Love the way the album starts with Wonderwall chords, but quiet. First listen, a casual listener will hear the part they recognise and turn the volume up which they assume is turned down. Then suddenly ‘blip blip’ and Hello smashes through the speakers at you at a higher volume, as you’d just turned it up as you thought it was too low. Great bit of audience/listener manipulation to pull them right in before blowing them away!
It was also one of the first albums ever (maybe the first) to use some new technique that cranked the volume up right loud. To this day if u were to walk into a pub and stick it on the jukebox it will almost certainly turn heads. And watch the landlord/lady run to the volume swish to turn it down lol. lucky that my old local back in 97 was run by an irish oasis fan :)
I never knew that quiet bit were recorded outside as Noel sat on an actual fucking wall, though. That makes me laugh. I can completely rate; I’m sure he was off his head on coke when he comes up with that idea.

Ffs for years I've been trying to remember what kids show lyrics does "she's electric" sound like n it's probably been on Wikipedia for years "You and me"
Just imagine, That happened 25 years ago, and at that moment I don’t think they had a clue it was gonna be so big. I cant even remember how I wrote songs 2 years ago
To me, Don't look back in Anger is the most well rounded , solid, wholesome song of Oasis. Not too upbeat, not too melow, not too distortioned, you can sing/scream along, you can even freaking dance it if you want! It's the perfect yoga/union for all, and at the same time you cannot not feel that hits you. Great drumming , and solo, and probably the best thing to me is that means practically nothing, therefore could mean anything you want at that moment. Thank you for this song, definitely in the songtrack of my life.🙏
Thank you all 🙏 To give a little more context of the worldwide impact of this song, I was born in Perú, in my 20s moved to USA, perhaps at this point in life, I'll be in Germany or somewhere in Europe, who knows, maybe Liverpool or even Manchester, will be nice to relive those days of the 90s in Peru and sing this anthem with you all 🙌 Godspeed ✌️
Having been there then, when Morning Glory was released, there’s no way to explain to people who weren’t there how fulfilling and immediate the tracks were. To this day, even just watching these first few minutes I’m instantly taken back to hearing it for the first time. And it was everywhere. On the radio, on the telly, at the pub, in the papers, all of it. Your mates had it. Some of us would unpack and argue about which song was better at the local. Anyone who mucked around on guitar who knew how to play those songs were celebrities in your circle of friends. It started your evening and wrapped up your night. If it was a bad day, you’d put it on and feel less alone. If it was a proper day you’d out it on and celebrate. I don’t think there’s been an album since then that has managed to distill an entire moment of British culture and identity in quite the same way. And I’m a Yank who fell in love with this album during three wonderful years in London. My life has never been the same.
Spot on, I wouldn't disagree with anything you say. I was never the biggest fan of Oasis at the time, but they were inescapable and woven into the fabric of British society
It’s the unbelievable quality of the songs that have stood the test of time. I grew up right in the middle of the Oasis boom and I’m so glad I did. I learnt the guitar, formed a band and wrote songs, all due to the power and influence of this band. I’m 40 now but those songs and those unreal b sides are why I still love oasis
12 days that created a modern classic rock album of epic proportions. Noel Gallagher will forever be regarded as one of the greatest songwriters in rock history. There will never be another band quite like Oasis.
I just cant fathom the amount of talent it takes to write an albums of songs like this singlehandedly, and the amount of collective talent as a band unit to learn and record them in the time that they did. What a fucking band they were.
I know talent is a huge part of it but I believe drive and collective belief play a big part of it too, it's like they were all a big gang who wanted to be the best and they put themselves on the right trajectory to do it but I think they burned themselves out with it too, its like lighting in a bottle it's so rare! But what an amazing album and amazing time.
"Acquiesce" is my favorite song written by Noel. When i first heard it, i listened to it at least 13 times in a row. It shredded me, totally blew me away. I want it played at my funeral.
I used to read Oasis interviews to see if Noel would troll other British bands that I hadn’t heard of that I would immediately go and buy. Got into Cast, Embrace and Menswear that way lol
the last great era of rock music .. save for maybe the early 2000's, with bands like Strokes, White Stripes and Death Cab .. rock is dead unfortunately, sure there are great underground bands .. but rock is no longer the cultural juggernaut it used to be
Some might say, Wonderwall, dlbia, Champagne. 4 good songs, more than good actually. The rest are iconic because of the heights they reached at the time but rubbish. Cast no Shadow is ok
When you listen to albums like Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory, and Masterplan, you begin to worry about the mental wellbeing of the people who say Oasis were overrated.
We're probably not long off the whole wine sip reappraisal of them actually being Bloody Brilliant, Romanticised the Terraces or whatever the fuck. It shouldn't go full circle into them being underrated, but the whole "Yeah but they're just the Kinks aren't they?" thing has been played out for years by the same boring twats who would turn on a dime for Supersonic if it had a drum machine and some obscure samples on it. The whole "They only had one good album" think seems like a desperate overreach, too.
I’m from Greece and i was student in London back then (1995-1999).Some of the most beautiful memories of my life,i still remember all the hype...I love Oasis and even know when i hear "Live forever" from their first album i get emotional.Oasis for me are a flashback to my student years...”What’s the story morning glory” is one of the greatest albums ever.
