.robsheff looks back on Oasis’ mega-flop ‘Be Here Now,’ a monument to the days when rock stars could release an old-school mess of an album in the purest confidence that people would stampede over each other for the chance to scoop it up at full retail.
is the album you would play for a Martian who just landed in your yard and asked what cocaine is. As Noel explained, “If you’re given a blank cheque to record an album and as much studio time as you want you’re hardly gonna be focused. There’s a pub round the corner and Kentucky Fried Chicken—you just get lazy. []’s not as inspired when you put it next to the other two albums. We weren’t pushing ourselves in the studio.
Meanwhile, Liam found true love with actress Patsy Kensit, a matrimonial bond summed up by Noel as “little blonde chick, lunatic with a beard.” Even Noel’s Beatles worship went off the rails, to the point where he boasted that Oasis were bigger than Jesus. He later clarified, “What I meant to say was taller. I believe Jesus was 5ft 7in and I’m 5ft 8 1/2 in.”
Noel told Q, “I was sitting there, out of it, fucking strung out, going, ‘They’ll play all 8 minutes of it. They’ll play all three guitar solos, ‘course they will, because it’s got my name on it and I rule the fucking world!’ And of course, they didn’t.” To make matters worse, “D’You Know What I Mean?” came out the same summer as Robyn’s “Do You Know ,” and the teen Swede wiped the floor with the Manchester bards.
“It’s Getting Better ” is the most cynically blown-off tune here, seven minutes of groovily brain-dead guitar slapstick banged out as filler, but it’s the peak moment by a mile, because Oasis remember to rock. In the late Nineties, the music world was consumed with debates over whether rock bands should rock or not.
