I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.
Back in 1996 INXS Frontman Michael Hutchence would present Oasis with an award for their huge hit Wanderwall at the Brit Awards. But the happy occasion resulted in Oasis guitarist Noel gallagher hurling an insult at Hutchence and INXS and would result in a diss track. That’s what were going to discuss in today’s video.
At the 1995 MTV European music awards it was reported that INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and Oasis singer Liam Gallagher nearly got into a fight backstage when Hutchence threw a fire extinguisher at Liam following some disparaging remarks he made about his then lover, Paula Yates according to the book INXS: Story to Story the official autobiography. There wasn’t much follow up reporting, but a year later 1996 at the Brit Awards it seemed like it was water under the bridge at least initially. Hutchence who was an Oasis fan would present an award that night to Oasis. Oasis at the time was reeling from the success of their sophomore record what’s the story morning glory. Featuring the hit song Wonderwall the song was nominated for the best video category wand be against take that, pulp, radiohead and blur. Oasis would win the award but as Oasis left the stage noel gallagher hurled an insult at hutchence saying
, “Has-beens should not be presenting awards to gonna-be’s.” Pretty rough. It was during the time of the Brit awardds that INXS who had started writing what would be their final album 1997’s Elegantly Wasted. The band had come off an extended hiatus after their last album 1993’ Full Moon Dirty Hearts was a commercial disappointment due to lukewarm responses from critics and changing musical tastes.
Hutchence would tell the album network magazine in 1997 “We really wanted to get off the old carousel for a while,” “As a band, we have recorded an album every 12 to 18 months over the last five or six years. This helped to create a situation resulting in a lot of personal and business friction within the band, as well as the record label. … So, it just seemed like the logical time to take a break.”
It was sometime after the brit awards that hutchence was in dublin, ireland and was at a bar with bono of u2 when liam gallagher supposedly walked in and got into a verbal altercation with hutchence. Bono kept the peace, butHutchence was so infuriated with the event that he headed back into the studio and added a background vocal to the title track elegantly wasted that said “i’m better than oasis.’ HEres an interview with hutchence asking about the song.
Hutchence would take his own life in november of 1997 and to those close to him Noel’s remark was said to have humiliated him.
Noel Gallagher seemed to would discuss the incident in 2000, three years after hutchence death telling uncut magazine…. The second night of The Brits [1996]. We didn't know Michael Hutchence was going to present us with an award. It was the first award of the night and there'd been words said before the ceremony in the papers. So when he come out to present the award, we went, 'Right, these cs [Brits organisers] have stitched us up here, because they know what's going on.' So we decided that, every time we hit that stage, we were just going to give it to everyone, and we f***ing duly did…It wasn't scripted or anything like that. We probably wouldn't have done anything if Michael Hutchence hadn't come out and said his little bit: 'I heard Liam wants to fight me.' We were like, 'Don't f***ing try and pick a fight with us, man, because we're the best at giving verbal abuse,' and off we went.
WHile the band’d last album with hutchence wasn’t as commercially successful as their earlier works the title track would peak at number 2 on the alternative charts in America. - Hudba
INXS was an awesome, fun band. I miss them.
You are correct, and i share your sentiments about them. "Kick" will always be high on my list of favorite albums.
Saw them on their "dirty honeymoon" tour, and again when they toured for Elegantly Wasted. Great shows, and I miss them too.
OASIS was an awesome, fun band. I miss them.
Oasis sucks
@@djkcd Oasis was horse shit.
INXS will always and forever be a class act of a band.
Great to see the love for INXS in the comments. They're still so highly revered and fondly remembered here in Australia.
they're fondly remembered here in the UK too, at least by those who have a brain cell.
One of the best bands ever .. easily.
I bet they are. You have them, Crowded House and Iggy Azalea.
@Sub if you are against antifa and BLM 😄 nice one.
@Sub if you are against antifa and BLM There's plenty of legendary Aussie rock acts that are little known overseas. Worth delving into.
Inxs! Amazing group! Hutchence was extremely talented! It's a shame and a tragedy how things ended. R.i.p. .ichael the world lost a hell of a guy!
I love Oasis big time……But Michael Hutchens seemed genuinely nice. Sad the way his life ended.
