Yeah... an Oasis thread.. Don't all moan at once.
Anyone seen this? They've remastered Be Here Now in an attempt to extract even more money from the old rope that was the biggest selling pile of shite in 1997.
Anyway, it's mostly still
shee-ite, but one of the bonus discs includes a "rethink" of DYKWIM - basically a remix by Noel with the guitar wound down to only about 4 tracks per channel so you can actually hear the bass and drums and strings. It's rather good in a way that's completely opposed to how the extra clarity in the remastered Definitely Maybe maybe missed the point a little.

And just made 10,000 times better. Proof that Coke ruins creativity. Noel has been so much more interesting since giving up the powder and giving up on the Gobshite
I think I actually like the original version better.

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
It also reminds me of a generally happy period in life - so I like it...
yeah, listen to some '94 gigs and his voice is even more articulate, you do forget how powerful he was compared the charicature he turned into
New one sounds wimpy.
I do really like oasis though, sometimes think the personalities are a bit distracting but the songs themselves are quite fun
Not sure if I prefer this over the original or not..
It wouldn't surprise me if I quite like DYKWIM and can almost 'hear' a much heavier arrangement in my head because it's actually something I've heard before and can't put a finger on.

Everytime I hear a new song by NG on the radio, his music seems to get worse and worse, to a laughably bad cliched and boring form. He seems to be drunk on his own sense of self importance, when they stopped being relevant from that album onwards.
I think what made Oasis attractive, was that we were all in on the joke - we knew they were a bunch but of chancers - but could come up with an anthem like 'Slide Away'. In spite of nonesensical lyrics, shoddy playing, Liam's ridiculous vocal mannerisms - there was something genuinely life-affirming about the noise they made. And on occasion ('Half a World Away') - genuinely moving.
