walk
and clothes looked better on him
1479
01:23:02,440 --> 01:23:04,600
and he was taller,
and he had a better haircut.
1480
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:06,281
And he was funnier.
1481
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:11,360
Liam clearly would have liked
to have had my talent as a songwriter.
1482
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:22,000
And there's not a day goes by
when I don't wish
1483
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:23,650
I could rock a parka like that man.
1484
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,240
I know Noel thinks I'm doing okay.
1485
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:36,200
We didn't need to pat each other
on the back and go, "Oh, you're great."
1486
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:38,248
Me and him are like telepathic,
you know what I mean?
1487
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:40,040
Kiss for the camera.
1488
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:43,120
There was a period where
he was the greatest singer in the world,
1489
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:44,840
added to that, the greatest front man,
1490
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:47,160
added to that he was a fucking
good-looking boy as well.
1491
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:48,800
They were the magic years, you know.
1492
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:50,950
The trick is keeping that shit going.
1493
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:55,840
What's all that about Liam
walking off the stage or something?
1494
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:56,920
What happened there?
1495
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:58,440
He does it all the time, now. He does it...
1496
01:23:58,520 --> 01:23:59,521
It's part of the show?
1497
01:23:59,960 --> 01:24:01,644
Liam, Liam!
1498
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:04,320
It never dawned on me to be a singer
1499
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:06,440
until he started walking off stage
in the middle of gigs
1500
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:08,280
and it's kind of like,
"Oh, fucking hell," you know.
1501
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:11,011
"We've got another 40 minutes left here,
someone had better do something."
1502
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:30,560
I had problems, man, with my throat.
Just probably caning it too much.
1503
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:32,480
Fucking screaming, shouting, I don't know.
1504
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:36,520
Singing them songs the way I sing them
is like being in a boxing match.
1505
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:38,090
It takes its wear and tear.
1506
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,360
And, of course, what happened,
nine times out of ten,
1507
01:24:42,440 --> 01:24:44,160
was I'd take over.
1508
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:46,000
But the more you'd finish the gigs,
1509
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,162
the more it enabled him to do it,
1510
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:49,600
and then he'd just do it
at the drop of a hat.
1511
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:51,648
Just give us a minute, right?
1512
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:53,728
I'm going to have
to sing for you, right, sorry.
1513
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:58,800
I never ever could not be arsed
getting on that stage.
1514
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:01,201
I fucking take massive offence to that.
1515
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:06,480
That's one of the reasons
why I had to start doing vocals,
1516
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:07,561
you know what I mean?
1517
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,240
And then I thought,
"Oh, hang on a minute. This is all right.
1518
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:13,403
"That girl's staring at me,
that's even better."
1519
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:15,720
Wonderwall, actually you guys
have been doing for a while.
1520
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:17,800
- Noel's been doing it acoustically.
- Yeah.
1521
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,000
How did that come about?
1522
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:23,040
He just decided he wanted
to do an acoustic song, which is cool.
1523
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:25,200
But now when we get back to England
we're going to spread it out,
1524
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:26,560
we're going to do it as a band.
1525
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:29,320
- Are you still having a good time?
- Yeah, I'm rocking, yeah.
1526
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,480
When I'm allowed to do the job,
1527
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:33,640
that thing's good, yeah, I'm happy.
1528
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:35,722
When I'm not allowed to do the job,
I'm not happy.
1529
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:41,000
He's a great fucking songwriter
and always will be,
1530
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,000
but singing's my gig.
1531
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:44,800
If you're going to start
singing the fucking songs
1532
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,724
as well as writing them, what am I doing,
making the fucking tea?
1533
01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:50,880
All the coming off,
and the "I'm doing this tune."
1534
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:54,600
I was walking on stage like a fucking yo-yo,
you know what I mean, half the time.
1535
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:57,000
"Here he comes, here he goes, here he comes.
1536
01:25:57,080 --> 01:25:59,720
"Leave it out! You're taking the piss, mate!"
1537
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:03,600
So therefore there will be a bit of frustration
and the wheels might come off tonight.
1538
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:06,761
I've left once.
1539
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:08,920
For a long period?
1540
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:10,920
A couple of weeks. Shouldn't have come back.
1541
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:12,760
Biggest mistake I ever made was coming back.
1542
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:14,720
Because Morning Glory
would have been my first solo album
1543
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:16,245
and I'd have had a load of fucking money.
1544
01:26:16,480 --> 01:26:18,720
Yeah, I mean, you know,
Our Kid has left on a couple of occasions,
1545
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:22,680
and been sacked on a couple of occasions
actually. But, yeah, I suppose...
