The guy who designed the Sgt. Pepper cover, Peter Blake, is designing the cover for Stop The Clocks. It's the first time he designs a cover in i don't know how many years. Apparently he's a fan. |

This is old news, but I thought I would add it to this OASIS topic... The Britpop movement of the '90s tried to start a second British invasion, and its guiding light, Oasis, baldly attempted to re-create the Beatles using everything from song constructions to Noel and Liam Gallagher's mop-top haircuts. The group even titled one of their singles, "Wonderwall," after George Harrison's 1968 film soundtrack "Wonderwall Music." Harrison didn't appreciate the nod. In a 1997 interview with the French magazine Le Figaro, he declared Oasis "not very interesting" and predicted that no one would remember the band in 30 years. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?.../01/MN72382.DTL So, will anyone remember OASIS in 30 years? |

It wasn't up to him to appreciate the nod or not, seeing as he didn't even come up with the title. |

To be honest, it's pretty impossible that they won't, unless there's some mad max type apocalypse or something. They do have the second best selling album ever in Europe, (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, so if people don't remember THAT, I don't know what they will. Note: That Harrison quote was 11 years ago, and 10 years old when they sold out Madison Square Garden last summer in under an hour. So I'm fairly certain he was wrong. |

They didn't have mop top haircuts, cuz mop top haircuts would mean they had long hair, they actually had short hair, and if long it'd be nappy. Compare & Contrast: Paul McCartney w/mop top circa Mid '60s Now take a look at these I'm willing to bet this was before their "britpop" heyday Sometime between mid '96 and mid '97 Noel during a gig, probably anywhere between 1995 and 1997 Liam, same gig Moptop emulation? I think not. The song title thing, whoop-dee-fuckin-doo, he liked the title, Noel could've cared less about Harrison, because I believe Noel said of Harrison, "George was always the quiet Beatle, maybe he should keep that up" and Liam offered to play golf on Harrison's head. Now, musically speaking, ok Noel did take a cue here and there from the Beatles, now to say they were trying to re-create themselves as The Beatles is just preposterous. Ok, granted it wasn't their idea, but, if their former label is releasing an anthology album, I think that means, that: A) They're very much well known & B) Since they're not broken up, it means they're here to stay and to keep putting out records, and make even better singles, so that in another 12 years, their label will put out a longer, even better anthology album, against their will. |

Whoever wrote the script for Wonderwall came up with the name, not Harrison. |

IYes it was an E-bow, played by Noel Gallagher (also makes an appearance in Don't Look Back In Anger among other tracks). In the video you see a cello, but Noel is really playing an E-bow, which is a hand-held, battery-powered electronic device for playing the electric guitar. Instead of having the strings hit by the fingers or a pick, they are moved by the electromagnetic field created by the device, producing a sound reminiscent of using a bow on the strings) in the album credits and no one is given any credit for strings or cello last time I looked. |
