Oasis’ landmark debut album, Definitely Maybe, is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its release on August 29, 2024. To mark the occasion, the band’s guitarist and chief songwriter Noel Gallagher reflected back on what went into those early songs, and what the lasting legacy is of the album as well as his celebrated group. In a new interview with The Times, Gallagher says, “We knew the songs were great because we played them every night and all the shows were outrageous. But at that time it was just a good album – nothing more, nothing less. It’s only through time that it has become what it is now.” But Noel does admit that the naive young musicians “didn’t really know what we were doing. We just set the gear up and got into character and pressed record. The rest, as they say, is mystery. If we’d made only that album, then I’d still be as happy as I am now.” (Louder Sound)