1546
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,440
How does that work?
Four-fifths of vote sort of thing?
1547
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,171
Oh, no, I just sack him. "You? Out!"
1548
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:32,840
Noel said in the music papers
the other day about
1549
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:35,446
- "Only a couple more records."
- About him leaving the band?
1550
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,440
I think he's got loads and loads
of albums left inside him
1551
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:41,880
and us as a band have got
loads and loads of gigs to do
1552
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:44,400
and things to do, and can make them,
you know what I mean?
1553
01:26:44,480 --> 01:26:48,000
I don't feel no way we're splitting up,
right. I'm not into that at all.
1554
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:51,000
But if he feels it, then he feels it,
you know what I mean?
1555
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,162
A good slap around the jaw,
man, will change his mind.
1556
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:59,046
This is yet another song
with shit lyrics... Wonderwall.
1557
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:17,080
# Today was going to be the day
they were going to throw it back to you
1558
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:22,080
# By now, you should have somehow
realised what you've got to do
1559
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:28,088
# I don't believe that anybody
feels the way I do about you now...
1560
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,880
Morning Glory took on a life
of its own after Wonderwall
1561
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:35,640
and then Don't Look Back In Anger
came consecutively as singles.
1562
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:38,120
Then, it just blew up all over the world.
1563
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,771
# And all the lights that
lead the way are blinding
1564
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:46,600
# There are many things
that I would like to say to you
1565
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:48,011
# But I don't know how
1566
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:51,004
# I don't know how
1567
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:55,520
# I said maybe
1568
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:56,720
# You're going to be the one that saves me
1569
01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:00,080
The songs on that record,
they're extraordinary songs,
1570
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:03,080
and they're not extraordinary songs
because of anything that I did.
1571
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:05,760
I only wrote them, and we only played them.
1572
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:09,800
It's the millions of people since
who fucking sing them back to you to this day
1573
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:11,644
that have made them extraordinary.
1574
01:28:15,480 --> 01:28:19,690
# Today was going to be the day
but they'll never throw it all back to you
1575
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:25,647
# By now, you should have somehow
realised what you're not to do
1576
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:32,086
# I don't believe that anybody
feels the way I do about you now
1577
01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:35,040
There's nothing better than singing
them songs, man, to the people.
1578
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:36,840
Fucking blast their souls.
1579
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:38,560
And them just going fucking apeshit.
1580
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:40,768
# And all the roads
we have to walk are winding
1581
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:46,240
# And all the lights
that light the way are blinding
1582
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:50,720
# There are many things
that I would like to say to you
1583
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:53,320
# But I don't know how
1584
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,880
# I don't know how
1585
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:58,964
# Because maybe
1586
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:03,844
# You're going to be the one that saves me
1587
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:11,249
# And after all, you're my Wonderwall
1588
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:18,440
# I said maybe
1589
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:27,840
# You're going to be the one that saves me
1590
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:31,811
# You're going to be the one that saves me #
1591
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,080
Maine Road, and the streets surrounding it
1592
01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:46,209
really are a stone's throw
from where I was born.
1593
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:49,842
That really was a homecoming gig,
you know, it was, for all of us.
1594
01:29:53,570 --> 01:29:55,891
Cheers, thank you very much.
1595
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:58,920
I'm a Man City supporter
and have been all my life.
1596
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:02,721
To be offered to play at a gig like that,
it was unbelievable.
1597
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:08,170
We still felt like a cult band
selling out two nights at a stadium.
1598
01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:13,403
From the greatest band in the world to
the greatest fans in the world. Good night!
1599
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:19,440
I remember sitting in a box on my own
1600
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:22,126
watching the stadium emptying,
with the floodlights on,
1601
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:23,760
trying to appreciate it,
1602
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,002
thinking, "Where does it go from here?"
1603
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:29,081
But then almost immediately,
bang, you're into a party.
1604
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:32,800
Still to come, it's gone
thirteen times platinum,
1605
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:36,240
it charted a year ago today,
is it the greatest album ever written?
1606
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:39,080
I think it's fair to say that
(What's The Story) Morning Glory
1607
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:41,760
is probably one of the
biggest-selling albums of all time.
1608
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,880
Without doubt, the biggest band around
in Britain at the moment is Oasis.
1609
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:47,964
The fastest-selling album of the decade.
1610
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:50,011
What? Are you asking me if I'm happy?
1611
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:52,401
Listen, I've got £87 million in the bank.