I love Noel’s mixture of humbleness and self-confidence. ‘Yeah, I wrote that song and it’s awesome and culturally significant but I’m not a genius’. Then says McCartney is a genius. McCartney who I believe once said ‘a good artist borrows; a great artist steals’. And I’m fairly sure he nicked that line from Ray Charles!
well, if you're going to steal. steal from the best. elvis, the beatles, the stones, the who, the kinks, jimi hendrix, johnny cash, bob dylan, floyd, clapton, zeppelin, bowie, bolan, roxy music, the velvets, kraftwerk, iggy pop, can, stevie wonder, marvin gaye, bee gees, fleetwood mac, neil young, the clash, joy division, the cure, depeche mode, omd, duran duran, michael jackson, george michael, prince, tina turner, whitney houston, the smiths, r.e.m., U2, the stone roses, gnr, metallica, slayer, juda priest, iron maiden, queen, nirvana, NIN, pearl jam, oasis, blur, suede, soundgarden, the strokes, queens of the stone age, 2pac, biggie, dr. dre, snoop, n.w.a., wilco, radiohead, bjork, pj harvey, ani difranco, fiona apple, sade... they all stole something but they all admit to stealing something. that's why they're awesome. well, most of them.
Champagne Supernova is still my favourite song of all time. It's the only song that I can think of that hasn't aged for me and still gives me goosbumps.
Being a raver in the 90s, I was only half tuned into Oasis back then. I have always loved the brutal honesty of the Gallagher brothers and how “a spade is a spade” as far as they are concerned. As the years pass, you definitely realise how great Oasis were. Their songs are always great fun to sing when I’m pissed and funny enough, I tend to know all the words when spit them out at a high drunken level. I think Oasis sound as good today as they did back then and they have definitely left their legacy in British music. It is obvious from their interviews over the years that Liam and Noel still hold respect for one another musically and admit they could not have achieved their success without one another. Regardless of all the stick he gives Noel, it is apparent Liam misses his brother and deep down he loves him. It’s a shame they can’t get bury their egos for one day and just talk as brothers about being brothers and put the music element aside. That really is the sad part of the Oasis legacy.
Same here pal. Raving was my thing in the 90s. But these were a great band. Realised it when I was in Aya Napa and the whole bar went crazy for “Don’t look back in Anger”. Give me raving over Oasis any day. But always come back to these.
Quite possibly one of the best albums in rock'n'roll history. As I already told, arrange a reunion, a few gigs and a couple of decent new songs, and Oasis would take the world by storm once more. We need this to happen.
Noel is waiting till the cash out meets his preferred payment numbers. On the other hand gigs could happen but I doubt they’d head into the studio together. I wouldn’t want it to be just Liam, Noel and studio musicians anyways, at least get Gem and Andy Bell or Bonehead and Alan White. Hell even Zak Starkey .
I remember as a kid getting the album for Xmas and listening to it on headphones reading the words and looking at the pictures and being amazed! And now I’m still amazed! The songwriter of my times. What he does is genius whatever he says
"Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball." That song blows my mind even today. Looking at pictures of space, gobsmacked by the enormity of the universe, and those dust clouds. What color is that? Why it's champagne colored, somewhere between pink, red and purple. Yep, Liam G's whiney voice and Noel G's vision makes "What's the Story" so great.
I remember first ever hearing Oasis as a teenager, on MTV and it being late at night and having to write down the song name and artist. It was mid 90s no internet or streaming and having to catch a bus to get the single. They were simpler times but be a fan, took effort and dedication to get the albums. Oasis will be timeless
I love Noel he is such an honest straightforward guy. He is a creative genius. As he says there’s nothing original everything is influenced by something else but it takes a genius to select from the cosmic creative library and put it into a new masterpiece!
Mine too I've just bought wtsmg 25th anniversary edition silver vinyl on amazon! I've also just done a 3 day oasis binge n I'm still on said binge discovering more songs I've never heard n stuff I never knew! Like cocaine 2020s a helluva year!
I just ordered the 25th anniversary vinyl. I’m from Poland and my daughter has just been born. In 25 years from now I will sit with her and we will have glass of whisky together and we will unpack the album and play it on mine gramophone 😀
I absolutely love Oasis. They are one of my all time favorite bands. Keep bringing on the great tunes. Especially now. We really need more Oasis. ❤️🖤❤️
Did Liam ever apologize for slagging off Noel’s family? I’m not being sarcastic, I’m genuinely curious. Because if not then I can see why. On the same token his wife was very immature to try to start drama with Liam. She wanted a response so she could give Noel a reason to stay away from him in my opinion. Rich people are cunts, that’s something that both Noel and Liam would probably agree with. They just rarely are self aware of themselves being cunts.
In my opinion, best track of the fucking planet. Amazing song, when I listen to it, I want break everything in my fucking house, and I don’t know where this felling come from, thanks Mr. Noel Gallagher
Yeah. I remember as a kid being totally obsessed about how great the B sides were on these singles. Me and my mates would lend them to each other , oh and we would get high and listen to them. Oh those days.
