Oasis' Noel Gallagher jokingly warned the bands new drummer not to get too comfortable as they kicked off their world tour in Seattle last night (August 26th).

Chris Sharrock, who took over from Zak Starkey earlier his year, was playing his first live show with the band at the Wamu Theatre.

After introducing Sharrock at the end of last night's set, Gallagher told the crowd that the band were “trying to break Spinal Tap's” record for drummers.

Oasis previewed a host of songs from their new album, 'Dig Out Your Soul', during the show, including 'Falling Down' and the LP's lead single 'The Shock Of Lightning'.

Other songs in the bands setlist included 'Lyla', 'Wonderwall' and 'Rock'N'Roll Star'.

As previously reported, Oasis will play a one off show at the Eden Project in Cornwall next month.
