will try and piss Liam off so i'll get meself a headbutt

Think that almost happened to a friend of mine recently in a club here in melbourne, although it was an accident. By all accounts they are quite approachable and really nice guys.

I'm going to see them in March of 06

MUAHA

cigarettes - yes
alcohol - yes
oasis - well, no... errm, ok then, yes... nah, gotta say definitely maybe...

i don't know, i've seen them twice and i don't really think they are a great live act... you typically love them or loathe them - they're liam and noel after all
but i'm undecided... i'm not a fan of the band but i still think they wrote some great tunes that are classics...

Noel fears Oasis Greatest Hits album

Noel Gallagher fears Sony Music will "do the dirty" on Oasis and release a 'greatest hits' album next year.

Oasis do not want to release a compilation album yet - but their Sony contract ends next year.

Noel said: "We've come to the end of our contract with Sony. We won't sign with them again.

"I'm worried they'll cash in and release a best-of. I've always said we'd never do one until we'd split.

"I think they're going to force our hand. I really wouldn't want to do one, but if they put one out we'll have to get involved otherwise it'll be s***.

"I hope we don't do one. It's all a scam. You should put one out only when you're finished - in chronological order. But I have a feeling they'll do the dirty on us."

Noel, who has just completed a tour of Australia with Oasis, also said he loved the country and would move there if it was closer to Britain.

"It's like America," he said. "Not that I like America. It's like America weather-wise, but it's not full of fat idiots."

Here's my report. Jackién is a Dublin fella in case you were wondering below.
Got in about six to the queue at the point. I was fairly pissed off going in that we were late and that some of the mates stopped in Laois for grub. I was delighted to get into the pit when I got in . There was a nice enough crowd in front of us going in.
Had a few buckets of piss and a shot before hitting center stage.
Shack were pretty good , it helped that I knew some of their songs. The vocals mikes were too low for both Oasis and Shack .
When Oasis came out no one could budge for their intro(Fuckin' in the Bushes). It was fairly mental for the first few songs. I was fairly knackered anyway.
Liam didn't sing the ending of Acquise as some fella threw a bottle of water at the speaker in front of him. He dedicated Live forever to Georgie Best But got in a huff half way threw it as either his mike was too low or Noel's guitar was too loud.

Noel was in some bad mood. Said fuck all between songs and glared out at the crowd when they started singing OLE OLe.
While all the band were sweeting , Noel left his jacket on all through , I don''t think that he was into the gig. Couldn't hear what he said between songs. He voices on Importance to be ideal where hardly audible because of the song quality and the fact that he pulls away from the mike when singing the high parts.

Masterplan was good but IMHO it missed the harmonia.

Liam threw his tambourine into the crowd . About 8 fella's went for it. Two came up with it. each had a hold of it on one arm.
One fella was a jackién and the other fella I think was from Cork.
The Cork fella was a few inches shorter but had some size of arms. His shirt was ripped off and he had an Oasis tattoo on his back. He said that he had it first and would have beaten your man if it came down to it. They were arguing over it for about half an hour. One of the jackiéns sly cunts of friends told and bouncers and they tackled the Cork fella. The dub ended up having the tambourine but the Cork fella went after him and I hope that he kicked the shite of him.

When they played My Generation some stupid weedy young fuckers started a mosh pit with all of them shouldering each other in a circle. Do it a Korn you dicks. Noel and Liam were looking down on them going what the fuck!

When they finished LEt there be love came on the live speakers. They should have played it live. No real chance in the setlist. Masterplan for little by little. But a great gig non the less. I am recked today.

Great songs
Great band
Noel is a great songwriter

never bothered to check em out live though
