Fan Interview: Eva Marie webmaster of the United Nations of Oasis

 My favorite fan interview so far!! This girl is awesome!  Its amazing to come across a young dedicated new fan! It proves that Oasis is everlasting. Thank you Eva! 

1. Name 
Eva Marie


2. Age:
18


3. How did you get into Oasis?
To make a long story short, I got into them through knowing Blur. I fell in love with Roll With It (irony at its best!), and Noel was really the one who convinced me that this was the band that would change my life forever. Haha. He is The Chief after all.

4. What is it like being such a young fan of the band?
I enjoy every minute of it. Oasis have been with me throughout all my high school years, through the good and bad times, and I can say it's been an absolute pleasure. I can't wait to make more memories as I go into my later years. I wish sometimes though I knew about them earlier or were born in a different year to have known them for longer. I'd love to have experienced that rush in the 90s!


5. How is Oasis/Beady Eye/Noel Gallagher incorporated into your everyday life?
They are an obsession for me. I can't live a day without listening to their music -- at least one song! Nor can I live a day without even thinking about them. They are a part of me that I live with everyday through the internet and the real world. I can't go a day without going on the internet to see what they're up to either!  I also like photography, drawing, making graphics, and sometimes writing songs so they are definitely in those artistic aspects of my life. Right now, I'm getting ready to go to art school soon so they will definitely be a part of my projects in the future somehow. In fact, a majority of my portfolio that got me into art school is inspired by their music and/or is of the Gallagher brothers funny enough! In general, I pretty much incorporate them in any aspect I possibly can in my life. School even…I wrote a Valentine's Day letter once to Noel for French class! I laugh back a lot at the crazy things I've done!


6. What is your favorite Oasis album?

I'd like to say Definitely Maybe, because it will always be a classic to me but if I were to be honest I could not even choose. All of the albums have very special meanings to me. In the end, I think I'd choose Don't Believe The Truth as it was the first album I ever heard of theirs. It has a lot of special meaning to me of how that album came about in my life.


7. Have you ever been to an Oasis gig? What was it like for you? If not how about Beady Eye?
Yes, I have. Only once sadly, but luckily right before they broke up! It was as you would expect…thrilling and emotional for me, but I only wished some other personal problems were not occurring at the time so that I could have enjoyed it tiny bit more. I've seen Beady Eye once this summer. Brilliant experience.


8. What do you think of Beady Eye?
I honestly think they should get better feedback than what most people say about them. They are brilliant songwriters, underrated even to me, and they do write good songs. I love them. I think people will see their magic as they start to form as their own identity and not just "Liam's shite band without Noel." I believe in them.


9. What do you expect from Noel's solo stuff?
I expect it to be beautiful as usual with whatever he does in music. :)


10. Well Oasis ever reform in you opinion?

Every Oasis fan…just about every fan I know, deep inside their heart, wants them to reunite and wants to think they will. I think eventually they will. I made an Oasis reunion tour poster which was a joke to me, but who knows if that joke will be a reality in the future. I'd laugh.


11. Do you own a lot of Oasis stuff? What is your favorite?
I'm a collector sort of, but my collection isn't as big as you'd think it'd be. I love to collect their singles, and hopefully I'll complete my collection soon. I have shirts and posters and other stuff too. My favorite though would have to be the Definitely Maybe cassette that I wear around my neck as a necklace from time to time. (Chris Sharrock approved of it when I met him so that makes it even more easy to choose it as my favorite!)


12. What level has  your Oasis fandom gone too?

It hasn't dropped since day one honestly. Hahahaha. It has wavered over the years but only due to personal conflicts, but in general I'm as mad fer it as they come! I bake cupcakes for Noel's birthday every year, and I celebrate the holidays in an Oasisy way sometimes. I think I even thought of dressing up as Liam for Halloween one year. Other than celebrations, I pretty much have incorporated them into my life in any way that I possibly could! I even got an Oasis logo ice sculpture done for my sweet 16! I know that I'm pretty out there! Once they become pretty much the center of your life, you have had to gone so far!


13. What do you friends and family think of your love for the band?
They support and accept it lovingly, but I know a few of them think I'm insane at times. Hahaha. Especially my mam, but she puts up with it and I really owe her a lot of respect for that. (Thank you so much for driving me through that blizzard to see the band, and taking photos of me with some of the BDI guys!)


14. How did you feel the day Oasis broke up?
I had just come back from a vacation so it's not the news you would want to hear after relaxing for about a week. I just came back home and my favorite band just broke up. I leave the internet for about a week and they already broke up!? I felt like it could have been the end of the world. Horrible times.

15. If you could be at one past Oasis gig which would it be and what song would you look forward most too?
That's a hard question, but I would choose the Barrowlands gig for its amazing set list of songs. It has just about everything in there! I'd look forward to hearing Live Forever the most. It's my favorite song of all time. I would have loved to hear Live Forever being played live before they broke up, and that is in the set list so it's pretty much perfect to me. Also, watching it on YouTube…the crowd looks in top form. Johnny Marr is another hero of mine, so him being at the gig made it even more amazing. I really wish I had been there.
