Oasis were def the biggest and most successful British guitar band since the Beatles, not just 90's. No rock band were ever on the front pages of the papers for so long as them, who broke all the records going including fastest selling debut album, fastest selling album EVER, biggest audience ever for a concert, 8 number 1 singles in the UK, number 1 records all over the world from Canada to Israel, to Japan to Australia, screaming fans at airports, huge influence on youth culture, mad tabloid frenzies.... i could go on
They were never big in the USA. Even the Gallagher brothers admitted to that, I think Liam said "people over there are weird" referring to the musical taste is the U.S in the 90s. Beatles were the first boy band and it worked for them everywhere, they even got guys to like songs like Love me do, respect is due there. Beatles dominated the 60s thanks to having various brilliant songwriters, good marketing from Brian Epstein and being first to the market. Oasis came around the downturn of Rock.
Totally agree with you , oasis are the best band of the last 40 yrs , influenced by many great bands since the 60s I come from the same part of the country and background as them , they were a sad are still the band of the people. Bands like this live forever But better in so many ways.
@@daviddennen7479 Although their second and third albums charted number 4 and 2 in the US and Wonderwall was a top 10 hit. The Gallagher brothers featured on Celebrity Death Match so they had some success in the 90s. Music journalists put there failure to make it even bigger down to there infamous Whisky-A-Go-Go gig and there inability to finish a tour due to band infighting. If it was all down to timing and music tastes changing then other bands such as Green Day and The Foo Fighters wouldn't be well known in the US either.
@@daviddennen7479 1. The Beatles weren't a boy band are you 12? 2 Neither where Oasis. 3. Played all the own instruments no choreographed dancing. Also Oasis are big in some parts of US & they could a cracked US. They fucked about to much( to many drugs) also they wasn't that bothered about yous & Britain's always had the best bands since the 60s TBF some great US/UK supergroups.
The verve were always better.... Oasis really just isn't that good... Songwriting or otherwise The verve however were amazing... Got into them when nobody heard of them... Then they came out with bittersweet love song.... Huge hit.. Funny story my wife at the time always thought it was an oasis song... I bought the CD for her and wrote Oasis on the front of it... She got a big laugh out of that.
I’ve been saying this for about 30 years! Here in the UK (& Ireland) they were literally the new Beatles, still to this day to many people in this part of the world they are bigger than The Beatles, Liam is selling out Knebworth on his own without Noel 🤟🇬🇧🎸🎵
They sold 10 million records in the US. Morning Glory peaked at #4, Be Here Now at #2 & Dig Out Your Soul at #5 on The Billboard 200. First 3 albums went Platinum too. Definitely a decent enough impact.
Oasis sold a shit load of records in the US. And if they had have played the game more (sucked more corporate dick) then they probably would have sold 10 times as much over there. Liam & Noel were absolute wild cards in the 90s, the US public just wouldn’t get it. Their loss 🤷🏻♂️
@@emmetlynch14I love Oasis and I’m from the US but your comment is kind of lame. It wasn’t about bowing to corporations…it’s the simple fact that from Be Here Now onward their albums declined in quality.
I hate this bullshit notion (mainly from the British press sadly) thag they didn't crack America when they cracked it open wide and what people don't realize is Morning Glory has sold more than any Coldplay album, yet Coldplay are apparently so successful in the States. I think Oasis have sold over 5 million copies in the US alone, and another 7 million copies ontop of this of their back catalogue. Some disaster that is 😂
@@darrenthomas7402 I'm American and Oasis is a non-entity in the US. They did not crack America "open wide." After the hype proved to be just hype, they couldn't give their records away here. Their music isn't played on American radio and they aren't discussed by anyone. The Brits pathetically keep trying to hype this mediocre guitar band as some second coming of the Beatles but they don't even come close. All of their songs are just a tuneless wall of guitar strumming over nasally, whiny singing.