1612
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:55,200
I've got a Rolls Royce,
I've got three stalkers,
1613
01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:57,680
I'm about to go on the board
at Manchester City.
1614
01:30:57,760 --> 01:30:59,800
I'm part of the greatest band in the world.
1615
01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:02,770
Am I happy with that?
No I'm not! I want more!
1616
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:12,840
Well, we've got the Oasis brothers here.
1617
01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:14,320
- What do you think about it tonight?
- Boring.
1618
01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:16,080
- I thought we should have won more.
- Really?
1619
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:18,240
Yeah. We should have been voted
the Best Rap Artist.
1620
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:19,960
I thought he should have been voted Best Band
1621
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:21,769
because he's got seven personalities.
1622
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:26,240
Oasis.
1623
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:28,288
- Oasis.
- Oasis, Wonderwall.
1624
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:35,120
What does a Brit Award mean? Fuck all.
1625
01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:38,761
In the grand scheme of things,
all that shit was irrelevant.
1626
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:43,248
Has-beens shouldn't present
fucking awards to gonna-bes.
1627
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:50,560
One of the heads of the Brits said,
"This will ruin your career."
1628
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:52,280
You fucking bell-end!
1629
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:54,601
If anyone's going to ruin my career,
it's going to be me, not you.
1630
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:02,080
The one voted for by the fans means a lot.
1631
01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:04,322
Anything that's voted for by fans is special.
1632
01:32:04,440 --> 01:32:08,001
Anything that's voted for by idiots,
corporate pigs, means nothing to us.
1633
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:11,120
You know, because really the music,
fuck all that.
1634
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:14,124
Writing songs is difficult.
Talking shit is easy.
1635
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:17,640
When I do an interview,
I'm there to be a fucking gob-shite
1636
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:20,121
and to cause as much fucking trouble
as possible.
1637
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:24,080
As soon as people realise that the majority
of people in this country take drugs,
1638
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:25,969
then, I mean, the better off we'll all be.
1639
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:28,840
Everybody does it.
You do it, you do it, you do it.
1640
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:31,280
You do it, you do it,
you do it and you do it.
1641
01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:34,440
He doesn't do it... Because he's a Buddhist.
1642
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:37,000
You know, it's like getting up
and having a cup of tea in the morning.
1643
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:38,964
...is as common as having a cup of tea.
1644
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:41,640
It was immediately condemned by politicians
1645
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:43,768
with one minister calling him
a "spoiled brat".
1646
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:45,920
The press lapped that shit up
1647
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:49,840
because no one had ever come along
that was even remotely like us.
1648
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:52,810
We were the biggest band in the country
1649
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:54,126
and we didn't give a fuck.
1650
01:32:54,600 --> 01:32:56,120
I was asked a question, I gave my opinions
1651
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:58,089
and there's nothing that them
or anyone else can do about it.
1652
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:01,480
We don't really care what they
write about us in the press
1653
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:03,040
as long as we're on the cover.
1654
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:04,720
They can write anything
they want about us inside,
1655
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:06,848
but as long as we are on the cover,
then it don't matter.
1656
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:10,480
It'd do your head in sometimes when they
were writing shit about you and that
1657
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:11,960
and fucking outside your house and stuff,
1658
01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:13,849
but that's what I signed up for,
you know what I mean?
1659
01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:16,931
Liam? Can we have a quick picture? Liam?
1660
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:20,360
You know the story, it's in the papers,
that's what's going on.
1661
01:33:20,440 --> 01:33:22,240
Second to the singing was being the ultimate,
1662
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:26,081
number-one fucking rock star in this
fucking country and that's what I was.
1663
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:29,520
I remember going in a pub
some days at like 11:00.
1664
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:31,680
By 12:30,
people would be dancing on the tables
1665
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:33,205
and snorting cocaine, you know what I mean?
1666
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:35,840
You're like, "Fucking hell, I only went in
for a fucking pint and a read of the paper,
1667
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:38,002
"now fucking all hell's broke loose,"
you know what I mean?
1668
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:40,890
It did make life quite difficult, though.
1669
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:47,120
The day that it steps over into the tabloids
and then stays there for years,
1670
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:50,363
then you've gone to the dark side
and then the clock is ticking then.
1671
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:56,160
It had been billed as one of the most
sensational trials in pop music history.
1672
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,760
Tony McCarroll, the drummer sacked by Oasis,
1673
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,280
going to court in search
of a multi-million-pound slice
1674
01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:02,930
of the band's annual earnings.
