标题[新闻]Alan Mcgee on Oasis
时间Wed Aug 25 14:52:01 2004
Last week, McGee took a look back at Oasis' turbulent career to
coincide with the 10th anniversary of that debut album. McGee
reckons Oasis can live forever, saying: 'You ain't seen nothing
yet.' Here are his highlights of 10 mad, musical years with Oasis.
BEST SECRET
As a songwriter, Noel Gallagher is Oasis' secret weapon. He's an
incredible musician.
He wrote Masterplan, which I rate as one of the greatest songs of
the last 20 years. Noel is always being slagged off for weak lyrics
but listen to the words of this song - they're stunning.
In recent years, Noel has come up with other classic tracks such as
Go Let It Out and Stop Crying Your Heart Out.
What Oasis need to do in future is put 10 great songs on a record,
not just one or two.
BEST BROTHER
LIAM has complete and utter self confidence in his ability. He's a
nutter, incredibly talented and is an amazing vocalist. He has as
much attitude as he has music ability.
For me, there's Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Johnny Rotten and Liam
Gallagher. He's up there with the best. Oasis got so big so fast.
Liam didn't know the rules about growing up in the music industry.
That was an advantage because he never got corrupted by it. He refused
to lick anyone's a***.
One minute, Liam was on the dole queue, the next he was a multi-millionaire
rock idol. He missed out the weary slog in the middle most other artists
have to face. But Noel is a genius. As the years roll on, I think he
gets more and more underrated. He doesn't get enough credit. Some people
think Oasis are not moving music on. But who's really done that?
The Beatles. The Rolling Stones. David Bowie. Only a select few. Oasis'
songs still define a generation.
BEST GIG
I'M in the minority... I thought Oasis were brilliant at Glastonbury.
What was so great about them? I can sum that up in two words - Liam
Gallagher. He looked stunning. Nobody has that kind of attitude or
sheer presence on a stage. I think that, 10 years from now, Oasis could
still be selling out venues the size of Wembley Stadium to 80,000 fans.
What's to stop them? They're one of the best live acts on the planet
BEST BUST UP
THEY fight like cat and dog but underneath it all Liam and Noel basically
love each other. Despite all the fights they'll always be there for
each other. One night I was DJ-ing at my club Death Disco when Liam
wanted to talk. I was playing Girls Girls Girls by Motley Crue and
couldn't hear what he was saying. So Liam just lifted the needle off
the record - mid-song - and had his conversation. The club came to a
standstill. You can either take great offence or see it for what it
was - a great rock 'n' roll moment. He's a nutter. The public will
never get fed up with Liam's antics. You never know what he'll do next.
BEST SONGS
I THINK Oasis can go on for another 10 years because their catalogue
of songs is so excep-tional. Liam and Noel still have more great albums
in them. In terms of new material, it could be said they've gone off
the boil. But as Chuck Berry once said: 'How many good songs do you
need?' Oasis still have 20 better songs than most other bands. The
only danger is Liam and Noel might get fed up and musically take a
break from each other. Don't worry, they'll both make great records
BEST EVER
I'M incredibly proud of having found Oasis. I DJ all over the world
with my Death Disco club night. It's amazing appearing in a place such
as Dublin and for brickies to come and say: 'You changed my life.' First
time they do it you think they're taking the p***. After the 14th time
you realise they mean it. Musically, I don't think I'll ever discover
another group of the stature of Oasis. They changed the whole landscape
of UK rock music.
