Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans has revealed that he has not spoken to Noel Gallagher since he criticised that Oasis' 1997 album.
Evans famously mocked the album on his former Channel 4 TV show TFI Friday shortly after its release by pretending to resuscitate it using a defibrillator.
He revealed Gallagher had not taken kindly to the joke as he appeared alongside friend Zoe Ball on Radio 2's 2DAY.
“When Be Here Now came out we were all so disappointed with the album we opened up a TFI Friday with a defibrillator trying to resuscitate it and give the album some life – he saw the joke and has never spoken to me since.”
Evans told Ball that Gallagher had since “admitted it was a terrible album”, but said he had given up hopes of being forgiven.
“No never gonna happen, doesn’t matter,” he said, before adding that he was now in the camp of Gallagher's former Oasis bandmate and brother, Liam.
Be Here Now was not an album without life... on the contrary, the cd had the opposite problem: too crazy, colourful, commercial, it was recorded when Oasis were under the effect of drugs and the songs might sound strange, distorted, etc. but they don't need life...
one of my favourite Oasis songs (also Stay Young, which had to be on the album,
of course Noel hated that one, Liam loved it)