1675
01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:05,400
When shit like that starts out,
1676
01:34:05,480 --> 01:34:08,200
you do start thinking
all the fun is taken out of it.
1677
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:09,600
You start a band with the best intentions
1678
01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:12,570
of just trying to get a big telly
and a fit bird...
1679
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:15,680
And the next thing is
is everybody's hovering around you
1680
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:18,960
with leather man-bags
full of shit for you to sign.
1681
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:20,405
"How did it get to this?"
1682
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:23,440
And that was the change.
1683
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:25,720
Your mates are being slowly
discarded to the side.
1684
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:26,847
It's a business now you're in.
1685
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:30,400
The people behind the scenes
were determined to make it a brand.
1686
01:34:30,480 --> 01:34:32,130
It was even hard to get on
the guest list some days.
1687
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:36,760
At this point,
the dynamic has changed that much.
1688
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:39,286
It's now in the hands of the industry.
1689
01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:44,480
And I think the spirit
of any band rapidly disappears
1690
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:46,528
and it's all about the money.
1691
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:53,480
Here we have Mr Mark Coyle
sat looking rather subdued in the corner.
1692
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:54,560
Fuck off!
1693
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:56,520
Can you say that a little more graphically?
1694
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:57,640
Fuck off!
1695
01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:00,880
Thank you, and here we have Liam...
1696
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,200
Always chipper in the morning,
this young man.
1697
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:04,760
Can't get the bastard down.
1698
01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:06,280
We tried several times.
1699
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:08,120
We've put monkeys on his back,
1700
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:10,885
a cement mixer once
and we still couldn't get the bastard down.
1701
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:12,331
Look at that kipper!
1702
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:13,800
When you're in a bubble,
1703
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:16,040
sometimes you need a bit of guidance,
don't you?
1704
01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:19,040
I felt like all the people that were with us
at the beginning
1705
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:20,610
were kind of getting pushed out a bit.
1706
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:26,080
I think the best times
are when everybody's together
1707
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:27,800
and that gang is out on the road.
1708
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:30,929
They're the best of times,
doing them little gigs.
1709
01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:35,731
It does lose something when,
you know, the industry grabs a hold.
1710
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:41,324
I do recall Mark coming up to me and saying,
"I don't think I can do it any more."
1711
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:45,766
People were regularly coming
into the dressing room and going,
1712
01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:47,609
"Fucking hell, that was loud."
1713
01:35:48,480 --> 01:35:52,371
I went to see a doctor
with my ears, got ringing ears.
1714
01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:59,366
The doctor says to me,
"Stop doing this, because you will go deaf."
1715
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:04,444
So I left, and that was
the end of my live life.
1716
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:06,770
I'd had enough as well, I think.
1717
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:10,600
I think he said to me in the past that
he thought it had got a bit too big for him.
1718
01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:13,040
I really admire him for that.
1719
01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:15,000
I think it was a bit more than that, I think.
1720
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:17,321
It was just getting a bit
too corporate for him.
1721
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:21,520
You know, one minute you're fucking
hanging with your mates, having a craic,
1722
01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:24,809
but when management come into it,
it changes, doesn't it?
1723
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:28,889
If anybody was a fifth member
of that band, it was Mark.
1724
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:34,080
Yeah, and it made me a little bit sad
that he wasn't going to be on tour any more.
1725
01:36:34,160 --> 01:36:37,800
Soon after, Phil Smith quit.
1726
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:41,200
I still can't work out what was going
through his fucking head at the time.
1727
01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:46,200
In the early days, it was the five band,
Coyle and Phil, that was it.
1728
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:50,520
Yeah, it's a shame that he wasn't around,
but it's not the end of the fucking world.
1729
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:52,568
Beginning of a new world,
you know what I mean?
1730
01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:56,880
The machine goes on, and the band goes on.
1731
01:36:56,960 --> 01:36:58,610
I am not getting in the way of that.
1732
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:02,327
Walking away from that,
I'll never get over that.
1733
01:37:04,440 --> 01:37:06,249
But it was the right thing to do.
1734
01:37:57,440 --> 01:38:00,760
You can listen to their albums,
but when you go to a gig
1735
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:02,569
and there's thousands and thousands
of people,
1736
01:38:03,440 --> 01:38:04,800
that's when it brings it home.
1737
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:07,531
That's really when I feel most proud of them.
