I hope this is allowed, if not, please delete.

But I received this message in mail earlier - and it said:

"We're looking for people to take part as extras in the next Oasis video! If you look the part you will be needed for 4 hours on the evening of Tuesday 12th September at a famous London concert venue.

Please PM please with your NAME, AGE (you must be over 16 years of age), PHOTOGRAPH and MOBILE NO. You will be contacted if your submission is successful. [No, don't PM me with details like that, PM to ask for the address]

Good luck!"

Source: PM again please

I'm miles away, so it's no good to me ... plus I'm too old

And this was posted in good faith so I hope I'm abiding by the site rules. If not can someone PM me please and I'll delete what I can.

[Edited again. It's not me that wants PM's with e-mail addresses or mobile phones numbers ]

If you look the part..
Cheek! The most unattractive band in the world®(1994-2006) are vetting their audience to make sure they look right.

With the fifth rate pub-sing-along nonsense they knock out, they should be just glad their still getting fans!

Of course they're going to vet the audiance. You dont want 100% being over 60. After all they're trying to make a commerical video, they didn't need to "invite" anyone.

I've been too a video shoot myself, and thank god, they weren't "vetting" people. Is the video supposed to be a fair representation of their fan-base or a "no really, we only get the beautiful people at our gigs" type video?

Pretty much everyone who answered the above email and went along to the video shoot ended up very dissapointed/angry.

Many of them came down from various parts of the of the country, I know of at least one person who went from Northern Ireland, and they weren't too pleased to find that the video was supposed to be set in Japan so they were all told to stay at the back so their faces wouldn't be seen, and worse still after this "selection process" (photos sent, being told to dress as if it's 1995) seeing people randomly allowed to wander in from the streets of Camden.

Not only that, but while that was all going on, Noel & Liam themselves were just down the road watching Kasabian.
