In this excerpt from Gibson TV’s Icons with Noel Gallagher of Oasis and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Noel reflects on the third Oasis studio album, “Be Here Now” and the tour of America after their Knebworth gigs nearly ruined the band. Listen as he shares stories from the “Be Here Now,” recording sessions, how they were kicked out of Abbey Road Studios in London, and how he really feels about one of Oasis’s most successful albums.
Released on August 21, 1997, “Be Here Now” was the follow-up album to “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” and went on to sell millions of copies worldwide. But Noel isn’t a fan of the record. Watch as Noel reveals how he feels the band entered the studio too soon after their massive success with “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” Noel talks about the challenges of recording songs that he felt weren’t initially strong enough to make it onto the first two Oasis records and how some of the seven-plus minute songs affected the live shows. He reflects on the pressure of following up their first two iconic albums and how different “Be Here Now” was compared to “Definitely Maybe” and “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?”
Even though he doesn’t like the album as a record, Britpop was in full swing, and Noel fondly recalls the chaotic yet enjoyable period that followed, talking about the band’s experiences on the road and the fact they were still a band having fun. This interview offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in Oasis’s history and Noel’s personal journey as a songwriter, learning lessons from recording what is arguably one of the most successful albums in UK music history.

A documentary of that era will be THE ultimate biblical r'n'r thing to put out on video
That album was really good .
Hope I think I know is soooo underrated should do it live
don't go away is amazing as well
love how honest he is about his work
Be here now was their first concept album.the concept was they did cocaine.
I can't like your comment enough
Nailed it🤜🏻
@@WDSCRNRAD it's a classic Oasis meme.
The Be Here Now tour was Oasis at their highs live. Lucky enough to see their Den Bosch show in The Netherlands, biblical!
Got in the line and bought the album the day it came out. Also saw them on tour in late 1997. Personally I love the record. It might be not as good as the first two, but it's pure madness.
Still Be Here Now is a phenomenal album & sounds great played loud🔥
God I hope they release a Be Here Now album+tour documentary, probably 2027
He puts that album down too much
As someone who has played guitar and drums for over 50 years, I think this album is excellent. It may not live up to the first two opuses which are absolutely perfect (and complementary) but it is largely underestimated.
But I still love the cacophony that is “D’you Know What I Mean?” …the build up to that guitar being turned loose after it was doing its own thing for the first part, it’s still a 10/10 song
The main issue for me it's the length. There's just one song that i can accept being 7 minutes long, and that's Fade in out, the rest should be at max 5 minutes long, including All around the world which lasts 9 (!!!) minutes and has a reprise right after. What were they thinking!?
I don't think the album is bad, it's their 3rd best, but i never listened to it from beginning to end. Never had the patience to do that.
Finally someone praising Fade in Out
EXACTLY
My take on be here now: the best 6 songs on it are biblical (DYKWIM, My Big Mouth, Dont Go Away, Stand By Me, Fade In Out and I Hope I think I know, plus b sides like stay young) and had the potential to be the best Oasis record. The issue songs wise was there was no wonderwall, or DLBIA equivalent and recordings wise it was not what it should have been. Still a class album (9/10) but only a 13/10 would have met expectations after MG
That album was still inmense
Best album..... Best tour
I seen them on the be here now tour and it was brilliant the gigs were brilliant!! Long songs of be here now but still brilliant gigs
At least the album gave us Gmex 97
DYKWIM remains one of my favourite Oasis songs and I much prefer the original version to Noels rethink
Be Here Now was just over produced. Songs were ok but they were too long and it was just too messy.
Respectfully disagree, Be Here Now is a masterpiece. Just tough to follow Morning Glory, but BHN goes hard af front to back
Who are you? Just a fan.
He's the man.
Whatever. For me, Be Here Now is on equal footing with Morning Glory and Definitely Maybe. Some days its my favorite Oasis album. Its amazing and i fuckin love it, even if they dont.
