- Everyone knows that Noel & Liam Gallagher are heavily influenced by The Beatles. But what exactly is it about Oasis's music that makes it sound so 'Beatle-ish'?

❗️CORRECTION: the song at 4:41 is ‘Whatever’ not ‘The Masterplan’. Thanks to “meg” for pointing that out.
@@465aj completely different chord progressions
He's right though, it's The Masterplan's chorus that has excactly same structure to Whatever's main riff. U 'll notice it if your playing Whatever's chords and start singin "Dance if you wanna dance.. etc." to it. It'll work.
Still think the author was a bit sloppy puttin the wrong title there in the video.
Aaron Jones well you’re wrong.
@@ChainNonSmoker Yeah should change that.
David Bennett Piano init haha
And the film Yesterday also spotted that in a world without the Beatles, Oasis doesn't exist either lol
I heard about that!
Yeah I thought that was pretty cool. Would've been even cooler if they had some oasis songs but understandable why they didnt.
@@IStarryZz It didn't make sense why he kept dreaming Wonderwall, I thought he was gonna sing that to the main girl at the end
Bit silly that considering there was only really supersonic with any beatle reference in the 1st album. Oasis were more like slade n the sex pistols on the 1st album. Pretty sure there wudda been an oasis, Noel wudda just ripped somebody else off for 2nd n 3rd album. There's a lot of pink Floyd in there that people don't pick up on
SUPERNOVA without Beatles no oasis because Liam would have never started singing, and he was the one who formed the band in the first place
*fairly easy deduction:*
*they sound like the Beatles because that's exactly who they wanted to sound like*
Gerry Berry ok boomer
Gerry Berry piss off would ya
I shit you not, I read the title and my out-loud response was: “because they wanted to...?”
@Gerry Berry I don't think they "sound like the beatles" either. I think they sound like they deliberately lifted riffs, melodies and harmonies from the beatles and made them less interesting and tried to pass them off as their own. Pretty shameful really.
Gerry Berry 😁😁😁
What makes Oasis sound like The Beatles?
- Their haircuts.
That wouldn't make them sound like the beatles... you can't hear hair...
@@h4rri3tt woosh
This is the first thing I thought too...but you have to include eyebrows....
No similar at all drummer had a perm and rhythm guitarist was near bald for god sakes and look at Liam’s and guigsys aswell only one similar at all is noel
Harriet Thompson r/woooosh
Love this guy. Straight to the point. No dillydallying
Cheers 😊
Same
Excellent cuz
Dillydallying??? Do you mean, "waste of time"? (gilberto lehrer - brazil)
Word to the point
Oasis is for 90s music what Tarantino was for 90s cinema. Both reference and pay homage to the artists that inspire their art, and doing so, they created something really unique
exactly what I was thinking lol
@@thebasedgodmax1163 name me a band/ artist that were/are truly original and didn't rip anyone off?
Everyone is inspired by something, okay, but Oasis took it to ridiculous extremes. It's not just the Beatles they plundered, either. As for Noel Gallagher's "the Beatles were just doing what the Shirelles were doing five years before" - that could be the most idiotic thing he's ever said, and there's some stiff competition for that.
See great artists steal oasis copy it's not a homage it's just a rip off
You're wrong if you think Quentin pay homage to other artists.
Up in the Sky sounds very very similar to Rain.
What in the all living hell are you doing here
Map men, map men, map map map men men men
Hello Paper Back Writer mate?
I've noticed the beatles mentioned from you but I didn't expect to see you here
That's true but when are you putting out new music again?
Feel like Oasis ends up sounding a bit darker/warmer
And the Beatles sound brighter/upbeat
Thank you for mentioning lawsuits getting out of control. People should be allowed to be influenced by other music was the perfect way to say it.
A popular comparison is saying Oasis is cocaine and The Beatles are LSD
@@joshthurlow11 Or a Beatles tribute band for 90s car thieves.
@@elvisleeboy Ladies and gentlemen, we found an oasis hater
@@joshthurlow11 No, we don't, so your comment is meaningless.
Both of them sound melancholic, but the lyrics of oasis are muuuch better. Noel used to be a genious.
0:52 No joke, Don't look back in anger came on the radio and I thought it was Imagine
"Don't Look Back" is a much better song in my opinion. And Lennon hardly invented the I-IV chord change anyway. It's in a million songs, a musical cliche.
