Live music needed someone arrogant and uplifting like oasis. Nirvana were amazing but the suicide depression thing was getting contagious with kids. Songs like live forever and supersonic were absolutely needed for the time they came out
Nirvana and Oasis are both great bands in my book so it's not a one or the other situation for me, sometimes I'm more in the mood for Nirvana, sometimes I'm in the mood for Oasis and sometimes I can quite happily listen to both. Great music comes from all kinds of different personalities and from different people with different experiences of life. Sure, people have their preferences of course but theirs no set way or set manual you have to follow if you make music. The idea that you HAVE to make happy music or you HAVE to make sad music is stupid and an incredibly limited way of viewing what music is, which is an expression of what the person who is writing it and playing it is thinking, feeling and trying to say.
I think people don’t get Noel’s dryness, he’s funny and the bravado comes with the territory when you’re from working class Manchester but there’s a legit genuineness to him - he doesn’t care if he’s liked or not but it’s clear he has a good heart.
Bit of a late comment, but I agree he does have a good heart and cares the tone of his voice when he talks about fans. He just has views and sticks by them and rarely changes them. Yes really confident in himself but why shouldn't he be it's a good thing imo
REEL REALITY, I have to say , when the words "When I was in the South of France with Bono" actually came out of his mouth I laughed so loudly....did he really say those words, the eternal code words for pretentious snobbery? I always liked Noel but he is very confusing these days.
@REEL REALITY, ty for reply. Some tunes are ok, but the cringe factor is there. Liam IS doing so well, and has emerged as the older version of the very naive boy who was there at the start...mouthy but not malicious. Because of the flurry of Gallagher activity, and because I'm seeing Liam in Australia in December, I've been looking at old interviews from when they first appeared, to see what the dynamic was back then. Frankly what has happened was written in what they said then. Noel was calculating, intended Oasis to last only as long as it suited him, bossy, called the songs and group 'his', and although he was also funny and warm, he was so lethally condescending to Liam that even interviewers were stunned. Liam was very trusting, expected Oasis to last forever, lived in an r'n'r fantasy, and certainly thought they were in it together forever. The most galling thing is Noel criticises Liam for all the things he also did...drugs, drink, terrible violence, ( cricket bat anyone?), as if he wasn't as bad😜 Anyway yes Liam's stuff is cracking and if he didn't do any Oasis in December I'd be fine, happy to see him live and hear the new stuff. 😍
Thanks for posting this! I remember watching this on MTV back when I was high school. Fell in love with Oasis after watching it and never looked back (in anger or otherwise).
Allot of very relevant contemporary rock music tries to sound in the same vein as oasis, in some regards ... it’s just not pushed by record labels as much, because there is a grand conspiracy to dumb down the youth into materialism with rap music
Forget all the journalistic nonsense. Genuine reactions from fans is the most telling thing about the quality of Oasis gigs back in the day. 19:09 You can see in their faces they witnessed greatness.
Noel said people like bands after 3 Rd and 4 th album well I've been hooked since the 1 st album it only got better and better after that love it miss their music
I only noticed whilst uploading this that MTV misunderstood Noel when calling the other band members 'plant pots' and instead subtitle him saying 'plack pots'!! what the hell is a plack pot?
katoness Yeah well he got his teeth fixed with his millions and goes to expensive haircuts and wears men's fashion today. But What's the point in looking good then, He was much more real in 1995-96 and already a chief songwriter.
The ironic thing is the Morning Glory album sold more than any Coldplay album in America, yet according to the British press Oasis never cracked America, so rubbish
They didn't 'crack' America in the sense that they're one of the biggest things to ever grace music in the UK, that's not the case in the US, they were probably the biggest band in America at one point, but saying they were the biggest band in England is an understatement
@billymurray1687 didn't crack america? Just sold out met life stadium, solider field, Gillette stadium and the Rose Bowl. 10 million people tried to get tickets to their UK gigs in 2025. sold out Australia, Japan and south Korea and Brazil and Argentina are ro follow.
Taylor TM ' there is nothing sweetheart about arrogance and ego beyond control , no matter who you are... Also, I can name about 300 artists hwo really were amazing. Well before i name him. If you are a rock star you can have a bit of arrogance but not this much and not if you are Oasis. Also, nothing absolutely nothing beats being humble or down to earth.
Евгения Васильева TRue you are right, nor every musician should be humble,. Oasis should though,,,, I don't listen to Britpop at all,,, im on an entirely different tip , darling. from 50's experimental jazz to punk, post punk,..... to rock to electronic , blues , ambient , etc,,,,Britpop is just not on my radar, BUt back to humbleness, Mc Cartney is humble,,,, surely not dull though....So is JOhnny Marr (the smiths)...beleieve me Oasis should be humble...More than most!
You do know oasis had loads of success in Europe and Asia after this right? Oasis don't quite well after this just didn't have the same success in America. Oasis sold over 70 million records.
What do you mean? They were one of the biggest bands in the world and continued to sell out stadium tours until they disbanded. They had numerous no. 1s after what's the story. Sold millions more albums etc. And now Liam is back with his second solo album which went to number 1. Its just rock n roll.
@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied you are the sensitive one. Where did I say this applied to all Americans? And who are "you guys". I am one person from Ireland, not plural.
Old Noel on drugs was super funny and hilarious. A treat to watch and listen to fucking comedy gold 😂😂 Love how he didnt give a shit about anyone just says it how it is.
I defy future generations to surpass the quaility of sound that Oasis produced it rocked my life . Its jan 2020.Im 53.Oasis shaped me .britpop forrrevver.love it ..stoner roses .charlatons. the farm .happy mondays.noel , liam. manny .jonny marr.bono .and fuckin Elvis, there I said it.music is primal .make it your own long live rock and fuckin roll...ladies and gentelmen ....ELVIS HAS LEFT THE FOOKIN Building......rant over.x
The fucking good ol mtv days all day music all day documentary of bands i even miss the mtv unplugged i hope you know where to download the oasis mtv unplugged in 1996 i cannot find one now whats with mtv a bunch of fucking reality shows
Noel sounds different in this period due to his drug use, proper caning it, quite funny as a kid watching him on Breakfast news looking mashed and talking shit ha
All the other famous rock and roll artists who were doughters are certainly talking out the other sides of their arses by now - the ones who are still alive anyway. The crowd sings along with every song these days, whether performed by Liam or Noel, how many old bands can claim that years later?
Mtv was absolutely brilliant back then. Especially Mtv Europe. Then it got broke up and watered down to the point where it was so dire i hated it with a passion
Oasis were the best in the 90s, I'm so glad i lived in the UK during those days to get the full effect of their glory years, the USA didn't quite get it, i think they should of had much more success over there...
I’m from New York and remember oasis was big over heat. We are too into hip hop here and the hip hop is trash now. But oasis sold out Madison square garden in 26 minutes. I thought they did well
I never understood why people say they didn't make it in the states when they sold millions of records here and sold out Madison Square Garden - and Wonderwall is one of the most recognized songs of all time.
I'm not sure i've ever heard guigsy speak more than a few words, he always is just there looking awkward, or just confused as to where he is and how tf he is playing in the biggest band in the world
There's no such thing as an "American" accent, just like there is no such thing as a "British" accent. There are as many regional accents in America as there are in the UK.
* Noel loves the Beatles * * Says music isnt art * * The Beatles have one of the most artistic albums within the last 100 years in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band * * Noel sighs *
'We're not arrogant, we just believe we're the best band in the world'
As i can remember liam put it, whether you like it or not we have deserved the right to sit with the greats st the table
Live music needed someone arrogant and uplifting like oasis. Nirvana were amazing but the suicide depression thing was getting contagious with kids. Songs like live forever and supersonic were absolutely needed for the time they came out
Same goes for Blur's upbeat stuff. Yes, I love both bands :)
Absolutely Oasis were a breath of fresh air back in the day
Oliver Read - exactly why I listen to Oasis and not Nirvana. Oasis were bright, brilliant and smart about life. They’re who I look up to.
You dont get Nirvana and their music then
Nirvana and Oasis are both great bands in my book so it's not a one or the other situation for me, sometimes I'm more in the mood for Nirvana, sometimes I'm in the mood for Oasis and sometimes I can quite happily listen to both.