100% we had it good mate, I wish we'd just sit back and taken it in better, now we just have it as an amazing hazy past. The B sides made oasis a better band than most
@@ghost_mall:... it was a hotchpotch of different ideas and inspirations, home life, John lennon quotes and one or two other things, none of which meant much to Noel. But when u hear it all put together. ... WOW!!!
The reason why I fell in love with this band is captured so perfectly by Noel when he said, “That makes Oasis what they are - is the fact that, y’know, you don’t just get to sit and listen to it on an album. There’s about another 12 tunes that you might have to go fuckin looking for.”
Lets face it, Oasis gave rock & roll a kick in the ass as every new response in the conversation needs to do. The on going reaction to what came before……this is art in general. Metal as a reaction to disco, disco to hard rock, glam to prog rock, grunge to glam, etc, etc. Oasis was the response to the grunge era. They were cocaine & booze in place of heroin, walking tall & with swagger in place of slouching with hair covering the face, rocking in place of punk, selling out stadiums & being proud to do so. The yin to the yang, the reaction to the action, a global conversation that never ends.
I don’t get these new oasis fans. Either hating Noel or Liam?! How can you hate either of them and like oasis?? Can’t you see they were both great together and there personalities were part of oasis. Imagine hating the songwriter of the band or the singer.
I don't think it's just the new fans. It's possible to like their music AND acknowledge both bros are complete idiots. This video shows how egotistical Noel is by completely excluding the rest of the band after 25 years. Liam constantly embarrasses himself with childish twitter outbursts. The best part about a reunion would be the touring which isn't likely to happen anytime soon. At least we can celebrate the past music.
I dont get it man! im a youngster, 21, Ive known of Oasis for years but only recently become completely obessed with them. liam is one of the best fucking vocalists of a generation and noel is one of the best song writers and arrangers ever and that ive ever heard. inspiring shit honestly. i cant fathom why people would dislike either of them. truly makes me sad that at this stage I and no one else will get to see them live.
TheMRMACHONACHO Noel’s songs still amaze me that this young Manc could write these anthems and he almost didn’t make it. And Liam was the best singer in the world for a period when he could give it his all when singing live and it to come out perfect was what made them so good live. He was up there giving everything and it made the crowd feel the same way. Hopefully they will get back for some gigs but hopefully soon while Liams voice is ok. But I don’t think they will Noel thinks it will not have the same magic and he’s probably right. But you never know if the fans are up for it it could be great for him the only time he will experience that sort of crowd again!
I've always been a Noel fan, though I've never hated/disliked Liam. I thought he had one of the greatest presences on stage. Though I'm starting to find Noel to be a bit grating now. I don't know if he's just embracing that grumpy middle-aged man phase, who likes to shit on everything.
Absolutely love watching / hearing oasis. Get a tingle up my spine, proper shot in the arm nostalgic hit! Love the Gallagher brothers, icons of my generation. Love ❤️ it!!!
Man, that was great! Thanks Noel and everyone involved in this! Even as someone who listens and loves their music since Wonderwall came out, there were still details Noel mentioned that I had never heard of. Really informative and funny as usual! It is how it is, in many ways Oasis are and always will be my most favorite, adored and beloved band of all time. I am incredibly grateful for all the healing their music gave to me and I hope to see them live on stage again some day soon.... (had the pleasure to see them 3 times and Liam solo in February shortly before Corona)
Same here. I just got into Oasis within the last year. I was vaguely aware of them in the 90's only because of the radio play of Wonderwall. I'm 51 now and can't get enough of their music.
So much good music out there, but sometimes it is all about the timing. Or disassociating it from all the bullshit or image/identity politics of the time allowed a clearer picture perhaps.
„Nothing is original. There’s only 12 notes anyway.“ What a great quote! 👍🏼Being a songwriter myself, I think I‘m literally gonna frame that one and put it over my piano. 😀
I was 14 when I got this album in 95. Funny to hear Noel mention how and why a 14 year old now would get into it. This album changed my life. I met my best mate bonding over it, it made me grow the fuck up and years later I met my missus and saw that this album was in her collection. Then I knew I made the right choice.
He’s damn right about the B-Sides. I recall shaking my parents house down with max volume playing Masterplan. Couldn’t get enough into my veins of that song.
I always love listening to Noel speak, as he's always interesting and has such strong opinions about his own (and other people's) music, whether positive or negative. For example, calling The Masterplan possibly the last of his great, culturally songs he's written is simultaneously "arrogant" to call one of his songs that, but also modest in thinking that it was his last such song.
OMG Some might say it's a masterpiece, a perfect rock and roll song with a rock and roll arritude. Love Oasis, saw them live twice in Buenos Aires in the 90s. Such a wonder
Wat an amazing album, such great times to be alive and in your mid 20s!!! And Dont Look Back In Anger is about as good a record as records get!!! Feckin AMAZING!!!
I phukn admire Noel's honesty on a world stage. It is what it is, and he tells it like it is. Other muso's wouldn't have the balls to be so honest about their music.
I love the 90s, I'm missing the 90s. Nostelga is hurting right now. I was working in virgin megastore when this album came out and I got to listen to it before it went onto public sale, I thought definitely maybe blew me away, then I heard wtsmg and then everything changed. You won't ever get a band like oasis again, well not in my life time anyway
The album didn’t make an impression on me first listen, after a few more listens it hit me like a ton of bricks. One of my favorite albums & period of time in my life. Nostagia is bitter sweet.