1738
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:13,360
# Slip inside the eye of your mind
1739
01:38:13,440 --> 01:38:18,048
# Don't you know you might find
a better place to play
1740
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:23,480
# You said that you'd never been
1741
01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:28,521
# But all the things that you've seen
are going to fade away
1742
01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:34,089
# Going to start a revolution from my bed
1743
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:39,088
# 'Cause you said the brains
I had went to my head
1744
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:44,321
# Step outside, summertime's in bloom
1745
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:50,880
# Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
1746
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:56,888
# 'Cause you ain't ever
going to burn my heart out
1747
01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:04,760
# And so Sally can wait
1748
01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:09,528
# She knows it's too late
as we're walking on by
1749
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:15,491
# Her soul slides away
1750
01:39:16,200 --> 01:39:20,842
# But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
1751
01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:26,643
I remember those gigs at The Point
being, like, wildly emotional.
1752
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:31,082
It was breathtaking, the kind
of energy and the vibe in the room.
1753
01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:35,681
# My soul slides away
1754
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:42,520
# But don't look back in anger
1755
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:45,410
# Don't look back in anger
1756
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:49,845
# I heard you say
1757
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:57,968
# Least not today #
1758
01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:08,720
It's that immigrant thing, isn't it?
It's that sense of identity.
1759
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:13,010
Ireland saw them as their own,
and everybody was in such a good mood.
1760
01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:18,847
So we got back to the hotel, right,
so there was loads of us in this bar.
1761
01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:21,880
That hotel was fairly public
1762
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:25,080
because Ireland didn't really have security
around rock bands them days.
1763
01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:27,360
Anyone could walk in off the street.
1764
01:40:27,440 --> 01:40:30,120
My dad, we'd seen him skulking around
and I thought,
1765
01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:32,043
"What the fuck is this going on?"
1766
01:40:32,480 --> 01:40:34,960
Someone turned round and said,
"Your old fella's over there,
1767
01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:38,040
"with a journalist,
trying to get summat going."
1768
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:39,326
And I was about to kill him.
1769
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:44,720
Oh, that was awful, that.
I couldn't believe that that happened
1770
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:46,370
because it really spoiled their night.
1771
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:49,520
There was a scene.
1772
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:51,800
I was trying to take the dignified approach.
1773
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:54,840
Fuck him, do you know what I mean?
He doesn't mean anything to me any more.
1774
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:56,920
We were better than that.
1775
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,200
Noel was saying to Liam, "Do not react."
1776
01:40:59,280 --> 01:41:00,920
He's at one end,
and Noel and Liam are at the other
1777
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:03,400
and Liam's going,
"I'm going to fucking kill him."
1778
01:41:03,480 --> 01:41:05,120
And that's when they locked horns.
1779
01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:07,771
"Don't fucking react.
You're not going to react." You know.
1780
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:13,162
I was fucking steadfastly
not going to get involved.
1781
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:15,362
I did think Liam was a little bit upset.
1782
01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:19,960
To give Noel his due credit,
he contained Liam
1783
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:24,240
because Liam would have gone for him
and Noel protected his brother.
1784
01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:25,920
Got him out of there
1785
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,810
because they were obviously looking for,
you know, the big fight.
1786
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:33,004
I probably got calmed down by Our Kid,
I think.
1787
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:34,400
It's just pathetic, you know what I mean?
1788
01:41:34,480 --> 01:41:36,760
In front of the press with your son,
you know what I mean?
1789
01:41:36,840 --> 01:41:38,365
It's like, "See you later, mate."
1790
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:42,760
Round about that time, there was a story
every couple of fucking months.
1791
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:45,840
"Poor old fucking Dad's trying
to get in touch with his famous sons,
1792
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:49,208
"but they don't want anything
to do with him," and all that bollocks.
1793
01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:53,406
He had no intentions of making up with them.
1794
01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:54,520
That was his last thought,
1795
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:57,560
but of course he got paid
from the News Of The World.
1796
01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:00,200
And then, of course,
it was all over the papers the next day.
1797
01:42:35,440 --> 01:42:38,762
He's always said it was me
and the three kids that ruined his life.
1798
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:42,400
But I would just like him to know
that it wasn't us that ruined his life.
1799
01:42:42,480 --> 01:42:44,005
He ruined his own life.
1800
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:51,320
You know, it was kind of long since over,
whatever was going on with my old fella.
1801
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:53,289
All I care about is the music, you know.
1802
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:57,280
In the end, none of this will matter.
1803
01:42:57,360 --> 01:43:01,001
When it's all said and done,
what will remain is the songs.
1804
01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:10,920
I remember Marcus Russell saying to me,
1805
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:13,640
"Do we book these big gigs
just while we can?"
