Actually is a very good cover, you play it on a higher tone for a great female singer and you add your touch to the guitar, what ruins the video is the faces yo make while playing the song. should I quit playing guitar in front of anybody until I'm able to play a Jhon Mayer style solo of a song nobody knows in the audience?
Nice cover, man. Here's a link to how Noel began performing it himself after the Oasis split. th-cam.com/video/vbJta_DTGZg/w-d-xo.html. I wish this was the version that ended up on What's the Story...
Guitarists: Wonderwall/Smoke on the Water Bassists: Seven Nation Army Drums: Rock and Roll II(Hey Song) Piano: Heart and Soul Saxophone: Carless Whisper
A number of guitarists I know dislike Wonderwall not because it is a terrible song by any means, but rather because some douchebag in a party would often use it to try impressing the girls around him with the acoustic guitar, and most of the time the tune ends up being played really poorly (sloppy strums, badly fingered chords, wrong chord progression, etc). Those who actually take the time to learn the instrument would find it extremely annoying and hence end up despising the tune after having many of such experiences, that is all. Personally, I do not see anything wrong with Wonderwall. It is a very nice acoustic tune IMO, but just like any song in the world, it should be learned properly before being attempted live.
Timliu92 that douchebag was me on Saturday 😂😂 dont hate tho i was too drunk to play much else, but i played a few lesser know indie songs to make up for it
Robert Payne There is a place for songs like Wonderwall, you know? Not every song out there has to be deep lyrically. Just because it is not thoughtful does not necessarily make it mediocre :)
Jacob H Lol do not get me wrong - I am not against people playing it live! I said a number of guitarists, and I am not one of those people (granted, I do not play the guitar as often nowadays). If you think Wonderwall is a great jam live, by any means go for it ;) I am still learning too anyway
Walt Bonczek That's why rock is dying...Stupid TH-cam channels making fun of stuff like smoke on the water and stairway to heaven...Wouldn't it be better to start making bands and songs instead of immature jokes?That TH-cam-guitar culture is such a joke...Get a guitar people and start bands we need to bring rock n roll back
I was in a car with someone a few years ago and 'Smoke on the Water' came on the radio, she was just about the change the channel until I started talking her through the lyrics and explained what the whole song was about and I completely changed her mind about the song. Prior to that, she only heard people constantly playing the riff... badly, but it's a really clever, autobiographical song underneath that simple but iconic riff.
The reason guitarists hate Wonderwall is because it's the go to song for that one douchey guy at a party or gathering with the guitar who's got everybody so impressed. But we know how simple that song is and we're not fooled. It's a cheap trick.
martyn spooner actually you owe royalties to the owners of that intellectual property you inlawfully used. the moment you use it to make money you are breaching copyright law. but something tells me you dont actually feel as indebted to that song as you claim so virtuously to
I said I owe the song a debt of gratitude do I have a guilt trip about the multi millionaire Gallagher brothers, your feeling is right I have not lost too many nights sleep over it.
I'm more a iron maiden or rolling stones type myself but if i was ever told to pick an oasis song to play then it would be supersonic. That's always a fun one to play.
Amazing how Dont look back in anger and Champagne supernova sound like the superior songs yet its nowhere as famous. Wonderwall is just a dreadful drone compared to the chorus of those two.
"Before we get started, I want to clarify that I'll be playing in E standard, this is a guitar, this is occurring on the planet Earth, and the universal gravitational constant is 6.67408 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2."
Old guy here. I just listened to Wonderwall for the first time. I'm sure I've heard it an ignored it. It does sound simple. But It has an interesting strumming rhythm, and timing for chord changes.
Not only did you fail tell us you were doing it in E Standard, you also failed to mention that you would use Standard Modern English to talk to us. Additionally you did not mention that we should be using our fingers to play the guitar instead of our toes. I swear, Internet Trolls are the Douchebags of the 21st Century.

