Paul Arthurs, known as Bonehead to Oasis fans, has left fans in stitches after he began replying to comments made on X about Noel and Liam Gallagher’s Heaton Park setlist
A hilarious reply from Bonehead, the rhythm guitarist from Oasis, has left fans in stitches. The one-word response to a query on X was shared to the r/Oasis Reddit page, where fans praised the founding member. Bonehead began his time with the Manchester band in 1991, leaving in 1999, and has since returned for the Live ’25 tour dates.
Following a series of sold out performances at Heaton Park in Manchester, Bonehead took to X and replied to a handful of Oasis fans. But not everyone was full of praise for the show, with a comment made in reply to the legendary guitarist. Bonehead’s reply has left fans howling.
Sharing a screenshot of the back and forth to Reddit, fans were left laughing at the one-word reply Bonehead gave a fan. Bonehead, real name Paul Arthurs, wrote: “It’s gettin’ better man.”
A reply to his post reads: “Same setlist as every other night.” Bonehead then replied: “And????” Fans have said the post highlights the lighter side to the long-serving guitarist, who joined Liam and Noel Gallagher for the reunion shows this year.
One fan wrote: “Setlist is almost perfect. Why change it.” Another replied: “Agreed! Only thing that would make it better is Columbia.”
A third user posted: “If they change the setlist, people will get mad when they don’t get to hear their favourite song, and rightfully so. Keeping the same setlist throughout the tour is fair to everyone.”
Other dedicated fans suggested changing the setlist at such an early point in the tour would make little sense. Oasis has played the same set each night, delighting fans with a series of their best-known hits.
Some have suggested the lack of setlist changes means it is fairer for people going to just one show on the tour. A user wrote: “Not many going to multiple nights around the world tour, who gives a f**k if the set list is the same.”
Another added; “They are back together after 16 years, their heyday was 1994-1998, they are capitalising on the time they were everywhere. I’m not sure if a lot of people understand how big they were at that time.”
Other fans, who agreed with Bonehead’s disregard for the need to change up the setlist, said Oasis were never known for changing up their setlist on previous tours.
One user wrote: “Oasis were never, ever renowned for mixing up the set much (or even playing many songs). Look at the Be Here Now tour (although I noticed recently they played MBM on the first or second night then not again.”
Another added: “Honestly the only potential for change that I’d like to see is rotating a few songs in the Bring It On Down and Fade Away slots. Maybe a pool of songs including Columbia, Lyla, SCYHO, Go Let It Out, Hindu Times, maybe Shock of the Lightning.”
A third has suggested Noel’s four song section could see a few more changes for the setlist. They wrote: “Its a great setlist overall. Some swaping an rotation for variation would be just fun and cool.
“Add Importance Of Being Idle into the first batch of Noel Songs (Talk Tonight, Half The World Away, Little By Little), and play 3 out of the 4 every night.”