Michael had class, shame he had to deal with that bs. RIP ❤️🌄🌹
He was banging the wife of someone connected to oasis at the time, yeah real classy.
My first concert ever was INXS on the Kick tour. Totally amazing. PiL opened up. Oasis were wankers.
I saw that show! 11th row center in Philly! That KICK concert shirt lased a long time.
Yep Oasis wanked to get awards they didn't deserve. Vapid NeverWas Gallaghers. Damn right Hutch was is and Always will be better than Oasis. Gallagher infants can't sing a note 2 save their lives.
I love Inxs and Michael Hutchence. Inxs music is fun and funky. Makes me want to dance.
Michael Hutchence was only telling the truth. 😋. I'm a proud Australian and a proud INXS Fan. Which obviously includes Michael Hutchence.
I saw 'em twice in their prime, Kick and X tours. Loved them back to Listen Like Thieves. Just a great band I can listen to so often (but I don't, I need to get some in my ears soon!!)
RIP Michael
I am a huge INXS fan .. HUGE ! .. never heard of Oasis .. seriously.
Then you dont have a clue about one of the last true punk Rock n Roll bands. Listen to Columbia. Rockin Chair or Slide away and tell me this band aren't better than Inxs.
Shout out to that interviewer- she won a contest, excellent job.
Elegantly Wasted (the song) is as good as anything else they ever did. Maybe even better. It's a great song!
You must be kidding. I’m a big INXS fan and this is about the worst song they’ve ever done.
It was kind of sad that INXS was one of the best 80s band that couldn’t carry that over into the 90s.
“Gonna-bes” Does anyone know what happened to Oasis after Wonderwall?
huge inxs fan. elegantly wasted was a fantastic album.
Agree 👌💯👍
Thanks for another interesting and informative video
Damn, Hutchence was _smashed_ in that interview
INXS is really awesome and Michael was a sweet man. I like Oasis, but the Gallaghers are awfull people.
Well-stated.
He was fooling around with the wife of someone in Oasis's friends circle of course they were going to say something.
Really? You met them?
😂 This is a joke right?
They were two silly manc scallies! I always call them that cos my mum did! Mum hated them but I loved them back then!
I'm a huge fan of both bands (and I find the Gallagher brothers pretty hilarious) yet, mainstream popularity is pretty fragile for musicians. So be careful about who is 'has been' and who is 'going to be' - because the tide will (and quite arguably has) turn! : )
Muy creativo 😃 sacaba hits desde sus experiencias, increíble Michael
INXS una de las mayores bandas de todos los tiempos y MH sin lugar a dudas uno de los mejores frontman ever ✌🏽
I always loved Elegantly Wasted and a few other songs off the CD and first saw that much music interview and yell out during the chorus Better Than Oasis, those lyrics are so much better
Too my knowledge, the bands have sold almost identical numbers of albums globally. But oddly I only have fond memories for INXS. Despite Oasis being popular during the era I was most active in music, I just couldn’t get past what bastards they were (are).
Liam is ok for a mouthy manc scallie. Noel gets on my nerves now.
INXS is amazing. Oasis is Wish Beatles for girls who save half smoked cigarettes.
As more time goes on the more I realize how insignificant Oasis is 😂
Esatto 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I think that this is more deep than just what's mentioned in this video. I am sure that there was some beef in the run up to the Brit Awards. Look into the hutchence/patsy kensit situation, which may probs pissed off liam.. think there was a lot of back and forth from that and then rumours of Michael wanting to fight liam, hence why liam says "I heard Michael's gonna give my a slap around the face so come on!"
Fuck Oasis, Don’t Look Back in Anger is the only songs of theirs I can get into. Meanwhile INXS I love almost every song of theirs I’ve heard.
I always stop and enjoy INXS... I change the radio or keep walking or never start humming or dancing with Oasis. I have to be really high to get into Oasis. Just saying.
Hutch will Always be waaaay better than Oasis. I love that elegantly wasted song even more now👍❤
LOVE Michael H and crew. Miss them a lot. I've got one of their CD's stuck in my car stereo for about a year now --- literally can't get it out! I can't stand the arrogant posers that are the Gallagher
bro's. Each to our own I guess. My two cents worth..