That's not a percussion instrument that's what Noel trims his eyebrows with.
if I could only go back in time to see them back in ‘94-‘96 or just see all of the hype of them back then. one of my favorite bands of all time
Yeah you missed out unfortunately saw them from 93 onwards I'm 45 now
the best days
Thanks for posting this! I remember watching this on MTV back when I was high school. Fell in love with Oasis after watching it and never looked back (in anger or otherwise).
Guigsy may've been the luckiest man in the 90s rock n roll scene. Hehe. Cheers, Guigs💯
Not just Guigsy, all 3 non-Gallaghers. Let's be honest.
So you’re telling me MTV used to be about.. music?
Yes. It was a blessed time to be alive. Ah the 90s.
no way??? but what about those award winning reality tv shows??
Yes absolutely
not just music but GOOD music
Used to be good yes pure music
"I need help" lmao who could ever hate this FOOKING legend
Best album in the world, best band in the world, best frontman in the world
Watching this reminded me of how impactful Oasis were and great the sound they had was. It was pure Rock n Roll.
Oasis was my favorite band in the 90's.
17:44 Guigs high as a kite laughing at Liam's story about getting a shoe thrown at him lol
I laughed, and I'm sober as a nun in cofession.
they were fucking great back in the day changed music for the better !!!!
Yet music today is complete and utter bollox.
Allot of very relevant contemporary rock music tries to sound in the same vein as oasis, in some regards ... it’s just not pushed by record labels as much, because there is a grand conspiracy to dumb down the youth into materialism with rap music
All bands belong to a generation, very few define one
Still missing Oasis . . . and the old MTV channel.
"WHERE IN THE HELL D'YOU GET THAT ACCENT FROM?" hahahahahahahahahaha
He sounds like Paul Gallagher🤣
Burnage
Fuckin mad fer it
He sounded like a southern american
LMAO at Noel's american accent! I fucking love him soooo much. I'm so glad he hasn't changed after all these years !!
"I thought he was gonna write 'hello', but hello has two Ls, so he can't spell it" 😂
its just 'ello
I must have played the first 17 seconds so many times. So good!
Forget all the journalistic nonsense. Genuine reactions from fans is the most telling thing about the quality of Oasis gigs back in the day. 19:09 You can see in their faces they witnessed greatness.
Truly amazing live band
Still the best band from the 90s to this days do they aren't even around anymore
3 years later a reply. Out of all of my music, Oasis is the only band that the kids will listen to. Says something I think.

