Oasis To Release New Single In Three Weeks




















The Gallaghers embrace the digital age with 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down'

Oasis have broken their vow to have a year off and will release a new single in three weeks' time.

The Noel Gallagher fronted track from their first ever digital-only release on October 21.

The song will be available from the band's website www.oasisinet.com, and comes bundled with two live songs from their City Of Manchester Stadium gigs in 2005. A video for the song will appear on YouTube from October 1, the same day the song debuts on radio.

Noel explained he felt the song was good enough to go on a album, but included it in the documentary instead. "It's good and rocking - just 12 bar blues really," he said. "It's got left off the last album as it was the same verse all the way through, but it's kind of locked into that now as it appears at the end of the film."

The song's bluesy feel reflects the Oasis leader's current listening tastes. "I probably listen to Neil Young and Bob Dylan more than any other artists," he explained before revealing how his songwriting process works these days.

"One day you hit a chord - let's say A minor, the saddest chord of all and it won't mean f**k all. The next day you're in a different head space and it will sound completely different," he said. "Usually I start with a chord on the guitar and if the first line pops into your head you realise you're going to make a fortune soon!"

Meanwhile, the DVD of Lord Don't Slow Me Down will be out on October 29. Noel explained that the documentary was an accident, as Oasis had only intended to make one video with director Baillie Walsh.

"Baillie started making a video for 'Let There Be Love' and he thought the stuff was so great he convinced us to let him come on the road for nine months, " stated Noel. "I was concerned because the years of kissing the sky and drinking champagne out of cowboy boots at 10am are gone. He just said he'd tell it like it is - and this is it!"

Noel added that a film of the 'Be Here Now' tour would have been very different. "That's the greatest thing I've ever been involved in with the band, "he declared.

"We toured the globe as the biggest band in the world and everything you could possibly want you got two of!"
