![Oasis - 'Definitely Maybe' - Noel Gallagher In Conversation With John Robb [Full Interview]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JZKmihCrp8I/mqdefault.jpg)
Ah, Acquiesce. What a masterpiece.
Well said. Perfect tune to start off a Saturday morning with a freshly rolled joint
It’s cool, but the studio version is a little too slow. Live versions tastier.
Probably their best song!!! So powerful!!!
@@Wolfdragon92584 it's up there as one of their best, but I'd say slide away is my no 1 😎🇬🇧🎸
yes...........but Cigarettes and Alcohol blows my mind
I'm ashamed to admit I jumped into Oasis only about 4-5 years ago. But when I dove in, it was absolutely non-stop. And my God, I quickly realized what I've been missing all these years. Truly an epic band. British rock is easily the greatest in the world.
Same here, managed to completely miss their heyday and didn’t start listening to them until about the same time as you. They’re now one of my favorite bands and they’ve both had great solo albums.
What made you hesitant with them….or initially turned you off them?
yes
I’m doing the same now, far more to them than being loud mouths and bucket hats it’s really good music behind the whole image
Bro, same here! My journey began in 2015 and I'm almost 30, so I missed out a lot! Saw the Knebworth film last year and I felt the nostalgia for something I haven't even know piercing me.
Thank God that Liam is still keeping the whole thing alive. Noel fell a bit into some Coldplay trance for me, so I'm not really listening to him.
I’m 41, Oasis & The Verve are still my two favorite bands to this day!
The verve are brilliant
Yah….. I’m 56 , I’m a yank And concur with your two bands ….…, Interesting both the lead singers of our bands have gone out to put out great solo careers…. I saw Richard and Liam out here in Hollywood…. Too this day coolest collection of fans ever….stay strong just watching 🤙🏽
Same As Man!
Same age. Will forever be an Oasis fan boy. I was also at Haigh Hall for the Verves homecoming gig at their peak
Listen Up is an absolute gem of a B-side from the very earliest days and probably my favourite Oasis song. Liam’s vocals are epic. It’s a real deep cut. It’s also probably one of Noel’s best solos too!
Boom, about time someone gave this song the credit it’s due - up there in my top 5 Oasis songs for sure mate 👍
Agreed 'Listen Up' is unreal
Also loved "It's good to be free" .. sounds like a Neil Young tune
Absolutely, Listen Up is the lost or hidden masterpiece. There are lots of great Oasis B-sides of course, but most people have heard The Masterplan, Half the World Away or Talk Tonight at some point. Listen Up, however, has slipped by most non-Oasis fans awareness and it really is as good as anything they've written. As someone pointed out, the guitar melodies are among their best but Listen Up is also really poignant lyrically. The "I don't mind being on my own" part is really moving. Again, as someone else said, the original b-side version is one of Liam's best vocals too. Since the mid-noughties Noel has been doing a beautiful acoustic version live.. Superb song.
One of my favorite oasis tunes is a really underrated one from the Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants album, called Gas Panic. It was also one of the highlights from their, otherwise poor, Wembley stadium gigs in 2000
I think that whole album was underrated really. Some quality tunes on there for sure!
I'm not a hardcore fan....but I've always liked them.
Personally, my favorite song of theirs, hands down, is Shock of the Lightening. Such gorgeous lush interesting chord choices underneath a stellar melody. And that major to minor chord idea at the beginning tells you this is about to be an epic song. I love it. :)
Ace tune.
Gas Panic and Shock ov Lightning are EPIC TUNES !!
@@martinparker9249 Indeed. The later stuff in general doesn't get enough credit in my opinion
I love Oasis and whilst not the most "technical" musicians, they do what's exactly on the tin: Rock and roll.
I find it refreshing when a more technical guitarist (I don't know how else to put it) appreciates Oasis.
In my anecdotal experience, it seems the opposite occurs.
I think regardless of skill, it all boils down to the sound and melody and if our ears dig it.
My normal retort to musical snobbery is thus: You go and write hit albums using basic chords that have been used millions of times before. Good luck with that.
