I can see that as well haha- also I can really imagine Liam singing Kremlin Backed.. as one of his punkier solo songs, reckon James needs to get on the old LG co writing team 👀
That freaked me out at the end of the video there James - I'm the bloke who was swapping the t-shirt! I thought Brian was winding me up when he said Bonehead was there. It was great to meet him and you as well mate. Again, apologies for jumping the queue on the 'picture with Bonehead' front. 📸😬
I’ve often thought bonehead and Izzy straddlin were one in the same . 2 iconic founding members that once they left , the band just were never the same.
And whilst we’re talking in that ballpoint, both those bands original drummers were fired, after their first albums, which were classics, and although they were replaced with technically better drummers, they lost a lot of the feel from the first album and never got it back.
@@richardmoores definitely agree with regards to Adler. There’s obviously some great drum parts on Definitely Maybe: Bring It On Down, Supersonic, etc. Not sure how much that is down to Tony or whether Noel came up with it all
@@cs0rpc I'm a drummer and tbh, almost all drum parts on Definetly Maybe are what a guitarist writing a drum part sounds like. 4 on the floor all the way, minimal fills, only cymbal crashes and the occasional break. Doing that gives the guitar more space of course, sometimes the right choice (like with ACDC) sometimes it can get a bit boring. Not to take anything away from Tony McCarroll though...
Where I live in the United States Noel tends to play a lot of smaller venues and he can get away with it because he's not as famous/popular here so I got to meet him before a show once and not only that, but he signed autographs for me and everyone in line and the video is on TH-cam (I believe it was at House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio). Also met Liam's band and manager at the time while waiting outside the venue in Chicago for one of his solo shows in 2017 I believe. They spent a couple hours in a coffee shop across the street from the venue, and his manager at the time (not Debbie Gwyther) was super kind and walked up and asked myself and another obsessed fan if we were getting too cold waiting outside the venue in the snow and told us that Liam would probably not be signing or meeting fans before the show that night and she was right. Liam arrived in his car literally a minute before walking on stage haha. If you're in the US and want to try to meet the Gallagher brothers, I would advise to get there really early (probably around noon even) and don't get your hopes up as those guys are unpredictable as ever, but something special could happen! I've met many artists this way. Hopefully you'll get to meet some other band members one day, and bring your band and music across the pond as they say!
Confirmed true here in the states, Noel walked right past everyone to the back of the line in NYC when we met him. Security probably confirmed there was a really nice drunk, adoring, aging fan who wants his signature :D He also moved fans from the nose bleeds towards the front, sad part is it didn't matter, the fans barely had a pulse to begin with. (Leaned over to my spouse when looking at the crowd and said I'm embarrassed on behalf of fans in America, this crowd would never happen overseas, thats part of why I stopped playing music live).
That's brilliant mate. You are an extraordinary guy and that was no ordinary day! Glad it's all coming together for you and you seem to be making some great contacts over the course of building this channel. Well chuffed fur ye...
Wow man, thank you so much for the lovely Christmas gift. Such an amazing experience. Such an honor to be a subscriber. Wishing you well, sincerely so happy that you'd gotten to meet one of your influences.
It does make me laugh that Bonehead has become a Star in the Oasis legacy since the split, mostly since the Supersonic film release. In the 2000’s he was completely forgotten about and almost erased. The public are fickle
Bonehead really stepped up Liam's band since he's joined, the general consensus was Bonehead played stuff any 15 year old learning guitar could and Gem was the superior guitarist, but without Bonehead you don't have that thick wall of saturated crunchy guitar.
The musical journey you are on with Oasis reminds me of the book “A secret Liverpool” about the guy who tracks down members of the La’s to hear their story. Great stuff!
I went to the original small Microdot in the centre of Kendal last year. A really cool place but it took me a while to find it as was literally tucked up a side alleyway and only signposted from one end of the alley (Sod’s law I came from the end that wasn’t signposted). Was well worth the visit though and Brian came out of the back room/office had a chat with me and also some photo’s with him next to Bonehead’s fireplace (even coming out with the stand up beside the fireplace line as we were doing the photo’s). Him and his wife were really nice. I’ll be heading back to look at the new larger premises.
Great video James 👍..I love your channel thanks very much on your in depth knowledge through a lot of research too..I love your presentation and style mate.. Keep up the great work you are doing..👍👍👍
Great stuff. When are we getting an interview with one of the brothers though!? Id bet your questions would be intriguing to both noel and Liam as well as us fans.