@Marvin Morawski For sure! I thought the same as the OP when I first heard it (the day the album was released) but quickly forgot because I thought the entire album was a depressing, boring mess compared to everything they released to that point. Swap almost every track from the album with literally every b-side from the album's four singles, and you have one of the greatest records ever made. ;)
@@Johnny-lr5jt Agreed, don’t look back in anger is far superior. Every section is better
@@Johnny-lr5jt I don't really like imagine much either
Lol. In 2019 they would’ve get sued by using C and F chords.
NO KIDDING. It's so disappointing.
@@brianwalendy3735 The melody was obviously a rip off. I used to laugh at Oasis when they became successful because they wanted to be as big as the Beatles (which is impossible) so badly they just blatantly copied them. Also hated their obnoxious personalities.
I mean they change it enough that I wouldnt call it copying. Ice ice baby on the other hand...
Ice Ice Baby is sampling, which is totally different
@@MICKEYISLOWD Oasis aren't blatantly copying Beatles, they are inspired by them, there's a huge difference
All Around The World is a very Beatles influenced song, and the video is basically Yellow Submarine
you are basing that on the videos being similar they sound nothing alike
@@raycroalnothing at all
hey jude
And don't forget the latest part,
Na na na nanana na naa na na nanana
...and Hey Jude:
Naaa na na nananana nananana
Plus reprise versión at the end of CD
@Rudy Overlord but hey jude doesnt have key changes ..and its a blues tonic to it..which that song doesnt have..
Oasis used to literally sing Octopus’s Garden during Whatever during concerts
Yeah but that was just them covering it they didn't claim it was theirs.
Although, saying that I never realised how much 'I Am The Walrus' sounds pretty similar to another Beatles song.
@@tomfinn8954 xD what a idiot
@@tomfinn8954 ringos song
@Marvin Morawski shaker maker barley sounded like that coke commercial. Lol
Yep, remember being 11 at their 10 years of noise and confusion gig in Glasgow and wondering where the fuck Octopus's Garden came from!
TH-cam generated the subtitles and understood “the wasters” instead of “Oasis” 😂
I see no coincidence here
Fun fact... "Don't look back in Anger" is also a nod to David Bowie's "Look back in Anger" recorded in 1979. Oasis cited in interviews that he was another major influence, and that this song has a "All the young dudes" (another song Bowie wrote) feel to it.
Noel also plays an electric guitar riff in the song which is identical to ‘all the young dudes’ it’s present through the whole song but really audible in the last chorus and bridge 👍
Liam Gallagher is literally the biggest fan of John Lennon, so yeah it’s gonna be similar 😂
Malcolm OSX even noel gallagher was a biggest john lennon fan he write the song.
Shirley Knot Liam literally loves John Lennon, he’s said so many times
Billy Idol and Ozzy Osbourne are both HUGE Lennon fans as well, to just name a couple more.
@@duffbaker9554 John is the fucking most influential musician of all time some of the most successful and famous musician was influence by john like
Liam and Noel Gallagher
Ozzy Osbourne
Kurt cobain

Freddie mercury
yea he also named his kid after johns last name lennon
the song at 4:41 isn’t the masterplan, it’s ‘whatever’
meg oh bugger, well spotted! I mislabelled the clip. I’ll pin a correction. Thanks!
David Bennett Piano no worries! great video :)
Although The Masterplan has some nice strings too.
shut up meg
@@its_only_abel no u nigga
The drum loop at 3:08 actually reminded me more of Ticket to Ride than Tomorrow Never Knows.
True
Yes,exactly!
same
I agree
I feel ye. And I've always thought the verse drum parts on Fleetwood Macs' 'Go Your Own Way', has a similar feel too!
I’m surprised Yoko hasn’t slapped them with a lawsuit.
She is too savvy for that. She knows imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and that many people will go and seek out the originals and become John and Beatles fans. She even invited Liam to see her at the dakota
nickdryad she's a gold digger
@@blondeboy9288 For a billionaire, she mined quite well. (struck gold with Lennon, is more like it).
Yoko did break up the Beatles, don’t know why you angry left wing bros can’t understand that.
@Marvin Morawskithere are none. I remember some clown saying that whatever ripped off strawberry fields forever lol. What a load of rubbish.
