Noel has now walked out on this ‘dying donkey’ of a band because he’d rather be changing nappies than chugging away every night with a band that now sounds a lot like ‘Crazy Animal’ (who are one of Swindon’s finest rock experiences.) Now it’s up to Liam to sail the ship alone. (Which is a bit like leaving a blind child in charge of an areoplane whilst the pilot goes on holiday.) Will they ever be the same again? Will they ever make a record a good as ‘Supersonic’ ? Of course not. They’ve had it. But, as they drift off into the sunset shouldn’t we at least be thankful that they have given us one last laugh? Don’t you think that Noel’s replacement (Matt Deighton) looks a lot like Chewbacca? Man, I’d turn up just to see if his hairy fingers can copy Noel's encyclopidia of chords (ADG repeat).