I'm with you pal... I miss the 90s so much... I'm 41, married with 4 kids and the 90s just transport me back to a time where I didn't have a care or responsibility in the world..
I remember hearing Wonderwall, first ever radio airplay on Steve Lemacq’s Radio1 Evening Session. I was 14, in my bed , listening on my Sony Walkman with headphones. I’d been a massive fan of Definitely Maybe. And my first impression was “it’s shit”… “Not rocking enough, and Liam’s voice is too high in the mix. “. A few weeks later I’m singing every track with my school mates, every day for the next year!
With you mate. I'm 50 now, great music, Euro 96, awesome summers, I worked the doors in clubs and pubs and all the football lads singing along to Oasis on a Saturday night was weird but cool. I remember breaking up with a girl I was crazy about and Some Might Say was charting at the time. Even now hearing it takes me back to that moment. Great time otherwise :)
just listened to the whole album again today from start to finish while taking a walk through the woods. it is not only oasis‘s absolute peak, it’s one of the finest records ever made. that final stretch of the album with cast no shadow, morning glory and champagne supernova, that’s some if the best 20 minutes in rock‘n‘roll history.
Youre so right. I remember how in america, people sort of backlashed against Oasis and even radio tuned them out.... Then we ended up with Matchbox 20, Creed and Nickelback. What a shitty trade. I've been pissed ever since. If my family mentions a new bands or a song, I immediately stop paying any attention

Words to live by.
and die by
‘Listening to Liam hit those high notes was like fucking hell’ is as close as they will ever get to an Oasis reunion.
Nice
Oscar Thorpe Thats kinda a back handed compliment too.
Let it go. It’ll be no where near as good as first time round.
I really hope they don`t get back together. I wont be anything like it was. Could end up like a "We are the 90s" party.
@@grua77 c'mon don't be like that. a lot of teenagers still love oasis.
“I’m not a genius, I’m just a fan of music”.
-Noel Gallagher, genius.
And people say he’s full of himself...
He’s ripped off so many tunes though. He’s definitely got an ear for music production.
Oasis may have not been as original as the artists who influenced them, but that doesn't mean they weren't better than most of them!
Checkout the crap he does now
@@timcomley3241 it's totally not crap. It's just your preference.

this album is so well sequenced

It happened a long ass time ago when he was high basically all the time.
Champaign Supernova is 7 minutes of musical heaven ♡ Noel forever.
"...turns out that at that time everything that I wrote was amazing".
- Noel Gallagher. Legend.
He never lacked confidence
To me, Don't look back in Anger is the most well rounded , solid, wholesome song of Oasis. Not too upbeat, not too melow, not too distortioned, you can sing/scream along, you can even freaking dance it if you want! It's the perfect yoga/union for all, and at the same time you cannot not feel that hits you. Great drumming , and solo, and probably the best thing to me is that means practically nothing, therefore could mean anything you want at that moment.
Thank you for this song, definitely in the songtrack of my life.🙏
It’s also got a beautiful lyrical mix of sounding somewhat profound but also like total nonsense.
Your comment is beautiful and insightful. Thank you for sharing!
Quite good commentary
Thank you all 🙏
To give a little more context of the worldwide impact of this song, I was born in Perú, in my 20s moved to USA, perhaps at this point in life, I'll be in Germany or somewhere in Europe, who knows, maybe Liverpool or even Manchester, will be nice to relive those days of the 90s in Peru and sing this anthem with you all 🙌
Godspeed ✌️

Whitey’s drumming on the album is superb. That and Liam’s voice accompanied by the songwriting make this an all time great.

I'm just a few years younger, but Oasis was the reason I picked up a guitar when I was 10 and the reason I'm still playing it 25 years later.
We are kindred spirits, my friend. Oasis were so much more than the "Beatles tribute act" they get derided as so much.
Noel’s solo’s were epic.
The Masterplan has always been my favourite Oasis song from the first moment I heard it.
Be fun to watch these for all of their albums even if they aren't celebrating an anniversary

Can listen to this guy talk about music all day. His own. Even better.
Cast No Shadow my favourite song, when the words are this good you don’t need a second verse!
One of the best bands of our time. It was an amazing era. Oasis, Blur, The Verve, Radiohead, Stone Roses... you just couldn't get enough of it
I used to read Oasis interviews to see if Noel would troll other British bands that I hadn’t heard of that I would immediately go and buy. Got into Cast, Embrace and Menswear that way lol
the last great era of rock music .. save for maybe the early 2000's, with bands like Strokes, White Stripes and Death Cab .. rock is dead unfortunately, sure there are great underground bands .. but rock is no longer the cultural juggernaut it used to be

@@overlook237menswear is different band from mansun

This is a rare album where almost every song is a winner.
And it’s still not a patch on Definitely Maybe. What a wild pair of albums
Only song I ever skip is Wonderwall, and that’s only because I’ve heard a drunk dude sing it at every party for the last 20 years.
