![This audience deserves their 💐| Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger (Live in Argentina) [REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
One of the greatest songs of all time in my opinion.
i'm jealous of people discovering oasis for the first time
the Mid 90s were just an amazing time
One of my top 5 Oasis songs for sure. Please listen to Slide Away, it’s easily a top song by Oasis. Liam’s voice is amazing in that one.
I agree. Oasis is also a band where I often prefer the live versions to the studio version Slide away knebworth 1996 is amazing. So much more attitude and passion
@@evandillon4202totally agree, live is so much better
💯 absolutely amazing!
Give masterplan a reaction I’m sure you will love it 😉🔥
Slide Away and Acquiesce are bangers.
In May 2017, Oasis's (and mine) home town, Manchester UK, was torn apart by a suicide bomber at a an Ariana Grande concert killing 23 people including young children. In the days that followed there was a huge outpouring of grief. There was a huge public gathering to lay flowers, then from the back of the huge crowd , sweeping through the crowd they started singing ' Don't Look Back In Anger'. It has pretty much become Manchester's anthem. Because it sums up the feeling of the people of Manchester. To us, this song and Oasis are very special.thank you for this video, and thank you for liking it so much
That is the best reaction I’ve seen to this or any other Oasis song that I’ve watched on youtube. For your own viewing pleasure have a look at Noel in Buenos Aries singing don’t look back in anger.
This song is still the ultimate crowd pleaser/sing a long tune in Ireland and the UK to this day. The influence Oasis had on the masses here cannot be understated.
So cool watching somebody hear this song for the very first time.
Hi thanks for reacting to this great song. I think it is one of the best songs the band ever did. Noel's voice is incredible on this song. Thanks.
Thank you. 😊 And I'm just learning that there is a Noel. 😅 I didn't catch that there were two difference singers in this group!
@@nikkireviewsNoel and Liam Gallagher, two brothers who absolutely cannot STAND one another 😂 Noel once said something like this in an interview “I love him, of course I do, he’s my brother, but f*** he’s a c***!” 😅😂
I was 16 when I listen to this song for the first time, I've always been a big Beatles fan and I remember that this song, their looks and the video gave me a lot of Beatles vibes, that's why these guys caught my eye and they became my favorite band ever since, their first 2 records are masterpieces. Great reaction btw, cheers from Mexico!
Oh wow, Mexico! Thank you so much for watching. 😊 And yeah, I see mixed opinions on if they give off those Beatles vibes, but I really see it every time I watch a video or just listen to one of their songs!
Hehe, I love that on first listen you asked ‘Who’s Sally?’. No one has a clue. Not even Noel!
😂 Guess we'll never know!
'Sally' is a woman called Melissa Lim from San Francisco whom Noel had a short-lived relationship with after he temporarily left the band after their first album. She had some involvement in his decision to rejoin. If you watch the video 'Who's Sally?' on the 'James Hargreaves Guitar' youtube channel he explains the story in detail.
Incidentally, Noel has distanced himself from the use of his song by Chris Martin and others for political ends. If someone bombs kids at a concert in your home town you, frankly, have a right to be angry. Chris Martin was acting very nefariously.
@@BobBrodie it's not sadly, James Hargreaves just romanticised that part. It was Liam who gave Noel the 'Sally' name because he thought Noel was singing that name (but wasn't) during Noel playing his demo version of the song, ...... The song that is often linked to Melissa in San Francisco is 'Talk Tonight' as Noel wrote that shortly after his brief exit from the band in the US.
@@BobBrodie Noel said that a friend's wife once asked him if sally was sally cinnamon, he said he thought it was funny because the name "sally" was used by a few manchester bands so wonder if he used it as insert a related name here.
@@paultullysafari While the story by James (and with that the whole 90ies trilogy theories, especially about Whats the Story morning glory) is very worth watching, the version of Liam misunderstanding "Sorry" for "Sally" at the time of recording seems just like the "realistic" thing. Not some acronymial wordplay of said woman from SF. They were living the rocknroll lifestyle to the fullest at that time, so i can imagine this just all too well. In the end Noel ended up singing it and kept Sally.
Super cool video, thanks! It's my favourite song since I was 13 lol (I'm 36 now). I heard it on the radio in Poland first, and spent good couple of months trying to figure out how it was called (I didn't speak English back then and the internet was quite limited). It just immediately brings these good feelings about the past and 90s nostalgia. It also followed me through life, through many difficult and happy moments.
