21
00:01:10,805 --> 00:01:14,165
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Show go on podcast?

22
00:01:14,445 --> 00:01:18,325
Speaker 2: Last year, when the unthinkable was announced that the Gallagher brothers,

23
00:01:18,525 --> 00:01:20,805
Speaker 2: Liam and Know were actually going to do the unthinkable

24
00:01:21,045 --> 00:01:24,045
Speaker 2: and having interviewed them both separately so many times over

25
00:01:24,085 --> 00:01:27,325
Speaker 2: the years. Liam had always been up for a reunion.

26
00:01:27,525 --> 00:01:30,085
Speaker 2: Noel was very much never up for him, and a

27
00:01:30,085 --> 00:01:32,045
Speaker 2: lot of people like, what's brought them mat together again?

28
00:01:32,125 --> 00:01:34,405
Speaker 2: Is it the millions and millions and millions. I'm sure

29
00:01:34,445 --> 00:01:36,525
Speaker 2: that's factored into him. I don't think it's all about

30
00:01:36,565 --> 00:01:39,085
Speaker 2: that they've been offered so much money to do Glastonbury

31
00:01:39,365 --> 00:01:41,925
Speaker 2: just as a one off show. Can you two just

32
00:01:41,965 --> 00:01:44,365
Speaker 2: be on the same massive stage one hundred feet apart

33
00:01:44,445 --> 00:01:47,405
Speaker 2: at Glastonbury? The pyramid stage is huge. You don't have

34
00:01:47,445 --> 00:01:49,645
Speaker 2: to talk to each other. You stand there, you stand

35
00:01:49,685 --> 00:01:51,245
Speaker 2: on the other side of the wing. You weren't like

36
00:01:51,325 --> 00:01:54,005
Speaker 2: twenty million each, they still said no to that. I

37
00:01:54,045 --> 00:01:56,525
Speaker 2: think it's about them getting into their middle of their life.

38
00:01:56,885 --> 00:01:59,245
Speaker 2: And I think it's their mum who's not been very well, Peggy,

39
00:01:59,365 --> 00:02:01,885
Speaker 2: who's had too many Christmases where her sons can't beat

40
00:02:01,925 --> 00:02:02,605
Speaker 2: the table with her.

41
00:02:02,885 --> 00:02:04,125
Speaker 1: I think it's all of that.

42
00:02:04,485 --> 00:02:07,485
Speaker 2: And I saw an interview last year where one of

43
00:02:07,565 --> 00:02:10,405
Speaker 2: their I think it was Liam's son, said that obviously

44
00:02:11,005 --> 00:02:13,445
Speaker 2: Liam and Noell have children now and they're in their twenties,

45
00:02:13,484 --> 00:02:15,924
Speaker 2: so they're not kids don't fully understand why their two

46
00:02:15,965 --> 00:02:18,725
Speaker 2: uncles don't speak to each other. And obviously they've gone online,

47
00:02:18,725 --> 00:02:21,125
Speaker 2: they've listened to the music. They know this family story

48
00:02:21,125 --> 00:02:23,565
Speaker 2: and this happens to families all over the world from

49
00:02:23,565 --> 00:02:26,085
Speaker 2: like the raw family now fractured and two brothers that

50
00:02:26,245 --> 00:02:29,405
Speaker 2: can't be together in their fifties and so, and they

51
00:02:29,445 --> 00:02:31,805
Speaker 2: said it started to become really awkward why they couldn't

52
00:02:32,005 --> 00:02:33,805
Speaker 2: They were worried about going to talk to each other

53
00:02:33,805 --> 00:02:35,925
Speaker 2: because obviously that's so much to talk about. The dads

54
00:02:35,925 --> 00:02:37,645
Speaker 2: were in one of the biggest, most important bands in

55
00:02:37,685 --> 00:02:40,205
Speaker 2: the world. You don't even get to talk to, you know,

56
00:02:40,245 --> 00:02:42,485
Speaker 2: a family relative like that crazy And so.

57
00:02:42,525 --> 00:02:44,205
Speaker 1: I think that it became a bigger, bigger thing.

58
00:02:44,245 --> 00:02:46,085
Speaker 2: Where is that really going to be the legacy of

59
00:02:46,085 --> 00:02:48,965
Speaker 2: Oasis is they were just two brothers that couldn't get

60
00:02:49,005 --> 00:02:51,685
Speaker 2: back together. So it's an amazing story and rock and

61
00:02:51,725 --> 00:02:54,245
Speaker 2: roll has these stories. And when it was announced last year,

62
00:02:54,285 --> 00:02:56,285
Speaker 2: what was incredible. I never thought I'd ever see Oasis

63
00:02:56,285 --> 00:02:58,565
Speaker 2: back together and it's just like they both were like

64
00:02:58,605 --> 00:03:00,445
Speaker 2: it was just I couldn't see how it could ever happen.