That was a great point you made about the art of simplifying music. I also subscribe to the ideology that music is a fundamental form of communication, like poetry or painting. Being in my thirties I remember all too well the cultural nnslaught that was Oasis in the mid-90s and I think the long-term trajectory will ultimately be favorable for that particular band. I noticed another commenter made the point that it was a particular type of individual in the late 90s who had a basic understanding of guitar that would use a song like 'Wonderwall' to impress. I definitely was witness to that exact scenario more than once! Now back on the topic of simplistic music, my absolute favorite artist bar none is Bob Dylan. Obviously his lyrical ability is debatably unmatched in modern music and maybe even modern poetry entirely. But I've always felt that as far as a musician Dylan has always been underappreciated. When you listen to the lyrical masterpiece that is "it's alright Ma (I'm only bleeding)", it's easy to overlook the genius that his subtle guitar part is. th-cam.com/video/mYajHZ4QUVM/w-d-xo.html You and Stitch have awesome channels, as a fellow Sarasota(ian?) it's refreshing to know there are people with good taste in music in this mostly gray haired town!
It sounds like Wonderwall is this generation's Stairway to Heaven. Like Pachelbel's Canon in D, Stairway had a very musically pleasing chord progression. This made it a hit among true music lovers, while it is simple enough to be within reach of people with an unsophisticated music background, or none at all (such as fans of rap). So it was a huge hit. Meanwhile, it was one of the easiest songs to play on the planet. It was therefore not unusual for music stores to post a sign at the entrance FORBIDDING the playing Stairway to Heaven. It was played to death. If Led Zeppelin had received a royalty check for EVERY time ANYONE played that song, Bill Gates would be working for them right now. As a result, that great song is accursed. It won't be until my generation is long dead and buried before anyone dare to resurrect that song.
Comment two years old but idc, don’t disrespect rap music as much of it is actually “sophisticated” music such as the likes of kendrick lamar (won a pulitzer prize and has 3 of the highest rated albums of ANY GENRE) and it is currently becoming the most popular genre of music. Thanks bud 👍🏽
@@TMoneyGaming much of it is actually "sophisticated"? Do you want to rethink that sentence? Further, the fact that it is becoming the most popular genre certainly does not make it sophisticated. The list is endless a popular songs which became popular, not because they were sophisticated but because they were far from sophisticated. Jazz and classical are sophisticated, and that is exactly why they are not popular among the masses. Sweet Home Alabama, Smoke on the Water,... Just two of the countless multitude of songs which we're very popular because they had a very SIMPLE musical hook phrase. It was something people could hum. Ultimately, I could care less what music other people prefer. I don't care if they like rap. I will close by saying however, that it is the sophisticated fans of rap, unfamiliar with the concept of other people, who impose their music on the rest of the world by cranking up their dam stereo so loud. Not so much the heathens who listen to Jazz and classical.
I've been a guitar teacher for half a decade and I don't think Stairway to Heaven is anywhere remotely near the easiest song to play. Most beginner guitarists can't get past the first A minor barre chord
Yoo you are pretty cool dude, sounds like you really know your stuff from experience. Also, you are right about that algorithm thing on TH-cam because i dont know how i got here, or how i didnt get her before. One thing though, you lost me at "homework", i have bad memories on that stuff. Good vid, eatched the whole thing!
Maybe it's a easy song for guitarist, But if you can make melody which will stuck inside peoples mind in a good way, what more you want? You can do sooo much practice and use much ass theory and make something which will be only understandable to those who understand and appreciate musicality.. And looking at today's music, yes it was hell of a awesome song, What i mean by all of this is, u don't have to be so technical and theoretical musician, as long as you can make crowd, people happy then that's the success for any type of musician..✌ P.s - I'm a guitarist, my favorite band is opeth and i love wonderwall too😉✌
withrr withrr Right on man. A lot of musicians these days tend to focus too much on the execution of songs and tend to disregard the skill that goes into songwriting. Just because you can play your guitar very well doesn't mean you can write a great song.
