30 Signature Guitars for Modern Artists
For decades, having a signature guitar was reserved for classic rock legends — the Claptons, the Hendrixes, the Pages, the SRVs and EVHs. But that’s no longer the case. From pop-punk to heavy metal, alt-country to neo-soul, modern artists of all genres and backgrounds are getting signature guitars from companies big and small. Among the titans of the industry, that intentional shift came with a new generation being put into decision-making positions. “When I started, it was largely classic rock and very much a pantheonic Hall of Fame,” Fender’s Executive VP for Products Justin Norvell says of the early 2000s. “It was an end-of-an-iconic-career kind of thing. But it was my feeling that it should be something that people can use to reflect back upon themselves. A Telecaster can mean James Bu...
DeFi platform Oasis to block wallet addresses deemed at-risk
According to a new community Discord post on Thursday, decentralized finance platform Oasis.app says that sanctioned addresses will no longer be able to access the application.

Watch John Squire Join Liam Gallagher Onstage to Play ‘Champagne Supernova’
Liam Gallagher released his third solo album C’mon You Know last week, and to celebrate he’s playing two shows at Knebworth — the site of Oasis’s iconic two-night stand in 1996. During the first performance on Friday night, the singer-songwriter began the set with three Oasis songs (“Hello,” “Rock’n’Roll Star” and “Morning Glory”) before diving into solo material. Gallagher ended the night with the Oasis hit “Champagne Supernova” and brought out John Squire to help him out. “A big fucking round of applause for the coolest man on the planet,” he told the crowd while introducing the Stone Roses guitarist. “The one and only John fucking Squire.” In a recent interview with NME, Gallagher revealed that seeing the Stone Roses live was what made him want to be in a band. “It ...
The 90 Greatest Albums of the ’90s
This article originally appeared in the September 1999 issue of SPIN. “You must be high.” We heard that a lot during the time we spent preparing this issue. Which is understandable. Pronouncing the 90 greatest albums of the ’90s is a somewhat presumptuous thing to do. When you’re measuring the music this decade is offering to history—the sounds we partied with, copulated to, fought about, and wept over—everyone has an opinion. That ours should be more valid than yours is debatable. But hey—it’s our magazine. What, then, you ask, constitutes “greatest”? Don’t even start. Suffice it to say that, after much heated discussion and countless veiled insults, it came down to the factors of both remarkable artistry and cultural shock value. Sometimes a record’s knock-you-off-your-Skechers impa...
A ‘Wonderwall’ of Snow Trapped 50 Fans at Inn After Oasis Cover Band Show for Three Days
Over the weekend, heavy snowfall throughout the U.K. left tens of thousands of homes without electricity and killed at least two people. But those at the Tan Hill Inn were able to have some moments of levity, despite being trapped inside the bar and pub for three days. The Yorkshire establishment joked that they were trapped by a “Wonderwall” of snow, since patrons-turned-inmates had come to see the Oasis cover band, Noasis, NBC News reported. The trapped fans slept on couches and the floor, after the unprecedented loads of snowfall that was predicted to be light. “Our guests have been absolutely amazing,” Nicola Townsend, the pub’s manager, told Sky News. “They’ve been really patient and really understanding.” Facebook/The Tan Hill Inn Just as uniting as concerts themselves, “Everyon...
The Beat of a Different Drummer: 10 Albums Where a New Drummer Put a Spring in the Band’s Step
The drummer is the job in a rock band with the highest turnover rate — a cliché lampooned memorably in This is Spinal Tap. And if it takes a few albums for a group’s definitive lineup to click into place, the drummer is often the final piece of the puzzle to arrive. But it’s often that change behind the drum set that makes a good band great, thanks to the addition of faster, louder, or more complex rhythms. Sometimes a versatile percussionist can even expand the band’s sonic palette and contribute to the songwriting. Here are 10 albums where the arrival of a new drummer marked an important transitional moment in an artist’s catalog.

Don’t judge me for Loving Van Hagar. If loving them is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. And yes, I was made fun of a lot during elementary a...
Noel Gallagher Pulls Out Old Oasis Hit During CBS This Morning Performance
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ greatest hits album Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) arrived on Friday, and to celebrate Gallagher and his band visited CBS This Morning’s Saturday Session. He performed two solo songs (“Holy Mountain” and “We’re On Our Way Now”) and surprised fans with a rendition of “Don’t Look Back in Anger” off Oasis’ sophomore album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? Aside from the performance, Gallagher also chatted with CBS This Morning’s Anthony Mason about his decade-long solo career. “Well, I came out of a band with a very strong identity, a very famous band, a band that fans really, really loved, and I didn’t want my solo career to be a sugar-free version of that. Like Diet Oasis,” Gallagher explained. “I’m allowed to work at my own pace, I’m not wr...
Noel Gallagher Doesn’t Think Oasis Should Reunite Because ‘the Legacy of the Band Is Set in Stone’
While some members of Oasis would love to reunite, one in particular thinks its a bad idea. Unsurprisingly, that person is Noel Gallagher. When asked about a reunion during a visit to Australia’s The Project, Noel said he “doesn’t feel like it.” “The legacy of the band is set in stone,” he explained before comparing the band to rock royalty. “If people have seen us, they’ll understand what all the fuss is about. If you didn’t see us, then that’s tough cos I’ve never seen the Beatles or the Sex Pistols.” “People ask me that question on a daily basis and I can only say to you that, I just don’t feel like it,” he continued. “When you’re in a band, it’s an absolute compromise so no I don’t think I could come up with an idea and then run it by four people and then six weeks ...
Oasis Announce 1996 Knebworth Concert Documentary
In 2016, Oasis was the subject of a documentary that chronicled their meteoric rise, which culminated with a pair of gigs in August 1996 at Knebworth in the UK. Over 4% of the country tried to get one of the 250,000 tickets that were available. As you can imagine, it was epic and the crowd was Mad Fer It. The opening bands were a who’s who of that era: The Charlatans, The Prodigy, Manic Street Preachers and The Chemical Brothers. Obviously, we know how things slowly disintegrated after that, but this debatably was the peak of Britpop and the Gallaghers, Bonehead, Guigsy and Alan White were at the front of it. Now, those shows are coming to the big screen. Ahead of the 25th anniversary of those shows the band announced that a documentary chronicling those gigs will be released. It will...