Oasis is proof that the beatles will be great in any era
The intro reminds me of when some people think Imagine is by The Beatles 😂
well, 'Imagine' is by 𝘢 Beatle

@@DavidBennettPiano so it's ok to keep this kind of people confused?
I would have put that example towards the end of the video...
@@MachiavellisThePrince ...and in Yoko.
@@aheendwhz1 beat me to it 😁😁. That's reality.
The Beatles had very different and varied approaches to their songs, while Oasis was a pretty straight-ahead guitar-heavy band. But Oasis was definitely influenced heavily by the Beatles, and they never denied it. Love both bands.
Oasis was always paying homage to The Beatles. They never made it a secret that they were massive Beatles fans.
Oasis took the Beatles sound and developed their own take on it and made it completely their own.
The Oasis music from more than 25 years ago still holds up and will be timeless in much the same way the Beatles music is.
Some music, you just never grow tired of listening to. The Beatles and Oasis are perfect examples of that.
Oasis and every single rock band is influenced by The Beatles
Even Queen!
What about The Beatles? They don't exist in a vacuum.
I love the beatles but they didn't invent rock and roll.
nooneknows and no they invent an entirely new genre
Influenced is fine but is copying actual parts of songs and styles? Still they made loads of money out of it so that’s ok.
@@duchess5218 yeah pop rock
Noel's song writing philosophy must be "start with a 5 second section of a Beatles song and then the rest falls into place."
This just made me realize how brilliant the Beatles actually were.
Led Zeppelin = MC2
As if you couldn't tell simply by listening?
So many good facts, here. Gosh, look at Liam and Noel’s hair when they started in Oasis. So Beatle-ish. And Zak Starkey drumming for them. Ringo’s kid. 🎸🥁🎤
Their hair was really a Ramones reference
Zak also drummed for The Who. Oasis' music is less varied than The Beatles and sounds very similar as Noel's High Flying Birds, The Beatles sound evolved a lot and they were much more creative musically and fashion wise, they also had better voices, Liam's sounded shot last time I heard him sing or try to. If they were so similar to the Beatles as many claim like this video, I'd like their music much more than I do, their songs were influenced by other 60's and 70's bands like The Kinks and Slade that's what BritPop was all about and was clearly started by Suede not Oasis. Oasis, Pulp, Shed Seven, Cast, Blur, they all had some good songs and hits, Oasis triumphed more in sales but they are clearly over-rated and have been overhyped by the media.
If only the idiot court system could understand what you say at 6:30
Those that think the court systems stupid are usually too stupid to understand it. It’s literally built by lawyers who are the smartest and greatest debators yet some schoolchildren on the internet have it all figured out.
@@Beamboy555 Study this case and then come back and tell us how smart the justice system is on the issue of music copyright. th-cam.com/video/0ytoUuO-qvg/w-d-xo.html Your argument is like saying "muggers are brilliant ... and morally justified" because they're really good at whacking you over the head and stealing your wallet.
Yeh bean genius lawyers they may be but trained musicologists they are not. Should call in the experts for relevant cases.
@@somaticjet2717 The problem is that the expert witness they used in the first Dark Horse trial (Todd Decker) is crook who receives expert witness cash for making disingenuous arguments that are threatening to turn all songwriting into a cash cow for predator lawyers who have no morality or musicality. (music.wustl.edu/people/todd-decker) Listen to the Adam Neely video linked above (or the Rick Beatto one). That copyright suit is obscene. Others that are almost as bad are the silly Taurus/Stairway to Heaven one (Henry Purcell should be the plaintiff in that one - or at least Richard Rodgers!) and of course the ridiculous out of court settlement that the holder of Chuck Berry's copyrights won against John Lennon for starting come together with an homage quote. The whole thing is deeply evil.
@@Beamboy555 The best response to this is in the Aussie TV show Rake, where the guy routinely and successfully defends ridiculously guilty clients. When challenged he says something like "You're wrong! I care deeply about the law, I just don't care about justice" (this being after he got a cannibal off). These copyright lawyers are very much cannibals.
“...and all the roads that lead the way are winding.” From wonderwall is also a reference to the long and winding road
Oasis’ “The Shock Of The Lightning”
...love is a litany / a Magical Mystery ...
yep, that one, i knew there were more, also the 'gonna start a REVOLUTION from my bed, double wammy there.....
I´m a Beatles fan and I love Oasis.