1806
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:16,120
Fucking Knebworth, bigger, bigger.
1807
01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:19,480
I imagine a fucking load of money involved.
1808
01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:22,160
"See Owen, it's like a fucking truck
going down a hill.
1809
01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:24,480
"It's burning and the wheels
are fucking falling off.
1810
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:26,130
"But everyone's going,
'It's fucking brilliant. '
1811
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:28,489
"So I don't know
when it's going to end, Owen."
1812
01:43:30,480 --> 01:43:32,560
Somebody suggested
that the next thing we should do
1813
01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:34,680
should be these things at Knebworth.
1814
01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:38,048
They didn't really have
much significance to me.
1815
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:40,240
But, you know,
somebody's only got to whisper in my ear,
1816
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:42,360
"Oh, these are the biggest gigs of all time,"
1817
01:43:42,440 --> 01:43:43,840
and I guess, well, that's me, yeah.
1818
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:45,840
"You've just sold it to me,
thank you very much."
1819
01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:48,600
The giant stage lies dark and silent.
1820
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:52,640
Tomorrow, that'll be the focus
for 250,000 people.
1821
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:55,960
Do you know, over 4% of the population
applied for tickets for Oasis?
1822
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:57,963
4% of the population!
1823
01:43:58,160 --> 01:43:59,520
In just over three years,
1824
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:03,600
Oasis will have gone from being a new
signing to one of rock's true giants.
1825
01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:05,440
You know, everyone was taking
a big leap of faith,
1826
01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:07,680
that we were going to sell these shows out.
1827
01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:10,960
And the first one went on sale
and it sold out in, like, minutes.
1828
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:14,560
As if by magic, the sun's got his hat on.
1829
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:15,687
Ha, hey, hey.
1830
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:21,049
The idea was put to us, we should put
another two nights on sale immediately,
1831
01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:27,160
and I think, for the first time ever,
we kind of backed away.
1832
01:44:27,240 --> 01:44:29,891
I don't know, maybe we got the sense
that it had become too big.
1833
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:34,481
Then you find out afterwards
that we could have done seven nights.
1834
01:44:35,160 --> 01:44:39,120
Can't believe that we only done two nights.
Whose fucking great idea was that?
1835
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:41,328
We should still be there playing right now.
1836
01:44:41,880 --> 01:44:44,451
And finally, it's been called
the rock concert of the decade.
1837
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:47,484
A quarter of a million rock fans
at Knebworth in Hertfordshire.
1838
01:44:47,800 --> 01:44:51,009
In a few hours, the hype becomes reality
when Oasis take to the stage...
1839
01:44:51,280 --> 01:44:52,884
John, describe the scene for us.
1840
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:57,770
I do often think, "What was it all about?"
1841
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:02,443
When we got to Knebworth,
we'd only just become rock stars.
1842
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:06,720
And I said to Coyle and Phil,
"You're getting on that helicopter,"
1843
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:10,120
because they were our two oldest mates.
1844
01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:12,168
"Really, you should be there
to see it with us.
1845
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:15,082
"This thing that we're all part of."
1846
01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:22,881
It did feel like the end of something
as opposed to the beginning of something.
1847
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:26,160
I had a sense of that, even at Knebworth,
do you know what I mean?
1848
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:27,844
That it was never going to happen again.
1849
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:31,240
That it happened
in such a short space of time.
1850
01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:35,080
Two-and-a-half years from signing off
to walking out on that stage.
1851
01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:36,161
It's just magic.
1852
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:40,800
We were a band who had the tunes,
who were grafters,
1853
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:43,645
who came from nothing and wanted it all.
1854
01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:47,646
We were the last. We were the greatest.
1855
01:45:48,440 --> 01:45:50,249
Nothing anybody does
could be as big as Oasis.
1856
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:03,320
Never. It would never get repeated.
1857
01:46:03,400 --> 01:46:05,080
Not because we were greater
or better than anyone else,
1858
01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:07,640
but just because we didn't
actually give a flying fuck.
1859
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:12,209
We've definitely got a table upstairs with
the big boys, whether they like it or not.
1860
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:21,806
It was the pre-digital age.
It was the pre-talent show, reality TV age.
1861
01:46:22,760 --> 01:46:25,000
Things meant more.
1862
01:46:25,080 --> 01:46:29,130
It was just a great time to be alive,
never mind a great time to be in Oasis.
1863
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:34,360
We were about to enter
into a celebrity-driven culture
1864
01:46:34,440 --> 01:46:38,520
and I've always thought
that it was the last, great gathering
1865
01:46:38,600 --> 01:46:42,640
of the people before the birth
of the Internet.
