Along with the first OASIS LP Definitely Maybe (1994) and the eponymous first
one by THE STONE ROSES (1989), the SEX PISTOLS‘s debut Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols is one of the three best debut albums ever (thus far) to my ears.

30 years ago, on 8 August 1994, Manchester legends
OASIS released their supernova classic LIVE FOREVER.
A 24 karat gold anthem written, of course, by Noel Gallagher,
inspired by Shine A Light, a 1972 song by The Stones.
Live Forever was the third single from their supreme debut album
Definitely Maybe and their first one that entered the Top-10 of
the UK Singles Chart.
Noel today, about the joyful anthem.
‘Live Forever’ is 30!

Maybe I just wanna fly
Wanna live, I don’t wanna die
Maybe I just wanna breathe
Maybe I just don’t believe
Maybe you’re the same as me
We see things they’ll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

A few weeks ago our kid Liam announced a handful of UK shows next year
in June, to celebrate the 30th birthday of Oasis‘s debut LP Definitely, Maybe.
It’s definitely a sold-out for now, maybe new dates will follow.

On 29 August 1994, 25 years ago, Manchester’s legends OASIS released one of the best albums ever according to my ears. DEFINITELY MAYBE was a stunning life-celebrating rock album that came at a perfect moment as The Stone Roses blew their minds on drugs for five years after their astonishing 1989 debut LP and only delivered a half great second longplayer 3 months after the Gallagher Brothers took the vacant place and scored a
No 1 hit LP in the UK with their ace debut. Except for the two stinkers Digsy’s Dinner and ‘Married With Children’ all songs were euphoric jackhammers with most of them sounding like ecstatic anthems millions would sing along word by word afterward. Historic score!
Thanks to NME hyping the band in their early days I went to London in August 1994
to see Oasis play in a small venue. An unforgettable experience it was. Mind-boggling electricity! It was the first of about 30 Oasis concerts I witnessed. Their overwhelming, rhapsodic live force was unmatchable for years to come. Best time of my life! Hallelujah!
Here come three of the several masterstrokes on ‘Definitely Maybe’…