Patricio Fernandez Exactly! I see many of these youtubers write the most boring shitty songs. Technicality doesn't matter if you can't make the guitar sound good.
Wonderwall became the creep of Oasis really. The world fell in love with it while Oasis fans (after it's initial impact) thought that it was a bad song compared to the better Oasis songs. Even Noel and Liam talk all the time about how they dislike wonderwall and don't get why that's the one people chose as their Oasis anthem. and then of course you pair that with the fact it's so easy and came to epitomise the douche guitar player who wanted attention. But wonderwall still has it's moments, in the UK for sure. Get a group of drunken brits and it can be 1995 all over again
Riptide is the ukelele equivalent of Wonderwall for guitar. Everyone with a ukelele can play Riptide. Knew a girl in my class who would play it all the time during P.E. ALL THE TIME and everyone would crowd around her in awe, myself included, until I got my own uke and then that was literally the first tune I learned. Am, G, C. Over and over. Love the song but its definitely the Wonderwall of ukelele.
This must be an American phenomenon because people here in Ireland people still love Oasis and Wonderwall is always popular at functions and parties, also on the jukebox!
All those people leaving comments about the guy at the party may want to ask him to play this version The Mike Flowers Pops - Wonderwall to regain their love of the song. Oh and tell 'em it's the original version too.
Oasis were some of the last great rockstars… and then many people turned on them, in particular my country America. So more modest bands like Matchbox 20 and eventually Maroon 5 can rule, along with their team of songwriters and there is no escape from it. Reaped... what.. we... sowed. Thanks a lot my fellow Americans
As a kids guitar teacher, Wonderwall is a very popular songs for kids especially as their right hand (or strumming hand) develops. Often the music you like when you're 12yrs old tends to become a shameful embarrassment when you're 16 - to 30 yrs old. That's why people don't like Wonderwall. Years ago my old band put together a Greenday medley for a private event we played. We would pull it out every once in a while at our other gigs and it was really funny how people reacted to it. They either really loved it or they absolutely hated it. But I'm pretty sure the people who hated it the most were all Green day fans in middle school.. Now that fact is a shameful secret for them.
I don't hate wonderwall. It's on my set list, along with other pop songs new and old. As well as indi songs. I don't do a whole lot of discriminating. If the song's fun to play and people want to hear it, I'll put it in rotation at least for a while.
Noel Gallagher said Wonderwall is not even in his top 50 songs that hes written. It reminds me of when I was at high school when guys would play the opening notes of "Come as you are" and claim they could now play guitar. 😂
People complain that "Wonderwall" is so easy, but I've never heard anyone cover it correctly. They miss chords, hammer ons, and fills. And why are people hating on "Zombie"? It's a good song that, although not difficult in notation, is a technical song that can be ruined easily.
I had a neighbour in University who used to play Wonderwall. I didn't rate Oasis before that happened and certainly didn't afterwards. It is a simple song but not as simple as "I have a dream" by ABBA, which has effectively two-and-a-half chords, (F7 & Bb all the way through except for one bar of Eb). "Happy Birthday to you" is (or can be made to be) more complicated.
Enjoyable video. Had a good time seeing someone else not taking it all so seriously. And you're theory lessons have helped me tremendously in making progress playing and composing. I've got a handicapped left wrist from a car wreck (Ltd. Range of motion) so could you do a video on chord voicing substitutions. Some chords are very painful for me so finding alternatives could help me progress. 10yrs and I don't consider myself a real player yet. Thanks
Definitely will do that! Which specific chord voicings are the hardest for you? And if you could answer in a fresh comment that would be great (I don't get notified of the replies)
I dig that cat,Sean D.hes out of sight,on thee guitar.funny I just watched a interview of van morrison from like 74 I think,he said I dig it about 10 or more times.must have been pretty popular then
Guitarists hate it because they can shred at 250 bpm but nobody gives a crap and the guy that doesn't know how to hold a pick gets all the attention. But in reality if you hate the song just because of this kind of reason , it just means you have low self esteem and you're very insecure. For me, it happened before too, but I don't hate the song or anyone just because of that. I first heard Wonderwall in 2007 when I was just a kid in primary school, so it will always have a place in my heart. And whether people are watching me or impressed at my skills on the guitar whether it's easy or not, is completely irrelevant to me.
