David, Mark and our token bucket-hatted parka monkey Alex tackle the return of Oasis, its grip on the public imagination and why they’re the biggest band of the last 30 years, which includes …
… the Gallaghers’ mixed fortunes since 2009.
… who won the battle of the underdogs.
… “Noel has a thousand buttons, Liam has a thousand fingers”.
… why the ‘90s was just like the ‘60s, a golden age of British pop culture.
… no whizz-bangs required, no props, no choreography, no lasers, no extras … why Oasis is the cheapest stadium gig to stage imaginable.
… what happens to the ticket money between now and the tour.
… Noel, the media and the common touch.
… “a level of public demand that’s almost a sickness”.
… why “Oasis tickets are like utility bills”.
… the fate of bands that fall out with each other’s wives.
… how Liam was rescued by Debbie Gwyther and Noel’s ruinous divorce.
… the kind of watertight contracts and insurance required to ensure the band won’t fall apart again.
… “Liam, stay away from the fruit bowl!”.
… and Mark’s breakfast with Peggy Gallagher.