Some might say, Wonderwall, dlbia, Champagne. 4 good songs, more than good actually. The rest are iconic because of the heights they reached at the time but rubbish. Cast no Shadow is ok

The fact that you're here because oasis is back
When you listen to albums like Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory, and Masterplan, you begin to worry about the mental wellbeing of the people who say Oasis were overrated.
It is really strange. Maybe jealous people?
Masterplan was an average album. Other two were amazing
@@murphyebass7837- Masterplan isn’t an album. Collection of b sides and no, it’s far from average
@@MrCostaC collection of average songs
We're probably not long off the whole wine sip reappraisal of them actually being Bloody Brilliant, Romanticised the Terraces or whatever the fuck. It shouldn't go full circle into them being underrated, but the whole "Yeah but they're just the Kinks aren't they?" thing has been played out for years by the same boring twats who would turn on a dime for Supersonic if it had a drum machine and some obscure samples on it. The whole "They only had one good album" think seems like a desperate overreach, too.
I’m from Greece and i was student in London back then (1995-1999).Some of the most beautiful memories of my life,i still remember all the hype...I love Oasis and even know when i hear "Live forever" from their first album i get emotional.Oasis for me are a flashback to my student years...”What’s the story morning glory” is one of the greatest albums ever.
Did you study sculpture at St Martin’s college by any chance ?
Do you have a thirst for knowledge?
I love Noel’s mixture of humbleness and self-confidence. ‘Yeah, I wrote that song and it’s awesome and culturally significant but I’m not a genius’.
Then says McCartney is a genius. McCartney who I believe once said ‘a good artist borrows; a great artist steals’.
And I’m fairly sure he nicked that line from Ray Charles!
Pablo Picasso is widely quoted as having said that “good artists borrow, great artists steal"
well, if you're going to steal. steal from the best. elvis, the beatles, the stones, the who, the kinks, jimi hendrix, johnny cash, bob dylan, floyd, clapton, zeppelin, bowie, bolan, roxy music, the velvets, kraftwerk, iggy pop, can, stevie wonder, marvin gaye, bee gees, fleetwood mac, neil young, the clash, joy division, the cure, depeche mode, omd, duran duran, michael jackson, george michael, prince, tina turner, whitney houston, the smiths, r.e.m., U2, the stone roses, gnr, metallica, slayer, juda priest, iron maiden, queen, nirvana, NIN, pearl jam, oasis, blur, suede, soundgarden, the strokes, queens of the stone age, 2pac, biggie, dr. dre, snoop, n.w.a., wilco, radiohead, bjork, pj harvey, ani difranco, fiona apple, sade... they all stole something but they all admit to stealing something. that's why they're awesome. well, most of them.
It’s all been done...It’s just about how you’re doing it.

Champagne Supernova is still my favourite song of all time. It's the only song that I can think of that hasn't aged for me and still gives me goosbumps.
i can't imagine that you've heard very many great songs, then. it is great, though
@@cl8804 songs hit different for people sometimes, might not just be the song but the memories associated with it.
Being a raver in the 90s, I was only half tuned into Oasis back then. I have always loved the brutal honesty of the Gallagher brothers and how “a spade is a spade” as far as they are concerned. As the years pass, you definitely realise how great Oasis were. Their songs are always great fun to sing when I’m pissed and funny enough, I tend to know all the words when spit them out at a high drunken level. I think Oasis sound as good today as they did back then and they have definitely left their legacy in British music.
It is obvious from their interviews over the years that Liam and Noel still hold respect for one another musically and admit they could not have achieved their success without one another. Regardless of all the stick he gives Noel, it is apparent Liam misses his brother and deep down he loves him. It’s a shame they can’t get bury their egos for one day and just talk as brothers about being brothers and put the music element aside. That really is the sad part of the Oasis legacy.
Same here pal. Raving was my thing in the 90s. But these were a great band. Realised it when I was in Aya Napa and the whole bar went crazy for “Don’t look back in Anger”.
Give me raving over Oasis any day. But always come back to these.
Quite possibly one of the best albums in rock'n'roll history. As I already told, arrange a reunion, a few gigs and a couple of decent new songs, and Oasis would take the world by storm once more. We need this to happen.
Noel is waiting till the cash out meets his preferred payment numbers. On the other hand gigs could happen but I doubt they’d head into the studio together. I wouldn’t want it to be just Liam, Noel and studio musicians anyways, at least get Gem and Andy Bell or Bonehead and Alan White. Hell even Zak Starkey .
@@SpecialAgentSamCooper Or Noel wants nothing to do with Liam as all he does is slag him and is family off on twitter
JJ because Noel acted like a snob...
@@cityfantv-everythingmancit2946 So acting like a snob means that its acceptable for someone to attack his family? Ok then...
JJ yes
Noel Gallagher is an incredible songwriter and Oasis should be up there with the greatest of all time.
