For all Tony's limitations, there's no way this album would have sounded the same with a more technically gifted drummer. You don't want innovative fills on songs like Rock N' Roll Star, Bring It On Down and Supersonic, do you? You want it loud, brutal and to the point. Did the drums ever sound better on any other Oasis record?

[longview1987]

@jcrawley1 agreed, but he would've sounded shit on the next record, Andy White was perfect for Wonderwall and Don't Look Back, etc..

[jcrawley1]

@longview1987 Alan White. Andy White was the drummer George Martin brought in to drum on Love Me Do.

@jcrawley1 o right, lol

@maboroshi1986 Chill, my friend - my comment wasn't a criticism of you... :)

I was just saying that the idea of Noel suing *anyone* for plagiarism, given the lawsuits he'd be opening himself up to doing so, is absolutely ludicrous on the face of it!

[maboroshi1986]

@turricaned i know about that...you do remember the comment i was replying to right?, i was just saying that noel didn't sue green day over boulevard of broken dreams and of the existence of boulevard of broken songs.

@StrummingSparrow Keith Cameron - as it says on the video. ;) He was an NME staff writer in the '90s, and actually managed to piss Kurt Cobain off quite impressively (read Azerrad's "Come As You Are" for the full story) - though given that Everett True avoided the same fate largely by kissing Courtney Love's arse, I'm not sure I'd read too much into that.

@maboroshi1986 Noel ripped off "Wonderwall" on "D'You Know What I Mean", as did Travis on "Writing To Reach You". Wonderwall itself is "Talk Tonight" sort-of backwards.

All art is plagiarism. :)

@jcrawley1 Whitey's a great drummer, don't get me wrong - but he was way too busy on songs that required the sledgehammer approach and didn't hit hard enough. He also played the exact same rhythm on far too many songs ('cos he was following Noel's strumming pattern too much and didn't stand up to him).

To me Digsys Dinner is not Rubish... I have always understanded it like it was this speciel, different boy who invites a friend/girlfriend hom to his strange house with strange things. Its about the feeling when a different boy ask a new friend/girlfriend home to him because he think it will be fantastic!!! thats what it means to me (in short version!)!...

@MrEwant1980

I don't hear that at all.

[StrummingSparrow]

will someone please tell me the name of that scottish journalist who talks about the transparency of noels influences and compares him to kurt? i'm doing a write-up where i'm quoting him and I keep searching for his name to come up in this but I haven't seen it, or keep missing it. all i can gather is he's probably one of the MOJO magazine writers.

I share Noel's disbelief that he snuck the "might as well do the white line" bit passed censors.