Okay, I admit it, I'm old. I started playing guitar in 1964 and I've never heard of 'Wonderwall' (but I do recall Oasis) so I googled it and listened to a couple minutes of the video. Now I hate Wonderwall too :-) I think its insipid.
As a primarily rhythm player I completely disagree with rhythm and lead comparison on difficulty, while I won't say rhythm is a cake walk while doing polyrhythm or playing with prog-rock/metal time sigs the difference is staggering when trying to complete a petrucci, guthrie or tosin solo. That said rhythm is the key in making your songs sound different so leads need to pay respect or learn rhythm.
As far as Royal Blood, I can't say the I dig the music. However, if they put on a show the way they appeared on that cover, I think that I would definitely stay & watch with enjoyment & lust in my heart.................. :)
BIGGEST band since The Beatles yes. Best band is definitely a step too far but "best" is a subjective thing anyway I guess. It's a fact they were the biggest since The Beatles though on a global scale.
Aaaaand here's me playing Wonderwall: th-cam.com/video/-sYQ-Pi-00E/w-d-xo.html

Sean Daniel Hi there! I actually just wanted to ask what kind make brand of guitar that is? Thanks.
Tom Sullivan, Looks like a Taylor brand guitar. They're really well built.
Wonderwall for guitarists is like Careless Whispers for Sax players
Classy :)
Ohh.. okay. I get it. I was a sax player and I completely get it now. Thank you!
I play the saxophone and everyday in band someone mentions careless whisper 😂😂
Then which song is for Violin?
@@ThangNguyen-sv7nn 5th Beethoven
Guitarists: Wonderwall/Smoke on the Water
Bassists: Seven Nation Army
Drums: Rock and Roll II(Hey Song)
Piano: Heart and Soul
Saxophone: Carless Whisper
When I was a kid "Wipeout" was the yardstick for drummers.
The REAL heart and soul is pretty good, but everyone simplified it and that version sucks
Hearts and souls? I'd say canon in D or fur elise but that's probably for classical
@@slymate924 river flows in you also gets asked a lot

Wonder wall is the guitar players version of 7 nation army for bass players.
Haha, yup.
colonel frogs and it’s weird, since 7NA is a guitar song, as The White Stripes have no bassist
Yeah that's true
@@ShizukaNaHito it's dropped a couple of octaves down on the pedal-board, so it's actually more natural on the bass.
Or another one bites the dust.
we hate Wonderwall because either
1. We're constantly told if we can play if for someone
2. It got memed to death
The memes didn't help.
Ahaha....here’s wonderwall
3. Every douchebag with a guitar used it to get sex from ignorant people who don't know how stupidly easy the song is to play.
I love wonderwall! I dont care if its overused.

But somewhat overrated I can agree

Let me reiterate it was my favorite song at one point.
pay it forward
Can't friend long long gone

The song is no better or worse than a million other songs I've heard. Compared to a lot of stuff coming out today it holds up.
It does
+Sean Daniel yeah sometimes a song gets overplayed and people forget that once they liked it
The most boomer statement
It's Wonderwall that turned me on to Oasis in 2000 at the British "pub" in PSAB, Saudi Arabia. Have listened to them nearly everyday since.
Great band!
British pub, sounds like a load of shit.
We see the British pubs on holidays always empty. Its the Irish Pub that is the place to be.
