Guigsy's left, but Noel still wants to make it work for Oasis!
interview:05.09.99

Noel Gallagher has exclusively told The Maker about his ideal replacements for Bonehead and Guigsy, the latter of whom quit Oasis last week. 

In a revealing interview conducted at Olympic Studios, Barnes, London, where Oasis were mixing their new album, Noel hypothesized “Johnny Marr would be good, but he’s started his own band. The obvious choices are Nick McCabe and Simon Jones from The Verve.” In my opinion, they should offer Bonehead and Guigsy more oney and more publicity instead of hogging it all themselves.

However, Noel admitted the dream team would probably no work out: “I don’t think they would be right. People have to want to do it. People have to be into all the old songs and the news songs. At least the two members left at the right time.(Balls!) It gives us six months, but we’ve got to do it now. We’re not panicking yet.”

They left Noel to carry on with the recording and, contrary to talk of a more punky new record, could hear “Wonderwall”-esque acoustic guitars emanating from the studio.

(Why wonderwall??????????) 

Liam, who seemed anxious to get on with the album, was unusually quiet. “We’re too busy,” he said. But he did agree to pose for a picture when he left the studio with a minder at 10pm. “Oh, if it’s for The Maker”, he joked, before being driven off in a red Audi. - Nice car!!!!!

Earlier that afternoon, Richard Ashcroft had arrived at the studio with wife Kate (from Spiritualized). When asked how things were going, he said “Splendid.” But what was he doing at the studio? What exactly was going splendidly? Is he contributing backing vocals to the album? With no Bonehead, is he playing guitar on any tracks?

Guigsy’s departure was announced on Wednesday, 25 August,(Why??) at a press conference at pub music venue The Water Rats in London’s King Cross, much to the shock of music industry and Oasis insiders. He reason for leaving seems to echo Bonehead’s desire to spend more time with his family away from the unrelenting stress of touring.
