It makes you realise just how many good songs Oasis have made over the years. Even from the small snippet of 'The shock of the lightning' sounds as if it's going to be another belter of a track.

Have they not got enough money yet? Do we really have to be subjected to more awful rubbish which, in 12 months, Noel will admit was crap anyway?

This is the usual oasis tired rehash bollocks. The most interesting thing they could do would be to split, then, at least we would be surprised ..

tom00 and dancc, can you please explain to me how songbird sounds the same as lyla, or rock n roll star or wonderwall? muppet, actually listen to it and not just repeat some line that you heard someone else say to atempt to diss oasis.btw the new clip sounds fookin ace. OASIS!!

Bez06, Ok, maybe I was being a little sarcastic, I apologise. However, I still believe they're way over hyped these days and I don't think TSOTL will change my opinion of that. Noel always talks as though he's made the next Nevermind or whatever, but it always turns out a bit....disappointing.

I will never understand people that say bands like Oasis are out of touch, money-hungry or boring. Just because a band sticks around for more than 15 years means all they want is money? Or they sound 'boring'? That's one thing I'll never understand. Because they don't sound like Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Fuckoff or the Pigeon Detectives means all you indie shitheads won't like it and find it boring. Sad.

hoppybhoy, Second Coming wasn't exactly a classic album now, was it? Got every faith that they will release an album on par or better than Definitely Maybe.

Oh, did that clip have MORE THAN ONE Oasis song in, sorry, didn't notice 'till I read all this.....

whatawasteoftime- you complain that you have to be" subjected to this awful rubbish" yet you've managed to take the time to make a comment on the page. bit sad dont you think? stick to the skinny jean indie pop? or whatever

DaveIndieBoy 

Jul 31, 2008

Hmmm...rubbersoul, ALL mancs are brilliant???? Careful with your generalisations, I mean, Gary Neville... ;)"...Lightning" sounds phenomenal...and the new album should be ace. I don't get all this "there are interesting and exciting bands out there with something to say" bobbins...Erm, who exactly?? Who's interviews, and live shows have been consistently exciting for the last fifteen years??? Sorry kids, but the trashy remnants of new rave, and electro-bollocks made by a bunch of mumbling middle-class students ain't gonna be around in fifteen months, let alone fifteen years time...fact. Bring on the new album!!

thanks, rubbersoul7. i'm a manc, too. have fun listening to piss poor indie for the rest of your life.

Sounds like an improvement at least. Now there's just the small matter of the chorus.

In no uncertain terms Oasis are one of, if not THE greatest band of all time. How many people have used the "all sound the same joke", get a grip. It will be a world class album will Dig Out Your Soul and I can't wait for it. I would say to meg.rah that I like Pigeons and Joe Lean but lets be honest none of them are in the league of Oasis. To people dissing them go and listen to your average garbage like Foo Fighters and Interpol, it's about lads rock bands that have made an impact on the music scene forever like The Beatles, The Jam and Oasis not these boring "alternative" sack 'o' wank bands. Dig Out Your Soul this October.

tom and dance... you're better off listening to the mama mia soundtrack, because this is way too good for your taste. ps.if you don't like them, then why did you bother listening to 2.45 minutes of pure oasis classics? MORONS

im not gonna judge a song on a 20-sec clip. and im not gonna judge an entire album on one song. but ever since Heathen Chemistry, everytime oasis puts out a new album there would be fans coming out saying the gallaghers are back to their best, which i can't really agree with. true, there had been a few great single tracks, but the albums were just ok to me.as a long time fan i will still purchase the album regardless, just to show my support. but deep down my heart i dun expect much out of the band in 2008

clarky_07 

Aug 1, 2008

Shit! How can anyone say this is boring? Or that all Oasis songs sound the same? Have a fucking word! This band have been around a little shorter than i've been alive and they've still managed to be the best fucking band in the world! This new album is gonna be fucking colossal! FUCKIN 'AVE IT!