I hate how here in the USA we didn't keep up with the Britpop scene commercially aside from Oasis first few albums, Radiohead, and technically Coldplay. And even then Oasis weren't as massive as they should have been like in the UK. Their music was perfect anthemic and triumphant for the mainstream and yet they got pigeonholed as an Alternative Rock hit band instead. We totally deserved a major "Second British Invasion" as someone else said here in the comments. Instead we got Nu Metal which was hit or miss and then Post-Grunge and Pop Punk which was mostly trash aside from some bands.
Definitely Maybe is the GOAT and Masterplan is the most epic B-sides album ever put together. I'm not sure an Oasis reunion would be the same, but I hope they can make up as brothers at least. Life's too short to hate. Don't look back in anger boys.
Definitely not a reunion Liam's peak voice has changed & gone not his fault a real illness caused it. But I'd go just because especially if it was knebworth 2026 30 yrs after I went on my 22nd birthday we'll 4 days before but who's counting.
@hotrodones74 Totally agree I prefer a lot of the b sides especially to some tracks that got released. Bring it on down was supposed to be there debut track. But you know the early problems they had with DM so Noel wrote supersonic in a back room allegedly in 10 mins.
Oasis for me are the greatest band, they took 2 things, and made it into 1 excellent sound, they took passion for music, and a working class life, and made it into definitely maybe, if you don’t understand the lyrics, then it wasn’t written for you, the music to me is as relatable as it gets for the reason that it’s from the working class people of England to the working class people England

One thing this video didn't mention about the difference between Oasis in the 90s and 2000s that James Hargreaves said was that Noel started allowing the other members a bigger say in things like songwriting etc.
I had a mate who was big into music. He got me into Pulp and James long before they were famous - something I will always thank him for. So he got 2 tickets for Oasis at The Royal Court in Liverpool (this was December 95). I still remember Liam coming on stage - a strobe light was flashing behind him, making his movements look really cool. He leaned up to the microphone, and drawled "Come on Scousers - every one of you outside now!" I instantly liked him. I still found it strange when all of band left the stage so that Noel could play a few tracks alone. It did take the energy out of the show. Thankfully the band came back on and finished strong.
@@patrickbrianbarrett Mid to late 80s. Same as Pulp. Liverpool has a vibrant music scene - I watched so many groups/singers perform, that many of their names are lost to time.
@@Krysiss not only that, japan has always greeted alternative music with open arms, bands like Ride and Cocteau Twins had shows that sold out there in minutes and maybe even a stadium there as well, unlike in america.
The first song I heard was D'ya Know What I Mean from Be Here Now. I live in America, and at the time it was playing on all the alternative rock radio stations and on MTV constantly. I thought the video was cool and loved the song. I think I was 13 years old. Be Here Now was one of my first CD purchases. Anyway I just happened upon this video, and didn't know a lot of the history. I'm listening to the song right now and feeling a lot of nostalgia! I don't think I've heard this in many many years. Anyway, enjoyed your video!
I’m American and Oasis is one of my all time favorite bands. My friends love Oasis and if Noel and Liam ever unite I’ll mortgage my house to fly anywhere to see them.
Good job, bro. I'm 48 so lived through it all and it was when I heard the 4th album I realised they weren't the same band anymore, but those first 3 albums and the B-sides are some of the best songs ever written. I have an emotional attachment to DM and the B-sides because they remind me of my sons mum but if I had to pick my favourite Oasis album it would be BHN. From 95-97 they were as big as The Beatles.... Not to be confused with *better* 🙏🏻
its funny Oasis was one of those bands in America you were expected to outwardly hate, but most people secretly loved. If it was on the radio an you were in your car alone... you would turn it up to 11.
