    • @Sam_BTT
      @Sam_BTT Před rokem +3

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

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.

    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

    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 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.

In the end though the band of that era that I still play a massive amount is The Charlatans.

    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.

      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.
