Oasis have a reputation for being the biggest assholes in the world of music. And they probably are. But this documentary will show a little bit of a different light.
For their latest album, they gave the music to four of the tracks to NY street musicians pre-release. So, the first leak of the new album was heard in the tunnels under the city. I'm sure it wasn't their idea, but you can see the sincere apprecation for what these people do in the band's voices. I especially like when Liam talks about how this is what he fealt as a kid trying to be in a band.
On the marketing side, I think this is a teriffic idea. Oasis has been around so long, and has such a cemented sound, I think hearing the songs ripped appart and played different ways shows just how tuneful they are at their heart.