Keep up the great work Mr. H
I'm a musician, with decades of amateur playing experience. After I started playing guitar and then playing actual passing music for other people, exactly what you are saying here was etched into my being. If a critic turned up, I would offer them my guitar and ask them politely to play something for everyone. In thirty years, no one ever did! It's easy to say "love it" or "hate it", but for any hecklers out there, exactly how many hit records have you made? Good comment.
Great comment ☝️
Yep. Not so easy. If it was, why isn’t everyone doing it? I enjoyed Oasis as a young man & im liking a lot of NGHFB stuff as an older guy, too. If I was to see a band live, I’d very probably choose theatre sized venues right away. I’m with Noel on there being a different & more intimate vibe there. Stadium venues are intimidating & you see the artists from 50 yards away on a big screen. Everyone waving their phones. Not for me in my 60s.
Technical ability means Nothing, what matters and will always matter is SONGS !
@@andysalter7192 melody. That's all that matters.
Im 42 and I’ve listened to Oasis from the very start. They are one of the reasons i started buying guitars and today i still sing and play their songs.
Same here man, I'm a year older than you and them and The Stone Roses were the soundtrack of my teens and still love them both just as much in my 40s. Going to see Liam at knebworth on Saturday.. buzzing ✌🏼
Same here. 42, full on Oasis fan from the 90s.
Oasis was my favourite band from age about 14 to 18. I managed to see them live at Leeds festival one year. I know every song, I bought every single and album as they came out. I learnt to play guitar and loved learning to play and sing their songs. What can I say, I’ve grown up now and moved into other things, but I’ll always love their music and appreciate them.
Acquiesce was on Some Might Say along with Talk Tonight and Headshrinker. Incredible output for all of those to be B-sides
Their b-sides truly are amazing. Let's all make believe, listen up, masterplan, one way road and many many more.
fADE aWAY ONE OF MY FAVES !
Easily had the best b-sides ever.
That progression in Stand By Me is closer to All The Young dudes than Something I reckon. The more I listen to Oasis I can hear more and more influences, from The Sweet to the Pistols and more....
They always get compared to the Beatles but they have more in common with Slade imo
@@tigermatty
Spot on. First album - garage punk Slade. Bits of T Rex obviously, too.
And then after that, it's all Stig, Ron, Dirk and Barry.
@@tigermatty the buzzcocks
I see what you did there Justin, adding the sacred oasis chord shape in the “Hawkins rides again” jingle… Bravo sir

I love that you coordinate your attire to the subject! Wonderfully camp-ish and amusing bit of appeal.
I too deeply appreciate your football managers' jacket... (Bat wings? 🦇)
Love listening to you play.👍
Nirvana too are one of my favourite ultimate best bands of all time ever! ❤️
I always vibed with Morning Glory a whole lot. I like several of their songs but was never inspired to buy any if their records. Thank you for the playlist.
Much love to you Mr. Hawkins
Gonna bless you with 5 oasis songs you may not have given a chance of that are great 1. The Masterplan 2. Gas Panic 3. Listen Up 4. Talk Tonight 5. Lyla
Your doing a brilliant job, mr Hawkins. Watching your videos has reignited my love for the guitar again after 6 years of it collecting dust on my wall. Thanks to your positive attitude and encouragement i have actually for the first time wrote a few songs of my own. Thanks you very much and keep your hands off of my woman.
Fabulous Review! Spot on observations , thanks for that, Very entertaining!
The thing at the end of the *Stand By Me* chorus always reminded me of *All the Young Dudes*
Noel must love that tune as they used to sing that over the end of Whatever live, and the melody is also in the background of Don’t Look Back in Anger
I said the same thing above
I dont know how Justin didnt say this. Saying it was Harrison like seemed like reaching too I couldnt understand what he meant in his example. Its always been known its from All The Young Dudes.
James Hargreaves’s is great at highlighting this stuff for oasis tunes ua-cam.com/video/QO5X2_2_7PA/v-deo.html
Definitely “All the Young Dudes”!
So many memories of the 90s and oasis. Vividly remember a weeks school trip to Normandy, on the coach everyday, everyone singing along to What's the Story.
The first 2 albums i bought by saving my school lunch money, bought them on cassette from woolies!
