all this lively debate tells me a couple of things:1. Oasis is still relevant, and that is certainly true of all those spouting off about how they are NOT relevant. How can there be this much debate over a band that doesn't matter anymore? They have been huge for 14 years; whether you like them or not, they're here to stay. (And to all the haters: just because newer and more hip bands have come along since 1997 or so, doesn't mean Oasis is any less good than they were in the 90s. All that means is the music industry is forcing what they want to be the next big thing down your throats, though of course some great new bands have come along in that time. At least Oasis are finally out of Sony's clutches and on their own label, where they belong.)2. Noel must be pretty confident of the new record, though who knows what that means. I say this because the last time I recall Noel having a go at a rapper was 1997 when, in the US at least, there was expected to be a big chart war between Be Here Now & Puff Daddy & The Family. Of course we know who won out that week of August 26th, 1997 in the States. Noel was talking about how he'd like to smack Puff Daddy if he saw him in the street, but he was on loads of "charlie", as he likes to call it, back then.I'm more interested in Noel's thoughts on the Verve reforming and Ashcroft's subsequent comments before Forth is even released, that he fully intends to do more solo material in the future. Oasis are huge fans of the Verve and they haven't said anything about it, they must have been asked by now by someone?