1866
01:46:42,720 --> 01:46:45,963
It's no coincidence that things like that
don't happen any more.
1867
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:48,960
Twenty years ago,
1868
01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:53,682
the biggest musical phenomenon
was a band that came from a council estate.
1869
01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:59,480
I just think in the times in which we live,
it would be unrepeatable.
1870
01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:01,280
We should be worried about that
1871
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:04,682
because where's it going to be
20 years from now?
1872
01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:26,160
I just wanted it all, fucking there and then,
you know what I mean?
1873
01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:29,881
I just wanted it all to happen in one big
"fuck-off" explosion of madness.
1874
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:33,721
I loved every minute of it.
1875
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:39,804
It meant the be-all and end-all, man.
Life or death.
1876
01:47:43,480 --> 01:47:44,920
And I wouldn't change anything.
1877
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:47,401
I'd do it all again in a fucking heartbeat.
1878
01:48:12,440 --> 01:48:16,200
This is history!
1879
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:19,329
Right here, right now, this is history!
1880
01:48:19,480 --> 01:48:22,131
I thought this was Knebworth,
what are you on about?
1881
01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:26,722
That was my life. That band was my life.
1882
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:31,560
So it went above and beyond
anything I ever imagined.
1883
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:33,520
That was the pinnacle for me.
1884
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:35,967
It was like,
"What the fuck do you do from there?"
1885
01:48:39,880 --> 01:48:41,609
Champagne Supernova.
1886
01:48:48,680 --> 01:48:51,240
# How many special people change?
1887
01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:54,080
# How many lives are living strange?
1888
01:48:54,160 --> 01:48:58,006
# Where were you while we were getting high?
1889
01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:02,200
# Slowly walking down the hall
1890
01:49:02,280 --> 01:49:04,920
# Faster than a cannonball
1891
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:08,840
# Where were you while we were getting high?
1892
01:49:08,920 --> 01:49:11,446
# Someday you will find me
1893
01:49:11,800 --> 01:49:15,400
# Caught beneath the landslide
1894
01:49:15,480 --> 01:49:19,451
# In a champagne supernova in the sky
1895
01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:22,560
# Someday you will find me
1896
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:26,120
# Caught beneath the landslide
1897
01:49:26,200 --> 01:49:29,040
# In a champagne supernova
1898
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:32,249
# A champagne supernova in the sky
1899
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:45,200
# Wake up the dawn and ask her why
1900
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,920
# A dreamer dreams she never dies
1901
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:51,129
# Wipe that tear away now from your eye
1902
01:49:53,480 --> 01:49:55,800
# Slowly walking down the hall
1903
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:58,201
# Faster than a cannonball
1904
01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:02,400
# Where were you while we were getting high?
1905
01:50:02,480 --> 01:50:08,640
# Someday you will find me
caught beneath the landslide
1906
01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:12,920
# In a champagne supernova in the sky
1907
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:18,723
# Someday you will find me
caught beneath the landslide
1908
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:21,840
# In a champagne supernova
1909
01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:24,560
# A champagne supernova
1910
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:30,727
# 'Cause people believe that they're
going to get away for the summer
1911
01:50:35,200 --> 01:50:37,680
# But you and I, we live and die
1912
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:39,480
# The world's still spinning round
1913
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:42,530
# We don't know why
1914
01:50:43,200 --> 01:50:46,249
# Why, why, why, why...
1915
01:50:59,840 --> 01:51:02,400
It felt fucking Biblical, man.
1916
01:51:02,480 --> 01:51:05,480
It was a miracle that we even got there.
1917
01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:08,450
It was everything and more than I asked for.
1918
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:12,040
Yeah, we felt untouchable, man.
1919
01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:13,610
Supersonic even.
1920
01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:20,360
People make the mistake of thinking
1921
01:51:20,440 --> 01:51:23,360
that the people on the stage here
are defining something.
1922
01:51:23,440 --> 01:51:25,080
What if no one turns up?
1923
01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:27,360
We can all sit here
and suck each other's ball bags
1924
01:51:27,440 --> 01:51:30,240
about 2. 6 million people
applying for tickets,
1925
01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:34,000
but you know what's great about that...
Is the 2. 6 million people
1926
01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:38,321
not anything that we did.
And the people were with us.
1927
01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:54,722
# How many special people change?
1928
01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:57,960
# How many lives are living strange?
1929
01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:00,566
# Where were you while we were getting high?
1930
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:03,888
# We were getting high #
1931
01:52:08,440 --> 01:52:11,720
My attitude then was,
"More, give me more, give me more."