This is the first time that I've heard anyone mention Tony McCarrol's contribution to Definitely Maybe as being key to their early sound. I also agree that Supersonic was the best song on Definitely Maybe and, for me, is still the best song they ever made. I never get bored of it. Good work Justin, I love these videos. Will see The Darkness again next time you're in Madrid.
The chorus goes on and on and I love it. So good.
Agree entirely about Tony McCarroll. I believe Noel himself drummed on some of the songs on DM. I'd put Slide Away as the best song but Supersonic is up there.
So glad I discovered these videos. Love hearing musicians talk about other musicians. Keep it up!
They are the whole reason I picked up a guitar, which led me on a journey of guitar playing and bands. Because they got me into playing is ultimately why I watch channels like this and find then fascinating!
Excellent vid, and I'm glad to see Tony McCarroll get some love. His simple, driving beats were a major part of their early sound. They've had technically better drummers since, but he'll always be Oasis' drummer for me.
As a budding drummer..like Noel said..’each drummer was the right fit for each album’..I agree
I always thought Tony McCarroll suited them better. Alan White was clearly a more technical drummer but it’s not like the band were playing with time signatures or anything particularly complex. Best song on “What’s the Story” is “Some Might Say” imo.
@@leewhieldon4299 spot on.Tony would never have been right for them big deep fills on something like don’t look back in anger, but Alan’s never matched him on bring it on down
@@stewrmo Noel sacked him
@@stewrmo You're thinking of Guiggsy the best player .. he was the big stoner ..... McCarroll was sacked.
The first album I ever bought was What's The Story...on tape! When I started playing guitar a few years later, it was Oasis songs that I took my first steps with. I had the Morning Glory and Be Here Now tab books and learned them all note for note. They were a true rock n' roll band, and the first band I ever loved.
I suddenly feel VERY old indeed reading your comment..lol..I' m 55 in June & bought my first vinyl probably about 47 yrs ago ..lol...One of my all time fav ( I still own the original ) I bought was New Boots N' Panties by Ian Dury & The Blockheads..I saw Oasis play in Manchester on a few occasions playing in pubs before they were famous..I saw Nirvana play once in a pub in Liverpool ..lol.not many people would believe that but it's totally true !
Growing up in the 90s me and my brothers and their friends were OBSESSED with Oasis. Obsessed. We would tape their videos and interviews on MTV, Tonight Shows, etc, often waiting hours and hours for anything Oasis, AND whenever we hear anyone say anything negative about them we would be so spiteful towards whoever it came from. We bought all of their singles, rarities, b-sides, magazines, and hung onto every word Noel Gallagher said. Oasis was and will always be near and dear to my heart. Btw I remember buying a magazine where Noel said something negative about the Darkness and Justin replying back with something like “Noel is just a bitter old man who has to fire shots on his way down” I was like WOW I love the Darkness and Justin replied to a member of my favorite band of all time! I was mind blown.
My favourite band of all time. Noel Gallagher is a genius. Who else has a LIST of iconic B-SIDE songs!?!?!?! The A-Side speaks for itself.
They are legends. Off to see Noel play in Dublin tomorrow evening. 4th time seeing him live.
Saw Oasis about 8 times 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
There’s a method to those iconic Whatever/What’s the story B-Sides and why they’re actually B-Sides… it’s actually genius and when it comes to light, it will BLOW PEOPLE’S MINDS!
Oasis were my favorite band back in the mid 90s. WHATS THE STORY is one of the greatest albums from that decade.
Every song you mentioned, i mutter: "that's a tune". They made so many.
Excellent observations. Oasis are one of my all time favorites. While many dismissed them as a Beatles copy, I view them as a band that saw there was a lot more gold to be mined out of that vein. Yes the influences are clear but they also have a distinct Oasis sound. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you
You casually showcase the usefulness and functionality of flip-up sunglasses quite well in this. Ride on!
The Masterplan was a collection of b sides from What’s the story I think. It had a lot of good songs (talk tonight, half the world away, stay young). I’m 45 years old and I still have an oasis playlist today.
Bsides from singles of the first 3 albums, great collection.
Probably and arguably my favourite Oasis complete album pound for pound. I could put The Masterplan on right now and not skip a single track.