Gonna have to go there & have a mooch about,loved oasis back in the day, massive part of my life,seen em at Maine road,earls court,loch Lomond etc,a brilliant time of my life 🎸👍🤘❤️
Excellent video. And it may have just my ears, but I detected a sense hushed reverence when you entered and we're exploring the memorabilia. It wasn't quite a Sunday morning church after a night of drinking, quite respect. But to me it added a lot to video because you are obviously a mega Oasis fan. And I think had been any other band that had a shop like I would have rolled my eyes. But Oasis can get away damn near anything.
Great video again James. I was expecting Bonehead to come out with some amazingly thought provoking advice on future bands / indie artists but it was just a Merry Christmas haha! Still good though and Merry Christmas 🎅 James and Bonehead if you're reading this.
Bonehead looks fucking great, man! Absolutely fucking great! Throw an Epiphone Riviera on the man, get Guigsy, dye his hair a bit, throw a pair of Ray-Bans & a Fender Precision Bass on the fella, & then, of course, get them two Gallagher Brothers & Whitey back on the kit.... Viola! And make damn sure that reunion hits AT LEAST Madison Square Garden in NYC, EagleBank Arena in D.C, Credit Union 1 Arena in Chi-Town, & The Hollywood Bowl in L.A, damnit!
I met Noel Gallagher back in 2016 when he had a gig here in Zagreb and had my epiphone signed by him. Although it’s a e-acoustic model ej200-ce worth about 400£, how much would cost as an originally signed by Noel?
This is kind of off topic but what was the song playing at 3:42? It really fits with bonehead petting the Christmas dog. Also, keep up the good content.
I met him in 1998 and I've had a short but friendly chat before the show.I asked him to sign my ticket and then he refused giving me some weird excuses,which was quite disappointing to me.But at least I have Noel's autograph and he didn't give me any type of excuses or stupid reasons not to sign it.Anyway,I wish Bonehead a quick recover...
Any chance you could do a video tabbing up the champagne supernova outro solo from the Maine Road gig, been trying to learn with no tabs but it’s difficult 👍
Lol no, much as I would love to interview him, I didn't even ask. He's still Liam's guitarist, and must get sick of people asking him for stuff. So I just wanted to meet him, shake his hand, and that was it. I don't want to be a taker - want to make sure as I get to know more people in the industry that I show them respect as human beings, and don't just try to get stuff out of them... Maybe one day we'll get the chance to have a sit down chat for the channel, but only if he ever fancies it.
In all honesty... no. He's still the guitarist for the biggest rockstar in the country and gets bombarded with people asking him for stuff all the time. So I just wanted to meet him, shake his hand, and that was it. It would be great to get to chat more with him in future, but I want to treat him like a human being not a 'resource' if you know what I mean.
I’m betting in 2 yrs James will have written a song for Liam Gallagher.
I feel like that is where this is heading.
Big James.
Ha! I hope you're right.
Onwards and upwards!
I can see that as well haha- also I can really imagine Liam singing Kremlin Backed.. as one of his punkier solo songs, reckon James needs to get on the old LG co writing team 👀
A genuine music supporter
Who are the parents of James? I recall Lennon & naughty Gene are Liam's boys.
Expecting James to join oasis at this rate
I really think down the line a year or 2 that Liam or Noel will collaborate with or sing one of James' songs.
He's hanging with Bonehead so he's two fifths of the way there, kinda...
Lol
Tricky when Oasis no longer exists....but nice thought.
*checks the news* So you’re telling me there is a chance? 🤔
This is so crazy, meeting one of the founding members of Oasis! So happy for you James!
That freaked me out at the end of the video there James - I'm the bloke who was swapping the t-shirt!
I thought Brian was winding me up when he said Bonehead was there.
It was great to meet him and you as well mate.
Again, apologies for jumping the queue on the 'picture with Bonehead' front.
📸😬
Hahahahaha awesome
It's a small world!
No worries, was nice to meet you
I know he's a total recluse, but seeing Guigsy as well, alongside Bonehead, would be absolute class.
I’ve often thought bonehead and Izzy straddlin were one in the same . 2 iconic founding members that once they left , the band just were never the same.
Good eye yeah both really great rhythm guitarists overlooked by the lead, they were the structure holding it down
Bit of a gulf between them. Izzy was a fantastic songwriter.
And whilst we’re talking in that ballpoint, both those bands original drummers were fired, after their first albums, which were classics, and although they were replaced with technically better drummers, they lost a lot of the feel from the first album and never got it back.