That sucks dude
I love wonderwall. I love the whole album. It's a cracking album.
It's a good one.
Oasis are good but they are so full of themselves lmao. Best band since the beatles? Fuck me, they are really not that special
Yeah that's a little extreme.
Oh hey gabzito
I approve of your efforts to bring back those words and phrases. I've been trying hard to bring back "doll face". It's going... ok. Ish.
I'll add doll face to it
"I was always more on team Blur" earned you a thumbs up!

I mean... I would have liked the video anyway, but that made me immediately and enthusiastically click like. Forget "Clapton is god"... Coxon is god.
Wonderwall is an amazing song, it may be overplayed but it's one of the reasons the Gallagher brothers will live forever
What's the story is one of the greatest albums ever. Period. I don't care. (Also definitely maybe)

One thing though, you lost me at "homework", i have bad memories on that stuff. Good vid, eatched the whole thing!
I hear ya :)
Maybe it's a easy song for guitarist,
But if you can make melody which will stuck inside peoples mind in a good way, what more you want?
You can do sooo much practice and use much ass theory and make something which will be only understandable to those who understand and appreciate musicality..
And looking at today's music, yes it was hell of a awesome song,
What i mean by all of this is, u don't have to be so technical and theoretical musician, as long as you can make crowd, people happy then that's the success for any type of musician..✌
P.s - I'm a guitarist, my favorite band is opeth and i love wonderwall too😉✌
withrr withrr Right on man. A lot of musicians these days tend to focus too much on the execution of songs and tend to disregard the skill that goes into songwriting. Just because you can play your guitar very well doesn't mean you can write a great song.
Patricio Fernandez Exactly! I see many of these youtubers write the most boring shitty songs. Technicality doesn't matter if you can't make the guitar sound good.
Right on man.
Sean Daniel I'm trying to bring that expression back, like you're trying to do with "dig" and "cat"
Opeth is a great band.
I never played it in the past...now I do, it ALWAYS goes well
:)
Wonderwall became the creep of Oasis really. The world fell in love with it while Oasis fans (after it's initial impact) thought that it was a bad song compared to the better Oasis songs. Even Noel and Liam talk all the time about how they dislike wonderwall and don't get why that's the one people chose as their Oasis anthem. and then of course you pair that with the fact it's so easy and came to epitomise the douche guitar player who wanted attention. But wonderwall still has it's moments, in the UK for sure. Get a group of drunken brits and it can be 1995 all over again
Right on Jake!
I like many of Oasis’s songs and only one Radiohead song which is Creep. I also love You’re Body is a Wonderland. Idgaf.
@@MR-cb7pe you actually only like creep from Radiohead? They have tons of amazing songs
My high school choir director used the phrase "dig it." That brings back some good memories!
Love it!
Thanks for helping on the resurrection of "cat".
That's cool beans.
(I'm bring that one back too).
Especially with that much swagger!
People tend to hate anything that gets popular, they wonder why they didn't think of such an easy tune themselves.
When he said it was the best band since the Beatles. *Angry queen Stan noises*
I love your response to the lead vs rhythm playing comment was awesome. You gained a subscriber lol
Welcome to the party!
Guitar snobbery is alive & well !!
Keepin it fresh.
Was anyone else waiting for him to start playing Wonderwall in this video?
Was enjoying it until ‘I was on team Blur’ dropped. Nah only joking nice video bud haha 👍🏻
haha, fair enough :)
You need some parklife
woah this was a year ago...
anyway, here's wonderwall
Wonderwall is the most amazing song in my opinion
Riptide is the ukelele equivalent of Wonderwall for guitar. Everyone with a ukelele can play Riptide. Knew a girl in my class who would play it all the time during P.E. ALL THE TIME and everyone would crowd around her in awe, myself included, until I got my own uke and then that was literally the first tune I learned. Am, G, C. Over and over. Love the song but its definitely the Wonderwall of ukelele.