The master plan is probably their 3rd best imo and it’s the b sides lol
Another Justin's video about Oasis. I should be studying but fuck it... let's ride again.
Oasis was by far my favorite band in highschool. They had a B sides compilation album called The Masterplan that was better than a many bands normal albums.
Never got to see them live however.
My favorite bit of "Oasis song sounds like..." is Shakermaker and that old commercial Id Like to Buy the World a Coke...
They really were rock n roll. We should have appreciated it more while they were together. Here's to hoping we get to see/hear it again.
At which point it would become the antithesis of R n R. Best to leave it as it was imo.
@@psychedelicbadger4092 Fair
I seem to recall Noel claimed the "Stand by Me"riff was actually lifted from All the Young Dudes. but he did talk a lot of "shite".
I was 14/15 when Definitely Maybe came out.They changed my life.I couldn’t of been more obsessed with them & influenced by them.The first two albums are complete masterpieces.
They even broke up on my birthday ✌🏾
In suddenly feel VERY old reading that comment..lol.
Slide away will always be my favourite oasis song, that or talk tonight
Love your videos. Your channel’s just been recommended by my absolute favourite guitarist, Tom Bukovac, on his equally great channel. It’s actually made my Sunday.
My top 10 Oasis songs (probably) in no particular order….Supersonic, The Masterplan, Don’t Look Back In Anger, Some Might Say, Cast No Shadow, Acquiesce, Talk Tonight, Listen Up, Stop Crying Your Heart Out & Wonderwall
After Oasis changed my taste in music I ended up buying a Darkness album 🤷
No matter what Justin wears, he looks so fucking effortlessly cool as fuck.
i really have been enjoying your podcast lately Justin. Awesome. Great info on Bands and musicians. Thank you man!!
Would love to hear you break down music with Rick Beato.
Musically it doesn’t get any simpler. But it doesn’t need to be complicated to be decent. And oasis made this very clear.they were the music of the 90s and early 00s. They had the swagger. The attitude and I think some of todays generation could learn a lot from them. As usual Justin your observations and things spot on. Great video this one.. top job
"It's just rock n roll..."
@@1dorz exactly. The only way to go!
I believe it takes more talent to make such simple music and still sound great. Many of the all time classic songs are very similar.
I recently discovered this channel and I have to admit that I'm a tad bit obsessed with Justin Hawkins again, AGAIN...
Loved the shout out to Permanent Vacation, one of my favorite albums of all time!
Would love to see you do a review of that album or Toys In The Attic. If you've done so already, apologies!
Like I said, I'm new here! 😊
Give me a week and I'll have binged every.single.episode.
I hope this channel stays active forever.
Not only is each video super informative and interesting, Justin is also quite hilarious and very easy on the eyes!
🤣😍🤣
Dustin Hawkins reigns again !!! Love you dood…. Your polite attitude is well received …. Hey would you ever do segment on Pete Doherty, Or Libertine’s? Stay strong we listen daily to your show in Huntington Beach , CA🤙🏽
Oasis where the bigger band, but Graham Coxon of Blur was one of the best guitarists of that era and doing some great stuff.
you're right!
Musically they were on another level to Oasis, way more creative and versatile, Oasis just had the advantage of being able to connect with the people a lot better through their image and personality, which helped massively.
@@rockywaters9592 they wrote much better songs and it's all that counts
@@rockywaters9592 you're also correct
@@cianciaway883 that's relative! when I look at noel galleghers lyrics on paper a lot of it doesn't make sense, whereas Damon Alburn has way more depth and meaning to his content, the Universal, Strange news from another Star, Death of a party, This is a low, these are just a few songs that lyrically are way deeper than anything Noel Gallagher ever wrote. They didn't write better songs, they wrote catchier songs that captured the spirit of the time, and they're great for getting everyone to jump around pissed while having a sing song, but if I wanna chill out and really get serious listening to something more layered and nuanced then it's Blurs songs all the way.
Love the Oasis love!
First major band I got into in the 90s and I loved them instantly. Favourite song is probably Acquiesce tbf. A proper Oasis tune that really encapsulated their sound.