I've seen Noel live 3 times and was busting my lungs out singing 'So Sally can wait' with the crowd. Magical moment. Last year I moved to the UK and it's another level - whenever this song goes in the pub the whole pub starts singing. Crazy. And then I got this idea - I asked a tattoo artist from Hamburg I really like if she could draw Sally. I got the tattoo from her last month and it's absolutely amazing ;))
This song is how I converted my 14yo daughter into an Oasis fan and am slowly teaching her it on the guitar. I’ve taught her the chords, she struggles with F to Fm as bar chords aren’t easy as a beginner. Also thrown her way a copy of pattern 1 pentatonic scale. She’s mad fer it!
I put the hook in my 13 yo with the same song.
Totally hooked!
You said about radio x
They did a survey of best British songs and 6 oasis songs were in the top ten.
Thats how big they are in 🇬🇧
The start a revolution from my bed is a direct referance to John Lennon
As a big Beatles fan ♥ the references/homages (Imagine intro/revolution in my bed line)! By far my fave Oasis song! dbl ♥
Wasn't an homage to the beatles it was an homage to john lennon
I wrote on another recent reaction page that this is an absolute British anthem of the 1990s. Pretty much anyone who is over 30 and was born in the UK will know this song, and it's one of those - like "Wonderwall" - that is guaranteed to get a bit of a singalong to the chorus in a crowd, especially after a few drinks! And this was a well established song before the Manchester Arena attack, which is why it could resonate so much when that did happen.
The driver of the cab is the late actor Patrick Macnee, who was famous for the 60s TV show The Avengers (not about the Marvel team!), and the shot where he stands twirling his rolled umbrella is a nod to the character he played.
Surprised you've only just discovered this track, but glad you've both seen and heard it now, and very timely with the Oasis reunion coming up!
You're right to pick up on nods to The Beatles, as there are several deliberate references to elements of Beatles history in this (and other Oasis songs) - so much so that a lot of people who dislike Oasis feel they are too derivative in attempting to be inferior copies of The Beatles, but I've always just appreciated the band for what they are. Not all their songs are great but this is one of their legendary tracks that has already cemented their place in British music history. Well worth checking out more of their catalogue, especially from their earliest albums "Definitely Maybe", "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?" (where this song came from) and "Be Here Now".
Awesome band awesome song cant wait to see them at wembley 2025 🎉🇬🇧
Oh wow, that's awesome that you're getting to see them live. I hope you have a great time!
All I can say is this is a great reaction, love the way you brought in the reel stories video! What this didn't tell you was how big and how revered this song is around the world, just watch this being performed in Brazil, Argentina, Peru, South Korea, Japan
Love that you do research into the song afterwards, it adds a lot of depth to your reactions 😊
Thank you! I do my best to see any extra info I can find. Sometimes it's hard but thankfully, usually, there's something out there for me to find!
I'm not a very emotional guy, but seeing that crowd just spontaneously start to sing just gets me
Their best!
Now that you know the song, please, PLEASE, react to Noel performing it live at River Plate in Argentina. The crowd singing it back to him --with an English accent lol -- chills!
Wow, I will definitely have to check that out! I'm really liking this song since listening to it.. and realizing that it was NOEL! 😅
@@nikkireviews In my opinion the best Oasis songs are sung by Noel: Don't look back in anger, The Masterplan, Talk Tonight
oasis songs you’ll surely love: talk tonight, the masterplan, slide away, half the world way ❤❤❤
Good choice i am of to see them next year liem axtually tweeted me last night i felt like a star 😀
The lyrics "Stand up by the fireplace. Take that look from for your face." is a quote from the Gallagher brothers mother from when they were boys.
Wow. Did not realise this.
Please react to Live Forever, that song will also be on repeat in your playlist, its as good as Dont Look Back in Anger or Champagne Supernova
^
Agreed. Live version at Maine Road '96 2nd night
That seems to be one a lot of people are suggesting. I will stick it in the poll tonight for next week! 😊
@@nikkireviews awesome, thank you Nikki
@@matthewlambert1680agreed has to be the Maine Road version. Simply Oasis at their best
Wow got choked up on the Strip club there,😂.What did you edit out I wonder?HeHe!!Thanks for the extra clip to give us more insight on the video.
