Andy joined Oasis in 2000 to replace bassist Paul McGuigan, who quit during the recording of the band's fourth album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.

We're so stripped down because that place is so stripped down, which makes the music so stripped down, which makes the words so stripped down. 'It would be ridiculous to try to rock there.

Lizzo also sat down with radio presenter Charlamagne Tha God and hit back at people who criticised her weight loss. She said: 'Put me next to any pop star right now, I'm still bigger than them. I didn't realise how much my body changed until I was filming the Love in Real Life music video. Advertisement 'I was in shock.

Advertisement Joey said: 'I know some people might think you've got to be a genius to manage a smart home, but if I can do it, then anyone can.

With their wedding just months away, Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel are getting into the spirit of things. I'm told the pair invited their nearest and dearest to LA for a posh engagement bash to celebrate their nuptials. Advertisement A source said: 'Matty and Gab threw a fancy party and he flew his family over from the UK. 'They hired a rooftop bar in LA and his parents Tim Healy and Denise Welch were there, along with one of his aunts and Gab's family.

Oasis fans make tour prediction about band's 'best live song'
Oasis fans have been debating the band's best ever live performance - but sadly for those who agree, it's unlikely to feature on the upcoming reunion tour setlist Oasis fans believe one particular song makes for the band's most epic live performance ever, but the chances of it gracing the setlist at their highly anticipated reunion concert seem pretty slim. Oasis fans have been speculating about the potential set and reminiscing on Reddit, particularly about one killer track unlikely to be played when the group hits the stage again. Noel Gallagher and his brother Liam are gearing up to perform together for the first time in over a decade come July. While the hit-packed setlist is eagerly awaited by many, there's chatter among the faithful regarding the inclusion of the band's more obscure bangers. A passionate fan wrote on Reddit: "Honestly, I think Gas Panic! at Wembley 2000 is the best live song Oasis ever did. The whole vibe is unreal-dark, trippy, powerful. That intro alone feels like you're about to witness something big, and then Liam comes in and just absolutely owns it. "When he sings 'an hour to sing for his soul'... man, it's majestic. Gives me chills every time. He doesn't just sing it-he means it. You can feel the weight in his voice. "It's one of those moments where everything hits perfectly: his delivery, the band's energy, the crowd going mad. "It also shows how good Standing on the Shoulder of Giants material could be live-seriously underrated stuff." However, some ardent followers are quick to point out that given lead vocalist Liam Gallagher's evolving singing voice, the triumphant return of this specific number might not happen. One enthusiast praised the song, writing: "Proper stadium rock song that. Liam's voice was just good enough at this point in mid-2000 (nowhere near as good as early-2000) to deliver an ethereal vocal performance at that first Wembley gig. "The visuals on the tele, the intro, the harmony, the atmosphere of a proper stadium gig on a hallowed turf. I mean, you can't go wrong whatsoever." Another fan chimed in: "I know the shows themselves were rough to get through, but I was always surprised that the live album Familiar To Millions got as much flack as it did. "For me it's pretty much flawless, dripping with attitude. I can't remember the last time I listened to the studio version of Gas Panic, after hearing this live version." Meanwhile, another commented: "This is a top career moment for them. I know that the audio is spliced with the Yokohama gigs all over the place, but this song and performance in particular is probably my favourite of theirs overall." Separately, debates amongst the fans suggest it's a toss-up whether Gas Panic will be included in setlists, noticing the track has made sporadic appearances in some of Liam Gallagher's solo performances. Another naysayer claimed there's "zero chance" of the track's return, hinting that Noel Gallagher might "veto" the song from future gigs.

Oasis re-release Standing on the Shoulder of Giants with 25th anniversary LP and T-shirts
Oasis have announced they will release a 25th anniversary edition of their fourth album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants this month. Ahead of their comeback tour, the band are revisiting their 2000 record by making it available on a limited edition silver vinyl LP and limited edition purple vinyl LP. The band have also released anniversary T-shirts. Standing on the Shoulder of Giants will be back in shops and on their website on Friday, February 28, exactly 25 years after its initial release. Back in 2000, the record was not their best received and coincided with a general downturn in fortunes for both the band and the Britpop scene. However, the album did spawn their long-time walk on instrumental Fuckin' in the Bushes and also Little James, which was an early songwriting effort by Liam Gallagher. Until that point, all Oasis songs had been written by his brother Noel. It was also the first to feature guitarist Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell, who would become longtime members, alongside drummer Alan White. Founding members Guigsy and Bonehead had left the band after their third album Be Here Now. Standing on the Shoulder of Giants reached number one in the UK, selling more than 600,000 units to go double platinum. The first single, Go Let It Out, also reached the UK's number one and Who Feels Love? made number four. However, it is not one fondly remembered by Noel Gallagher. 'Spike [producer Mike Stent] was really good at technically recording it,' he said in 2009. 'The sounds on that album on Who Feels Love? and Go Let It Out are brilliant, but the songs are not there. It's symbolic of the record, the sound is pretty good, the playing is good, but the songs are not there. There are no killer singles on it.' In another interview, Gallagher added: 'I got bogged down trying to reinvent something… But all the lyrics to that album are amazing. There are some real proper pieces of music there… But we were all coming out of the party and it was like recording an album with a serious hangover.' Oasis have not said if they have plans to re-release their 2005 album Don't Believe the Truth for its 20th anniversary, or if they will put out an album of new material. Their tour kicks off in July in Cardiff and will take in seven dates at London's Wembley Stadium.

Oasis Announce 25th Anniversary Edition of ‘Standing on the Shoulder of Giants' LP In Advance of Reunion Tour
Oasis are prepping a 25th anniversary reissue of their fourth studio album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, which will be released in a pair of limited-edition vinyl versions on Feb. 28. The fourth album from the Britpop superstars was released in February 2000 and marked a left-turn into more electronic-based psychedelic sound featuring drum loops, electric sitar, Mellotron, synthesizers, backwards guitar and samples layered into their signature heady, Beatles-inspired rock sound on the bull rush opening track 'F****n' In the Bushes' and the swirling 'Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is.' The collection also featured one of their classic acoustic ballads, the single 'Go Let It Out,' as well as singles 'Where Did It All Go Wrong?,' 'Who Feels Love?' and 'Sunday Morning Call.'

Fire Relief Album NewJeans Change Name to NJZ in Midst of Ongoing ADOR Feud Friday's (Feb. 7) announcement came just 147 days (but who's counting?) before formerly battling brothers singer Liam and guitarist/songwriter/occasional singer Noel Gallagher kick off their eagerly anticipated 2025 reunion tour. The anniversary edition of the album will be issued in silver vinyl and an official store-exclusive blue and purple marble edition on the anniversary of the LP's original release on Feb. 28, 2000. They also teased a new lyric video for 'Go Let It Out,' slated to premiere at 11 a.m. ET on Friday. A press release announcing the reissue noted that the album marked a new era for the group, with 'Go Let It Out' the first release on the Gallaghers' Big Brother Recordings Ltd. label, established after the sudden shuddering of their former label, Creation Records. Oasis are slated to kick off their 2025 stadium tour on July 4 with the first of two dates at Cardiff, UK's Principality Stadium, after which they will criss-cross the UK and Ireland before hopping over to North America on August 24 for a show at Rogers Stadium in Toronto. They will hit Chicago, New Jersey and Los Angeles before moving on to Mexico City, South Korea, Japan, Australia and South America, winding down with a Nov. 23 show in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
