  2. What is everybody's opinion of Be Here Now? It's an album that has intrigued me recently. I used to detest this album. My dad played Oasis a lot when they were prominent and BHN was never an album I enjoyed – partly because it's a band that never gave a shit at the time making the music over-produced and lyrically poor. However, I give it a thorough listen for the first time in probably five years two weeks ago and I was impressed. It's 70 minutes long – too long to me – but shows, in a way, an experimental Oasis; not just with drugs but with music! Shame that Noel hates this album now but I can see why. I think it's nicely flowing with some great vocals and melodies. It's an extremely arrogant record but you can see why.

    I got it on vinyl yesterday and I use headphones. It is possibly the loudest record I have ever listened to. 'My Big Mouth', which is my favourite song on the album, nearly blew my ears off and I'm not surprised if tinnitus is round the corner. That song has an unnecessary amount of guitar tracks in it, but that was the idea by Noel – to make it as rocky as the band possibly could. I can't help but share my love about this album at the moment. I find it spectacularly fascinating.
  3. If it were from any other band - and I mean any other band - back in 1997, Be Here Now would have been considered a masterpiece. However, it was virtually impossible for them to create something as phenomenal as their first two albums (plus all those great b-sides!!!!) - especially with all that coke they were doing. That said, and even with all of its over-production, there are some truly great songs on it with "Stand By Me" and "Don't Go Away" being my two favourite, along with the then-experimental "D'You Know What I Mean," the kickass "My Big Mouth" and the underrated "I Hope, I Think, I Know." The other tunes are pretty good but are indeed way too long - namely "All Around The World."

    If you haven't already done so, I recommend downloading the 1997 G-Mex show. It's great!

    Have to agree.

    It's my third favourite Oasis album, behind the obvious two. It is long, but that only bothers me when I don't get to finish it when I'm listening to it on the way to somewhere. Don't Go Away is my favourite from the album.

    Matt, you never replied to my PM, d'you know what I mean? (Or at least I don't think you did).

    Totally agree with this. Well said. I agree that if any band released that as a first album, or even if Oasis did, it would be massively appreciated - even more so than it was then.

    If you want hilarious Noel Gallagher quotes, then this video is central for it. This was put up on the Guardian yesterday. Hysterical stuff.

  7. "those helicopters cost a fuckin' fortune...the whole thing was nonsense"..classic stuff lol
  8. This also a classic quote...


    "I fucking hate videos," . "I hate the fact they cost a fortune. I hate the fact you've got to be there at 8 in the morning. I hate the fact you don't leave until 8 the next morning. I don't like the fact that the people who're making them think they're making Apocalypse Now and everything is the most important - 'this the really important shot' - fucking bollocks."
  9. Or, "Actually being the frontman for a video is the biggest pain in the fucking arse ever."

    My personal favourite is, "Those are some ill-fitting suits."
  10. hahahhaa these quotes are hysterical
  11. Listening to the live gig from Time Flies...

    here is a great Liam quote..... "this ones called fucking Slide Away, so get your fucking hands up !!!" awesome tune !!
  12. That's a great show to listen to - fantastic setlist. Too bad Liam's voice is shot.