I remember as a kid getting the album for Xmas and listening to it on headphones reading the words and looking at the pictures and being amazed! And now I’m still amazed! The songwriter of my times. What he does is genius whatever he says
"Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball." That song blows my mind even today. Looking at pictures of space, gobsmacked by the enormity of the universe, and those dust clouds. What color is that? Why it's champagne colored, somewhere between pink, red and purple. Yep, Liam G's whiney voice and Noel G's vision makes "What's the Story" so great.
champagne is pale gold colour, I've no idea what you've been looking at 🤔
@@lucasoheyze4597 let him riff man lol
I remember first ever hearing Oasis as a teenager, on MTV and it being late at night and having to write down the song name and artist. It was mid 90s no internet or streaming and having to catch a bus to get the single. They were simpler times but be a fan, took effort and dedication to get the albums. Oasis will be timeless
Every time I listen to this album (which is a lot) I change my mind on what song I like best.
Yid tit
Terry French wow nice one 👍
COYS
It's very difficult, isn't it? So many epic anthems on one album.
@@Revelian1982 I know and then you have the masterplan album that’s full off classics and that’s just B sides
Morning glory will always be an EPIC album. It always amazed me how Noel wrote so many great tunes in such a short time
Biblical album.
Noel is a legend, as are Liam, Bonehead, Guigsy and Whitey.
He's not a genius in terms of originality or musicianship, but there's just an undeniable melodic genius factor going on there.
Columbia! 3 Chords. Floors me to this day, how did he come up with that one?
Green Day do it
Kurt Noel liam all gods
NGHFB is a pop band 🤣🤣
@@auggiebendoggy I've heard on the Oasis Live4ever forum that Liam actually wrote Columbia and Noel took the credit.
I love Noel he is such an honest straightforward guy. He is a creative genius. As he says there’s nothing original everything is influenced by something else but it takes a genius to select from the cosmic creative library and put it into a new masterpiece!
I love Noel (and all oasis members) so much. The songs just mean the world to me x
Same
This is the highlight of my 2020
Mine too I've just bought wtsmg 25th anniversary edition silver vinyl on amazon! I've also just done a 3 day oasis binge n I'm still on said binge discovering more songs I've never heard n stuff I never knew! Like cocaine 2020s a helluva year!
He talked about HEY NOW. That's the first time I hear him talking about their best track ever.. it's a shame they never performed it live.
Such a shame, best verses in Oasis discography
My fave track too
Definitely underrated song
Unbelievable song.
Jesus christ Noel will you just do a tour... Have a separate bus, hotel, dressing suite... The world needs Oasis right now.
I like the idea of noel scanning through the comments seeing this and just thinking.....that’s not a bad idea 😂
Liam should have been involved...grow up boy's
Hell yea!
That's pretty much what was happenning in Oasis tours since DBTT
World needs Liam not this idiot...
"That's a great fookin' song... that's a great fookin line"... Love Noel and his humility. "-) What a champ
I just ordered the 25th anniversary vinyl. I’m from Poland and my daughter has just been born. In 25 years from now I will sit with her and we will have glass of whisky together and we will unpack the album and play it on mine gramophone 😀
Awesome!
@Paul In Kyushu I live in Poland
I love how Noel talks about the songs as though he doesn’t know he’s wrote it 😂
Because he never did.
Yes he did😂
Right on! Amazing😎
Cocaine!
buckomania emmmmmm
If a crowd can sing your song for you. You have made it
I absolutely love Oasis. They are one of my all time favorite bands. Keep bringing on the great tunes. Especially now. We really need more Oasis. ❤️🖤❤️
Noel for me is hands down one of the 3 best songwriters of all time! What an amazing words! Kudos!
Wonderwall is the first song i learned on guitar and to this day i still get chills when i hear the opening guitar, and the cello!
Noel, he has healed millions of people instead of doctors, with his songs. I’m one of them
Yet he chose not to heal his relationship with his brother
Redpill1410 😢
Redpill1410 ouch
Did Liam ever apologize for slagging off Noel’s family? I’m not being sarcastic, I’m genuinely curious. Because if not then I can see why. On the same token his wife was very immature to try to start drama with Liam. She wanted a response so she could give Noel a reason to stay away from him in my opinion. Rich people are cunts, that’s something that both Noel and Liam would probably agree with. They just rarely are self aware of themselves being cunts.
@@petchpm Its always easy looking in from outside, family rifts are hard to heal.
Hey now has always been underrated
Think if the last 2 minutes were chopped it would be rated a lot more highly. I always skip it after the solo and chorus straight afterwards
@@badgasaurus4211
You can't skip a song on this masterpiece
Shakermaker I don’t I skip the last 2 minutes because they are pointless
In my opinion, best track of the fucking planet. Amazing song, when I listen to it, I want break everything in my fucking house, and I don’t know where this felling come from, thanks Mr. Noel Gallagher
yeah killer tune, may be my fav on the entire album...
The transition to Champaign Supernova is legendary! I've literally had that track on all day and it made me hyperventilate n stuff.
Whether he knew it or not at the time, he was creating memories that would define a generation.
Yeah. I remember as a kid being totally obsessed about how great the B sides were on these singles. Me and my mates would lend them to each other , oh and we would get high and listen to them. Oh those days.
Totally agree mate. The B sides were just as good as the main song.
100% we had it good mate, I wish we'd just sit back and taken it in better, now we just have it as an amazing hazy past. The B sides made oasis a better band than most
Don’t look back in anger, my god. What a fucking masterpiece
ABSOLUTELY!!!
