Supersonic: The Complete, Authorised and Uncut Interviews

Product Information

With over thirty hours of interviews with Liam, Noel and those closest to them, this book documents in unprecedented depth and with their trademark candour and humour, the story behind one of the world's greatest bands, all told in their own words and fully illustrated with exclusive photographs and ephemera throughout.

Oasis are one of the biggest bands the word has ever seen. Here, in Supersonic, they tell the story of the their beginnings from dive-bar hopefuls to global superstars. They themselves talk us through the pivotal moments in their phenomenal trajectory, from the day Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band, through their first crucial five years culminating at their landmark gigs at Knebworth Park in 1996 - the pinnacle of their success. In 2014, circa twintig jaar na zijn eerste ontmoeting met de leden van Oasis, kreeg Simon Halfon de vraag, of hij een korte documentaire over deze band wilde produceren.

Dat Supersonic tot stand is gekomen uit transcripten van de film, is door Simon Halfon merkbaar in het boek verwerkt. Het leest alsof je meeluistert naar gesprekken die worden gevoerd met de bandleden en andere mensen die betrokken zijn geweest bij Oasis of de Gallagher broers. De twee broers komen het vaakst aan het woord, maar er is ook voldoende ruimte voor de overige gesprekspartners. Since this is interviews done for the documentary, it only covers the the period up until their second album and ends in 1996 with their Knebsworth gig. I really wish there was something like this - both documentary & book - for the later Oasis years, even when there's less magic. The later formation is the one I saw live several times and that means a lot to me personally. I also think, somewhat controversly, that Oasis didn't have one bad album, and it would be fun to cover their creation. Tijdens een kop thee in de keuken van Simon Halfon, vertelde Noel Gallagher dat het in augustus 2016 twintig jaar geleden zou zijn dat ze hun historische concerten in Knebworth hadden gegeven. Dit mooie jubileum wilde de band vieren met een korte documentaire. I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Having watched & enjoyed the Supersonic documentary, I figured a lot of it would feel repetitive - but it really didn't. There were a few bits and comments I remember from the documentary, but it mostly felt fresh and there were definitely a few things completely new to me - and I've read tons of interviews and a bunch of books about Oasis over the years. Some of the quotes made me laugh out loud, Noel and Liam would have made a grand stand up duo.De leden van Oasis, en vooral de Gallagher broers, geloofden echt in zichzelf. Ze wisten dat ze afzonderlijk misschien niet de beste muzikanten of zangers waren, maar als band vonden ze zichzelf fantastisch en zo denken ze ook over hun liedjes. Ze oefenden hard, werkten hard, speelden hard, vochten hard, sloopten hard en feestten hard. Ze genoten ervan en vonden het niet belangrijk wat anderen daarvan dachten. Ze vonden het zelf geweldig. En misschien is dat, als je er niemand kwaad mee doet, wel het enige dat er echt toe doet.