Owen Morris credited a lot of managing to capture their live sound in the mix to, also 'brickwalling,' a technique used to make the record come on the jukebox loud as f@¢k, but also to "turning Noel down in the mix, & turning Bonehead up." And I gotta agree. The definitive live sound of Oasis - strictly for me, of course - is Earl's Court '95... And Bonehead can be heard, loud & proud, in the mix... With Guigsy even being turned up a bit.
the b-sides .....in the 90's noel referenced The Jam a lot and how strong there singles and b-sides where - they also called Blur an album band ....for the first 2 albums noel wanted to put great b-sides out
definitely maybe is also my favorite oasis album! i discovered it when i was 14 via tumblr and it introduced me to rock music, so it holds a special place in my heart. my favorite song by them is "listen up" though. i can't believe how it didn't make it in the album, it's so good!
If I remeber correctly it was "Some Might Say" that was released on 24th of April 1995, and "Roll With It" with "Country House" on 18th of August 1995?
While I will admit the first two Oasis albums were great, they dropped off badly after that and comparing them to the Beatles is a joke, I thought that back in the 90's when tabloids started doing so and I think it now
I would like you to write about one of our Greatest British Rock and Pop Acts; XTC. Also I think OMD ( Orchestral Movenuveres in the Dark) and James could do with a spotlight video made about them as well.
the Sister lovers gig where they meet MgGee ........Oasis didnt threaten the door staff to get into the gig - Sister lovers had to give up half of there set time so Oasis could play for 20 mins
Personally, I’m actually glad Oasis ended and I can’t really care less if it comes back or not. I personally really vibe with High Flying Birds (Chasing Yesterday is genuinely one of my favourite albums ever made). I feel like Noel as a songwriter really branched out more after Oasis ended and it really shows (to my ears at least ).
I don't see them getting back together. The personalities are too strong, and they're both doing so well without each other. Noel has proven he doesn't need Liam, and Liam has proven he doesn't need Noel. Liam still seems like he would welcome a reunion, Noel doesn't seem interested at all. Whatever, the music lives on.
Great video man even if you took two shots at America haha. Definitely maybe is one of my favorite albums of all time. We don’t all have shit taste over here.
They obviously love The Beatles but when they started the Sex Pistols, Stone Roses, Slade and Bowie were huge influences. Listen to Fade Away. Its Punk Rock all the way.
You are right though here in America, we just didn't care.... They are not the Beatles.. The Beatles were more than ticket sales... Or album sales And to be honest, their songs just do not compare.... Never did They were just some kind of Pop hype
@@startracker5895 The Beatles were popular more places then just the UK. Oasis is basically a UK band. They didn't strike it across the pond. Over here they are essentially a one hit wonder.
@@jeffk.9075 To be fair, they were also massive in Japan and Latin America. The US not getting them is more of the exception here. In my opinion, their disrespect for the media and corporate music business was something that felt inspiring in the UK, as they have working-class pride there. Meanwhile, the entertainment industry is such a powerful authority in the US that even regular people considered the Gallaghers' attitude rude, even though all they did was not take media etiquette seriously.
@@dlovas that's a fair way to look at it. I'm just one of those random guys that didn't get why everyone fell over backwards for Wonderwall. It's a good song but come on.
@@jeffk.9075 I totally see your point. I'm fan, and even I think that what they represented culturally is a far more important element of their success than their music. Oasis made the working class feel like that it’s suddenly cool to dress, talk and behave like them. The songs were tasteful and catchy, but there’s nothing innovate or interesting about them apart from they’re performed by the lads down the corner.
I really dont care if they reunite or not. I am not the least interested in seeing old versions of bands uniting and playing. It never does it for me. The energy and the vitality is gone
They could have become the "b sides" of the Beatles, carrying the spirit forward, but at some point they lost themselves in fame and drugs and the hype flame was extinguished too quickly
Like most music groups, i think how they got signed is part mythical and part false. Im sure Johnny Marr tipped off Alan Mcghee, or one of his associates, to have a look at the band when they were performing in Scotland. The story is apparently Alan McGhee used to date one of the girls in the band they shared the bill with. But if tour ex boyfriend was a music executive wouldn't the girls at least mentioned it to Oasis and let them know they have industry contacts? I just find it hard to believe it was a completely random occurence. Im sure Johnny Marr had a bigger role in them being signed than people realise.