@@ghost_mall:... it was a hotchpotch of different ideas and inspirations, home life, John lennon quotes and one or two other things, none of which meant much to Noel. But when u hear it all put together. ... WOW!!!
The reason why I fell in love with this band is captured so perfectly by Noel when he said, “That makes Oasis what they are - is the fact that, y’know, you don’t just get to sit and listen to it on an album. There’s about another 12 tunes that you might have to go fuckin looking for.”
Lets face it, Oasis gave rock & roll a kick in the ass as every new response in the conversation needs to do. The on going reaction to what came before……this is art in general.
Metal as a reaction to disco, disco to hard rock, glam to prog rock, grunge to glam, etc, etc.
Oasis was the response to the grunge era.
They were cocaine & booze in place of heroin, walking tall & with swagger in place of slouching with hair covering the face, rocking in place of punk, selling out stadiums & being proud to do so. The yin to the yang, the reaction to the action, a global conversation that never ends.
I love his no nonsense attitude. He knows the songs he wrote are great and he says it. Noel for Prime Minister.
I don’t get these new oasis fans. Either hating Noel or Liam?! How can you hate either of them and like oasis?? Can’t you see they were both great together and there personalities were part of oasis. Imagine hating the songwriter of the band or the singer.
I don't think it's just the new fans. It's possible to like their music AND acknowledge both bros are complete idiots. This video shows how egotistical Noel is by completely excluding the rest of the band after 25 years. Liam constantly embarrasses himself with childish twitter outbursts. The best part about a reunion would be the touring which isn't likely to happen anytime soon. At least we can celebrate the past music.
I dont get it man! im a youngster, 21, Ive known of Oasis for years but only recently become completely obessed with them. liam is one of the best fucking vocalists of a generation and noel is one of the best song writers and arrangers ever and that ive ever heard. inspiring shit honestly. i cant fathom why people would dislike either of them. truly makes me sad that at this stage I and no one else will get to see them live.
TheMRMACHONACHO Noel’s songs still amaze me that this young Manc could write these anthems and he almost didn’t make it. And Liam was the best singer in the world for a period when he could give it his all when singing live and it to come out perfect was what made them so good live. He was up there giving everything and it made the crowd feel the same way. Hopefully they will get back for some gigs but hopefully soon while Liams voice is ok. But I don’t think they will Noel thinks it will not have the same magic and he’s probably right. But you never know if the fans are up for it it could be great for him the only time he will experience that sort of crowd again!
Boois Hoois agreed with you. Both of them are d**kheads but regardless we have to admit that they are absolute legends. 👏🏻
I've always been a Noel fan, though I've never hated/disliked Liam. I thought he had one of the greatest presences on stage. Though I'm starting to find Noel to be a bit grating now. I don't know if he's just embracing that grumpy middle-aged man phase, who likes to shit on everything.
Sitting on my bedroom floor listening to this in the 90’s... Mega
The Masterplan is possibly the greatest B side song in rock n roll history
Kieran - thats How soon is now mate.
Lamplight by The Bee Gees is up there as well.
the b side of abbey road?
@@bruhlollmao560 Album b sides don't count. But yeah, awesome bit of music the medley!
So so many contenders. Those b sides are on par with some of the greatest ever written a sides.
Absolutely love watching / hearing oasis. Get a tingle up my spine, proper shot in the arm nostalgic hit! Love the Gallagher brothers, icons of my generation. Love ❤️ it!!!
Noel you are a great songwriter and have written and recorded some of my favorite songs of all time.
Best album of all time. What a great time to be alive the 90s were. How times have changed
Man, that was great! Thanks Noel and everyone involved in this!
Even as someone who listens and loves their music since Wonderwall came out, there were still details Noel mentioned that I had never heard of. Really informative and funny as usual!
It is how it is, in many ways Oasis are and always will be my most favorite, adored and beloved band of all time. I am incredibly grateful for all the healing their music gave to me and I hope to see them live on stage again some day soon.... (had the pleasure to see them 3 times and Liam solo in February shortly before Corona)
I was 15 when this album came out and was having a bit of a tough time,listening to it was a real escapism for me.
25 minutes and 13 seconds of “I don’t remember writing that” but I’ve watched it 9 times. Awesome.
Noel is a genius, right there with the rest of them. It's not a compliment - it's just a fact.
Can someone explain to me why I was never an Oasis fan but in the last 10 years I've developed a man-crush on Noel? Bizarre. The guy's a genius.
Same here. I just got into Oasis within the last year. I was vaguely aware of them in the 90's only because of the radio play of Wonderwall. I'm 51 now and can't get enough of their music.
So much good music out there, but sometimes it is all about the timing. Or disassociating it from all the bullshit or image/identity politics of the time allowed a clearer picture perhaps.
„Nothing is original. There’s only 12 notes anyway.“ What a great quote! 👍🏼Being a songwriter myself, I think I‘m literally gonna frame that one and put it over my piano. 😀
I was 14 when I got this album in 95. Funny to hear Noel mention how and why a 14 year old now would get into it. This album changed my life. I met my best mate bonding over it, it made me grow the fuck up and years later I met my missus and saw that this album was in her collection. Then I knew I made the right choice.