Anyway, a lot of fans of The Beatles despised and some still despise Oasis because of that big lie of "Oasis is a copy of The Beatles"
The excuse ? It´s always the same: the intro of Don´t Look Back In Anger.
Oasis put in their melodies some "touches" of Lennon&McCartney melodies, but they always had their OWN SOUND.
If somebody is going to listen to Oasis for the first time thinking he´ll listen to a "new version of The Beatles" he´ll get a big surprise when he listens to Definitely Maybe.
I don´t understand why a lot of people put Oasis in an underrated place because they think "they copied or stole from The Beatles" when that´s not true.
Those of us that belong to the Oasis generation, saw them live and bought their records, know very well it was not like that.
Some tribute to The Beatles in some lyrics ? Maybe.
Some arrangements ? Maybe.
But Oasis WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE OASIS, they were not at all a copy of The Beatles.
VINYLBEATLES well said
VINYLBEATLES. Think it's time you invested in a hearing aid.
To me, Oasis sounded a bit like the Beatles, only in their album Morning Glory. The rest of the albums, they have their own sound.
Oasis' music is less varied than The Beatles and sounds very similar as Noel's High Flying Birds, The Beatles sound evolved a lot and they were much more creative musically and fashion wise, they also had better voices, Liam's sounded shot last time I heard him sing or try to.

'Love is a litany, a magical mystery'
Oasis - 'The Shock Of The Lightning'
Oh yes. I forgot that one. Also sing a song for me one from let it be from Be here now, I'd like to be under the Sea from Take me away and Go let it out go let it in is like Hey Jude
Shakermaker all great songs
'The fool on the hill and I feel fine'. An actual Oasis lyric
Damn that song is such a banger
I literally just realised that I’m pretty sure Yesterday the film takes a dig at Oasis. As when the main character types in the Beatles they do not exist and then the same with Oasis. Suggesting that Oasis wouldn’t exist without the Beatles
Steven Bailey not a diss, just a little dig 🤒
E. Segovia yes but suggesting something like that is always a dig
Oasis and The Beatles are my two favourite bands! I was happy to see this in my subscription feed!
Jesus, discover more bands. Oasis shouldn't be anybody's favourite.
Which bands do you suggest then?
@@ihvha29 Why, because you said s-o? Fuck off!
l I you’re really close minded aren’t you
@@ihvha29 get over it, people have different opinions than you
Great vid. I think Noel is a genius in his own right. We all need influences. There is a Beatles reference in the song Be Here Now. 'Sing a song for me, one from Let It Be'
Forgot about “Free As a Bird” and “Let There be Love”
Produced by Jeff Lynne who's music is way more Beatlesque Oasis will ever be. I just don't get the comparison . Except for a piano intro on one song!
Free As A Bird is an original John Lennon song, adapted by the surviving members of the beatles for the anthologies.
@@littlekicks5911 yes it was the original John Lennon vocals matched with the 3 surviving Beatles who played in the studio 30 years later. All blended together and produced inbtye studio by Jeff Lynne.
I don't think John sounds anything like Nat King Cole????????????????????
They don't really sound like The Beatles. They sound like they WANT to sound like The Beatles.
@Luke Guess that's your opinion, but I see it differently. McCartney's musical genius alone, whether in composing, arranging, or performing, dwarfs Oasis.
How many legendary musicians rave about the ground-breaking innovation, influence, and creative brilliance of Oasis?
Objectively speaking, one group has a legacy that reaches far beyond their time and genre, and the other has the Gallaghers. Really no comparison at all, IMO.
@Luke take Michael Stipe out and listen to Peter Buck's melodies. You'll see some Oasis there. But REM is heavy influenced by Yardbirds and Neil Young :)
What’s so good about that statement is that’s how basically every artist finds their own sound- by trying to sound like their favourite artist/band and failing, therefor creating what is their ‘sound’
Yeah exactly
Oasis blowz
One thing I missed in your explanation was the use of cadences. For example, for lack of a better term, I call it “sharpening the dominant chord”. For example, if a song is in C Major, a normal cadence would be F>G>C, but Beatles would sometimes go F>G#>C. Another example exists, which I’ll call “Majoring the Dominant-Parallel”. If the song is in C Major, the dominant parallel would be E Minor, but the Beatles would play it as E major. Eg C>E>F>G>C (all major). These cadences can be heart often in oasis music also.