I think the beatle of the 90s should be radiohead, i mean apart from their 1st album, the second(the bends) and the third(ok computer) are a hugh step up from their music production
definitely not, when you ask people about the beatles, they know them, and know at least one of their songs, thats anyone, if you ask people about radiohead they'll go "oh that virgin music?" and this is coming from a fan of radiohead
@@sonminh7262 yes, we are going to ignore creep, creep is not at all an accurate representation of the band and you know it, one popular song does not make you "the beatles of the 90s"

I agree that Radiohead's experimental and innovative attitude resonates much more with the Beatles. That being said, describing Oasis as trying to sound like the Beatles was just lazy 90s journalism. On which Beatles album would Columbia, Supersonic, Bring It On Down, or even Slide Away fit in? Most guitar bands were just as influenced by the Beatles as Oasis, and many of them, including Blur, sounded far more like a Lennon-McCartney rip off.

the b-sides .....in the 90's noel referenced The Jam a lot and how strong there singles and b-sides where - they also called Blur an album band ....for the first 2 albums noel wanted to put great b-sides out
definitely maybe is also my favorite oasis album! i discovered it when i was 14 via tumblr and it introduced me to rock music, so it holds a special place in my heart. my favorite song by them is "listen up" though. i can't believe how it didn't make it in the album, it's so good!
Listen Up is sooo good
Amazing video and the midi versions of the songs are amazing as well
thank you thank you
If I remeber correctly it was "Some Might Say" that was released on 24th of April 1995, and "Roll With It" with "Country House" on 18th of August 1995?
Noel did say that A Guy Called Gerald at the Hacienda did influence him quite a bit
Amazing Vid. you should make a video about Depeche Mode, another legendary british band.
i love them, i will probably talk about them in the future too
An absolutely amazing video man. super underrated
Has love this Oasis fan since 93 hi from South England 😎😎🤘😎😎😎
hey man loved your blur and sopranos vid, you should do arctic monkeys at least talking about their early days before the album AM
It's definitely on the list, them and The Libertines too
18:42 LMAO 🤣 Great video!
Thank you Beatles Bible 🙏🙏🙏
awesome video, keep it up
thankss
80 million watched the beatles us tv debut,250 thousand people came to see them arrive in sydney....different level of fame completly
yea
While I will admit the first two Oasis albums were great, they dropped off badly after that and comparing them to the Beatles is a joke, I thought that back in the 90's when tabloids started doing so and I think it now
I like your snark. Subscribed!
thank you!!
I would like you to write about one of our Greatest British Rock and Pop Acts; XTC.
Also I think OMD ( Orchestral Movenuveres in the Dark) and James could do with a spotlight video made about them as well.
I'll look into them
Sorry for the spelling mistake.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.
the Sister lovers gig where they meet MgGee ........Oasis didnt threaten the door staff to get into the gig - Sister lovers had to give up half of there set time so Oasis could play for 20 mins
Personally, I’m actually glad Oasis ended and I can’t really care less if it comes back or not. I personally really vibe with High Flying Birds (Chasing Yesterday is genuinely one of my favourite albums ever made). I feel like Noel as a songwriter really branched out more after Oasis ended and it really shows (to my ears at least ).
You should do a documentary on The Red Hot Chilli Peppers.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi, great video, what was the gig at the end with Liam sitting down while Noel sings the outro from Slideaway ?
iTunes Festival 2009
when I was young I thought the song, Songbird- by oasis was a beatles song by John Lennon.
close enough
maybe a video about ‘those boys from Sheffield’? (lol)🙏
yesss
Great video mate 👍
Thanks 💪
0:23 You could even say, faster than a cannonball, eh? eh??
Good work!
I don't see them getting back together. The personalities are too strong, and they're both doing so well without each other. Noel has proven he doesn't need Liam, and Liam has proven he doesn't need Noel. Liam still seems like he would welcome a reunion, Noel doesn't seem interested at all. Whatever, the music lives on.
me neither tbh, or even if they do get back together they will never be as as they were in the 90s
Noel would let himself be a feast for maggots before sharing a stage with Liam again. They simply need to go back to being brothers.