Noel as usual too harsh on BHN. Fans would love to hear some of those songs live in 2025
Its an OK record at best. Fun to talk about in hindsight! heres what i would done... #1) Shave 1 to 2 minutes off of every song lol. Noel says this in other interviews also. Songs are way too long. #2) Re-arrange the song order, imagine BHN opening with "My Big Mouth" and that massive intro, instead of the whole helicopter thing and slow paced Know What I Mean (which is the same chords as Wonderwall!) that song to #2. #3) Delete Magic Pie all together and move Dont Go Away to #3. ..Magic Pie could have been replaced with a "b-side" cut from The Masterplan
*which is the same chords as Wonderwall!*
So? Lou Reed and Dylan made a career of reinterpreting their own songs and often reused chord progressions from their previous stuff. The talent comes from making the two songs sound different.
@@deadseagull-xf3lk I like the song and I agree with ya! But perhaps not as the first single right after the album with one of the most famous songs in history lol … I remember BHN release day in the US radio jockeys in my city made a big deal about it , the song fell off quite fast in America anyway
The Masterplan should've been their 3rd album. I even think Noel said this.
I don't get this. Fade In Out and All Around The World were immense live
Be Here Now - my favourite Oasis album - no question => masterpiece 👍🎶
All my people right here right now
Know what I mean.
You can confirm as you watch the photos that Noel is the only main player (apart of the drummer and Liam). Bonehead and Guigsy were just live players.
well ofc
It's a brilliant album
yes and no, it has great iconic Oasis songs, Stand By Me, Around The World, Don't Go Away, D'You Know, Fade In Out, I think he essentially got bullied by the public into hating it - that being said it could've precisely just had way less songs, they were indeed outrageously long, and the third album should've definitely been The Masterplan
Ah, bulls**t. It's a great f'in album. Got it in late '97 when I was 22, still have it - don't want no remaster or messing with it. Fine as is.
I know they won't, but on the Oasis tour be great to get a song from council bins in there, I'd love that 🤔👍
No es tan bueno como los primeros, pero Stand by Me y Don’t Go Away son buenísimas
Cocaine + Beatles references = Be Here Now
Have to say.....the Chief is wrong here. The reason people didn't react the same to BHW songs the same is that they hadn't heard them before. It is the same at any gig when a band tours and plays new songs. Nobody is really that interested. They want to hear the song they know and pre-loved. Play those songs now and the roof will be off! BHW is a classic stellar album and I love every single second of it. Magic Pie? Love it! The dual guitar solo is a work of musical art!! It's got a poor title..... big deal.......
❄️❄️❄️
great to see him not bitching about and ripping into his brother every 5 minutes, makes a change.
Bloody hell Noel. To. blimey loud.
It was all pretty mediocre, actually. They were 'The Monkees' of the mid/late 90s.
My generations Paul McCartney.
Be here now is gash.
Be here now is one of their weakest albums.
Actually preferred standing on the shoulder of giants.
Great album, don’t care what he says 😂
Be Here Now is fantastic and a lot better than the Oasis albums that followed it. Noel's solo material has been fantastic, why he couldn’t write all those great solo songs for the albums after Be Here Now with Oasis is disappointing.
Not better than The Masterplan (I really liked Don't Believe the Truth album as well, I would say its on par with BHN)
@raoulduke344 Masterplan was all previously released b-sides.
@BeGoodBe It was released as an album regardless and charted (still far better tha BHN).
They should have released the BHN sings as B-Sides and kept The Masterplan ones for the 3rd album.
@raoulduke344 As a compilation album of previously released b-sides. I had all the singles though, so for the fans at the time, it was nothing special. Be Here Now had a much bigger impact than Noel wants to admit for whatever reason. It had 2 number 1 singles, another that went to number 2. For whatever reason they stopped releasing singles when there were clearly other hits to be released.
Pfft! Who does this bloke trhink he is?
Still ripping off the Beatles. In this case George Harrison.
who knew it could be so easy, just rip off the beatles and you end up selling millions of records and having a successful career spanning 3 decades, why didn't I think of that? 🤔
And yet he's the one in the expensive Gibson video talking about his career and the worst album he made that still sold 8 million copies and you're on here slagging him with your guitar probably covered in dust leaning up against a wall in your room.
Tell us then - how has he ripped off the Beatles? Name 5 songs that are Beatles rip offs
hurr durr beatles rip off hurr durr
2:23 Epiphone Supernova!
Great spot