100% accurate
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Brandon Flowers?
Yeah I get that all the time :)
I LOVE Wonderwall AND Brandon Flowers. The Killers are phenomenal.
This must be an American phenomenon because people here in Ireland people still love Oasis and Wonderwall is always popular at functions and parties, also on the jukebox!
That may be true.
Must have been, crystallized salt, because it wasn't Kosher.
Ha
It was :)
I don't care what people say, it's a great song. It's been overplayed, but it's still great.
Fair.
Honestly, I hated Oasis back in the day cuz I was so metal and cool but damn they had some big tunes and a great sound.
Definitely
@@seandaniel23 definitely maybe
All those people leaving comments about the guy at the party may want to ask him to play this version The Mike Flowers Pops - Wonderwall to regain their love of the song. Oh and tell 'em it's the original version too.
Thanks for sharing!
Oasis were some of the last great rockstars… and then many people turned on them, in particular my country America. So more modest bands like Matchbox 20 and eventually Maroon 5 can rule, along with their team of songwriters and there is no escape from it. Reaped... what.. we... sowed. Thanks a lot my fellow Americans
So sad.
And now many who turned on them, regret it because of what music has become
As a kids guitar teacher, Wonderwall is a very popular songs for kids especially as their right hand (or strumming hand) develops. Often the music you like when you're 12yrs old tends to become a shameful embarrassment when you're 16 - to 30 yrs old. That's why people don't like Wonderwall. Years ago my old band put together a Greenday medley for a private event we played. We would pull it out every once in a while at our other gigs and it was really funny how people reacted to it. They either really loved it or they absolutely hated it. But I'm pretty sure the people who hated it the most were all Green day fans in middle school.. Now that fact is a shameful secret for them.
Very accurate Green Day comparison.
thanks for explaining this to me Brandon Flowers
I gotchu
@@seandaniel23 Somebody told me about this channel, it's brilliant. Definitely on the brightside of TH-cam 😁
Okay
....Now here's Wonderwall.
Thanks for watching.
I don't hate wonderwall. It's on my set list, along with other pop songs new and old. As well as indi songs. I don't do a whole lot of discriminating. If the song's fun to play and people want to hear it, I'll put it in rotation at least for a while.
Good call, people do love it.
Thank you Sean! I appreciate it. I also probably should have mentioned I wasn’t born when Wonder Wall come out so I really didn’t experience its fame.
Hey thanks for watching!
Ok Computer came, Britpop went.
Now there's an album.
Noel Gallagher said Wonderwall is not even in his top 50 songs that hes written. It reminds me of when I was at high school when guys would play the opening notes of "Come as you are" and claim they could now play guitar. 😂
I love it.
People complain that "Wonderwall" is so easy, but I've never heard anyone cover it correctly. They miss chords, hammer ons, and fills.
And why are people hating on "Zombie"? It's a good song that, although not difficult in notation, is a technical song that can be ruined easily.
I know right! Cranberries are amazing.
Lol they say you look like PewDiePie and the funny thing is PewDiePie played wonderwall for his gf years ago.
I'm hearing that a lot now.
I had a neighbour in University who used to play Wonderwall. I didn't rate Oasis before that happened and certainly didn't afterwards. It is a simple song but not as simple as "I have a dream" by ABBA, which has effectively two-and-a-half chords, (F7 & Bb all the way through except for one bar of Eb). "Happy Birthday to you" is (or can be made to be) more complicated.
Long live Abba
Bring back the word, “groovy”.
You dig?
I'm in.
