Oasis in Garageland?

When I read New York Magazine call the new Oasis album “unburdened of hubris” I was somewhat skeptical. What would be left of the Gallagher brothers shorn of hubris?  

A pretty good rock and roll band judging from the versions of the new songs I have heard so far from the new tour.  

I had always hoped to use the beginning of the band’s Lord Don’t Slow Me Down as intro music for Senator Clinton at rallies but never really pushed it.  Take a listen. My idea was that she would actually have come on stage at 15 seconds into the song when the guitars explode. Unfortunately at the 30 second mark Liam Gallagher sings “I’m tired and I’m sick,” which was probably not the message we were looking to send.

Oh well, still a great song.

    Oasis!?

    Noel Gallagher once admitted that yes, to make a song he lifts verses from one Beatles song, and adds choruses from other Beatles songs. Then he rehashes ‘em, puts them on a record and he’s done.

    That the stupid masses don’t care, doesn’t make a difference to me; for simply stealing their songs, to me as a musician, they suck.

    I love the new Oasis song as well. The use of the song as a backdrop for Hillary would of been very dramatic indeed (but alas the lyrics). Thanks for recommending the song, I just sent the link to my friends.
