I've bought it from the UK iTunes

The artwork that comes with it is slightly different to the one shown on the official site

a few things have moved and some things (the eye and hand at the bottom) have completely vanished

where is it? I can;t find it on there at all.

[djibril]

where is it? I can;t find it on there at all.

Think if you just search for Oasis its on the 2nd page, or so I hear.

[Circa1892]

Thanks for the links djibril!

Really like the song. It's miles ahead of the Chemical Brothers remix, which was decent in itself.

It's strange at first, but after a few listens it's great stuff. It's not instant Oasis, but class. Really looking forward to this album now, if The Shock of the Lightning impresses at 7.45am then I reckon this could finally be a genuinely class Oasis album for the first time in a decade!

So it was'nt Osama bin Laden that bombed New York, it was Our Kid

I reckon about £35-£40

It's going to be amazing. We're all gonna have a day to listen to the album before the gig though, unless it leaks

[djibril]

How much will echo tickets be?

Wembley Arena are the only ones listed on Ticketmaster so far at £32.50-£44.  Assume theyll all be the same.

[FinnishRed]

TSOTL imminenet on Radio 1 now.  Cant wait.

Did anyone get this recorded, or have an mp3 of the song?

[grimreaper]

Well well well.

[rednile]

Hope i can get tickets for the Echo , went to the City of Manchester gig a few years back and it was one of the best ive been too .

[Carras Left Foot]

I'll be going to the Liverpool and Brum shows

[Djibriliant]

Yeh I will be getting an Echo ticket for myself, just got to find someone to go with now, I know some Oasis fans

[Carras Left Foot]

I'll be with me bro as always!

Went to Madison Square Garden on the last tour

[markmywords]

Not an instant classic, but it certainly wasn't embarassing, I found Lyla and Hindu Times to be plain embarassing at first and would have turned off half way thru if it wasn't Ossis

Shock..' should grow on me

[Matt S]

For those who missed it you can listen here: http://www.spinner.com/2008/08/15/oasis-shock-of-the-lightning-new-song/

I really like it. Can't wait for the new album now!

[Circa1892]

Really good that is!

Better than Falling Down, and also their best lead single since D'You Know What I Mean, looking really promising this!

Torn between going to the Echo Arena or sticking with Sheffield...

[The G in Gerrard]

How funny is the legend that is Noel Gallagher

[Circa1892]

How funny is the legend that is Noel Gallagher

He was hilarious this morning.

I loved the bit with that lass who he couldn't see talking, especially when he sounded like he genuinely believed she was in his head.

"Noel, you shouldn't have let the others write songs for the album, now you won't get as much money..."

Loved his news aswell "Russia and America aren't happy with each other, we've won nothing and the Olympics and we won't win nothing, and the credit crunch is not a cereal, and Oasis have got a new single out and it's class"...

[Walshy7]

Cant believe 10 years ago people were wondering who was the most talented Damon or Noel/ Blur or Oasis!!

10 Years later one of them has gone on to further his musical horizons, experimenting trying different things producing really interesting excellent music and the other has gone on producing the same old drudge time after time.

Or alternatively, one of them is still an integral part of a phenominally popular band, who, arguably unlike Blur, weren't a flash in the pan. Whereas the other has disappeared so far up his own backside that he's vanished off the radar.

It all depends on your perspective.

Plus, what relevance does this 13 year-old Blur vs Oasis argument really have in the context of this thread? IF there was a "Britop war" then Blur lost. Get over it, everyone else has...

[Walshy7]

Its not about a britpop war, its about how Noel Gallacher hoodwinked a generation in to believing he had talent, people are such oasis fanboys out of loyalty from their teens, they cant see that the music they produce nowadays is very very average.

Damon Albarn is a much more respected artist, and Blur were hardly a flash in the pan, they were releasing albums before oasis and didnt dissband because of waning popularity, quite the opposite.

I was an oasis fan ahead of blur in the early 90's, then i grew up.

I wonder how many songs they will play from any album after 'be here now' at their upcoming gigs? Not many I wouldnt have thought

What's the view like up there on your high horse?

I bet all the little people who have different tastes in music to you are too stupid to share your undisputedly correct assessment of music, look tiny, eh?

[Walshy7]

yes

Er, based on their rehearsal gig setlist the other night

Rock 'n' Roll Star
Lyla
The Shock of the Lightning
Cigarettes and Alcohol
The Meaning of Soul
To Be Where There's Life
Waiting For The Rapture
The Masterplan
Songbird
Slide Away
Morning Glory
Ain't Got Nothing
The Importance of Being Idle
I'm Outta Time
Wonderwall
My Big Mouth
Supersonic

Don't Look Back In Anger (acoustic)
Falling Down
Champagne Supernova
I Am The Walrus

....................I'd make that 10 out of 21 then, nearly 50%.  Sort of defeats that argument.

EDIT - The Masterplan album was actually after Be Here Now so make that 12/21.

[Antony]

Awesome Song

[Walshy7]

just in the process of putting all my cds on pc should take a few weeks!!!

Just doing dont believe the truth, i like the meaning of soul, best song on that album

Personally I can't stand the bloke. I never liked any of blurs albums, great singles but really dull albums. From what I've heard of what he's done since, for the most part I find it pretentious shit. But then isn't that the beauty of music and art in general? One mans shit is another mans gold.

I've always loved oasis. They are what they are, and don't pretend to be anything else. It's how it's always been. It's difficult for me to find anything in their back catalogue that I don't like.

[Circa1892]

they cant see that the music they produce nowadays is very very average.

erm, I'd agree that Standing on the Shoulders and Heathen Chemistry were average. SOTSOG was an experiment that generally failed (apart from Gas Panic which is great, and a few other decent tracks like Sunday Morning Call, Go Let It Out and Where Did It All Go Wrong), but made at a crossroads in the band. Heathen Chemistry was him trying to write Morning Glory again and failing (although Stop Crying Your Heart Out and The Hindu Times are still good tunes I say). Both would be classed as good, 3 or maybe 4 star albums if they were by a band who hadn't had such a great back catalogue. Don't Believe The Truth was a good record though, and the two songs from this one are tops! And he writes good songs, therefore he has talent in my opinion. This doesn't make me a "fanboy" as I'm just a tad too young for the "golden years", just a fan. And if it's not your cup of tea then fair does I suppose!

Spot on

If any other band had made SOTSOG or HC they would have been classed as successes. Oasis were too good too soon.

Personally I love HC. One of my favs. Sotsog could have been so much better if they substituted some of the B-sides for some of the albums tracks, and dispite what others say I actually quite like little james. It is what it is - someones first attempt at writing a song. But as you say it was a crossroads. Half the band left during/just after recording.

[Carras Left Foot]

Not Liams first song if you want to get technical
