Imagine hearing this for the first time. It's actually a fucking sensational song for a new band to play. Very memorable (ironically named). Usually bands that aren't cover bands start out pretty shite....they hit the ground running with this one
It's crazy how they managed to sound almost exactly the same on records and live ! That's what made them great ! Recording and souding loud EVERYTIME you heard them !
@@NicolasGirls this is a half truth. The reason oasis sound like they do was due to Mark Coyle doing live sound engineering and Owen Morris being given definitely maybe to mix and done something odd to get it louder. They’re are plenty of versions of definitely maybe with shit mixes
When oasis was still a band , noel writing the songs and effective melodic lead lines, Liam with has his amazing Voice full of attitude, bonehead pumping out his heartbeat of a rhythm guitar, guigs playing the simple but effective root and Tony playing his punk raw solid drum beat.
The more I see bonehead playing the more I realise it's him I hear when I think of Oasis's sound.Noel wrote them,Liam delivered them..but my god Bonehead's playing is the heartbeat of those performances.
I love Bonehead but literally all he is doing is playing barre chords. Any half decent guitar player could have done what he did in Oasis. I realise that’s his job as rhythm guitarist but people act as if he’s some kind of musical genius for creating a “wall of sound”.
The band lost most of the punk edge that they had on Definitely Maybe when they fired Tony. You can still hear it a little on Some Might Say, which was the last thing they released before Tony was fired. Alan was certainly more technically sound, but Tony provided an edge that Alan didn’t. The rawness of Definitely Maybe is one of the reasons why it’s my favorite Oasis album (and the songs are pretty great as well).
If only the crowd knew they were witnessing the biggest, best, most important band to ever grace the planet in the years that followed!!! Mind blowing man. LIVE FOREVER (and yourselves of course)
If we take a positive look at it we see that we got to hear different shades of liams voice he sounded different in each of their album which never happens with any other singer
The black Les Paul that Noel is playing is one that Johnny Marr leant him from his The Queen is Dead tour back from his days in The Smiths, if you look at the Manchester Boardwalk rehearsals aswell, the Les Paul he plays there was Pete Townshends and he gave it to Marr who gave it to Noel after he smashed his over the head of someone at a gig :)
Yeah, top boy bonehead. Unsung hero. Steady Eddie all the way letting Noel develop and repeat those signature hooks. Looking to do very similar things right now in my own band!
Really excellent live footage of bonehead shredding through the tune, I underestimated his contribution He's laying down those cords nicely ripping on that epiphone
This tune always suited Liams vocal range - I mean they all sounded good on th erecords, he managed to strecth it up there and it sounded great. But live, this one would probably still sound great today.
@MrCeej9999 that's funny because James Blunt has sold about 15 million albums wold wide and Whats the Story? has sold 19 million alone. Also Coldplay has sold about 50 million in total, which is 20 million behind Oasis' 70 million +. Also you should never teach math.
James blunt should never be mentioned in the same breath as Oasis nor should fuckin Coldplay ffs. Coldplay gd yes, but Oasis were the last true RocknRoll band. They re on a dif level The real shit rt there
You got to remember that today physical media is not bought as it was, because of internet, Spotify, etc. People in general don't buy albums anymore. I don't think it is fair to compare popularity or anything based on # of albums sold. Now I see you commented 8 years ago, but still, it was another time from the 90s.
@@disco7379 I hate when people regurgitate this. if you like definitely maybe you like tony mccaroll as a drummer, it cant be understated how much of that sound came from Tony.
What's amazing is that, believe it or not, there were hardly any rock bands to be seen at the time, and they were playing guitar bands while saying “Beatles God”! What I personally love is that what Liam is doing hasn't changed at all!
Lolwut? Nirvana had only just ended with Kurt’s suicide. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Green Day, Stone Temple Pilots, Rush, Aerosmith, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Alice in Chains. Rock was king at this time.
@@kngsgym Bush, Manic Street Preachers, Stone Roses, Radiohead were definitely rock at the time although harder to pigeon hole as rock later on. Suede. Supergrass. Primal Scream. Depends how you define rock but bands in general were everywhere
Fucking hell Bonehead had hair! And a criminally underrated member of the band. None of them were the best at what they did, but together it was magical....with the exception of Noel's songwritting, he probably IS the best at that
Nirvana, Green Day, and Oasis, dominated the 90's music, and they were 90's bands. Funny how both green day, and oasis, were never the same since the turn of the century. These 3 bands had enormous energy in the 90's. The 90's was the last great music decade. Nothing new has come since, and todays music, was heavily formed in the 90's, and today people just steal from those times mainly.
The Don nah because the charts today are full of absolute garbage. You can’t just sit and wait for good music to come to you , some of the best bands are those of a less popular calibre. Popularity doesn’t display the greatness of a song when songs like dance monkey are still on the radio
Bonehead's heavy guitar sound is what makes early Oasis live so great. It's shame how his guitar started to get turned down on live gigs towards 97-98. I saw them in 98 in Brazil and Noel's guitar was way too loud compared to Bonehead's.
Liam singing like an angel, McCarroll grooves, Boneheand and Guiggs concentrating on playing like their lives depended on it! I personally don’t think Oasis ever got any better than this!
@@mydayis5 the reunion could of been exciting with this lineup even with liam nowhere near his best but theyve just snnounced Andy Bell , gem are back.... Thank god I didn't waste money on tickets... There's actually a tribute band doing the rounds now who sound as close to oasis In 94-97 as you will find.... £30 a ticket, singer sings every note, guitarist plays every part just like Noel, I generally laugh at tribute bands but these lads are impressive.... "Live forever, the rise of oasis "
This is fade away I’m 99.9% it’s a song featured on ‘ the masterplan ‘, a b-side album meant too show the other side of a rock and roll band, includes classics like acquiesce and stay young
Saw them at Whitley Bay ice rink.Always thought they rushed through songs too quickly.Always thought it was nerves but I recall they did the same at Knebworth.Playing songs far too quickly.Might just be me.
Imagine hearing this for the first time. It's actually a fucking sensational song for a new band to play. Very memorable (ironically named). Usually bands that aren't cover bands start out pretty shite....they hit the ground running with this one
Very good point
totally, they were fucking good
Noel written a bazillion songs already by the time they did this
they played some covers tho
Don't worry, they were real shite before this, listen to Noel's 1989 demos, or some of their demos from 91'.
Now THAT'S rythm guitar!!
boneheads utter wall of beautiful noise!!
This could be a historic video because midway through the tune the hand comes off the mic, never to return again
slideawae is that a fact? :) excellent
unfortunately it did return again on their appearance on the word
john wedgbury Nope he didnt. This was in August 1994, their tv debut was in March 1994
Nah - look for second night at Earls Court 95 when singing Hello. Hand comes back!
now look argentina 2018 or 19 liam did it again
It's crazy how they managed to sound almost exactly the same on records and live ! That's what made them great ! Recording and souding loud EVERYTIME you heard them !
That is because Definitely Maybe was a live studio recording by the band, the albums after where recorded in a more traditional way.