I had to scroll back because I thought it said the INXS and Oasis fund lol.
Now that would've been news 😂
INXS was a great band and Michael Hutchence was a good humble guy, just like his buddy Bono.
Oasis was a “hardly was’. Like an above commenter said “Beatles cover bands don’t last long”
100% agree with what you've said, Oasis was nothing but a Beatles wanna be band.
Wait... Bono was humble? 🤔
ummmm pretty sure Oasis songs are presently played worldwide and well known in countries that don't have English as their first language. Noel and Liam may have acted like wankers at times, but their music was on another level, and the songwriting has more than stood the test of time.
@@ZemarRed not so sure about that one
@@ZemarRed i gotta respectfully disagree with you on that one
You need to do one on "The Tragic Story of Toy Matinee and Kevin Gilbert". Toy Matinee only made one album then disbanded. However, it was a highly regarded album that was extremely loved and respected by major musicians. Vocalist/Songwriter Kevin Gilbert had a bunch of projects before and after including a solo career. Sheryl Crow was his girlfriend and played keyboards live for him before she became famous. He unfortunately accidently killed himself via "Autoerotic Asphyxiation", the same way Michael Hutchence of INXS died.
I remember INXS being pretty huge in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Idk anyone that liked Oasis. I remember MTV trying to hype them up, but I don’t recall anyone I knew personally thinking they were any good.
You haven't visited UK or Japan
@@manvithharikiran5576 no. I haven’t. That doesn’t mean much to me. Couple years ago noel’s band opened for smashing pumpkins here in the states and nobody cared about the show. I don’t pay attention to what countries bands may be popular.
In the U.K. everyone loved them… all the mancs and the scousers! Lol
Never liked INXS for years until I watched their Live concerts, changed my opinion
Aaaaaaaaaah per fortuna hai cambiato ideaaaaaa!!!!!! Oasis fanno cagareeeeee
inxs are the last real rock stars to come from Australia Michael was very smart lyrisus
Legend from a legend band that are truly unique (like every legend band). You will never here other bands influences in inxs. Heaps better than oasis!!
Suicide Blonde is awesome!
Where is this interview from? Much Music? The interviewer looks so familiar.
INXS was awesome still listen to their music today. INXS was better than oasis
The Bloc Party/Oasis feud would be an interesting video
I've heard that the track "Don't Lose Your Head" was "inspired by" this incident. Don't know if that's true or not.
Ya know I coulda sworn that I had heard somewhere That Noel was talking about Pete Townshend not Michael Hutchence. Although, it makes sense that he was talking to Michael since they were all on stage together.
Michael seemed so sad in his latter years relative to the joy her personified when he was younger. I really think the publicity machine and rock and roll business ground his morale down. Beautiful soul who left us too soon.
Was watching a video about this feud just yesterday and how some people think this feud had something to do with Michael Hutchence death.
People who hate on Oasis have probably only heard Wonderwall. If you haven't you should take a listen to their first record "definitely maybe". It changed my view on the band and it might change yours too.
Yeah. Wonderwall was shit, but they did have some good songs.
Here’s a good punk rock feud: Fat Mike of NOFX vs Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill/Le Tigre. It resulted in trading diss tracks. Both are no stranger to feuds, KH having feuded with Courtney Love and Mike with Ben Weasel of screeching Weasel ;who would be a fascinating subject for a video IMO).
I wasn't aware of the fat mike/Kathleen Hanna fued, but I did know about the Ben Weasel one. I think another good video idea would be when Weasel smacked that girl in the face in the 2000s. That definitely got some pots stirring lol
@@williamz7011 yeah, Ben would make a good video IMO. Like, he went to a reform school for high school. Troubled kid. Then he found punk and thought “well this is a good place for outsiders like me”, but basically found out it was another cool kid hierarchy, with guys like fat Mike at the top. That’s his songs “cool kids” and “ follow your leaders “. Obviously, it was terrible that he hit some women, but the other hand one of them was pelting him with ice cubes. Leftists like fat Mike will say that women should be treated equal to men, Mike himself has kicked male fans in the head from his behavior. Ben reacts a similar way to someone who happens to be female, and he’s kicked out of the cool kid club which he never really belonged to. He’d be a great video, but he might be too far outside the mainstream for this channel? Rock ‘n’ roll true stories has had some good punk stories before though. A final thought is that it’s ironic that Mike’s feud with Kathleen Hanna was because she felt Mike was a misogynist or sexist (which was his claim against Ben Weasel). Check the NOFX song “kill your Rockstars” and the Le Tigre song “Deceptacon” for more info about that.