Im 14 lol and I love this album and the band
Your missus has a record collection? There’s no hope for an oasis fan in the US
High five mate, I was 14 when i got this album in 95 too 👍
My 17 year old daughter has been totally inspired by Oasis, Floyd, MCR and now she's turning into quite the song writer.
i’m 14 and oasis are my favourite band
I love that song fuzzy he talks about. I listen to it regularly for years. Never did get the link though. Great interview. Love that guy
He’s damn right about the B-Sides. I recall shaking my parents house down with max volume playing Masterplan. Couldn’t get enough into my veins of that song.
Every track on the album is brilliant
No.
@Your Comment Gets A Gold Star Ok. Every track on the album is not brilliant. That make enough sense to you?
This will always be the most played album in my entire life
I always love listening to Noel speak, as he's always interesting and has such strong opinions about his own (and other people's) music, whether positive or negative. For example, calling The Masterplan possibly the last of his great, culturally songs he's written is simultaneously "arrogant" to call one of his songs that, but also modest in thinking that it was his last such song.
This is terrific. What a banger of an album, top shelf.
I bought it three times. Was a huge part of my life in the 90’s. Saw them in West Palm Beach and it was the best concert I’ve ever seen
You gotta love Noels sincerity and honesty !
The greatest. There will never be another . Every one remembers when they first heard oasis life goes by too fast
maestro, hiciste uno de los mejores albumes de la historia
Top chap hanged around them for a while in 1991-2 (as i worked in studios around liverpool)saw a few crazy nights out .great times
OMG Some might say it's a masterpiece, a perfect rock and roll song with a rock and roll arritude. Love Oasis, saw them live twice in Buenos Aires in the 90s. Such a wonder
This album is pure nostalgia, probably the best my ears will ever hear
Wat an amazing album, such great times to be alive and in your mid 20s!!! And Dont Look Back In Anger is about as good a record as records get!!! Feckin AMAZING!!!
Noel: *waves hand dismissively about Liam*
Also Noel keeping the balance, just ten minutes later: Liam's high notes were amazing... *modest smile*
I phukn admire Noel's honesty on a world stage. It is what it is, and he tells it like it is. Other muso's wouldn't have the balls to be so honest about their music.
INCREDIBLE!! Thank you for your time and service, Noel! You are truly one of the greatest.
I love the 90s, I'm missing the 90s. Nostelga is hurting right now. I was working in virgin megastore when this album came out and I got to listen to it before it went onto public sale, I thought definitely maybe blew me away, then I heard wtsmg and then everything changed. You won't ever get a band like oasis again, well not in my life time anyway
The album didn’t make an impression on me first listen, after a few more listens it hit me like a ton of bricks. One of my favorite albums & period of time in my life. Nostagia is bitter sweet.
I'm with you pal... I miss the 90s so much... I'm 41, married with 4 kids and the 90s just transport me back to a time where I didn't have a care or responsibility in the world..
Shit I'm crying..have a goosebumps which I can't control or relief
I remember hearing Wonderwall, first ever radio airplay on Steve Lemacq’s Radio1 Evening Session. I was 14, in my bed , listening on my Sony Walkman with headphones. I’d been a massive fan of Definitely Maybe. And my first impression was “it’s shit”… “Not rocking enough, and Liam’s voice is too high in the mix. “. A few weeks later I’m singing every track with my school mates, every day for the next year!
With you mate. I'm 50 now, great music, Euro 96, awesome summers, I worked the doors in clubs and pubs and all the football lads singing along to Oasis on a Saturday night was weird but cool. I remember breaking up with a girl I was crazy about and Some Might Say was charting at the time. Even now hearing it takes me back to that moment. Great time otherwise :)
Grant Lee Buffalo that Noel refers to... "Fuzzy" LP is a classic!
Rockin chair is an unbelievable tune 🙌
A truly iconic British album, by a truly iconic British band.
Them 10 B sides man! Fkn sensational.
Thanks for the memories lads.
God bless the 90s.
just listened to the whole album again today from start to finish while taking a walk through the woods. it is not only oasis‘s absolute peak, it’s one of the finest records ever made. that final stretch of the album with cast no shadow, morning glory and champagne supernova, that’s some if the best 20 minutes in rock‘n‘roll history.
Never be a band like this ever again 😞 we didn’t realise how blessed we were 🙏🏼
Don't think we will ever have that era of bands personally oasis, blur etc that era just had it you know something that's not been reproduced
We know now though. Oasis forever ♡
Least we can say we saw listened and moshed to the best
Youre so right. I remember how in america, people sort of backlashed against Oasis and even radio tuned them out.... Then we ended up with Matchbox 20, Creed and Nickelback. What a shitty trade. I've been pissed ever since. If my family mentions a new bands or a song, I immediately stop paying any attention
taggle waggle sorry but hate nickelback with a passion 👍
One of my favourite albums
Really wish they talked about Underneath the Sky. That’s one of their most underrated songs
nick anderson same
That was my favorite b-side of theirs for a long long time.
Me personally prefer def maybe to this album but there both absolutely fkin amazing
Gotta love that warbly guitar sound at the start
Great Video.
First two records were incredible. They were the kings of the B-Side. How it should be done.
Then they just started repeating.
I have read and listened to many many Noel interviews. This one has been great.