Paul rock
That's exactly what it is. A pop song.
@@LeterPerman dad rock

Just dawned on me, that in actual fact, Liam didn't actually say all that much.
10FC ULL i gotta say that he is much more articulate now than he actually was
I remember watching this back in day brilliant 💙 #oasis
I miss these days. I was drowning in self loathing and my mind was drenched in a A.D.H.D haze 24/7
Basically describing my youth, but I was born in ‘93.
I remenber see this whent frist come up, back in 96, there where fucking giant's, they still are, thank's for put this, brind me a lot of memories.
I appretiate the subtitles really
I only noticed whilst uploading this that MTV misunderstood Noel when calling the other band members 'plant pots' and instead subtitle him saying 'plack pots'!! what the hell is a plack pot?
+Darren Wilshaw he also said oasis from manchester in london england!
+lancashire bomber He said "Manchester AND London" because some of the band are from London.
he said manchester IN london, mate.
+lancashire bomber Well he didn't, he said AND, hahaha
you must be so proud!
Noel looks better now than he did then
katoness Yeah well he got his teeth fixed with his millions and goes to expensive haircuts and wears men's fashion today.
But What's the point in looking good then, He was much more real in 1995-96 and already a chief songwriter.
Iroquois he was also a terrible drug addict. Glad he’s cleaned up and his new band is great.
Their songs have never been the same since they left Manchester
He gets his mono brow threaded these days...