Most of these numpty's wouldn't have a clue about Fat Mike etc as INXS were more commercial and yes I agree those diss tracks are way more interesting than hearing the same old bs about Oasis...
I grew up in Australia and INXS were a huge band especially in the 80s and early 90s. I have so many memories come back when I listen to them. They sounded original unlike Oasis who stole the majority of their sound from the Beatles. What Noel said was piss weak. Not many bands have non stop success in their careers and that came true for Oasis too. They were too arrogant for their own good.
Great Band with a truly great front man in Michael Hutchence.
Michael use too buy dope from a mate back in Sydney days
Someones mad haha
Obviously a blur fan
I liked both Oasis and Inxs, Inxs was definitely better then Oasis.
I enjoyed INXS. Hutchence had an outstanding singing voice, and they had some entertaining songs. Oasis bored me to tears. I didn't find them interesting at all and couldn't stand to hear their songs.
oasis is like Russell Crow fighting there way around the world
Funny that Noel is now the has-been.
Noel was a has-been five minutes after Be Here Now dropped
Really? He still sells out arenas around the world and has a very successful solo career. Hardly a ‘has -been’.
Jealous much, cretin?
@@hankhardigan1104 still better than you
@@TheMusicalElitist Noel, calm down...lol!
@@leahrachael5814 That your attempt at a comeback, has-been?
Noel Gallagher's comments were insanely cool. That is exactly the kind of thing I'd say if I were on stage, with a washed-up, bore like Hutchence.
I was surprised that Noel was a bastard for slagging on Michael.
Michael was banging one of his friend's wife at the time it's a personal feud not a musical one.
Don’t like Noel. Don’t mind Liam but he’s a tit sometimes.
Oasis feuded with everyone... Including Oasis.
They are still fighting ,Noel and Liam. Still not speaking to each other!
@@desertrose1226 They like fighting more than money
' He's out of line, but he's right.'
Great band's
LMAO.
Who wasn't Oasis having a go with in the 90s?
it was over the gonna be wife of Liam having a picture of her that looked like she had her hand down Michael's trousers,
INXS was a stellar band with many memorable hits still played to this day. They were a very tight band live and many bands couldn't touch them on a performance level. Michael seemed like the love child of Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger, one of the last true rock stars. Oasis had a few good songs but became has-beens themselves fairly quickly... isn't it ironic?
I didn't know Michael was even at the awards .
ok, so how many of us heard "...resulted in one of Oasis' members" and immediately just said "Liam"
Loved INXS and Michael. The other band not so much.
el problema de Michael Hutchence fue cuando un taxista lo golpeo y el pego la cabeza contra el pavimento causandole una fractura en el craneo y conmocion, a partir de ahi comenzaron sus problemas, lo de Noel fue algo insignificante, del show bussines.
Liam Gallagher lo saludo bien, sin problemas, el que hizo el comentario fue Noel, pero no fue para tanto, no exageren por favor.
You ought to do one on the Elton John/Keith Richards feud.
Never knew Elt fell out with Richards! I know he fell out with George Michael..
@@desertrose1226 Yeah it was back when Elton remade "Candle in the Wind" for the Princess Di tribute. In the press, Richards said something like "Elton John should stop writing songs about dead blondes."
Elton fired back something like "Keith Richards is a guitar playing bafoon who the Rolling Stones should've gotten rid of years ago."
I enjoy both respectively but sometimes these celebrity feuds are pretty hilarious.
No one remembers Oasis but INXS will always be remembered
"No one remembers Oasis". Oasis has 15 million monthly listeners on Spotify while INXS only has 7 million. Liam Gallagher is selling out two nights at Knebworth. Both great bands but common Oasis are more popular nowadays.