1932
01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:14,800
Now, looking back,
I honestly think we should have just went,
1933
01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:17,042
"Thank you, every one of youse,
for getting us here.
1934
01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:20,563
"We were Oasis, and good night,"
and walked off.
1935
01:52:21,440 --> 01:52:22,840
We should have...
1936
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:25,571
We should have disappeared
into a puff of smoke.
1937
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:29,120
But, you know, it was my idea to keep going
1938
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:31,760
because I keep on fishing for it,
do you know what I mean?
1939
01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:33,171
I'm an addict!
1940
01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:37,329
That's what shit kickers do,
they ride it until the wheels come off.
1941
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:41,080
Just because you can't get any bigger
or any higher
1942
01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:44,600
doesn't mean to say you can't keep doing it,
you know what I mean?
1943
01:52:44,680 --> 01:52:47,126
Just because you kissed the sky,
give it a fucking love-bite.
1944
01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:56,046
When you're on stage, who are you playing to?
1945
01:52:57,680 --> 01:52:59,680
On stage, when he turns to me,
and I turn to him
1946
01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:02,320
and, like, we just both look at each other,
1947
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:05,449
everything just clicks, and,
it just like, transcends music.
1948
01:53:06,480 --> 01:53:09,370
And it's only me and him
that will ever get this...
1949
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:12,649
And that's what it's about for us.
1950
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:16,640
Sometimes, I do look back and I think, "Well,
1951
01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:19,880
"I wish it had gone a different way,"
but it hasn't.
1952
01:53:19,960 --> 01:53:23,080
It's caused a lot of problems with them two,
1953
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:26,289
but it's their life,
so you have to just let them get on with it.
1954
01:53:27,520 --> 01:53:28,760
I get where she's coming from
1955
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:31,760
because obviously me and Our Kid
ain't got a relationship any more,
1956
01:53:31,840 --> 01:53:33,680
but who's to say
if we'd have been a pair of fishmongers,
1957
01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:37,242
we'd have still slapped at each other
with a bit of trout every now and again.
1958
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:38,640
I guess it's like a fight.
1959
01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:41,160
We were kind of like a fucking
Mike Tyson band, you know what I mean?
1960
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:44,920
We just come in fucking blazing,
knocking everyone out.
1961
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:49,480
We were never going to do ten rounds
and it was never going to get to that point.
1962
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:51,800
At the end of the day,
I weigh it up and I go,
1963
01:53:51,880 --> 01:53:56,760
"Right, did the good times outweigh
the bad times? Fucking 100%!"
1964
01:53:56,840 --> 01:53:57,921
I'm happy with that.
1965
01:53:59,120 --> 01:54:03,160
You couldn't say
that anybody that was ever in Oasis,
1966
01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:06,320
me included,
was the best in the world at anything.
1967
01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:09,200
But when it all came together,
1968
01:54:09,280 --> 01:54:13,729
we made people feel something
that was indefinable.
1969
01:54:14,640 --> 01:54:16,800
We're still the same band
that was playing at the Boardwalk.
1970
01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:19,240
We virtually are wearing the same clothes.
1971
01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:25,000
All that's happened is that it's caught fire
and all these people have got on board.
1972
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:29,608
But people will never, ever, ever
forget the way that you made them feel.
1973
01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:34,680
There's a chemistry
between the band and the audience.
1974
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:37,880
There's something magnetic
drawing the two to each other.
1975
01:54:37,960 --> 01:54:41,280
The love, and the vibe,
and the passion and the rage
1976
01:54:41,360 --> 01:54:43,408
and the joy that come in from the crowd.
1977
01:54:44,080 --> 01:54:45,969
If anything, that's what Oasis was.
1978
01:54:49,640 --> 01:54:51,880
# And then dance if you want to dance
1979
01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:53,640
# Please, brother, take a chance
1980
01:54:53,720 --> 01:54:55,200
# You know they're going to go
1981
01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:57,040
# Which way they want to go
1982
01:54:57,120 --> 01:55:03,000
# All we know is that we don't
1983
01:55:03,080 --> 01:55:04,920
# Know how it's going to be
1984
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:06,600
# Please, brother, let it be
1985
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:08,160
# Life on the other hand
1986
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:11,680
# Won't make you understand
1987
01:55:11,760 --> 01:55:17,961
# We're all part of a master plan #
1988
01:55:20,961 --> 01:55:24,961
