BRIAN GARCIA: The World's #1 Oasis Collector Shares 10 Super-Rare Items 

I once told Brian: if you set up a museum with this collection, anywhere, I would do my best to see it up close!

Rumors say Brian has just purchased the helicopter from the D'You Know What I Mean video

Absolutely amazing collection. I met Oasis on August 9th 1996. Myself and my mate (in a band together) got under the fence at Knebworth whilst the band were soundchecking on the Friday afternoon. On the documentary that came out last year there's a brief bit where myself and friend can be seen leaning on the fence at the stage front watching the band play. We got a chance to chat to Noel and Liam and Liam even "treated us" to a ride hanging on the back of the golf buggy he was zooming about on. Sadly this was before camera phones and widespread Internet use. We had no evidence that this amazing afternoon occurred until that documentary came out. Noel was buzzing around the arena on a Vespa. John Squire was also there. They played Champagne Supernova to an audience of about 50 people and really jammed out at the end. It was bloody amazing. I wish I'd known how generous these guys are, I would've certainly asked for a memento or even to have a go on Alan's drums. As 15 year olds in a band in 1996 we played a lot of Oasis covers. Meg Matthews was there, she was nice, very friendly. And Alan McGee was also there. We were too scared to talk to him though. All in all, an amazing experience. This video has really brought back those memories, so thank you very much. Very enjoyable. You have the greatest collection.

Holy shit! You know you're in for a treat when the number 10 spot is 'just' the guitar strap from the smashed guitar that ended the band. How on earth does he get hold of all this stuff?!

I have Brian as a Facebook friend. He’s such an upbeat, positive guy. Always sharing stuff from his collection and just a generally cool guy!!

Great stuff James. All of you commenting “how does he get this stuff?” and then also criticising for the fact he wouldn’t say who smashed the guitar - same answer. He is a great guy who builds excellent relationships with people in the Oasis world. He is very discreet, so people know he can be trusted, hence they are willing to sell to him

What a guy Brian is! Such a ridiculous collection, and I am - as I'm sure a lot of Oasis fans are - SO grateful that he is willing to share some of his collection with the community. Such a nice dude as well.

So this is why the band split up!...because they had nothing left after this guy collected everything 😂

who smashed the guitar, "im not at liberty to say".... later in the video "this is the strap from Noels guitar that liam smashed" lol

Mind-blowing stuff. I literally felt like a little kid watching this. thanks again to both of you for this video!! Cheers!! 🍻 That's one lucky guy.

Great vid James. Thanks Brian, great to see more gems from your collection. Noel's guitar strap is pretty awesome and those SMS handwritten lyrics, sweet!!!!!

Fantastic - the stories behind these collectibles are fascinating - I'd love to hear more about how Brian finds and acquires these items. Brilliant!

This video is fantastic, thanks for sharing the amazing collection of oasis that Brian has!

Brian is a super cool and nice guy, I have asked him a few questions and interactions and he is always willing to help and answer my questions.

Incredible collection. Thanks for sharing.

last ever item signed by the band minutes before it all ended... awesome!

Amazing !!!! I can't believe the amount of history this boy has in his possession ... nor should he know it either ... Kind regards from Córdoba Argentina.

Thanks for sharing your collection with us and fair play to you

Very cool video, James 👍🏻

I’m glad these things are with a collector who clearly cares about the history of the band. What a collection. You could start a small museum with the things on display here.

This is fantastic. Brian, you are the man.

This was a great watch. Back in 2016 they did a Oasis convention in Manchester called “Chasing The Sun” at the old Granada Studios. It was mega, a lot of Oasis memorabilia was on show such as lyric sheets, clothing, amps, Noel’s guitars etc. Did you (James) or anyone else go?

Amazing collection!!

What a fantastic collection. I'm lucky enough to have a flag from Knebworth taken at the end of the 2nd day

Damn amazing, and that’s just a snippet of a massive collection

James and Brian, thanks so much for sharing.

For me it's the Orange Amp. That thing stands out to me, I don't know why, it just does. Would love to plug my Epiphone Riviera into that. He wants to think about renting some of that stuff out to studios and live sessions.

Great video, James. Unreal the collection he has, he must be a millionaire to afford all that lol. Hope you had a good xmas.

Wow the orange amp, I’d love just to be able to get one of those & put a stones sticker on it. He’s got the actual one!!

This was awesome..

Class, thanks Brian,

Amazing!!

You are the coolest person I know!! Big respect Bro!!!

That last signed image right before they broke up is crazy

Great vid ❤️

bruh, how cool is this. my favorite are those orange amps.

Incredible!