Lies
I love INXS and some of their songs were among the first I learned on guitar. That said while the lead singer of Oasis seems like a dick, I’m not familiar enough to weigh in on them. Even their hits elude me. I know I’ve heard them.
This whole thing centers around Michael Hutchence and the Gallagher brothers. I don’t know what the other members of each band thought. But as an INXS fan, I think Andrew Farriss is an overlooked songwriter if ever there was one.
Huge, huge INXS fan from the early 80s. After watching several documentaries about Michael and the band I contend that Michael was suffering from a Traumatic Brain Injury from the taxi cab incident which ultimately led to his suicide. Lost a ton of respect for Noel Gallagher of Oasis over this incident.
You can’t compare art or vs. I’m all about the underdog , but Liam is blue collar af !
At least we remember Hutchence. No one remembers Gallager
Always felt that if Michael hadn’t of met, Paula Yates, he would’ve lived, and I still believe the same thing about Kurt Cobain. If he hadn’t of met Courtney love he’d still be here.
Did Noel and Liam's trash talking ever net them a legitimate brawl?
Yeah!! Liam had his teeth punched out after a fight back in the late 90s!
Ironically I like Oasis but what Noel did was classless. It boils down to the old adage that if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. Noel should have been grateful before an audience for the band's recognition and success.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug. I see that sort of nonsense very easily coming from Liam, even today but it was terribly done by Noel then and he has expressed regret. He was out of sorts on the powder and lager.
That old adage is stupid.
Kinda surprised it was noel who did that. I guess he was still cool with his idiot brothet liam
When the prat Hutchence was fooling around with someone in your friend's circles wife ( oasis collaborator Paul weller is friends with Bob geldof). Of course he was going to say something, banging someone elses wife id say michael was the classless one.
It had to do with Michael talking about them too much beforehand. Noel also said they made up years later.
Everybody knows that Liam has an overblown ego, but I had no idea that Noel was like that...
Although Oasis has some pretty big hits that will never be forgotten, they're really only a big deal in Europe, and their catalogue of work is a collection of mostly mediocre songs, with only a few timeless hits, so I don't really understand the level of arrogance and entitlement coming from them... There are much bigger, more acclaimed artists who don't act as self-important as Liam- and apparently Noel- Gallagher. I'd be embarrassed if I were them
Noel has a bigger ego than Liam. If it was up to Liam, Oasis would still be together. Noel can’t accept that Liam’s charisma and delivery contributed massively to their success, or that Liam is an Icon and he really isn’t
I remember a person from England once telling me all you need from Oasis' catalogue is their first two albums.
@@cris_261 No you didn’t.
@@twenty3electronics Noel wrote the majority of the band's songs hence when Liam had a dummy spit the band would continue touring and he would sing instead which happened on more than one occasion when the brothers came to blows, Noel wasn't fazed.....
who's the guy he kissed? they seemed friends at first
Bono and Liam Gallagher kissed 😁
I liked Oasis, but I loved INXS! But I would be careful what you say because one day it could be said of you. I used to make fun of "old" people, now I'm one of them lol.
Oasis are one hit wonders. If it wasn’t for the brothers drama no one would even remember who they were .
Huh?
Way way way more than one hit buddy
@@Scoobyjew42069 Hootie and the blowfish had more hits.
Really? How are they ‘one hit wonders’?
They’ve got quite a few…
Not one hit wonders, but I still don't like them. Blur was so much better, but sadly in America they are a one hit wonder with just Song 2.
🥺😔😪
He clearly sang "I'm better than oasis" in that live clip lol
Michael was a very soft and weak man. Middle class background, versus some tough talking northerners. I think he did take to heart, the saveragy of the comments made. That was his personality, particularly in his last few years. A great talent. Sad.
That destroyed him, but michael was dealing with a huge depression since his accident in 1992 and a legal conflict with bob geldof
Yes. The fight with grldof. You just think why? But Yates had some unknown appeal to him
I’ll say it this way both before my time more inxs than oasis but I hear more and listen to way more inxs than any oasis songs ever I like both oasis could’ve been the Beatles of the 90’s but I think inxs has way more/better songs.
