The guitarist of Oasis, in his customary statements for the radio station of the with the BBC, has commented that the name of his last album was based on the concept of a DJ playing records Motown, a style derived from Soul.
"Originally it was going to be called 'Bag It Up', then we were going to call it 'The Shock Of The Lightning' and then we almost went for 'Standing On The Edge Of The Noise'.
We couldn't think of anything else and suddenly, someone mentioned a part of the lyrics of a song whose idea had a lot to do with the phrase 'Dig Out Your Soul' ... and that was the one that remained"He explained.
Christmas He further said that the band's preceding albums may not carry the best titles:
"Definitely Maybe (their 1994 debut album), it's not a good name ... but if the work is good enough, what it's called speaks for itself of what it contains. Dig Out Your Soul was not the best way to call it, but it was the option that most fit the day when we had to decide between several possibilities."He added.
