Liam Gallagher has watched the new Oasis documentary - made by the team that worked on last year's Oscar-nominated Amy Winehouse film - ahead of its official release.

This morning Liam Gallagher tweeted about seeing an early version of the film, stating "Just seen the 1st cut of the OASIS film BIBLICAL what ever happened to my ROCKNROLL LG x".  

Titled Oasis - The Rock 'N' Roll Band That Defined A Generation, the film will chronicle the band’s rise to fame and the brother's infamous feud. Speaking to GQ, Gallagher said that large portions had to be edited out: "We have all this footage from behind the scenes leading up to the gigs, most of which can’t be used as there’s just monstrous drug taking". 

The filmmakers have reportedly been given unprecedented access to unseen archive footage, with both Noel and Liam Gallagher agreeing to talk about their favourite memories, and offer insights on key events in the band's history.

Mat Whitecross has been named as the director, having helmed a number of Coldplay videos and the 2012 film Spike Island. Asif Kapadia will act as executive-director on the film. Kapadia's critically acclaimed Amy became the second biggest documentary ever at the UK box office grossing £3.44million. 

Oasis disbanded in 2009, though rumours did circulate about the band reforming for this year's Glastonbury. However, these were quickly debunked after Gallagher told The Daily Star, "They don't have enough money, I'm afraid. That's the bottom line, they just don't pay enough".

An unapologetic lover of everything from UKG to garage rock, to anything indie or emo-orientated; Ben has been making up for lost time by going to just about any festival or gig he can sneak into since graduating from University. Having cut his teeth writing for forward-thinking publications like 1883 Magazine, The 405, Gigwise, Public Pressure, and Haptic World he has relished writing on music culture's most ridiculous, asinine qualities to its stratospheric heights. He can be found @Benjaminabutler where he'll be spouting nonsense on anything from the state of modern house music, to the UK festival scene and pop-punk bands or how bar tokens are the worst thing that has happened to live events, ever.