😂😂 Yes! But somehow I missed that this was a different person singing than the other songs I listened to. I think I needed a little more insight myself. 🫣
They worshiped the Beatles and sounded like them. I hope they do a stadium tour of the US this summer
Interesting fact you might not know, Noel and Liam had a discussion (or knowing them an argument 😂) about which one either would sing out of Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger and Liam chose Wonderwall. I'm glad cause I think Don't Look Back In Anger suits Noel's voice perfectly. Patrick McKnee from The Avengers in the video too as the chauffeur, nice touch. Also, the song isn't about anything, Noel admits this with alot of his lyrics, he makes them up but the line in the bridge, "stand up beside the fireplace and take that look from off your face" is when as kids Noel and his siblings would stand in front of the fireplace and have their picture took (or possibly if they were in trouble) and I think they used to pull faces and their mother Peggy in an Irish accent would say, "take that Look from off your face".
I’m from the uk and I was about 12 years old when that song came out and I remember thinking to myself this is a moment. I believe this was the height of the Britpop movement and don’t quote me on this as I’m not a Oasis super fan but the first time Noel Gallagher took the lead vocals on a song. Before I believe he wrote songs played the guitar and had backing vocals to his brother Liam. And it was one of the biggest selling singles of the year and got to number 1 in multiple countries and arguably their biggest most popular song
The live version of this song is one of the best, period!
Gotta check out slide away, aquience, and supersonic
The people in white I’m sure is a nod to The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour film when they sing “your Mother Should know”.
The glasses is a Lennon nod as the first two chords are pretty much Imagine.
John Lennon also made the statement " you said the brains I had went to my head"!
Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away
So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's night or day
But please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock and roll band
Who'll throw it all away
I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside 'cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
I heard you say
At least not today
For some reason I can remember exactly where I was when I first heard it - sitting downstairs in a pub called The Gazebo, on a Fri night in around Feb or Mar of 1996. I was with some school mates and would have been 17. Not sure why I can remember that so clearly.
This was on the radio 100 times a day, how can a human not have heard it at this point. Amazing song still though
Oasis have so many good songs Slide away, She's electric and Rock&roll star are some of my favourites
11:41 they were born and raised in Manchester. And Noel is not a really emotional guy, but you could see how moved he was during that clip of the city coming together to something he wrote in the face of tragedy. Gives you hope in the face of adversity.
I think Sally was a misheard lyric by Liam and he told Noel to keep it in but also ties in with Sally Cinammon by the Stone Roses who were a massive influence on Oasis..the video always had elements of the Imagine video by John Lennon with the big country house and White rooms, a big element of the song is a love letter to John Lennon in the style and visuals imo.
It had nothing to do with Sally Cinnamon, Noel said he wished hed thought about that when he wrote it, when he was asked.
@@DJBusinessCake Yeah it ties in abit too well though so we'll have to take his word for that.
@andrewpercival1427 yeah we'll have to take his word considering he's the one who wrote it and has no reason to lie...
@@DJBusinessCake Fair point..you win.
Yes! I just watched the Imagine video cause I had never seen it before and the houses are definitely similar. Also, the very beginning of the song IS Imagine!
Oasis - Live Forever
The brother playing guitar{ Noel} with the orizontal stripe shirt writes all the songs. The othe brother Liam was the singer.
Liam does not sing in this song.
@@znk0r Yes. Liam doesn't sing in this song, but what he is saying is that Noel is the guitarist who is the chief songwriter while Liam is the main vocalist of the band.
Ooh, okay. Thank you for explaining! I didn't catch that.
Mr Steed appearing is the highlight of this video
According to Liam & Noel's older brother Paul, their violent and abusive father used to make the boys stand by the fireplace and shout at them to "take that look from off your face" when taking family photos, which he wanted to show as happy to the outside world.
As Noel was apparently the one who got the most abuse, it's not really surprising that he is reluctant to acknowledge such things as being an influence or an inspiration. The expression "you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out" may very well therefore have initially been directed at Noel's father.
Of course, I don't know for sure but if one reads Paul Gallagher's biography which was published in about 1996, he does mention this.
There was a phone call between Liam and Thomas(the father) where Liam threatened to break his father's legs should he see him again.
Wow, that's so sad.. and very well what this could have been about. 😕
This sang by Noel Gallagher. The main vocalist and frontman (who sang Champagne Supernova) is his brother Liam Gallagher, he sang most of the Oasis’ songs.
