Rate Oasis New Single

[jack99]

Fresh from their triumph at Milton Keynes and their homecoming at the City Of

Manchester Stadium, the Brothers Gallagher retrun with a new single, The

Importance Of Being Idle, on 22 August. The video features actor Rhys Ifans,

fresh from an award winning performance as Peter Cook in Not Only, But Always,

he plays a funeral director high kicking his way through a New Orleans style

funeral procession in an odd-yet-funny spoof of 60s kitchen sink dramas

To be honest,the song is good but not the best choice to be the 2nd single..Love like a Bomb would be the perfect.

The video is one of the worst of the band.Don't Like it.

Mr. Noel prefers to feed his ego than to see Oasis get higher in the charts.

anyway I'll give it 4 stars.

4 stars. Good song but certainley not there best work.

Jack99 you never told us what you thought

How can anyone not like this song? to say its predictable is plain ignorant, how is it predictable? alongside mucky fingers its the most different sounding oasis song ever.

I love the importance of being idle.

i luurrrve, it as i love oasis. Tis fabulous! and great to play on the guitar so i can sing along. Gotta love that noel.

I love it. When i heard it i had no idea it was actually Noel singing it for some reason. Refreshing change and a nice song.

Cool video too.

mucky fingers, an amaj chord from oasis! Thats about as shocking as being gently reminded that about 1000 other oasis songs contain that chord

Agreed. It's a great song with cool lyrics and an interesting video which is rare these days. Oasis is one of the few band where the singles is actually worth buying because you always get a few extra tracks (often unreleased) or live recordings on the same disc. The new single will feature two brand new tracks - Liam's 'Pass Me Down The Wine' and 'The Quiet Ones', written by guitarist Gem Archer.

This was one of my favourite tracks of the album a real beauty along with Guess God Thinks I'm Abel.Which I so hope gets released as a single.It is one of their best songs in a long while,very mature...

love ur sig great song.

It definitely shows Oasis are not a one dimensional band. Everyone expects a big song first. I think the single might have been chosen to coincide with English summer. It will sound great on the radio in the summer time when your lazing by the river. Turn Up The Sun should be a single at some point but maybe they want to explore new songs. But IOBI is one of their most crafted songs to date. A Bell Will Ring might be a surprise single. I don't think Love Like A Bomb will make it cos of terrorist bombs in London?

On a different note: I've noticed that Mucky Fingers is sort of Oasis' It's So Easy. Jungle/Easy/Brownstone. They can open with Turn up the Sun, then Mucky Fingers, then Lyla, then Importance of Idle. That's a good opening barrage. Then play Rock n Roll Star.

Agreed.

Itd be interesting to see how LLAB goes on the charts, perhaps bringing them back under the public eye again, as they have slowly droped since WTSMG.

I only like that 60's guitar solo, lol. The song actually gets a bit bland after that.

[murray_TH]

I like it. It's one of the best things they've done for a long, long time.