@@seandaniel23 groovy
Enjoyable video. Had a good time seeing someone else not taking it all so seriously. And you're theory lessons have helped me tremendously in making progress playing and composing. I've got a handicapped left wrist from a car wreck (Ltd. Range of motion) so could you do a video on chord voicing substitutions. Some chords are very painful for me so finding alternatives could help me progress. 10yrs and I don't consider myself a real player yet. Thanks
Definitely will do that! Which specific chord voicings are the hardest for you? And if you could answer in a fresh comment that would be great (I don't get notified of the replies)
I dig that cat,Sean D.hes out of sight,on thee guitar.funny I just watched a interview of van morrison from like 74 I think,he said I dig it about 10 or more times.must have been pretty popular then
We're bringing it back!
Guitarists hate it because they can shred at 250 bpm but nobody gives a crap and the guy that doesn't know how to hold a pick gets all the attention. But in reality if you hate the song just because of this kind of reason , it just means you have low self esteem and you're very insecure.
For me, it happened before too, but I don't hate the song or anyone just because of that. I first heard Wonderwall in 2007 when I was just a kid in primary school, so it will always have a place in my heart. And whether people are watching me or impressed at my skills on the guitar whether it's easy or not, is completely irrelevant to me.
preach!
Okay, I admit it, I'm old. I started playing guitar in 1964 and I've never heard of 'Wonderwall' (but I do recall Oasis) so I googled it and listened to a couple minutes of the video. Now I hate Wonderwall too :-) I think its insipid.
Welcome to the party!
I am a bit older....RAD. That is the word I want back.
Let's do it!
Team Blur
+1
Hey, hey guys. I'm learning guitar. Anyways, here's Wonderwall.
I'm with ya on the cat thing, brother. Dig.
Out of sight!
Brilliant. thanks. subscribed! also "can you expound on this" a piece of me died there.
More and more pieces die everyday
Sean Daniel is my favorite hip hop artist.
I won't let you down!
Oasis played music that the English could relate to. Like sex pistols, the prodigy once in a generation bands.
definitely a great band
"deep salt"
Deeper than the deepest sea.
As a primarily rhythm player I completely disagree with rhythm and lead comparison on difficulty, while I won't say rhythm is a cake walk while doing polyrhythm or playing with prog-rock/metal time sigs the difference is staggering when trying to complete a petrucci, guthrie or tosin solo. That said rhythm is the key in making your songs sound different so leads need to pay respect or learn rhythm.
That's what I'm saying, a primary rhythm player would realize lead is harder like a primary lead player would think rhythm is harder.
can you do a vid tutorial on "Wonderwall?"
Oh boy.
I can feel Sean's "enthusiasm" in his comment.
Oasis was a fucken great band and my favourite of all time. I’ve personally got slightly bored of wonderwall but there’s no denying it is a great song
I agree.
As far as Royal Blood, I can't say the I dig the music. However, if they put on a show the way they appeared on that cover, I think that I would definitely stay & watch with enjoyment & lust in my heart.................. :)
There was an alement of that live.
“Anyway, here’s Wonderwall.”
_”Today is gonna be the day that they’re gonna throw it back to you”_
I'm proud to say i own and still play What's the story morning glory. Oasis best band since the Beatles.
Let's not get too carried away.
If you don't count all the other bands since the Beatles. :-)
@Robert Payne you're right N Sync much much better 😂
Ah somebody finally talking sense
BIGGEST band since The Beatles yes. Best band is definitely a step too far but "best" is a subjective thing anyway I guess. It's a fact they were the biggest since The Beatles though on a global scale.
Upon hearing you say they’re s great band, what’s your favourite Blur album? Personally 13 is the best (and probably my favourite of all time)
I think it's actually their self-titled. Beetlebum is an all-timer for me.
"most hated guitar song"
I think you mean Lollipop by Lil Wayne
FUCK OFF LIL WAYNE IS THE BEST ACORDIAN PLAYER EVER!!!
Wonderwall was posted on TH-cam less than 5 years ago, and it has 166 million views.
It's a popular one no doubt.
Who else wants a Nickelback Wonderwall cover song?!?!?!?!?!?
Yes.
Only if I can wash it down with a pint of arsenic.