Yeah it's all coming together nicely! Tony McCarroll is definitely on my hitlist...
I'm sure Tony'd be up for it, the real achievement would be to coax Guigsy out of hiding!
Spot on mate
The Legend that is Bonehead! Fair Play James on meeting probably one of the most important UK Rhythm Guitarist's Ever! Thanks Mate
Ha, when I used to watch the documentaries on repeat in my younger days, Bonehead made me crack up A LOT!
о боже ахахаха
Bonehead seems like such a good dude. I'd love to meet him. If I ever come to the UK, Microdot is my first stop. Such a cool vibe.
Wow man, thank you so much for the lovely Christmas gift. Such an amazing experience. Such an honor to be a subscriber. Wishing you well, sincerely so happy that you'd gotten to meet one of your influences.

Was looking at a job today in Kendal and stopped by the shop and met Brian - great guy and great collection to view
The musical journey you are on with Oasis reminds me of the book “A secret Liverpool” about the guy who tracks down members of the La’s to hear their story. Great stuff!
That is my brother in law - Matt Macefield. Great book too.
That is so AWESOME James 🙌
Microdot is on my bucket list, it’s a long way from Australia 🇦🇺 but I will get there one day
I used to watch Bonehead every week on The Royle Family. A multi-talented man.
I went to the original small Microdot in the centre of Kendal last year. A really cool place but it took me a while to find it as was literally tucked up a side alleyway and only signposted from one end of the alley (Sod’s law I came from the end that wasn’t signposted).

James - these little insights for fans are superb - please keep on keeping on with your channel - thank you!
Great video James 👍..I love your channel thanks very much on your in depth knowledge through a lot of research too..I love your presentation and style mate.. Keep up the great work you are doing..👍👍👍
bonehead the great great guitarist from oasis
Santas little helper must've thought bonehead was a bone LOL
Great to meet you mate!
You too 👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸
Bet bonehead only popped in to pick his fireplace up!😂
Brilliant video James
Ah man, that is epic!
Was that your first time meeting Bonehead? Seems really cool!
Great stuff. When are we getting an interview with one of the brothers though!? Id bet your questions would be intriguing to both noel and Liam as well as us fans.
That's great, mate! Happy for ya'. Cheers
So epic my dude!! Not jealous at all! Loving all the content! Keep it up!
Great vid. I met Bonehead about 16 years ago and had a drink with him at a bar
That’s amazing James, did you have a good chat with him about what you’re doing?
congratulations James !!!! I am happy with your happiness !!! even if it is in this way and in that place ... greetings from Córdoba Argentina.
Made my 1st purchase this week lol some amazing items
Gonna have to go there & have a mooch about,loved oasis back in the day, massive part of my life,seen em at Maine road,earls court,loch Lomond etc,a brilliant time of my life 🎸👍🤘❤️
I know oasis is all Noel + Liam but to me that “ oasis sound “ is bonehead , a epiphone hollow body and his jcm900 stack
100%
I fully agree.
Nice one James. Did they have any other variations of artwork on show from the Oasis era?
Awesome video, James. I love your channel - I have been watching your content for a while and I think you're a great guy! Keep up the good work!
Excellent video. And it may have just my ears, but I detected a sense hushed reverence when you entered and we're exploring the memorabilia.

My family live in Kendal and Tony McCarroll has popped into the Microdot shop
There was a mention in the local newspaper.
Very cool mate! Love how you are growing this channel. Great content. :-)
Great video again James. I was expecting Bonehead to come out with some amazingly thought provoking advice on future bands / indie artists but it was just a Merry Christmas haha! Still good though and Merry Christmas 🎅 James and Bonehead if you're reading this.
What a community oasis fans are. Class
You are as obsessed with oasis as I am I can’t believe there are people out there like me ☺️
Bonehead looks fucking great, man! Absolutely fucking great! Throw an Epiphone Riviera on the man, get Guigsy, dye his hair a bit, throw a pair of Ray-Bans & a Fender Precision Bass on the fella, & then, of course, get them two Gallagher Brothers & Whitey back on the kit....

That 'Dexter-Head of security' Line is the best joke I've seen all week. XD
That's awesome!
The dream is being lived.
Love you bonehead! Hope your getting better!
So Cool ❤️
Bonehead looking better than ever! If they could JUST lure Guigs out, man! He's literally disappeared!
I met Noel Gallagher back in 2016 when he had a gig here in Zagreb and had my epiphone signed by him.
