why they cut out the live part

[ABSOLUTERADIO]

We haven't got permission from the record company to put the live tracks on Youtube. Sorry, but it's out of our hands. :(

[Manics1989]

Best. Band. Ever.

[mccc67]

James is the musical dictator...of the band, hahahahha, I love it.

i thought natwest barclays midlands lloyds was great!

[Sophie27987]

I'd love after he asked how long have you had those lyrics? Nicky answered "2 months" the guy wouldn't have even questioned it. Bit of a stupid question. I bet he loves their album JOURNEY for plague lovers.

james doesn´t seem to feel comfortable at all...

[HarvsPenzance]

Is James actually Mark Thomas in disguise?

[PhilSupernova88]

Geoff Lloyd shows he knew fuck all. Design for Life came out in '96 yet Oasis played Maine Rd in 94! What planet is he on?

To legend145, I completely disagree, I think this guy is a complete arsehole, he hasn't got a fucking clue what he's talking about, and you can see that James is totally uncomfortable with all the "Joy Division" references.

Really good interview, touches on all aspects of the band. Geoff Lloyd came across as an excellent interviewer.