5:58 "sing a song for me, one from let it be" from be here now
On that same album the song "D'ya Know what I mean" has the line: 'Fool on the hill and I feel fine'. BRILLIANT!!!!
zzyzx00 and George Harrison has a song called “be here now” and album called “Wonderwall Music” and David Bowie has a song called “look back in anger”
Sing a song do it now, one from be here now
A thing that makes them special is they have a "mirage" sound in some songs:
'gas panic'
'shock wave'
'let's all make believe'
Great video, and something I've noticed looking back was how the 90s kinda brought back that classic sound, as opposed to the more "electronic" sound and reverb snares of the 80s. Also not a bad band to be influenced by at all!
Great analysis. Keep up the good work.
Thanks :)
God bless you. What a great video with a great point you made about influences of music and the ongoing conversation through the generations on into the future. It’s beautiful shouldn’t be in the court
thank you!
Who Feels Love has a guitar part which is similar to Lucy In The Sky’s intro. Furthermore, the vocals reminisce to Rain’s inverted coda. Thank you very much for your videos, I am learning a lot with them
Oasis also made reference to the Beatles album, Magical Mystery Tour, in the lyrics to "Shock Of The Lightning"
"Love is a time machine,
Up on the silver screen,
It's all in my mind,
Love is a litany,
A MAGICAL MYSTERY,
And all in good time,
And all in good time,
And all in good time"
Amazing video! I just think I spotted an error, at 4:46 I believe those strings are from the song Whatever? cheers!
yeah, somebody else has already spotted that! I've pinned a correction. Thanks for the comment though.
@@DavidBennettPiano Thanks for your videos man! keep the great work!
To me, the most obvious influences of Oasis are:
Stone Roses
Beatles
SLADE
Sex Pistols
Neil Young
La's
Stones
T-Rex
And then you can see things of great musicians here and there, from electronica, from soul music, from punk, folk or whatever they were listening in that moment but the core of their music is inspired, in my opinion, by these musicians and made in their very own way.
The influence of the Beatles is huge but it's not the only one, I guess the image, the whole references in lyrics, the fact that they mentioned them all the time and a handful of songs very beatleesque (Up in the sky, whatever, don't look back in anger, roll with it...) did the rest to oversize the debts.
You forgot The Kinks, they rip off a lot from them.
The chord changes in the bridge of Listen Up are exactly the same to the Beatles It Won’t Be Long. I don’t know if anyone else has ever picked that up
Two great bands and The Beatles are a product of all of their predecessors just like every other band.
The Beatles & Oasis, two of the most greatest musical bands ever. Timeless music.
beatles are leagues above oasis
while my guitar gently weeps with no bass and drums is so cursed
I don't think of Oasis as sounding like the Beatles. I understand their influences but to me, it's two different things.
Similarity to The Beatles even in the name - William John Paul Gallagher.
His son's name is Lennon
no digas mamadas
Yes of course! Paul McCartney, John Lennon and William Shears
Wow
I enjoyed watching this well done mate 👍
Don’t forget the piano part to the build up to chorus in “I’m outta time”. Definitely has to be taken from “a day in life”
Do u reckon the line “tomorrow never knows what it doesn’t know to soon” in morning could reference to the song tomorrow never know by The Beatles? 🤔
Oh my god, and they use guitars aswell... BASTARDS!!
I know, but Oasis hasn’t made ONE original song
@@paulmccartneystoenail4897
I know they haven't made only one original song, they've made loads!!
Thanks for your enthusiasm!!
@@paulmccartneystoenail4897 shut up
Wayne Catlin they really haven’t made ANY original songs, if that’s how literal you want to be
daithifleming ooooh he’s feisty
Noel Gallagher's second album with High Flying Birds begins "Something in the way she moves me to distraction". The entire tune ks very reminiscent of late-era Beatles
More like a rockier version of The La's
the book called "The Songwriting Secrets of The Beatles by Dominic Pedler" lists a few examples of musical influences on Oasis, and perhaps more interesting that just 'direct lifts'.
For example: The opening lines on Hey Jude and Live Forever are the same intervals. The Triple Fourth root movement used in the harmony on Wonderwall is the same as a few songs of that time, not just The Beatles, but in particular used in Here Comes the Sun, and A Day In the Life.