Good reactions and great to see more fans of the band..... if it helps you, as a fan since 94, one of the draws to Oasis were their singles, in particular their bside in the 90's because many of them were and are considered to be superior. Check bsides such as Talk Tonight (acoustic), Fade Away (punkier), Listen Up, Underneath The Sky, Rocking Chair, Acquiesce - this will give you a good understanding of why Oasis were loved. Good luck.
Highly recommend checking them out Live. Live forever (Live at Maine Road) for Liam and The Masterplan (Live at Maine road) for Noel are great places to start....BIBLICAL!!!
You should definitely watch the live version from River Plate Stadium in Argentina.
the driver of the taxi is a VERY famous british actor cf john steed.
I remember buying this single when it came out in the 90’s… it’s a real classic pub singalong song!
Keep em coming 👍👍❤
Please check out She’s Electric by Oasis: another one I think you’ll find catchy
they have 100s of songs, as Oasis, and as just Noel and Liam Gallagher solo work. most of those songs, are great. huge rabbit hole,
Hmm so do Liam and Noel switch off with singing then? I'm going to chalk it up to me being new to this band but I thought this was the same person as previous songs. 😅 I thought the vocals sounded deeper in this one but didn't even mention it cause I simply thought it was the same person, just a different sound.
@@nikkireviews Noel sang this song, Liam sang the previous 2 you have done. Noel is the older brother, guitarist, who writes every song. Liam is the main singer. very different voices really. But yea,, do look similar if you arent fully aware. 🙂
@chrislc35 Okay, that makes me feel a bit better about not knowing. 😂 I even re-watched my video and talked about him and said Noel, but for some reason I just saw Gallagher and thought it was the same person. Oh my mind.. 🫠
@@nikkireviews its fine 😂. im from the UK, and everyone here knows Oasis, biggest band in the last maybe 30years in the UK, by far. If you continue their rabbit hole, you will see Liam singing the majority as he has the more rockier voice. hope you do 😀
Live for Ever
I will add it to the poll when I post it tonight!
Years ago he said they were going to bigger than the Beatles. Lol. He's obsessed with the Beatles.
"A bell will ring" from their album, "Dont Believe the Truth" is a great one.
My fave Oasis track is called Gas Panic from the Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants album, Deffo worth a listen
Please do Live Forever next, it's the greatest song of all time
Been a fan since mid-90s…got to see them in Calgary in 2008 just before they imploded…hoping the rumours of some North American dates pan out because I’ll be there…my 50 year old Taylor Swift moment 🙏🏻As for this particular song …widely considered Great Britain’s unofficial national anthem !
Oh wow, well I hope you get to see them again! 😊
You should listen to the whole (What's the story) Morning Glory album. Every song on there is a banger.
This song is a tribute to John Lennon. The intro is the same chords as Imagine. "Gonna start a revolution from my bed" refers to when John and Yoko did a bed in for peace.
This is the oasis song. So good.
Headshrinker and eyeball tickler if you want a couple of bangers
I added Headshrinker to the poll this week! 😊
Step out
Slide away
Cast no Shadow
Stop crying your heart out
Idlers Dream
Talk tonight
Some Might Say
Definitely do look into the Stone Roses. Another iconic Manchester band and influence on Oasis.
Slide away
Live forever
Acquiase
Supersonic
Morning glory
Masterplan
These ones really define Oasis
But since you've heard some ballads so far, it's time for you to get into the more ricknroll ones
I'd say - Supersonic or Acquaise, ti get acquainted with the more harshe sound
And if not - Slide away which is a combination of both sounds
the singer in this was Noel, his brother Liam, the one doing nothing in the video, is their main vocalist...you referenced the John Lennon resemblance, but even the beginning of this song starts off like John Lennon's Imagine
I didn't even realize it was a different singer than in the last songs I listened to! Or maybe it was just Champagne Supernova that was Liam? 🤔 This is news to me that there was a brother lol. Guess I gotta dig a little deeper for the next one! 😜
You should hear his live version on Howard Stern show. Dude was a belter.. he sings it more gently nowadays but it's still great.
This was one of the few songs sung by Noel. While he was the primary songwriter, his brother Liam sang most of the lead vocals.
Unrelated, this is my go to karaoke song...
Somehow I didn't realize the singer was different. 👀 I'm gonna blame being a noob to this band as the reason lol.
And that's a good karaoke song to have! 🎵
I recommend checking out his solo stuff, "If I had Gun" is a good song to start off with
He does say that he's going to start a revolution from his bed, the John Lennon glasses weren't on accident
This is my second favourite Oasis tune. You definitely need to listen to Stand By Me.