Anyone who says Oasis stole from The Beatles is so idiotic. Oasis just look like The Beatles and Liam's voice is similar to John Lennon. But their actual music is much more similar to The Stone Roses, The Smiths & The Verve. It's much louder. I don't get what so many people in this comment section are on about.
People are idiots that just repeat what they hear.
Oasis ended up never were not has beens.. garbage
God I hate bono 😂
Best comment 🏆
at 5:06 i thought Noel and Hutchinson were kissing
Oasis had one song, inxs had 6 albums
As an Oasis (and INXS) fan, I’d say your characterization is at the very least a little uncharitable. Oasis was to the 90s UK music scene essentially what Nirvana was to the 90s American music scene. And this is reflected in Rolling Stone magazine’s most recent edition of their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2020, where Oasis’ first two albums are in the top half of the list. The only other bands with two albums released in the 90s on the list are Nirvana, Radiohead and the Chili Peppers. That’s pretty significant even if you don’t respect Rolling Stone which is always able to create the most comprehensive all-time greatest lists with the number of voters related to the industry for which they’re compiling these lists
@@kreemothedreamoif no suede album is in that top 500 then it’s bs
And I forgot to mention that besides Oasis, Nirvana, Radiohead and the Chili Peppers, the American lo-fi band Pavement is the only other band with at least two albums released in the 90s on Rolling Stone’s most recent edition of their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2020
There can’t be a sane person on the planet who has ever thought that Oasis is anywhere close to the level of talent of INXS. Oasis at best was a flash in the pan and INXS will always be considered legendary.
Конечно, Майкл! Ты в 1000 раз лучше,чем этот грёбаный оазис!
I've always maintained that if I ever got direct access to Liam or Noel Gallagher I'd level them, lights out. Spent fifteen years in LA and 3 in London. Hasn't happened yet, but that stands today. And don't worry - been boxing for 26 years. I know how to throw hands.
@MARQUIS de QUEENSBURY 5.0 Course he has 🤣🤣🤣
INXS were certainly 'better than Oasis'. They were a band i always liked, but didn't really explore until around 1992-1993. Brilliant band.
It would be remiss of me not to direct you people to James Hargreaves Guitar who covers this story and everything Oasis in more detail.
As I stated in the comments for m.czcams.com/video/DdFLO9GvepY/video.html
The irony of this clip for me is that Noel is my favorite songwriter/musician of all time, and Hutch is my favorite vocalist/performer of all time, as Oasis and INXS are my two favorite bands of all time. As disrespectful as Noel’s comment was, this episode had everything to do with Michael’s relationship with Paula Yates and their scandalous portrayal in the sleazy British media at the time. As Bob Geldof referred to him, Michael was seen as a ‘neo junkie philanderer’, famous for being famous, rather than the gifted performer and sharp lyricist he actually was. In the end, at least Hutch was able to fire back in the backing vocals of Elegantly Wasted: 🎶 I’m better than Oasis 🎵 😂
INXS was the first band I ever saw live, opening for Adam Ant. They became one of my favorite bands and Michael Hutchence had an iconic voice. Oasis was a Wanna-Beatles band but did have some good songs. After all, they were influenced by legends. But, no class at all.
I thought his cover of THE PASSENGER was great, from the BATMAN FOREVER soundtrack.
Oasis are true artists. They paint their walls with cheap lager.
"I'm better than Oasis". Have a listen, it's there.
My last name is Gallagher and I actively distance myself from those Oasis Gallaghers.
Oasis were a fantastic Beatles tribute band.
inxs were like aural water.
In the Uk at least growing up as a teenager INXS were long forgotten by 1996. Hutchence was only famous by then for his affair with Paula Yates so Noel’s comments kind of ran true. Oasis love them or hate them were the biggest thing of 1996 in the uk everything that the Gallagher brothers did was front page news. And that summer they played to 250,000 people over 2 nights at knebworth. And the album that scooped those Brit award in 1996 sold 345000 copies in its first week of release spent 10 weeks at number 1 and has sold over 22 million copies world wide
They were popular for a short time compared to INXS. Noel was a has been the moment he made that comment. That made him lose all credibility, because that is what a piss poor, rage fueld comment like that does.
@@vancrow9806 but at that time in 1996 they were huge and INXS were forgotten about. Last big album was 5 years before