65
00:03:00,725 --> 00:03:03,165
Speaker 2: And then when it was announced, it became this incredible

66
00:03:03,605 --> 00:03:06,325
Speaker 2: global news event, and over the last couple of years,

67
00:03:06,325 --> 00:03:08,765
Speaker 2: the biggest demand tickets have been Taylor Swift. And I

68
00:03:08,805 --> 00:03:11,245
Speaker 2: was with my daughters last year at the MCG the

69
00:03:11,285 --> 00:03:13,845
Speaker 2: Eras tour and it was incredible. I saw what it

70
00:03:13,885 --> 00:03:17,085
Speaker 2: did to all the wide eyed fans that her music

71
00:03:17,565 --> 00:03:19,924
Speaker 2: really really speaks to them. It connects them. They're drawn

72
00:03:19,965 --> 00:03:22,245
Speaker 2: to Taylor Swift. This was me an Oasis when I

73
00:03:22,285 --> 00:03:23,045
Speaker 2: was in my twenties one.

74
00:03:23,085 --> 00:03:23,925
Speaker 1: I had no money.

75
00:03:24,165 --> 00:03:26,245
Speaker 2: There were two working class boys like me from very

76
00:03:26,245 --> 00:03:29,045
Speaker 2: poor backgrounds. They just lit so many people up. They're

77
00:03:29,045 --> 00:03:32,765
Speaker 2: about dreaming big. They actually dreamt big. They made their

78
00:03:32,885 --> 00:03:35,565
Speaker 2: dream happen and living it large. And that's what you

79
00:03:35,605 --> 00:03:38,365
Speaker 2: want from your rock stars. Now rock stars don't speak

80
00:03:38,365 --> 00:03:41,125
Speaker 2: and behavior like that for very good reasons. Okay, back

81
00:03:41,165 --> 00:03:43,605
Speaker 2: in the nineties they were that energy where you could

82
00:03:43,685 --> 00:03:46,205
Speaker 2: dream big and actually make it happen. There was something

83
00:03:46,365 --> 00:03:49,965
Speaker 2: very magnetic about Oasis and the way they were. Haven't

84
00:03:49,965 --> 00:03:53,325
Speaker 2: seen them live over the years. You know, the live

85
00:03:53,365 --> 00:03:55,525
Speaker 2: show isn't really about the quality of the music, It's

86
00:03:55,565 --> 00:03:57,205
Speaker 2: about the connection with the fans.

87
00:03:57,405 --> 00:03:57,765
Speaker 1: I saw it.

88
00:03:57,805 --> 00:04:00,725
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift completely different acts, but the same that wide

89
00:04:00,765 --> 00:04:04,005
Speaker 2: eyed what it's like to have your favorite band that

90
00:04:04,085 --> 00:04:06,965
Speaker 2: really just connects you in ways you don't really fully understand.

91
00:04:07,205 --> 00:04:09,685
Speaker 2: So what I'm saying is this news that is now

92
00:04:09,725 --> 00:04:13,005
Speaker 2: only that last year was next year. They're coming to London,

93
00:04:13,045 --> 00:04:16,925
Speaker 2: They're coming to Australia, They're coming to Melbourne, getting tickets,

94
00:04:16,925 --> 00:04:19,724
Speaker 2: trying to get tickets. That now is now next month.

95
00:04:19,805 --> 00:04:22,404
Speaker 2: They've been rehearsing over the last couple of weeks. I

96
00:04:22,404 --> 00:04:24,605
Speaker 2: can tell you I've got friends who've been to the rehearsals.

97
00:04:24,924 --> 00:04:28,485
Speaker 2: Lim isn't even there yet. Oh so right now, no

98
00:04:29,164 --> 00:04:30,844
Speaker 2: wants had grown ups in the room for a while.

99
00:04:30,924 --> 00:04:33,085
Speaker 2: First of all, before we've beat the old Bruce Cannon

100
00:04:33,125 --> 00:04:35,445
Speaker 2: in I wreck, E's going to do it like two

101
00:04:35,484 --> 00:04:37,404
Speaker 2: days before they go on stage.

102
00:04:37,445 --> 00:04:39,245
Speaker 1: You know, all right, we've done the hard work. Brother,

103
00:04:39,364 --> 00:04:40,445
Speaker 1: You turn up and do your bit.

104
00:04:40,484 --> 00:04:43,844
Speaker 2: Okay, just wander on stage and stare at the crowd menacingly.