The sound of my youth!! I don't know ALOT about the technical side of music I just know what I like and your videos are a massive education for me. I have ASD and I now understand why I am drawn to certain song with the same beats so thank you
They’ve been my favorite band since I was 12 years old and I got to see them in 2006 when I was 16. I’d about give my left nut to see them reunite and do a world tour. Greatest fucking band of our generation.
Oasis were probably the band that drew me away from being a 100% metalhead on leaving University in 1993. In the end though the band of that era that I still play a massive amount is The Charlatans. The Oasis memory that will stay with me will be the Knebworth gig where the queues for the beer tent were so long, pints were being re-sold at a profit part way down the line...
Good shout. The Charlatans are a massively underrated band
Yeah ma man Charlie’s n Oasis’s at that time were absolutely, hands down, the greatest RnR band knocking on everyone’s 🚪
@@usandusonly32 I only have to hear the opening bars of ‘The Only One I Know’ and BANG, I’m catapulted back to the best decade of my life. The 90s were such incredible years for music from rock to electronica. Nirvana to Orbital, bloody hell but we were spoiled!
I was there as well what a time! I thought their 3rd album was pants, but stand by me always reminded me of all the young dudes. Live forever changed my life. Totally agree with you about Tony McCaroll as well.
That was great. My long dead friend was into Oasis and I still respect his opinion so I know to listen up when Oasis is around. I have many friends who swear by the Beatles but I’m not really into them, so thank you for making me see their influence in a new light.
I grew up on Cranwell Drive in Burnage which is where Oasis grew up, it was very bohemian and I can see where the influences came from. Great Video Justin ❤
I loved Oasis then and still love them now. In my opinion they didn't do any wrong. Everything was spot on. Certainly the last genuinely 'dangerous' rock n roll band
Supersonic is a brilliant song. I love how they do simple so well. And people don't understand how Tony Mcarrol is so influential on that ballasy bluesy pure rock n roll sound of the first album
I always felt the same about Acquiesce and Permanent Vacation. Aerosmith and Oasis being two of my all time favorites. Thanks for the validation.
GODDAMMIT JUSTIN I have to do homework. Stop it with your awesome videos already!
Oasis passed me by and I was never really into them. I had an epiphany whilst watching "Supersonic". I get it now.
If you want a real Oasis deep cut, look up Let's All Make Believe. It's a B-side from the Standing on the shoulders of Giants album. Probably Liam's best vocal performance in the studio
Gas panic is my favourite deep cut if that’s still considered one
Love that song, mega vocal
@Sharks An obscure song by a popular artist. So a lesser-known album track, for example.
I got the fever
@Sharks no a b-side is something different. Because a deep-cut can be off an album too
Really like the tenuis link between your Haute couture and a football managers' jacket. You're such a man of the people :)
As someone who started playing guitar in 1991 at 7 years old and always wanted to go to guitar shops then proceeded to work in guitar shops in the early 00s. Man it was so busy those were some cool times.
I totally agree about how awesome Oasis songs are to rock out to- and you don't need to be a world class player to do it. Great lyrics in a lot of cases too. I would say Rock N Roll Star, which is track 1 of their debut album is an excellent example. So fun to play, great lyrics, great vibe.
I've always loved Tonys drumming. He is like Steve Adler. When he was kicked out a lot of the 'in your face' attitude went with him. He was not as useless as they make it out to be... Whatever!!! Now that is a killer song.
Out of all the things the Gallagher brothers did I think kicking Tony out and the way they spoke about him afterwards was the worst.
Love your analysis on these and the theory behind it. Keep up the great work Justin!
Talk tonight is one of my favorites
I can't believe you did a oasis themed video, loved them all my life (about 13 years now) and I want to see Noel In Norwich around about 3 years ago now when I was 12 he was absolutely amazing I want to see him again,did you know that you're video came at perfect timing because It's Noel's 55th birthday today 🎂 I bet you already knew that also can you remember when you were on a TV show and Liam was going to be on that show and you guys wanted to know If he liked the darkness? It was probably about 15 years ago now maybe more I just wanted to know If you remembered that
What are your thoughts on Blur, Justin? I’d love to hear you breaking down some of Graham Coxon’s work. The man is a genius. Love your work, thanks for everything you do!
I was 12 and just entering that age where I was noticing music myself and not just hearing what my parents played when definitely maybe came out.