Although it’s a e-acoustic model ej200-ce worth about 400£, how much would cost as an originally signed by Noel?
Give ya 420 for it mate
@@SnapMeBollix69 Yeah, don't think so
What did you mean by Tony McCarroll hammered that sign in?
Class this! Nice one mate
Bonehead should write an autobiography
Got no room for the Aston Martin... legend
This is kind of off topic but what was the song playing at 3:42? It really fits with bonehead petting the Christmas dog.
Also, keep up the good content.
Honestly shocking how intimate this is.
James you’ll be supporting at the reunion gig at this rate that’s for sure
That was cool
He's a genuine bloke that Bonehead.
I met him in 1998 and I've had a short but friendly chat before the show.I asked him to sign my ticket and then he refused giving me some weird excuses,which was quite disappointing to me.But at least I have Noel's autograph and he didn't give me any type of excuses or stupid reasons not to sign it.Anyway,I wish Bonehead a quick recover...
Is all that display for sale? The duffle coat, the gold disc, posters, the um fireplace (maybe not the fireplace)
I swear Bonehead doesn't age! If he shaved the beard he would look pretty much like he did in 1996.
Any chance you could do a video tabbing up the champagne supernova outro solo from the Maine Road gig, been trying to learn with no tabs but it’s difficult 👍
DEXTERS A STAR. HE WEARS A JUMPER BETTER THAN "NOEL" ANYDAY, AND MUCH MORE BARK TOO.
Nice One!
Where is this oasis shop and was it a one off or still open thanks
Regularly open - heres the link
www.google.com/maps?daddr=Microdot+Boutique+Unit+16+Shap+Road+Industrial+Estate
Also www.microdotboutique.com/
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar thanks so much, that's a 4hr drive for me so il have to arrange something
👍👍👍👍👍
I met bone head at A1 music in Manchester when I was about 16. He gave us an autograph.
Has Microdot done any original work for bands since the 90's? Or did they stop with Oasis?
Your next mission is to find Guigsy
Oasis have a shop lol that’s made my day is Liam gonna be working the service desk
So jealous! Great stuff. Must get up there... although i think i have way exceeded my 'stuff i dont need' budget this year #NoelGibson!
OASIS live on through this channel.
And also the sound of WTSMG and BHN
Did you ask him about the alternative chord sequence he plays on Wonderwall?
Bonehead is the spirit of Oasis…
I trust you took the opportunity to tee up a future zoom interview with Bonehead?
Lol no, much as I would love to interview him, I didn't even ask. He's still Liam's guitarist, and must get sick of people asking him for stuff.
So I just wanted to meet him, shake his hand, and that was it.
I don't want to be a taker - want to make sure as I get to know more people in the industry that I show them respect as human beings, and don't just try to get stuff out of them...
Maybe one day we'll get the chance to have a sit down chat for the channel, but only if he ever fancies it.
Christmas Dog?? You mean Santa Paws? Missed a trick there!
Please elaborate on Bonehead being the sound of Definitely Maybe.
Fuck this is awesome
Did you tap him up for a future interview/Collab? What a day!
You must have asked if Bonehead would be up for an interview at a later date, right?
In all honesty... no.
He's still the guitarist for the biggest rockstar in the country and gets bombarded with people asking him for stuff all the time.
So I just wanted to meet him, shake his hand, and that was it.
It would be great to get to chat more with him in future, but I want to treat him like a human being not a 'resource' if you know what I mean.
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar respect
I hope James get to play guitar on Liam's band!!
Should have asked Brian Canon about the 'Mainstream' video shoot in Poland.
I went there not so long ago and we had the place to our selves it was empty
Think bonehead got a static shock there 😂
bonehead was the eldest of them all at the start and still is the oldest
1 album. Like seriously one album.
Best acoustic guitar strings to sound like oasis, I have the epiphone acoustic that noel had originally?
Also, can't stop watching your videos absolutely top drawer!
What do you think Bonehead did for a job these past 22 years? Or did he make enough in those five years to be set for life?
Did you know 'Oasis' was a shop with shoes so hot they were sure to blow your mind? 😏
Can you taste the past?
epic
I boned BONEHEAD! checkmate, mate.
Bono looks so different these days?
Was Bonehead friendly or arrogant? Seems like a cool bloke. Must have made some $$$$ in his time
:)
Some might say Pretty Green is the best Oasis shop in the world
Bonehead’s actual Aston Martin to be stored at Microdot is so rock & roll. Not.