Joy division,the smiths, new order, stone roses, happy mondaysOASIS, the era is back for another decade

That sure is a short preview. It sounds promising, I like that bit of organ in the background. Who's expecting anything else than some pretty good songs from them anyway ? It's just good to have them around, just like Primal Scream. They'll probably never release another classic again, but they've already released two of them (three if you count the Masterplan which is a compilation made of classic B sides) and they still make good rock'n'roll. And they still have the second best british rock frontman alive (next to Gillespie, of course). That's fine by me.

I was only joking, for example, The Ting Tings are mancs and they are the complete opposite to brilliant! I completely agree with DaveIndieBoy's comment. Oasis have their detracors but these people are usually just sheep with nothing new to say. Very few new bands these days will have a career anywhere near as long as Oasis.

akj01

The basic song is good, but they need to know that all their lyrics don't have to be streched out over ridiculously long amounts of time to make it good...'i need to be myselffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff i'll can't be no one elseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' It's just annoying...

Sounds AMAZING! Well and truly fed up with the skinny jean mob havin a go at Oasis. They make music for the masses. Music for people to put their arms round their mates and join in with and rejoice in. Pure honesty in everything they do. That surely is what we would expect of all great bands. That is what Rock and Roll is my friends! Not fuckin..."Cassius it's over, Cassius away" or whatever the pish that is spewn over the pages of NME is these days. They are STILL and WILL ALWAYS be the most important band in Britain.

darko189, calm down, i was joking. By these ' interesting and exciting bands out there with something to say' please dont tell me you're refering to the skinny jeans brigade? By the way, I don't listen to 'piss poor indie' thank you very much.

Greatest Band in history, if you think there crap well i feel sorry for you tbh, don't listen to it then and don't comment on here you bunch of muppets.

to gem 77,to me the second coming was a classic to others it wasnt,its a long going arguement,but to me it is far better than anything oasis have released since whats the story,and you oasis will write another classic on par with definetely maybe,what a load of bollocks,its impossible,the simple fact being they aint angry youngsters from the street anymore,for me it all became boring when bonehead and guigsy left,they dont sound the same,the classics have gone.

hoppybhoy 

Aug 1, 2008

and to soundedd below,what do you mean the greatest band in history,are u having a laugh,maybe the most importantof the 90s,but in history,that goes to the band they have been copying for years,john,paul,george and ringo.

Gem77 

Aug 1, 2008

Second Coming was bollocks, Roses had the world at their feet and instead of carrying the momentum they vanish for 5 years.Of course it's possible, just because it's not the same line up or because they're not angry young men anymore doesn't mean squat.

Soundedd 

Aug 1, 2008

HaHa Hoppybhoy to be honest mate The Beatles are indeed my favourite band of all time and are the best band in history, but I'd put Oasis second. My comment was more to say Oasis are better than any of the other shit people listen to today like Foals and Glasvegas I wasn't really comparing them to The Beatles so relax :)

fuckin agree with meg.rah15fuck off skinny jeans shit fuck!!!what a crap!!!OASIS is the best!!!!!!

steuph1976

akj, that was precisely what made the original Supersonic so great, and nearly all live versions so crap. Liam doesn't bother stretching the words anymore. And they play it much too fast. It kills the laziness of the song. Supersonic was great because it was reaaaaaaaaallly slooooow. Second Coming was bollocks.

josh_b89

Why do so many people hate Second Coming so passionately, if it weren't for the bands rep and the timing people would realize its a damn good album. Anyway Oasis are rock gods and unlike any of the other bands(poor little rich kids) have opinions of their own and real ordinary people can actually relate to them. What you see is what you get and I'll be happy with just a few belters from the new album because thats more than anyone other than the arctics or the libertines have managed since wtsmg. Indie music has just turned into radio friendly shit for middle class kids with no souls so i don't like calling oasis indie. Fuck indie long live rock 'n' roll.

This could have been any song on Don't Believe The Truth. After the first three albums, trying to be The Beatles became a boring, bland novelty for me.
