"Hello, Manchester!"

[Lennon]

Hello,

my name is Joakim and I have been registered on this great forum for a couple of weeks after getting an invite from my best mate joakim, who I am sure most of you know who is.

I have been mad fer it since the early months of 1996. It actually started in 1995 when I bought WTSMG, but it took a couple of months to really turn me on. I actually remember the exact moment. I was sitting in my room listening to the album and during Some Might Say it suddenly snapped. A new fan were born and I haven't looked back in anger since.

My favourite album is Don't Believe The Truth, closely followed by (What's the Story) Morning Glory?. My favourite song is Cigarettes And Alcohol, favourite b-side is Stay Young, favourite post-Oasis album is BE and favourite post-Oasis song is Freaky Teeth. These favourites are subject to change though, depending on the mood!

I am not a huge collector as many of you are, but I have of course the official stuff on CD (including the Goal soundtrack and Rock the Docks...), some of the vinyls, a lot of bootlegs and, the only rare(?) thing in my tiny collection, the Standing on the Shoulders of Giants promo cassette.

I have seen Oasis live 17 times + a handful of "solo" gigs. My gigography is as follows...

Oasis:

1997 - Oslo Spektrum

2000 - Quart Festival, Wembley Stadium (both nights)

2002 - Finsbury Park (all three nights)

2005 - Hampden Park, City of Manchester Stadium (2nd and 3rd night), Brussels Vorst Nationaal, Milano FilaForum

2006 - Oslo Spektrum

2008 - Copenhagen Falconer Salen

2009 - Gothenburg Scandinavium Arena, Oslo Spektrum, Wembley Stadium (3rd night)

Noel:

2007 - Royal Albert Hall (with Gem and Terry)

2010 - Royal Albert Hall (with Gem and Terry, both nights)

2011 - Copenhagen Koncerthuset (with HFB)

2012 - Liverpool Echo Arena (with HFB)

Beady Eye:

2011 - Amsterdam Paradiso

Other favourite bands of mine include Nirvana, Foo Fighters, The Beatles, Neil Young, Green Day, The Doors, CCR, Queen, Bob Dylan, Aerosmith, Johnny Cash, BRMC, The Kinks, REM, U2, Led Zeppelin, Tenacious D and The Who to name a few.

Anyway, enough about me. I'm looking forward to discuss the best band there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be with you guys!

You may clap.

Hello, Joakim, hope you're well

Stay Young really should have been on Be Here Now...

I'm fine, thanks.

Yeah, it should definitely have been on BHN. I think I would have swapped it with I Hope I Think I Know (aka "the one that nobody mentions" according to Noel). What about you?

It's funny you should ask, because I've been listening to the tunes from that period a lot recently. I've created an alternate Be Here Now playlist, a double album in the style of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti...

01 Dyou Know What I Mean?
02 Magic Pie
03 Going Nowhere
04 My Big Mouth
05 (I Got) The Fever
06 Stand By Me
07 I Hope, I Think, I Know

08 The Girl In The Dirty Shirt
09 Fade In-Out
10 Don't Go Away
11 Stay Young
12 All Around The World
13 My Sister Lover
14 Angel Child
15 AATW (reprise)

The tunes are still there and the ridiculous length of the tracks feels more acceptable as a double album. I've got Stay Young in there instead of Be Here Now which I'm not a fan of nowadays for some reason but yeah, I would have got rid of I Hope, I Think, I Know too tbh but it's hard to find something to put after Stand By Me due to the transition between the tracks

Great playlist! You could use the single edit of SBM which has a "clean" outtro, then you could finish off side 1 with Be Here Now. Would be great what with the toilet flushing.

Hahaha, and cheers! I'm not trying to sound like a Billy Big-Bollocks here but if you've got the time, give it a go, I've been listening to it all week and I think it works pretty well tbh. And nice one for the heads-up, I may do that actually, though I'd probably just go straight to The Girl In The Dirty Shirt and end the side with that lovely piano outro.

I might just do that! I like making my own playlists and mix tapes (well, "tapes" as in cd-r's). Cheers!
