Speaker 1: I Heeart podcasts.
Speaker 2: You can hear more Gold one I four point three podcasts,
Speaker 2: playlist and listen live on the free iHeart app. Got
Speaker 2: anything Good? Hey?
Speaker 1: This is the Christian O'Connell Show.
Speaker 2: Podcast twenty twenty five. There was a time seven years
Speaker 2: ago I didn't know if ever you going to make
Speaker 2: it to June the fourth, twenty nineteen June the fourth,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty June the fourth, twenty twenty one. That's how
Speaker 2: long the show's been going. We are seven years old today.
Speaker 2: There is no my seven years here in Australia without
Speaker 2: you being part of this show. Coming up next, I'm
Speaker 2: going to fly two of you to London where I
Speaker 2: came from, to go and see Oasis months before they
Speaker 2: come out here on tour reunited for the first time
Speaker 2: in sixteen years, live in London the opening night Wembley
Speaker 2: Stadium in the sun.
Speaker 1: You can be reporting for the show.
Speaker 2: Win your way to Oasis London twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: How next after this? What's the story of Morning Glory?
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Show go on podcast?
Speaker 2: Last year, when the unthinkable was announced that the Gallagher brothers,
Speaker 2: Liam and Know were actually going to do the unthinkable
Speaker 2: and having interviewed them both separately so many times over
Speaker 2: the years. Liam had always been up for a reunion.
Speaker 2: Noel was very much never up for him, and a
Speaker 2: lot of people like, what's brought them mat together again?
Speaker 2: Is it the millions and millions and millions. I'm sure
Speaker 2: that's factored into him. I don't think it's all about
Speaker 2: that they've been offered so much money to do Glastonbury
Speaker 2: just as a one off show. Can you two just
Speaker 2: be on the same massive stage one hundred feet apart
Speaker 2: at Glastonbury? The pyramid stage is huge. You don't have
Speaker 2: to talk to each other. You stand there, you stand
Speaker 2: on the other side of the wing. You weren't like
Speaker 2: twenty million each, they still said no to that. I
Speaker 2: think it's about them getting into their middle of their life.
Speaker 2: And I think it's their mum who's not been very well, Peggy,
Speaker 2: who's had too many Christmases where her sons can't beat
Speaker 2: the table with her.
Speaker 1: I think it's all of that.
Speaker 2: And I saw an interview last year where one of
Speaker 2: their I think it was Liam's son, said that obviously
Speaker 2: Liam and Noell have children now and they're in their twenties,
Speaker 2: so they're not kids don't fully understand why their two
Speaker 2: uncles don't speak to each other. And obviously they've gone online,
Speaker 2: they've listened to the music. They know this family story
Speaker 2: and this happens to families all over the world from
Speaker 2: like the raw family now fractured and two brothers that
Speaker 2: can't be together in their fifties and so, and they
Speaker 2: said it started to become really awkward why they couldn't
Speaker 2: They were worried about going to talk to each other
Speaker 2: because obviously that's so much to talk about. The dads
Speaker 2: were in one of the biggest, most important bands in
Speaker 2: the world. You don't even get to talk to, you know,
Speaker 2: a family relative like that crazy And so.
Speaker 1: I think that it became a bigger, bigger thing.
Speaker 2: Where is that really going to be the legacy of
Speaker 2: Oasis is they were just two brothers that couldn't get
Speaker 2: back together. So it's an amazing story and rock and
Speaker 2: roll has these stories. And when it was announced last year,
Speaker 2: what was incredible. I never thought I'd ever see Oasis
Speaker 2: back together and it's just like they both were like
Speaker 2: it was just I couldn't see how it could ever happen.
Speaker 2: And then when it was announced, it became this incredible
Speaker 2: global news event, and over the last couple of years,
Speaker 2: the biggest demand tickets have been Taylor Swift. And I
Speaker 2: was with my daughters last year at the MCG the
Speaker 2: Eras tour and it was incredible. I saw what it
Speaker 2: did to all the wide eyed fans that her music
Speaker 2: really really speaks to them. It connects them. They're drawn
Speaker 2: to Taylor Swift. This was me an Oasis when I
Speaker 2: was in my twenties one.
Speaker 1: I had no money.
Speaker 2: There were two working class boys like me from very
Speaker 2: poor backgrounds. They just lit so many people up. They're
Speaker 2: about dreaming big. They actually dreamt big. They made their
Speaker 2: dream happen and living it large. And that's what you
Speaker 2: want from your rock stars. Now rock stars don't speak
Speaker 2: and behavior like that for very good reasons. Okay, back
Speaker 2: in the nineties they were that energy where you could
Speaker 2: dream big and actually make it happen. There was something
Speaker 2: very magnetic about Oasis and the way they were. Haven't
Speaker 2: seen them live over the years. You know, the live
Speaker 2: show isn't really about the quality of the music, It's
Speaker 2: about the connection with the fans.
Speaker 1: I saw it.
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift completely different acts, but the same that wide
Speaker 2: eyed what it's like to have your favorite band that
Speaker 2: really just connects you in ways you don't really fully understand.