105
00:04:44,245 --> 00:04:47,445
Speaker 2: So this is an amazing prize. I am so jealous

106
00:04:47,844 --> 00:04:49,844
Speaker 2: to be there in London at Wembley Stadium, which is

107
00:04:49,844 --> 00:04:52,645
Speaker 2: an amazing venue, ninety thousand people. How many sold out

108
00:04:52,724 --> 00:04:54,085
Speaker 2: nights are Wastes doing in Wembley?

109
00:04:54,245 --> 00:04:56,884
Speaker 1: Seven and seventeen in the UK that's sold out in

110
00:04:57,445 --> 00:04:58,445
Speaker 1: record record time.

111
00:04:58,724 --> 00:05:01,565
Speaker 2: It's the biggest demand for a live concert ever in

112
00:05:01,604 --> 00:05:04,125
Speaker 2: the UK, Bigger than Beyonce, bigger than Taylor Swift and

113
00:05:04,164 --> 00:05:06,404
Speaker 2: fat for men and women of a certain age. This

114
00:05:06,565 --> 00:05:10,124
Speaker 2: is our eras tour, This says, actually my era. So

115
00:05:10,125 --> 00:05:12,164
Speaker 2: I've finally worked out what it is and I know

116
00:05:12,205 --> 00:05:13,244
Speaker 2: it is for a lot of people, but just a

117
00:05:13,325 --> 00:05:16,045
Speaker 2: huge demand here in Australia for the shows in Melbourne

118
00:05:16,604 --> 00:05:19,245
Speaker 2: Marvel as well, just selling out so quickly. So we're

119
00:05:19,245 --> 00:05:22,044
Speaker 2: going to fly two of you to London July the

120
00:05:22,164 --> 00:05:25,525
Speaker 2: twenty fifth, and that's the first night in London.

121
00:05:25,525 --> 00:05:26,325
Speaker 1: And Re and I were just.

122
00:05:26,245 --> 00:05:30,044
Speaker 2: Saying, I'm actually just because to be there when those

123
00:05:30,044 --> 00:05:34,484
Speaker 2: two boys walk on stage together and then start up

124
00:05:34,565 --> 00:05:36,725
Speaker 2: whatever the first song is, I wouldn't be surprised if

125
00:05:36,724 --> 00:05:39,364
Speaker 2: it is, what's the story Morning Glory? Like they pick

126
00:05:39,364 --> 00:05:42,084
Speaker 2: it up, like the sixteen years of animosity, It doesn't

127
00:05:42,125 --> 00:05:45,005
Speaker 2: matter anymore. It all just dissolves the back. Who cares

128
00:05:45,005 --> 00:05:47,525
Speaker 2: why they're back? We get to have it one more time,

129
00:05:47,724 --> 00:05:50,484
Speaker 2: to re experience that joint. You're not just reconnecting with

130
00:05:50,525 --> 00:05:53,685
Speaker 2: the band into their fifties. I think actually you're reconnecting

131
00:05:53,804 --> 00:05:57,124
Speaker 2: with that twenty or teenage version of yourself. There's always

132
00:05:57,205 --> 00:06:00,045
Speaker 2: that band where at some time in your life they

133
00:06:00,085 --> 00:06:02,805
Speaker 2: come to you at the right time, they're they're everything too.

134
00:06:02,885 --> 00:06:04,284
Speaker 2: And that was the waste from me in many people

135
00:06:04,325 --> 00:06:06,445
Speaker 2: all over the world. So this is an amazing price.

136
00:06:06,484 --> 00:06:08,565
Speaker 2: We're going to fly two of you to London to

137
00:06:08,604 --> 00:06:09,885
Speaker 2: put you up in a great hotel right in the

138
00:06:09,885 --> 00:06:12,044
Speaker 2: middle of London. So even in London in the summertime,

139
00:06:12,245 --> 00:06:14,684
Speaker 2: well theory in the summertime, so don't I would put

140
00:06:14,685 --> 00:06:16,804
Speaker 2: that in the tea's and c's. He did say it

141
00:06:16,844 --> 00:06:18,885
Speaker 2: should be summertime, but I haven't been through so many

142
00:06:18,885 --> 00:06:21,325
Speaker 2: of those UK summers it carry a bit sketchy.

143
00:06:21,404 --> 00:06:23,885
Speaker 1: Hopefully it'd be summertime. It should been three summertime.

144
00:06:24,005 --> 00:06:25,444
Speaker 2: You'll have a great week in London and on that

145
00:06:25,484 --> 00:06:28,085
Speaker 2: Friday night on behalf of the show you'll be reviewing it.