The book also makes the reference not to get too hung up on the direct piano riff lift on Dont Look Back On Anger from Golden Slumbers/Imagine, but that the vocal melody is similar to Manfred Mann's Pretty Flamingo.
Your videos are absolute gold
Thank you! That means so much :)
Just found your videos yesterday, really good stuff man.👍
I'm sure somebody already pointed it out, but "all around the world" is a clear example. The part of "these are crazy days but they make me shine" seems written being inspired by Lucy in the sky with diamonds, the video and general vibe of the song are yellow submarinish and the last lalalalala sang by Noel was clearly going for the la la la lalala form hey jude.
“The Beatles were just doing what The Shirelles were doing five years before them” might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
Maybe you're not aware of Noel Gallaghers personality, he would say stuff like that for the laughs
The Beatles recorded The Shirelles 'Baby It's You' and 'Boys' for their first album
Deborah Cross Yeah they made covers in the early years but to say The Beatles were JUST doing what The Shirelles were doing five years earlier made that guy look like an idiot
Hmmm, So what Shirelles song were the Beatles doing when they did Within you and without you? Or Helter Skelter? Or Magical Mystery Tour, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Benefit of Mr. Kite, Octopuses garden, Dear Prudance, Rocky Raccoon, Penny Lane, Fixing A hole and nearly everything else...I love the Shirelles but You can't compare post 1965 Beatles starting with Rubber Soul...That changed music forever...Pfft, the shirelles...LOL...Get a brain...
@@godbluffvdgg apart from penny lane and LSD, the other songs were crap nursery rhymes.
Great video
The beginning of She's Electric always remind me of the beginning of Good Day Sunshine
Another lyric one in Fade in-out: 'Get on the helter skelter' (might just be a common expression though, I'm not English).
"What makes Oasis sound like The Beatles?"
A vivid imagination!
I know, they sound nothing like them whatsoever. This videos complete nonsense.
Morning Glory: To me, this album sounded closer to the Beatles. The others, not so much.
An ear infection
Cloudburst intro is also influenced by the Stone Roses standing here
Which is nothing to do with The Beatles. This is similarities to do with The Beatles.
standing here is fucking brilliant, the heavy hendrix like first half and the glorious simon and garfunkel like second half, the outro is magical.
Wilderness Void yeah I know but they are both class songs
jayjay66111 it is a great song
Oasis are heavily influenced by the Beatles, so naturally that is going to manifest itself in their music.
I don't see it as plagiarizing or ripping off the Beatles.
There are similarities in certain songs, but it's a subconscious thing on the part of the songwriter.
He's simply expressing himself and creating his own thing based on the music that he was influenced by that came before him.
Oasis has some Beatles in their songwriting DNA.
Noel Gallagher was sued by Neil Innes for "Whatever". Innes wrote all the songs in the Rutles film. The irony - a man who stole Beatles songs was sued by a man who stole Beatles songs for a living, lol
John Lennon himself stole a lot from the Motown guys.
He stole did he? His whole back catalogue, or just his Beatle work? Be specific
The Beatles were master synthesists. They loved American rock n roll and rnb so much, they were true fans who loved the b-sides and more obscure tunes, not just the obvious hits. They were lucky to be from Liverpool as it was famously the only place in England that had such a heavy rock n roll presence from America as opposed to other port cities in England. They were clearly influenced by a ton of music, but they never outright stole. They drew inspiration and added their own twist on it. Take “Love Me Do”, which was inspired by the song “Hey Baby” by Delbert McClinton. It’s similar but still original. They were clearly influenced by Bob Dylan on “Hide Your Love Away” but while its an obvious homage, it’s still not a straight rip off. Even their Fleetwood Mac homage which clearly channels “Albatross” isn’t a direct copy.
Oasis on the other hand are fucking hacks. Literally copying the riffs with no transformation. That shit is lame.
inspired by..... the term is inspired by.....
I saw one recent interview with Paul, he says he and John saw Elvis and were fascinated by him and wanted to sound like that.
@@AABB-zb6dv borrowed from Little Richard too.
'An ongoing conversation over generations"...me likey! Nicely put.
i love David Bennett, he was so clever and straight to the point for explaining things, that's what a teacher should it be
Oasis literally copied chords, vocals, sounds, ryhthms, styles, from different The Beatles' songs
Oasis is a great band !!!
The Beatles...the best band!