Oasis had a massive influence on me and almost all of the people my age.
Spent countless weekends in the school field with a guitar, cheap alcohol and friends.
Music around the 90's was the best.
4:45 THE best impersonation of Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) sings Oasis!!
RIP to the original rock ‘n roll Hawkins: Ronnie. Sad to hear of his death today.
I feel absolutely blessed that I found Oasis at 14/15 years old. They were the 1st real band i liked. I was brought up listening to music, mainly pop acts i liked or listening to old songs my mum liked. Oasis were MY band, and regardless what anyone says, they changed this country. Thanks to Oasis i am a very passionate music fan and have quite a varied taste (and a half tidy knowledge - i consider myself decent at popmaster!)
Seeing this video, i thought, "oh here we go, lets hear him try and slag Oasis off....the cheeky fucker!" but to my surprise, i really enjoyed it. The only criticism i have is that it was too short! I'd like to hear you do more videos like this with other bands/acts.
Bravo JH
I played drums in a college band in 94/95 and we incuded some of the tunes here. It was a great time to be playing and we (the band: Headshrinker!) felt like rock stars in our own little world. A great time for guitarists and drummers to let loose on some simple songs. Thanks for this video, Justin. I enjoy your take on the music. Joe UK.
Great vid 🙏 really respect your opinions and analysis on these tracks, especially as they were a massive part of my youth also😄
Fave band of all time, awesome vid
I loved Oasis as a teenager and looking back I think it was more to do with their Pistol-esque attitude than the songs. They still wrote some great tunes and Noel had a majestic knack for melody for a few years but as a 43 year old now I don’t find the back catalogue over-exciting tbh
I loved them for the first two albums. And “Whatever”. But the songs that were overplayed off the second album like “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” got boring quickly. Best songs on it were “Cast No Shadow” and “Some Might Say” imo. Definitely Maybe was their masterpiece for me.
After that there was an occasional good song like “Stop Crying Your Heart Out” but I couldn’t get into most of it.
I think out of the Britpop battle, Blur have left behind a far more impressive back catalogue.
Oasis first album definitely maybe was great ballsy Rock and roll after that I lost interest
I love oasis and I love you. You’re just brilliant!
Hi mate...good to see you ...i have been watching you for about 4 days non stop...i like the way you talk very constructive and focus on the importance of the matter at hand and specially you do it with respect. I like that !!
Keep on the good work .
Looking forward to the next one !! Cheers !
I was right there at the start but wasn't into them at all (I was a Radiohead fanatic in the mid 90's) but 6 years later in 2000 the song that got me into Oasis was, bizarrely, Alive, probably one of their most run of the mill songs, I immediately went through everything and have been a die hard ever since, my favourites are difficult to say as there's far too many to choose from but off the top of my head Slide Away, Headshrinker, Some Might Say and Rocking Chair
Alive is a very underrated song. The way this song builds is very captivating for me: the melodic progression towards the chorus and the guitar solo - simple but effective.
@@contrapposto8389 Still one of my favourite Oasis songs
I believe Noel has told his inspiration from the Stand By Me chromatic bit came from All The Young Dudes, by Bowie. And it makes sense. And while it's correct to say they sound like AC/DC on the rawer tracks, because Marshalls and open chords sound like that, I guess his main influence for that sort of guitar playing came from The Jam (which was kind of the Oasis of Noel's generation - I wasn't there but I believe they were massive in britain back in the early 80s, right before the Smiths came along).
nice analysis!!
I love your sense of humor and your editor does a brilliant job capturing it.
Justin Hawkins cover album!!!! That’s what we need!!!
Your voice when you sing the theme tune sounds REALLY like Freddie Mercury.
Nice to see you giving McCarroll some credit. I think he was perfect for the more punkish songs of definitely maybe, whereas Alan White was perfect for the slightly more nuanced songwriting of Morning Glory.
Imagine Wonderwall or Don't Look Back In Anger without those ghost notes and triplet rolls.
He's the brother of Steve White (Paul Weller , Style Council) who imo is one of the best drummers ever to come out of Britain. There's actually a gig or two where Alan is unwell and Steve fills in on drums for them and it's unreal.
