Sons of the Stage

King and Ogden wrote it. King describes it as a pastiche of the MC5's "Kick Out the Jams", a deliberately overblown revolutionary rock song, and James Fry calls the video the band's best performance. It was released in 1991 on Circa, reaching 47 in the UK on Wikipedia's figure (Eric Brightwell elsewhere gives 58, and The Quietus says it missed the top 40); the B-side was a remix of "Life and Death", and there was a 12-inch picture disc. Wikipedia says it was a hit with indie clubs in Toronto and New York, uncited.

Noel and Liam Gallagher reportedly considered naming Oasis Sons of the Stage, and Alan McGee, a fan of the song, had seemingly agreed a Creation deal with World of Twist before signing Oasis, King said. Beady Eye covered it as the B-side of "Bring the Light" (4:46), a free download on November 10, 2010 and a limited 7-inch. Setlist.fm shows it in three setlists, between November 1991 and a Camden Palace show on February 18, 1992. We do not know which version our upload is.