Speaker 2: So what I'm saying is this news that is now
Speaker 2: only that last year was next year. They're coming to London,
Speaker 2: They're coming to Australia, They're coming to Melbourne, getting tickets,
Speaker 2: trying to get tickets. That now is now next month.
Speaker 2: They've been rehearsing over the last couple of weeks. I
Speaker 2: can tell you I've got friends who've been to the rehearsals.
Speaker 2: Lim isn't even there yet. Oh so right now, no
Speaker 2: wants had grown ups in the room for a while.
Speaker 2: First of all, before we've beat the old Bruce Cannon
Speaker 2: in I wreck, E's going to do it like two
Speaker 2: days before they go on stage.
Speaker 1: You know, all right, we've done the hard work. Brother,
Speaker 1: You turn up and do your bit.
Speaker 2: Okay, just wander on stage and stare at the crowd menacingly.
Speaker 2: So this is an amazing prize. I am so jealous
Speaker 2: to be there in London at Wembley Stadium, which is
Speaker 2: an amazing venue, ninety thousand people. How many sold out
Speaker 2: nights are Wastes doing in Wembley?
Speaker 1: Seven and seventeen in the UK that's sold out in
Speaker 1: record record time.
Speaker 2: It's the biggest demand for a live concert ever in
Speaker 2: the UK, Bigger than Beyonce, bigger than Taylor Swift and
Speaker 2: fat for men and women of a certain age. This
Speaker 2: is our eras tour, This says, actually my era. So
Speaker 2: I've finally worked out what it is and I know
Speaker 2: it is for a lot of people, but just a
Speaker 2: huge demand here in Australia for the shows in Melbourne
Speaker 2: Marvel as well, just selling out so quickly. So we're
Speaker 2: going to fly two of you to London July the
Speaker 2: twenty fifth, and that's the first night in London.
Speaker 1: And Re and I were just.
Speaker 2: Saying, I'm actually just because to be there when those
Speaker 2: two boys walk on stage together and then start up
Speaker 2: whatever the first song is, I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 2: it is, what's the story Morning Glory? Like they pick
Speaker 2: it up, like the sixteen years of animosity, It doesn't
Speaker 2: matter anymore. It all just dissolves the back. Who cares
Speaker 2: why they're back? We get to have it one more time,
Speaker 2: to re experience that joint. You're not just reconnecting with
Speaker 2: the band into their fifties. I think actually you're reconnecting
Speaker 2: with that twenty or teenage version of yourself. There's always
Speaker 2: that band where at some time in your life they
Speaker 2: come to you at the right time, they're they're everything too.
Speaker 2: And that was the waste from me in many people
Speaker 2: all over the world. So this is an amazing price.
Speaker 2: We're going to fly two of you to London to
Speaker 2: put you up in a great hotel right in the
Speaker 2: middle of London. So even in London in the summertime,
Speaker 2: well theory in the summertime, so don't I would put
Speaker 2: that in the tea's and c's. He did say it
Speaker 2: should be summertime, but I haven't been through so many
Speaker 2: of those UK summers it carry a bit sketchy.
Speaker 1: Hopefully it'd be summertime. It should been three summertime.
Speaker 2: You'll have a great week in London and on that
Speaker 2: Friday night on behalf of the show you'll be reviewing it.
Speaker 2: On the Monday back you'll be there to see history,
Speaker 2: basically rock and roll history in London. So the way
Speaker 2: you do this, I want you to I want us
Speaker 2: to go to a fan. Obviously, I am aware that
Speaker 2: this is a great prize, but I really, my heart
Speaker 2: really does want to be giving it to someone that
Speaker 2: is an Oasis fan that isn't just doing this to
Speaker 2: get a trip to London, and I'd understand if you
Speaker 2: want to do that, please don't take part in this.
Speaker 2: I want it to go to fan that is really
Speaker 2: going to be one of those whoever is you're taking
Speaker 2: out there, whether you're looking at each other, will always
Speaker 2: remember this.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: It's even better in a way seeing them when they're
Speaker 2: at the peak of their powers in the nineties. There's
Speaker 2: something more magical about something which didn't look like it
Speaker 2: was ever going to happen. You'll be part of rock
Speaker 2: and roll history to say, oh, I was there. I
Speaker 2: was actually there the opening night in London with all
Speaker 2: of that energy and excitement and joy again. So the
Speaker 2: way you do this, I'm asking you to pick an
Speaker 2: Oasis song, any Oasis song, there are so many.
Speaker 1: To pick from.
Speaker 2: Write your own lyrics about why we should pick you
Speaker 2: and send it to me. The number one thing to
Speaker 2: remember with this competition, we've done this company us before,
Speaker 2: wildly entertaining. You know what I'm about to say, Rio,
Speaker 2: this is not a singing competition. You do sing, but
Speaker 2: this is not idle. It's not x factor. It's more
Speaker 2: about energy and passion and haven't seen the boys live
Speaker 2: so many times? Not great life sometimes not great life,
Speaker 2: too much drink and the rest of it doesn't look
Speaker 2: after your vocal course, lads, not great life. It was
Speaker 2: never about that, you know. It's more about the energy
Speaker 2: and the passion and the enthusiasm. That's what's going to
Speaker 2: win this. See so's sing it and win it. To