Steve played with Oasis @ Greek Theatre 2001 during their tour with Black Crows.
It’s on UA-cam
One of my favourites is Columbia, which I very much enjoy playing as I start a long motorway journey in particular.
that turnaround at the end of the Stand by me chorus always reminded my of Mott The Hoople/Bowie's All the Young Dudes
Oasis and more specifically Noel got me to pick up a guitar in junior high school. Don't ever regret it. Saw them twice. Favorite song to play is Don't Look Back in Anger. Later Oasis has many gems like Let There Be Love, Importance of Being Idle, Layla. But always gotta rock out when Supersonic comes on.
I think oasis is a great example of “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” Watching the champagne supernova music video on mtv as a kid was like a religious experience.
Same x
Great vid, always love the observations, and the batwings!
Listened to the playlist and then came back to the video. THIS WAS AWESOME
I never got the Oasis thing.
I was more of a Supergrass fan and thought they were underrated.
Stand by me chorus always reminded me of All the young dudes. The George Harrison reference is valid, but the rhytm is more like Mott, and the tune is a Man City chant so it was also well embeded into Noel's mind.
It’s so much more similar in every way, also the lads literally sang all the young dudes while playing Whatever live and noel once claimed he stole the chord progression for DLBIA (pretty much identical to stand by me except for skipping inbetween chords and also adding in the chromatic run at the end) from All the young dudes.
One guy who worked with Noel also once said that Noel wasn’t familiar with the medley of Abbey road and admitted to him that Abbey road was the “one beatles album” he hadn’t extensively listened to so i doubt he’d know something that well. The fact that justin hawkins claimed that despite it being clearly knicked from all the young dudes is embarassing and if i were him id probs delete this video and talk to a therapist about the mistake he made
I was in high school during the rise of Oasis and I was obsessed. All their songs spoke to me, the way they dressed, the way they talked, they way they acted. Oasis was a band that mattered and they still matter. Oasis and their music taught me about life.
Great video again. Always great to get back to some oasis ❤️
he just never stops riding does he folks? Hell yeah.
Or further immersion into dad fashion.
They were the full package, great songs and larger than life characters as well, so of course they would go through the roof. But I suppose it was also obvious that you can't ride a wave that big forever, so a deep fall was inevitable sooner or later and that they made it as ar as they did is a bit of a miracle.
great songs? larger than life characters? nahhh. they’re just all around boring
@@wifekisser5559 Is that you Damon?
They were shite
@@wifekisser5559 ahh Damon. Brother. Why are you here? Any new tunes in the pipeline ? HAHAHAHAHA
@@craigbuchan The thought that Damon Albarn has anything against them now is ridiculous. Hell, he and Noel are apparently great friends.
Oasis were my first modern band that got me into music when I was quite shy about getting into then modern music... they form the basis and foundation of my musical tastes even to this day
The only guy keeping it real . Never got why oasis and others you mention on other episodes were popular .
Oasis were the reason that I wanted to play guitar as a kid, I just loved them. At the same time they also sparked in me the dream of wanting to be in a band. Years later they were the catalyst that led to me and three mates forming a band that lasted 7 years, and a further band with one of those mates that went on for another 3. Our music was completely different to that of Oasis but it just shows how far and wide a band's influence can be if they inspire people to play music. Thanks to Oasis I got to live my dream of playing in a band, travelling the country in a battered old van, sleeping on floors, getting paid nothing to do it but loving every last moment of it.
For that Oasis will always have my love.
Oasis were magnificent. What’s the story morning Glory is the greatest story ever told. I used to think it was just an album full of classic tracks but it’s so much more than that. The sequence, the songs, the interludes, the B-Sides… it’s all telling a story about Melissa Lim/San Francisco. When this comes to light (and it will very soon) it will blow people’s minds. All part of the Masterplan.
As a massive oasis fan that picked up a guitar because of noel, this was a great video, thanks Justin
Being a 90s music boy - I love the this channel especially when you break down things like Mr Brightside and here today, Oasis. Your intermittent phone message sounds have me looking at my own devices for what has made that noise until I realise I've been punk'd by Mr Hawkins again. Nice job - keep it up!
I believe those are email alerts on his MacBook.