Falling Dream drumbeat reminds me of Clocks by Coldplay. Did they borrow from the Beatles too?
I love the Dig Out Your Soul album!
Cool topic!
I was about to be mad about the stolen chord progressions from While My Guitar Gently Weeps but then I remembered that the Beatles had some stolen riffs, too. Hell, even George's most famous solo song (My Sweet Lord) is lowkey stolen. A wise man once said, "It's hard to be original when there's only 12 notes in the world."
The Chiffon’s: He’s So Fine
George Harrison: yeah, but what if it had like a lot more hare krishna
And live forever it's because Noel was listening Exile on Main St., and the melody it's from Shine a Light. "From the goodtimes..." and "Maybe".
"Sing a song for me, one from let it be." - Be Here Now, refrence to Let it be, a beatles album.
I love Oasis so much, they are my favourite band. And the fact that they are linked to the Beatles so heavily makes them even better because the Beatles are one of my favourite bands as well and they are both so popular! The similaritie I recognised the most between the two bands is the guitar riff in The Hindu Times which sounds alot like the sitar in Within You Without You, both amazing songs!
Can you do a segment on how ethnic music uses scales
One Beatles reference I noticed right away was the oasis song be here now, because he can hear the backwards vocals of that throughout and then you hear the backwards guitar solo at the end which I think is great.
The "If I Needed Someone To Love" riff in the beginning of 'Roll With It'
1:26 the melody is the same as a melody on A Car A Torch A Death by twenty one pilots
0:49 second bar at the end-those three notes. Am I the only one who wants to hear 4 notes? -It's been like fingernails on a blackboard since THE FIRST time I heard this song!
Very well done video
The end short guitar solo in " don't look back in anger" sounds like any Beatles song
I think the song ‘Don’t look back in anger’ really stands out because of one chord: the E major chord in both verse and chorus. When I first heard the song, that’s what drew my attention immediately. It lends the song so much more depth and power than it would, it gone to an E minor or G major chord, and I don’t think any writer except Noel would have thought of that chord. Sorry, not an obvious Beatles comparison, but I thought an interesting point. It is also reminiscent of Pachelbels’ Canon.
"What makes Oasis sound like The Beatles?" - Nothing, really. Except for when they directly rips them off. Which they did, as this video proves, despite what you are saying.
Savage, but true.
Well said
This video doesn't prove that all, he even says that himself at the end, try watching the actual video you're commenting next time
@@leob4403 Oh, look, a die hard Oasis fan.
Remember how Noel put all these Beatles song title references in Be Here Now?
The diminished chord in the pre-chorus of Don't Look Back In Anger always reminds me of the Beatles.
the song doesn't have any diminished chords
It's an E7/G#
7:14 the Beatles never invented nothing????? Im an Oasis fan but come on Noel, he must av ad to much coke that interview
steve ash lmao the beatles copied black Americans music o wait thats the British Invasion
Actually Steve, Noel is correct, "The Beatles never invented nothing." They invented everything!
@@dannyanime3468 Yes, at first they did. But then they put that together with other things and INVENTED something new.
WhatAWorld lmao like what abbey road is a RNB album
not sure if anyone's picked up on this one yet, but the "Nah Nah Nahs" in "All Around The World" sound relatively similar to the ones in "Hey Jude* if u isolate the vocals
Surprised not to her mention of Neil Innes - who wrote a pastiche of Imagine called 'How Sweet to be an Idiot'; Oasis apparently heard that song and wrote 'Whatever' - in fact, it was such an obvious steal, that Neil successfully sued Oasis and is now credited as a writer of that song...... Neil Innes was in The Rutles with Eric Idle (of Monty Python) whose film The Holy Grail was rescued by George Harrison when he bankrolled it......... George appearing in one of their films..........
Tomorrow Never Knows OR Ticket To Ride.
You know Imagine isn’t a Beatles song right?
I'm sure he does. That isn't the point.
The point is that an Oasis song is obviously influenced by a song from a former Beatle.
It's just needlessly pedantic to clarify that.
THANK YOU. I just searched through the comments for 5 minutes JUST for this comment.
Back when I first heard Oasis, I thought they sounded like the Beatles but didn't know why. Thanks for breaking it down for me :)
4:35 correction: that is Whatever playing and it was released in 1994 but it says The Masterplan and that was released in 1995
Well researched.