Stop Crying your heart out - you would love that one
Welcome to the Gallagher Brothers world.
Usually Liam Gallagher sing songs for Oasis like Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall, etc. This is Noel Gallagher singing and he is the main songwriter and guitarist of the band.
This is a great song! You should listen to She’s Electric as well !!
such a great song, you should react to Noel singing this song in River Plate
Honestly I'm just learning there is a Noel. 😂 But I will add it to the list to check out! Thank you. 😊
If you liked this live, watch the live version of Champagne Supernova at Earl's court in 1995, you will be absolutely mindblown.
"Don't Go Away" is also a beautiful song, please react as well ❤
Oasis - The Shock of the Lighting
Thank you, I will add it to the list! 😊
@@nikkireviews you’re welcome
It may be a simple song but its a beautiful song
1st listen ! 😂 ,haven't you got a radio?
I do. I guess I was just tuned into another station for years. 😂😅
The glasses remind you of Lennon,the beginning was total Imagine. I love Oasis and am 🏴. But I more fun at Nirvana gigs!
Oh wow. I was unfamiliar with that video.. but even the pulling up to the house was similar. Very interesting!
And I could imagine Nirvana shows being wild!! 😂
Watch it live in Argentina, unbelievable
I will have to do that! Lots of people have been suggesting a live version!
Also talk tonight live with Paul weller
I hope you realise it's Noel singing this one.
Enjoying your reactions 👍
If you enjoyed this - I suggest you react to Oasis playing it live in River Plate stadium in 2009. It's on another level.
Now, try ""All Around the World", "Whatever" "Don´t Go Away", "Little By Little", "She´s Eletric", "Cast No Shadow", "The Masterplan", "D´You Know What I Mean", "The Importance of Being Idle", and good luck! Oasis are back, the most cool band of the 90th´s! And I hope they come to play in São Paulo, Brazil. Good job by the way!:)
happy you are finding out how good Oasis are , could you jump forward a few years and listen to "Shock of the lightening " or go back a couple of years and listen to "the masterplan" but take your time
It's their best song. It has about a dozen Beatles nicks in it, but it's the most complete, emotionally satisfying song of theirs. I have a weird relationship with Oasis: I love them when Noel sings. Can't stand them when Liam does.
Im guessing the girls in white were like the playthings of the owner of that mansion. John Steed driving the taxi, BTW. Alan White (the drummer) married one of the models in the video (lucky him 😀)
Gunna b amazing .there from ENGLAND!!! UTFB
Live forever, Supersonic, Cigarettes and alcohol, Some might say and Rock n Roll star are all worth checking out
He looks like John Lennon because John Lennon and Beatles are the favorite band of them. Not just sunglasses but their hairstyle also resembles Rubber Soul era Beatles styles.
Yep! Their whole look really.
Please please please react to live forever 🙏
Wow, a lot of people are requesting this one! I will add it to the poll tonight. Thank you! 😊
@@nikkireviews it's a song from their first album and I would say the song that really made people sit up and take notice of them
Hola Nikki. Te gustaría ver un concierto en vivo de Oasis en Argentina? Podrías ver el de Buenos Aires en el estadio de River Plate o el de Lolapalooza.
If you like Noel's voice you need to check out his other band, Noel Gallaghers High flying Birds.
Another good Oasis song is Acquiesce.
I honestly didn't even realize that it was Noel. 🙈 But yes, I definitely wanna check more out! Thank you. 😊
Stand By Me and also The Masterplan are good Oasis songs
You don't need to understand any of it just enjoy the lyrical genius that is noel gallagher
You should really check out don't look back in anger live 2009 river plate stadium Argentina. It's crazy
React to , Oasis - whatever
Live forever is a great oasis song easy top 3
Ariane grande and coldplay performed dont look back in anger at a concert for the victims, 2017 , its beautiful
I would say only Coldplay performed it. Ariana just stood there.
I will have to check that one out.
@@overwatchvoice-092 👀
This girl needs to watch some live stuff
This is the best Oasis song in my opinion, but if you try and listen to it live at their really big concerts from the past, the crowd overwhelmingly takes over the song. This is a powerful thing to hear but unfortunately it's rare to find a really good version of "Don't look back in anger" sung by just the band and not the crowd live. However this does add to the songs legendary status among all time great favorite songs in concert because of the interaction of the crowd.
