Oasis guitarist leaves fans in stitches with just one word as he hits back at setlist comment
A hilarious reply from Bonehead, the rhythm guitarist from Oasis, has left fans in stitches. The one-word response to a query on X was shared to the r/Oasis Reddit page, where fans praised the founding member. Bonehead began his time with the Manchester band in 1991, leaving in 1999, and has since returned for the Live '25 tour dates.
Following a series of sold out performances at Heaton Park in Manchester, Bonehead took to X and replied to a handful of Oasis fans. But not everyone was full of praise for the show, with a comment made in reply to the legendary guitarist. Bonehead's reply has left fans howling.
Sharing a screenshot of the back and forth to Reddit, fans were left laughing at the one-word reply Bonehead gave a fan. Bonehead, real name Paul Arthurs, wrote: "It's gettin' better man."
A reply to his post reads: "Same setlist as every other night." Bonehead then replied: "And????" Fans have said the post highlights the lighter side to the long-serving guitarist, who joined Liam and Noel Gallagher for the reunion shows this year.
One fan wrote: "Setlist is almost perfect. Why change it." Another replied: "Agreed! Only thing that would make it better is Columbia."
A third user posted: "If they change the setlist, people will get mad when they don't get to hear their favourite song, and rightfully so. Keeping the same setlist throughout the tour is fair to everyone."
Other dedicated fans suggested changing the setlist at such an early point in the tour would make little sense. Oasis has played the same set each night, delighting fans with a series of their best-known hits.
Some have suggested the lack of setlist changes means it is fairer for people going to just one show on the tour. A user wrote: "Not many going to multiple nights around the world tour, who gives a f**k if the set list is the same."
Another added; "They are back together after 16 years, their heyday was 1994-1998, they are capitalising on the time they were everywhere. I'm not sure if a lot of people understand how big they were at that time."
Other fans, who agreed with Bonehead's disregard for the need to change up the setlist, said Oasis were never known for changing up their setlist on previous tours.
One user wrote: "Oasis were never, ever renowned for mixing up the set much (or even playing many songs). Look at the Be Here Now tour (although I noticed recently they played MBM on the first or second night then not again."
Another added: "Honestly the only potential for change that I'd like to see is rotating a few songs in the Bring It On Down and Fade Away slots. Maybe a pool of songs including Columbia, Lyla, SCYHO, Go Let It Out, Hindu Times, maybe Shock of the Lightning."
A third has suggested Noel's four song section could see a few more changes for the setlist. They wrote: "Its a great setlist overall. Some swaping an rotation for variation would be just fun and cool.
"Add Importance Of Being Idle into the first batch of Noel Songs (Talk Tonight, Half The World Away, Little By Little), and play 3 out of the 4 every night."

ScotRail adds extra services for Oasis dates at Murrayfield
ScotRail urged fans to make use of its enhanced timetable on August 8, 9 and 12 as the Mancunian rockers prepare to take over Murrayfield Stadium. The firm is also offering late-night services and increased capacity on its trains. Murrayfield Stadium (Lynne Cameron/PA) The late-night services will operate from Edinburgh to many of Scotland's cities, including Glasgow and Dundee, and other services will go to Perth and Dunblane. When the concert ends, fans are encouraged to make their way promptly to Haymarket station, where a holding area will be in place on Haymarket Terrace to manage crowds. Customers will then be directed to the appropriate queue for their train home. Additional ScotRail staff will be on hand to assist customers and help ensure everything runs smoothly. Phil Campbell, ScotRail customer operations director, said: 'With just a few days to go until the highly anticipated Oasis gigs at Murrayfield, we're really looking forward to helping fans travel to what promises to be an unforgettable series of shows. 'We've got more trains running throughout the Edinburgh Festivals, and we're adding late-night services for the gigs themselves to help fans make the most of the occasion. 'We're encouraging everyone to plan their journey in advance, make the most of the extra services, and soak up the atmosphere of a great night in the capital.'

Oasis gave most ‘ground-shaking' performance of last 20 years
The Gallagher brothers' last Scottish gig has topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said. The June 2009 Oasis gig beat the Red Hot Chili Peppers in June 2004, Kings of Leon in June 2011 and Taylor Swift in June last year – when measuring the peak earthshaking power of each event. The measurements were taken from a nearby seismic monitoring station, some 4km from the venue. At peak power of 215.06Kw, the Oasis gig was more than twice as powerful as the next strongest one by the Red Hot Chili Peppers at 106.87Kw. The rankings were revealed ahead of Oasis's comeback tour arriving in the Scottish capital this weekend – meaning there could be another 'shakermaker'. The power output is not related to the volume of the band or the crowd, rather it is the movement of fans jumping and dancing in time to the music, with the height of the jumping and weight of the crowd also potential factors. The Oasis reunion tour is set to arrive in Scotland (PA) It means the current cohort of Oasis fans' seismic output could perhaps be compared to those of previous years. BGS seismologist Callum Harrison said: 'In 2009, seismic signals generated by Oasis fans were consistent with a crowd energy of 215kW at its peak – enough to power around 30 of the scooters featured on the iconic Be Here Now album cover. 'Our network of sensors around the country is sensitive enough to pick up ground movement from a source miles away that may not be detectable to humans – and precise enough to register exact timestamps for when the events occur. 'The peak energy reading was recorded around 8.30pm on that June evening back in 2009, which correlates to the time the band first took the stage and performed Rock 'N' Roll Star, which couldn't be more fitting in terms of topping our seismic music chart.' The BGS keeps an archive of continuous ground motion recordings from seismic sensors around the country, dating back several decades. Mr Harrison added: 'In this instance we are only looking back over 20 years, however geological processes occur over vast time scales that can be difficult for humans to comprehend. 'Improving our understanding of historical earthquakes is an important part of BGS research in trying to understand and mitigate the seismic risk around the country.' Ahead of the sold-out gigs at Murrayfield, which begin on Friday, Mr Harrison said it is 'certainly possible' they could top the previous gig's output in 2009, adding: 'We'll just have to wait and see.' He said: 'The main contributing factors are going to be how energetic the crowd is. 'If they're jumping along with the music, how high or how fast are they jumping?'