Yeah I'm glad they evolved.
The more I see bonehead playing the more I realise it's him I hear when I think of Oasis's sound.Noel wrote them,Liam delivered them..but my god Bonehead's playing is the heartbeat of those performances.
Yeah he gave the first 3 albums that wall of sound energy with no gaps
Never forget that Oasis wouldn't exist without Guigsy!
I love Bonehead but literally all he is doing is playing barre chords. Any half decent guitar player could have done what he did in Oasis. I realise that’s his job as rhythm guitarist but people act as if he’s some kind of musical genius for creating a “wall of sound”.
@@MrAdster11 yeah he's definitely no musical genius, but he's good at what he does and you can't deny it sounds mega
@@MrAdster11 Dude Listen to Tony on drums all he is doing is keeping a 2 beats, its all he knows, all of Oasis early songs have such poor drumming.
Great rhythm. A lot of bands seem to forget how important that is.

You can still hear it a little on Some Might Say, which was the last thing they released before Tony was fired. Alan was certainly more technically sound, but Tony provided an edge that Alan didn’t.

Trevor Zarnstorff most definitely, I love the sound tony brought.
@@trevorzarnstorff5882 Tony was self taught, that is why his sound was so raw.
It's called swing, not rhythm
Groove?
Assuming the lack of energy from the crowd is because they were utterly stunned by becoming part of history and watching legends before their eyes!
If only the crowd knew they were witnessing the biggest, best, most important band to ever grace the planet in the years that followed!!! Mind blowing man. LIVE FOREVER (and yourselves of course)
Oasis, F1 and a good spliff 😎 The 90's. That was the peak of humanity 🤩
a festival in holland in 94 got a 16 min version of it somewhere on my harddrive
Please lmk when u find it
@@NitroCrypt th-cam.com/video/RXH5diNy3Po/w-d-xo.html found it for you mate
Fsoaps already releaseed it @@NitroCrypt
After that, Oasis became one of the most succesful bands in the world ever...
really? you don't say...
I wish Liam's voice could have stayed like this at least a bit longer
Yer was a shame, not a trained singer i surpose, either that or it was because all of calumbia he snorted.
make it so, number one I think he has a condition with his voice or somin
make it so, number one definitely coke and carelessness to take care of his vocal chords
If we take a positive look at it we see that we got to hear different shades of liams voice he sounded different in each of their album which never happens with any other singer
Riley Gillard yes he does. He has Hashimoto’s disease.
That aint no small venue!! Well for oasis it is but not other bands!!
Live forever!
he sounds amazing here
You can hear the star quality emerging here and Liam’s fresh voice was fantastic 👌
This is in Holland 28/04/94.
I saw em earlier that year at The Leadmill and at Rock City earlier in August 94….15/08/94 I think it was
Lucky you!
Saw em too at the Leadmill...paid on the door too 👍
this is top, the lad waving his massive early-90s style fringe around at 2:22 is ace!