Liam lennon and noel mccartney
the us has the best taste of music though, also they weren’t the next beatles lol, love the video.
they maybe weren't the next beatles but the us definitely does not have the best taste in music
26:43 you can see Noel’s soul leave him as he realises Liam has just fucked up the show and the live album being recorded that show
Which episode of Matt Morgan podcast Noel said that he was gay? Bcs that pure fucking gold lmaooo
If you're planning to go and see them in 2025 you better start getting some overtime in. 😉
Great video man even if you took two shots at America haha. Definitely maybe is one of my favorite albums of all time. We don’t all have shit taste over here.
lmao thanks man
Could you do a vid on inspiral carpets or carter usm please?
'' Did your favorite bands have the peak of their careers before you were even born?''
Erm, NO ?
lol old man
You called this 4 months prior to the announcement of a Oasis reunion on Aug 27th. Biblical.
he just changed the title and thumbnail lol
nooo shhhh, im a genius
Krysis...how about some Ned's, Carter USM, and Dodgy?
I don't know who they are but I can look into them
@@Krysiss Right on. Keep up the good work.
To be honest, they sound nothing like the beatles.
They obviously love The Beatles but when they started the Sex Pistols, Stone Roses, Slade and Bowie were huge influences. Listen to Fade Away. Its Punk Rock all the way.
Yea I the punk influences are really obvious on Definitely Maybe but they got caught up on the whole Britpop thing
Oasis is my favourite band ever
Liam got his front teeth ko by an Italian dude in the Bayerischer Hof in Munich.
You are right though here in America, we just didn't care....
They are not the Beatles.. The Beatles were more than ticket sales... Or album sales
And to be honest, their songs just do not compare.... Never did
They were just some kind of Pop hype
Who cares what America thinks of OUR music. America isn’t the centre of the universe you know! 🤦🙄
@@startracker5895 The Beatles were popular more places then just the UK. Oasis is basically a UK band. They didn't strike it across the pond. Over here they are essentially a one hit wonder.
@@jeffk.9075 To be fair, they were also massive in Japan and Latin America. The US not getting them is more of the exception here. In my opinion, their disrespect for the media and corporate music business was something that felt inspiring in the UK, as they have working-class pride there. Meanwhile, the entertainment industry is such a powerful authority in the US that even regular people considered the Gallaghers' attitude rude, even though all they did was not take media etiquette seriously.
@@dlovas that's a fair way to look at it. I'm just one of those random guys that didn't get why everyone fell over backwards for Wonderwall. It's a good song but come on.
@@jeffk.9075 I totally see your point. I'm fan, and even I think that what they represented culturally is a far more important element of their success than their music. Oasis made the working class feel like that it’s suddenly cool to dress, talk and behave like them. The songs were tasteful and catchy, but there’s nothing innovate or interesting about them apart from they’re performed by the lads down the corner.
americans gotta learn to separate art from the artist, even if you dont like the gallangher brothers, you've gotta admit they were pretty good man
called it
i did fr
I really dont care if they reunite or not. I am not the least interested in seeing old versions of bands uniting and playing. It never does it for me. The energy and the vitality is gone
yea honestly, there's no way they'll be as good as they were in the 90s but at least they'd be getting that bag ig
Still waiting for the stone roses video...
ive started writing the script bcz i was inspired but i need to learn more about their history
They could have become the "b sides" of the Beatles, carrying the spirit forward, but at some point they lost themselves in fame and drugs and the hype flame was extinguished too quickly
Personally…….. Blur was better.
DOYS is loved
They were a Beatles tribute act, and also robbed T-Rex (Stand by Me).
