Singer gave an interview in 2006 and revealed which songs would like to have composed; British band single is on the Album Definery Maybe
Most of the influences of U2 It comes from the 1960s and 1970s. Bonoeven, has already mentioned names like Bob DylanandBeatles as references, while their colleagues highlight punk bands as The Clash and Sex pistols. However, a group of the 1990s that the vocalist really admires: the Oasis.
Great friend of the guitarist Noel Gallagher, Bono He has mentioned, on more than one occasion, a song by the English band as his favorite of all time. It is about “Live Forever”one of the first hits of the brothers Galllagher and third single from their debut album, Definery Maybe (1994).
In 2006, the Irish star was invited by q magazine (via Igor Miranda website) To reveal the six songs I would like to have composed. He pointed out:
- Brownsville Girl (Bob Dylan & Sam Shepherd);
- “Unfinished Sympathy” (Massive Attack);
- “The Last Song I’m Ever Sing” (Gavin Friday);
- “Lucky Man”;
- “Almighty Love” (Emm Gryner);
- “Live Forever” (Oasis).
About the last mentioned, he said:
“Live Forever‘talks about being in a band. We are against the world, not me alone. I love the way it is sung, the lyrics, the melody… Anyway, it as a whole. Today I feel that I no longer need to ‘live forever’ (‘live forever’). ”
Open Letter from Oasis
In 2020, Bono published an open letter to the members of the Oasis (via Far Out). The singer of U2 exalted again “Live Forever”. He said:
“I don’t know what this song is about … I don’t want to know. I know you have created this song, but it belongs to me. Well, it doesn’t belong, it belongs to us … or anyone who has been to a band. Because it doesn’t matter what you say, this song is about being in a band. And we are against the world … a very different feeling from my against the world.”
The opinion of the Gallagher brothers on U2
The brothers and leaders of Oasis, Liam (voice) and Noel Gallagher (guitar), are notorious because they virtually do not agree with anything. No wonder they ended the band – now gathered – on a war.
As might be expected, they have different opinions about the U2. Noelfor example, he is a big fan and even toured the group as an opening attraction, already in a solo career. In 2017, to Radio x, He stated:
“A lot of people detonate them. In the United States, they are one of the great bands of all time. But in England, they get a lot of criticism, which is ridiculous when you think about the amount of records they sell. […] I gave up trying to defend the U2 now. I am like: if you understand them, great; If not, you simply be a little foolish. ”
In turn, Liam Gallagher stated to LUDWIREin 2022 that does not even consider the U2 a rock band. For him, even, the musical style is “an endangered art form”.
“They are going through a rock band ‘n’ roll, but what is this? What is, man… I never saw ap#bono or any of them do something remotely rock ‘n’ roll.”