146
00:06:28,125 --> 00:06:30,765
Speaker 2: On the Monday back you'll be there to see history,

147
00:06:30,804 --> 00:06:34,124
Speaker 2: basically rock and roll history in London. So the way

148
00:06:34,125 --> 00:06:35,404
Speaker 2: you do this, I want you to I want us

149
00:06:35,445 --> 00:06:37,244
Speaker 2: to go to a fan. Obviously, I am aware that

150
00:06:37,284 --> 00:06:39,485
Speaker 2: this is a great prize, but I really, my heart

151
00:06:39,525 --> 00:06:41,125
Speaker 2: really does want to be giving it to someone that

152
00:06:41,245 --> 00:06:43,485
Speaker 2: is an Oasis fan that isn't just doing this to

153
00:06:43,484 --> 00:06:45,285
Speaker 2: get a trip to London, and I'd understand if you

154
00:06:45,325 --> 00:06:47,444
Speaker 2: want to do that, please don't take part in this.

155
00:06:47,604 --> 00:06:49,445
Speaker 2: I want it to go to fan that is really

156
00:06:49,525 --> 00:06:51,844
Speaker 2: going to be one of those whoever is you're taking

157
00:06:51,844 --> 00:06:54,084
Speaker 2: out there, whether you're looking at each other, will always

158
00:06:54,284 --> 00:06:54,765
Speaker 2: remember this.

159
00:06:54,844 --> 00:06:55,124
Speaker 1: I can't.

160
00:06:55,245 --> 00:06:57,525
Speaker 2: It's even better in a way seeing them when they're

161
00:06:57,525 --> 00:06:59,484
Speaker 2: at the peak of their powers in the nineties. There's

162
00:06:59,525 --> 00:07:02,245
Speaker 2: something more magical about something which didn't look like it

163
00:07:02,284 --> 00:07:03,845
Speaker 2: was ever going to happen. You'll be part of rock

164
00:07:03,844 --> 00:07:06,125
Speaker 2: and roll history to say, oh, I was there. I

165
00:07:06,205 --> 00:07:08,804
Speaker 2: was actually there the opening night in London with all

166
00:07:08,885 --> 00:07:11,405
Speaker 2: of that energy and excitement and joy again. So the

167
00:07:11,485 --> 00:07:12,884
Speaker 2: way you do this, I'm asking you to pick an

168
00:07:12,925 --> 00:07:15,085
Speaker 2: Oasis song, any Oasis song, there are so many.

169
00:07:14,925 --> 00:07:15,485
Speaker 1: To pick from.

170
00:07:15,804 --> 00:07:19,645
Speaker 2: Write your own lyrics about why we should pick you

171
00:07:19,965 --> 00:07:22,085
Speaker 2: and send it to me. The number one thing to

172
00:07:22,085 --> 00:07:24,725
Speaker 2: remember with this competition, we've done this company us before,

173
00:07:25,045 --> 00:07:28,085
Speaker 2: wildly entertaining. You know what I'm about to say, Rio,

174
00:07:28,364 --> 00:07:33,045
Speaker 2: this is not a singing competition. You do sing, but

175
00:07:33,125 --> 00:07:36,005
Speaker 2: this is not idle. It's not x factor. It's more

176
00:07:36,045 --> 00:07:38,605
Speaker 2: about energy and passion and haven't seen the boys live

177
00:07:38,685 --> 00:07:42,645
Speaker 2: so many times? Not great life sometimes not great life,

178
00:07:42,685 --> 00:07:44,885
Speaker 2: too much drink and the rest of it doesn't look

179
00:07:44,885 --> 00:07:47,684
Speaker 2: after your vocal course, lads, not great life. It was

180
00:07:47,804 --> 00:07:50,645
Speaker 2: never about that, you know. It's more about the energy

181
00:07:50,725 --> 00:07:53,445
Speaker 2: and the passion and the enthusiasm. That's what's going to

182
00:07:53,485 --> 00:07:55,525
Speaker 2: win this. See so's sing it and win it. To

183
00:07:55,565 --> 00:07:58,725
Speaker 2: go and see Oasis live in London, you can email

184
00:07:58,804 --> 00:08:00,925

00:08:01,245 --> 00:08:03,845
Speaker 2: You write your own lyrics to any Oasis song about

186
00:08:03,885 --> 00:08:06,925
Speaker 2: why it should be you winning your way there? Email

Speaker 2: up online as well. But the most important thing you

190
00:08:13,685 --> 00:08:15,004
Speaker 2: need to know right now is you need to start

191
00:08:15,005 --> 00:08:17,485
Speaker 2: thinking about an Oasis song and start thinking about.

192
00:08:17,325 --> 00:08:18,045
Speaker 1: Your own lyrics.

193
00:08:18,325 --> 00:08:20,364
Speaker 2: Are you going to sing it with who might be

194
00:08:20,364 --> 00:08:22,045