Like most music groups, i think how they got signed is part mythical and part false. Im sure Johnny Marr tipped off Alan Mcghee, or one of his associates, to have a look at the band when they were performing in Scotland. The story is apparently Alan McGhee used to date one of the girls in the band they shared the bill with. But if tour ex boyfriend was a music executive wouldn't the girls at least mentioned it to Oasis and let them know they have industry contacts? I just find it hard to believe it was a completely random occurence. Im sure Johnny Marr had a bigger role in them being signed than people realise.
Maybe but that's the story the band tells and I can't really go back in time to prove them wrong lol
everyone says oasis is overrated but they arent. ye defintely maybes way better than morning glory
they're amazing
Birdy Birdy Numb Numbs
Noel looks younger off drugs @25;15.
the camera takes off 10 years
The US had a lot of great bands at that point. Second British invasion picked a bad time
It was August 1995, not April - the Battle of the Britpop Bands
I think the beatle of the 90s should be radiohead, i mean apart from their 1st album, the second(the bends) and the third(ok computer) are a hugh step up from their music production
definitely not, when you ask people about the beatles, they know them, and know at least one of their songs, thats anyone, if you ask people about radiohead they'll go "oh that virgin music?" and this is coming from a fan of radiohead
@@Snippyyy so we gonna ignore creep( yeah i know it is their most popular song but not their best song during the 90s)
@@sonminh7262 yes, we are going to ignore creep, creep is not at all an accurate representation of the band and you know it, one popular song does not make you "the beatles of the 90s"
@@Snippyyy Dude, im trying to justify your point "and know at least one of their songs" , ofc creep is not their best representation of the band is about, but if we follow this point then creep is their most know song. btw, just listen to OKC and the bends to see why i meant the beatles of the 90s
@@sonminh7262 ive listened to both these albums many times, and while i understand what you are saying, i still just dont think i could call radiohead the beatles of the 90s, but i respect your opinion
And Then Comes Green Day, The Beatles Of The 2000s (Atleast That's What I Think They Is), But Got Their Downfall And Rise And Downfall And Rise Again After Their Stupid Trilogy Album & Father Of All
Blur's better anyway
boy do I have a video for you
'The Beatles of the Nineties"? Dream on . . . . .
How about doing one on Peter Hook versus New Order? All the bickering, Hooks statements to the British press, his autibiography and the legal messes.
That actually sounds interesting, how can I look more into that?
@@Krysiss I'd check out Peter Hook's book 'Substance- Inside New Order ' and 'Chapter And Verse- New Order, Joy Division And Me' by Benard Sumner. Both are very good books.
@@michaelwilson2340 Alright, thank you
Talk ab bloc party, I feel like it's fitting since they were the band that announced oasis's disbandment
Oasis#1
Mitcheltheowl - the song's by oasis were brilliant Noel's lyriccism is outstanding and a fantastic contribution to British 🇬🇧 music
So he's not macka or Lennon but he's noel and does things his way can't knock him, he's a success story, what have you done to contribute to the 🇬🇧 music scene, exactly nothing at all, just tone it down n stop hating 🇬🇧 👍.
Disrespectful towards the Beatles. Oasis has 1 known song, that’s why jay z made fun of em
I always thought oasis was a rip off of The Beatles. Like, they were trying to be like them. Radio head deserves the Beatles title in my opinion.
I agree that Radiohead's experimental and innovative attitude resonates much more with the Beatles. That being said, describing Oasis as trying to sound like the Beatles was just lazy 90s journalism. On which Beatles album would Columbia, Supersonic, Bring It On Down, or even Slide Away fit in? Most guitar bands were just as influenced by the Beatles as Oasis, and many of them, including Blur, sounded far more like a Lennon-McCartney rip off.
Krysis, how are u doing.
Do you think Oasis were greater than Nirvana in the 90's?
I don't want to sound like a politician but I hate comparing bands lmao, they were both great
Different genres. Different worlds.
Nirvana were definitely far more original in their songwriting, though … if that means anything to you.
@@kierenmoore3236 I am the alt generation and grew up in the UK
There can be a GREAT overlap
@@aotctd You have nothing to do with how music genres are defined. Cute of you to think so, tho’.
