    Best hour and a quarter I’ve invested in a podcast for a long time. First time I have watched so appreciated the interview style and thought Iain was a tremendous guest and story teller with at least another one book in him! It’s a shame you missed out first time around but a mark of you both to go through it again and get it finished 💪

    I was 14/15 when Oasis brought out Definitely Maybe.
    They were the first guitar band I ever got into as I was into hip hop before then.
    I became obsessed.The clothes,the attitude,I started playing guitar and they got me into loads of other bands because they would name check so many in interviews.
    I was lucky enough to see them live numerous times between 95-2009.
    Those gigs between 95-2002 were the best because there was no mobile phones and the gigs were pretty cheap compared to today.
    I got a ticket stub from Earls Court in 97 when the Verve supported for £20.

      There’s not been many bands who’ve had the impact they’ve had on music and fashion! I bet they were great times seeing Oasis all those years, do any gigs stand out? And like you say £20 to see Oasis & The Verve is crazily cheap compared to the prices of concerts today

    I love and am unsurprised to hear that Banarama went so hard, lol. Great interview. I'd be curious to know if @iainrobertson381 thought that Liam's aggressiveness in that period during 1995 was born of insecurity; It was Liam's band in the first place, then Noel elevated them to success - and as Iain mentioned, Noel was more than happy enough to take the spotlight when the occasion arose. I sort of suspect that Noel was psychologically bullying his younger brother for having that presence and voice that the elder just didn't have. Any thoughts Iain?

    Great interview. I shall be buying the book. My take on which iteration of the band should take the stage...I love what Tony did on the debut but he wouldn't do the WTSMG material justice. Whitey had technique and flourish that those songs demand and Tony couldn't deliver, I'm sure. I also doubt Guigsy would do it, so maybe the brothers, Alan, Bonehead, Gem and Andy? Dunno how they'd fit in the extra rhythm guitarist but that's not my problem.

    • @BehindTheCurtainPodcast-
      @BehindTheCurtainPodcast-  3 месяца назад

      I think it should be Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Guigsy, Alan White. If, as you say, Guigsy wouldn’t do it then I’d put Andy Bell in for him but I wouldn’t substitute any of the others for anybody else

    In the 90’a it was imperative to call yourself the best band in the world (and they meant it) No one would listen otherwise! They knew they weren’t the best band in the world but it doesn’t matter. The Kinks called themselves the best band in the world (and they meant it) while The Beatles and The Stones were pissing out No 1’s for fun

With Noel's placements (Moon in Aquarius particularly-a placement shared by Lemmy, Eminem, and John Lennon) it made Noel highly adept and empathetic with the public.