rumors of heavy drug use. haha you dont say they not just rumors. ciggarettes cocaine and jack daniels is what rock n roll lives on

Michael David I think he’s actually gotten younger looking... Benjamin button guy right there
well he was last 20's when they started. he was 30 by 1997.
Bad genes
@@BarriosGroupie genes have nothing to do with it
@@dbo514 the genes matter, barrios groupie is right, otherwise tell me why did he look older than he was?
I remember seeing the very first airing of this in America! No subtitles!
The narrator says Manchester AND London, England. London referring to where drummer Alan White is from
Thank you for clarifying, I was confused about that part.
No, he definitely said IN.
9:39 - I wonder what Noel today thinks of this
the good old days
"focking wonderwall, that song never dies:
this makes me really sad about how the rest of their career played out, especially in the end :(
You do know oasis had loads of success in Europe and Asia after this right? Oasis don't quite well after this just didn't have the same success in America. Oasis sold over 70 million records.

And as solo artists they're doing very well even now. Noel is trucking along and Liam played f*cking Knebworth again!
Thank You. :)
be here now was and is fantastico!
I remember when MTV used to do cool shit like this
"Five working class lads from Manchester in London, England"
"and"
He’s speaking for Whitey…
I was 12 when this came on. Dam man
A parka in 96!? I wouldn't have bet that, thought 97 for sure. Also, MTv did a good job on this program. And thanks for uploasing.
no way he would have 87 million pounds at that point
“Five working class lads from manchester *’n* London, England”
It wasn’t a Manchester band from ‘95 onward, he’s speaking for Whitey.
@@AstroJenkins im aware, it was just a joke on the announcer’s pronunciation.
Everyone in 2019: 14:26
in 2020* i think you meant haha
Saw this when it premiered in 96. I laughed forever at that part!
Glory days, cheers lads.
when Noel said his songwriting skill is declining. he's absolutely right! he even predicted an instrumental album. a lot like his new material.
1:05 Five working class lads from Manchester in London, England 😳
Wow, you guys are a bit sensitive. Just because a doofus didn’t know his geography doesn’t speak for the other 300 million+ of us, y’know…
@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied you are the sensitive one. Where did I say this applied to all Americans? And who are "you guys". I am one person from Ireland, not plural.
“5 London class lads from Manchester in London England” what the actual bloody fuck have I just heard
@Harvey Smith No he didn't. He should have but he didn't.
Manchester and London the guy said, Why does everyone keep saying Manchester in London. 😂
No, he definitely said IN London, England. Listen again.
Old Noel on drugs was super funny and hilarious.
A treat to watch and listen to fucking comedy gold 😂😂
Love how he didnt give a shit about anyone just says it how it is.
‘Manchester in Londonengland’ brilliant
"And", not "in". Dim.
Alan White isn’t from Manchester…
I'm 14 years old again.
Noel's bit about Americans down south is perfect. Even other Americans don't wanna go down there lol
West coast here-how right you are. Even if the people were all great, it’s like Australia down there with the bugs, weather and shit.

5 working class lads from Manchester, in London England?
John Fosher HA HA
John Fosher Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that haha.
I was about to comment the exact same thing😂 Americans assume that there's nothing more than London in the UK
John Fosher I believe he said Manchester AND London. Alan White is from London, not Manchester like the rest.
Mike Hamric Listen to 0:35 and 0:42, you can hear how he pronounces "IN" & "AND", it is clear he said "from Manchester IN London" at 1:04.

US version
I'm not sure i've ever heard guigsy speak more than a few words, he always is just there looking awkward, or just confused as to where he is and how tf he is playing in the biggest band in the world
Why did Noel actually do a good American accent😂
There's no such thing as an "American" accent, just like there is no such thing as a "British" accent. There are as many regional accents in America as there are in the UK.
Ben Robbins an accent from the USA is an American accent. There’s lots of American accents but they’re still American accents.
