Rock in Rio will present, on January 14, one of the most
important bands that have emerged from the excellent
British musical scene in the '90s. For many, Oasis will
become even better, for its members are getting riper
and riper. In one exclusive interview, Noel Gallagher
says he feels happy and honored with the festival's
social purpose. The band has just been given the best
live performance award from Q magazine, one of the most
renowned publications in the U.K. We are going to see
here at Rock in Rio For a Better World an Oasis at its
very best. Check the interview with guitarist and main
composer of the Manchester band below:
Q:
How do you feel about performing in a festival with
several other bands with different styles like
Guns'N'Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Young, James
Taylor, among others?
A:
It must be interesting.
Q:
Rock in Rio For a Better World has a very serious
social purpose in terms of helping collect funds for
education, health and other issues. For instance, all
sponsors are donating 5% of their quotas for Brazilian
social projects . How do you feel about being involved
in such kind of festival?
A:
Oasis feels honored in being involved with such a
nice cause and in performing for the Brazilian people.
Q:
Last month you received an award from British
magazine Q for the best live performance. Does that mean
Brazilians will see Oasis at its best?
A:
We hope so.
Q:
You are working on a new album. Is there a
possibility that you show some of the new songs at Rock
in Rio?
A:
No, none of those songs will be played live yet.
Q:
You normally include songs from other artists in your
repertoire. Have these bands influenced Oasis's career?
Which songs can we expect for the January show at Rock
in Rio? Are you planning to record the Rock in Rio show
for future release?
A:
We don't know yet. We are rehearsing and soon we will
decide which songs will be included in the show
repertoire. There are no plans for recording the show.
We have just done that in Wembley and it's going to be
released as a live record (CD Familiar to Millions).
Q:
What kind of memories do you keep from your last show
in Brazil? ("Be Here Now" tour, 98)? What do
you think about Rio de Janeiro?
A:
I don't remember the show very well...But I have
excellent memories from Rio.
Q:
In your viewpoint, how is the British musical scene
at this moment?
A:
Just OK.
