  • Join James Hargreaves to examine every backwards part Oasis recorded, from the first album to the last, and hear what they sound like forwards!
    Apologies for the weird noise at 08:04 - I couldn't get rid of it for some reason.

    Can't believe Oasis never took the chance to play a "Paul is dead" clip backwards...with Noel's cheekiness I would have thought they would've slipped something like that in somewhere!

      Looks like James is still afraid of playing the Beatles backwards. He might find that "All Together Now" says "I Buried Paul".

    I’ve always wondered what the backward lyrics are in the DYKWIM? outro, love all the crazy sound effects and layers upon layers of guitars in that song. Can’t wait for some content on the song, definitely one of my favourites!

    10:58 - On the cassette version the B side starts with the slow backwards effect. I think it meant to freak you out that the deck is eating your brand new tape... or at least that's how I reacted :)

    God bless you James, the origin of the sample before Some Might Say has been bugging me for 25 years.. I even tried submitting that as a question to Noel as part of the WTSMG anniversary video last year, but alas it wasn’t selected. Great job!

    The f*ckin hell in Some Might Say is taken from the start of the demo version which Noel sings. It's included on the Japanese version of the single.

    In my oppinion, Flashbax whistling solo is not reversed. The "reversed" version that you show in the video actually sounds more reversed than the original one...you know what I mean? Yeah yeah....the echo definitely sounds weird as you say but it must be a production trick. Great video!!

Also on The Shine On John Lennon Gig, when The Phonics, Noel n Gem did I'm Only Sleeping!! He even played that live Too!! Quality!! Also it's Johnny Marr on Probably All In The Mind and Born On A Different Cloud!! Thanks Again James

    Personally I had no idea that any of it was backwards. Shows that if you’re not that good at listening, or perhaps wasn’t at all aware of certain tricks, you are less likely to detect them as backwards...

    More beatles influences. Don't get me wrong I like a lot of oasis tracks. They spearheaded a great time in music what was called britpop from the middle of the '90s to the end of the '90s. Oasis, the verve, blur, ocean colour scene, pulp, cast, kula shaker. There was always some good music being released. A very good time in my life.😊

    In the reversed version of your clip, you can hear how the whisteling ends awkwardly. Seems that Flashbax has some kind of gate or limiter, IMHO

    Oasis was a decent rock band but I don't think they were as big in the US as they were in England. I think some Brits think they were bigger than they actually were. The weren't like the Beatles or Nirvana. I did like them but those brothers were idiots fighting all the time. Made them seem like some idiot football fans that share a brain. I hope they finally grew up.