Oasis were fucking amazing Liams voice is electric.
This is the band I liked.
Part of what made Liam so great was just how effortless it was for him
This is just too good, way too good
OMFG HIS HOLDING THE MIC 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
he’s holding the mic...that’s a rare sighting!
@jmuz96 It was recorded at the lowlands festival,Biddighuizen,Holland 28/8/94...In a tent..Nearly all the first album is here(you tube)..
tony mac is the man.
For that period, yes.
this is history!!!!!
There's really no need for Bonehead to strum that fast fuckin hell
Adam Andrews it added to the live early sound....he did slow down eventually.
There was every need for it. He was driving that energy that helped make them the band they were (among other things of course!)
Dan RL haha everyone says stuff like this and I do agree but fucking hell look at his hand go
Yeah, top boy bonehead. Unsung hero. Steady Eddie all the way letting Noel develop and repeat those signature hooks. Looking to do very similar things right now in my own band!
it's cause he's only playing down strokes
this fuckin video is definitely historic!
For me this is Punk Rock Oasis. You can hear Steve Jones influence on this song. One of Noel's favourite ever guitarists and for good reason.
Bonehead centre stage. PLAY THOSE BARR CHORDS MAN!!
But dont forget that open D/sus4 thingey :D
Really excellent live footage of bonehead shredding through the tune, I underestimated his contribution He's laying down those cords nicely ripping on that epiphone
Tony on drums! the best
If this is early, where’s the star tambourine?
One of my Oasis's favorite songs!
This tune always suited Liams vocal range - I mean they all sounded good on th erecords, he managed to strecth it up there and it sounded great. But live, this one would probably still sound great today.
It did, 2024 London o2😁
Liam looks incredibly similar to one of his sons in this video. I mean one of his sons look like this young Liam so much 🤩
he looks pretty spot on like his son Gene i think

Ducking history mate
People definitely did, they shocked everyone
1. Fade Away
2. Columbia
3. Bring it on down

Foooooking amazing.
faaaantasy was real. Now l know much about the way l feel… my fav oasis old days track
early oasis first class when Liam was one of the best front men in the world
Special stuff - love it!
just fantastic everything about it
It’s a bit like seeing that 1962 film of the Beatles at the cavern club ! Even at this early stage you can see the potential for Oasis is massive!
I love play guitar to oasis beautiful chords
Fucking inspirational
Heavily influenced by the band The Real People. Great song and raw performance. Love it👍🏻.
Always thought this should’ve been the second song on Definitely Maybe
@MyAccount4Trolling lol Bonehead is a legend
Amazing band amazing song OASIS4EVA
tony mac on those drums!
right, I just saw him \o/
Rhythm allways sounds so much heavier when boneheads on its so fukin cool
live at the lowlands 1994
Were is he lowlands ?
in the Netherlands, it's a festival.. there is more footage of this video online with more songs
Oasis stopped being oasis when bonehead left
I’m a massive oasis fan but that’s how I feel
See liam last year in Aberdeen, when he did oasis songs bone head played rhythm , it was epic he filled the sound out.
Mad for it

"Nothing new has come since." Woah, woah, what about dubstep? Such a great moment in earth's musical legacy.
There’s been so much good music the last two decades I think you’re just not finding it
MARINES. If it was good you wouldn’t have to ‘find’ it people would hear it
The Don nah because the charts today are full of absolute garbage. You can’t just sit and wait for good music to come to you , some of the best bands are those of a less popular calibre. Popularity doesn’t display the greatness of a song when songs like dance monkey are still on the radio
Arctic monkeys and the strokes are some of the best from this millennium
I don’t think my dreams have faded, I just dream them with a bad back now
Music of my genaration

Our Beatles were born this day
Never seen this
Nice one 👍
✌❤🏴🇬🇧
Gd in cheers uploaded person :)
I'd hardly call this a small venue, look like a fezzy tent. I saw them at a small venue in 93 with about 20 people there in Liverpool.
Why do you say that?
I seen them in Lucifer's Mill Dundee early 94 in front of about 70 people
what a fucking great song !!!
Helllllzzzzz ya!!!!

Not at all. There were earlier gigs with this pose without touching the mic

fucking...ouch! nearly blew my head off
Will bonehead and guigsy and mccarrol renuite on their 2025 gigs I wonder

Yay Rock n Roll 🤤🤤
