OASIS: Rockfield Studios (and Wonderwall on the Wonder-Wall!)

  • In Spring 1995, Oasis spent 2 weeks at Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire, Wales, where they recorded their finest moment, the (What's The Story) Morning Glory? album. Join James Hargreaves to look around both studios (Coach House & Quadrangle) & the grounds of Rockfield, retracing the steps of the band.
    Correction - the band were at Monnow Valley in 93, not 94.

    James dropping a few fbombs and stealing bog roll, truly the rock n roll life style.

    There are two channels I’m a huge fan of right now. This one & Vice Grip Garage. A lot in common. Both are lovely people, generous of spirit, take us in depth into what they do, are obviously enjoying what they’re doing & both are almost religiously respectful of their predecessors. James & Derek, you help hold up the world at a horrible time.

    Great video James! The third EP should definitely be at Rockfield, there's no reason why it shouldn't be given you've now got some experience at the place itself

    I really enjoyed and appreciated this video. so much so I'm leaving my first ever youtube comment!
    I know it's been a tough 18months for everyone, everywhere in the world but for me the last month or two have been particularly tough. I've had a lot of free time and I've spent it in my head which hasn't been an overly happy place. This video took me right out of my head for 20 minutes and back into the much better place of reliving my teenage years and enjoying the awe and wonder of experiencing where morning glory was recorded.
    I loved the video, excellent work and my sincerest thanks!

    Really enjoy your videos of late, would like to hear a background story on boneheads bank Holiday track.
    Probably my favourite one of theirs.
    Actually what am I saying, headshrinker was always my favourite, bank Holiday second.
    Or is it rock n roll star.
    I don't know what ones my all time favourite, some might say gets me emotional maybe it's that one

  • @DanielHillCoaching

    James that was utterly epic! Absolutely loving your channel and how really in-depth you are taking it. If you ever are interested in chatting about the psychology of both Noel and Liam, (and why they clash and most likely will never get together on stage again ever again) as well as even Guigsy and Bonehead, not sure about Tony, as I haven't seen too many interviews with him, then I'd be more than happy to give you my time in a free video-call. I have thought of venturing onto my channel about certain personalities. Russell Brand read me out on air 4 years ago - th-cam.com/video/uLnXqn44q5k/w-d-xo.html and I know he's mates with Noel. Could I help to reform Oasis? Well no, but it might help those two brothers understand one another. I feel for Peggy, their Mam, most of all, something very similar has gone on in my own family and it's a sadness she has to carry and she's not getting any younger. Anyway, keep up the awesome work my friend! 🎸🎤🎶

    Future video idea: What would have been the playlist for the Oasis MTV Unplugged performance if Liam hadnt bowed out with a sore throat?
    I doubt it would have been the same set of songs because a lot of songs aired were "Noel songs". Just wondering if there are any old soundcheck clips or leaked setlists from that performance before Liam bowed out. Cheers!

    Brilliant video mate. Looks like you might have enjoyed that just a little bit - you we're beaming in most of those videos! Great to see you playing Wonderwall at the top or the Wonder-Wall - I definitely think if you do go back down to do your EP then you should try to get a release quality version of it recorded and release it as a cover...
    The behind the scenes stuff was all great - they all look like a great bunch of people and it's very scenic - no wonder everyone wants to go there...

      Interesting idea about releasing Wonderwall on the Wonder-Wall as an actual single... I've no idea how releasing covers works from a record label point of view. Probably should research that

I had honestly grown tired of Wonderwall over the last few years but hearing your cover in this video has made me fall in love with it all over again, so thank you for that. Keep up with the amazing content. You're absolutely smashing it.