My old man has one of boneheads guitars and some stuff Owen Morris gave him. To cut a long story short, Owen lived up the road from us back when he was big time with Oasis. My old man was friends with Owen so would be around Oasis and other bands like Ash all the time. Bonehead turned up at my house one day in an Aston Martin... I didn't have a clue who he was because I was about 7 at the time. Loads of other stories I know that wouldn't be fit for youtube!

amazing items !

Humble and passionate. It's the way to be.

What has he got? He's got the lot. Can't believe the couch still exists.

He’s got the bloody couch man great collection

I got a puff of American pride when Brian started speaking and I heard his accent. Maybe its because I always want to tell Brits that contrary to what they might have heard there are loads and loads of Americans who LOVE Oasis. I mean this in a kindred spirit way, not a competition sort of way. If they ever get their heads right and do ONE more show I will be there. Hopefully in Manchester.

This is Unbelievable, how amazing of the collection

This young man has done really well in some different occupation. We can be sure of that, because nobody without lots of money could have acquired this collection.

Only at #6 and had to comment how amazing this video is

Brian!! Great people, one of the best in Oasis world!!!

Expected him to have some signed vinyls but then the first item came and realised he meant business

Amazing collection. How did he find it all?

Amazing

When i saw "the couch" fuck sake! That should be in a museum surely?

No body knows I own those lol we do now 😂 great video and wow the 90's time really did fly !!!

This is so cool

Absolutely incredible. Particularly the amps. It's put me off selling my Orange. Amps contain a lot of mojo and you usually regret letting them go.

I have a Blackburn Rovers (purple checked) shirt signed by Noel, Liam, and Bonehead from the Definitely Maybe tour. Wonder if that's collectible?

At the end he admits Liam smashed noels guitar before split

Wow!!

My rarest item is Stone Roses related, at Heaton Park a friend got me a pass as ‘stage crew’ and got Reni to sign me his snare skin

Love the mahogany snare drums From the knebworth gigs, I bet their worth a few quid now.

Can't believe he has the sofa that's cool

how the hell did he get all this stuff? especially the sofa?

Fucking Amazing !

15:28 that secret didnt last long then haha

👏👏👏👏👏

Wow 😳

Nice

Props to the guy for not snitching😂

This is crazy

My jaw dropped when I saw the couch

How did obtain all this stuff?

This guy's crazy.

Probably my fave American..if i'm ever visiting the US i have to track down Brian's compound and pay my respects looking in. I'll have to stop being a poor. makes me feel so inadequate with every insta post. all i have is my 2002 nme original as i hadn't enuff euros for a Q oasis tribute mag in the back and beyonds of co. kerry

"Not at liberty to say?" Erm, I think the statue of limitations has run out on it mate!

Nice! This guy must have a decent wedge of money (or had lol)

The collector must be a millionare. Of all the items I'd like to own the Dfinately Mybe Orange amp. Boneheads notes and the Morning Story drums. Nothing from 1999 onward. The second Oasis decade just can't get me going at all.

I met Liam on a train years ago after signing my band to Chrysalis Records. I asked him if my band could support OASIS and he scribbled down his management phone number and told me to ring them 😎 he was heading back to his mum's to pick up clothes before going to Japan - he was with a girl...

Fuck everything else I just want that orange amp noel used...😯

The setlist at no. 9, cigs & "alcahol" ?

It’s a shame about Guigsy because ever since he left oasis in 99’ he pretty much dropped off the grid and disappeared, it would have been cool to meet him

Now, the real item we want: the Union Jack Sheraton. Who’s got it bc I’d love to buy it! Cool collection there by Brian….

i want to know where the union jack guitar is now

OASIS BEST BAND EVER and its not because im from greater manchester .im still mad fer it.were OASIS called rain origonaly ?

ha! 1st item: "Im not at liberty to say" 9th item: gives it away! hahaha...

Ive got some Oasis memorabilia. Couple of roof tiles whilst working on Noel G's old house in Chalfont St Giles. For sale if anyone wants to buy them?

WOW Man!! Your fucking Awsome Dude?!?!

I expected no1 to be Noel and Liam

YOU HAD SUCH A F**KING COOL COLLECTION , WHICH IS NOT EVERY F**KING FANS HAD.. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN... YOU MIGHT BE A F**KING MILLIONAIRE... YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN... YOU CAN OPEN THE MUSEUM ... YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN... SUCH A F**KING TREMENDOUS COLLECTION.. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN... WHO'S YOUR BIGGERS ROCK N ROLL SUPERSTAR ??? FOR ME ITS JOHN LENNON

just howwwwww

How?

I saw Oasis on June 11th 1994 in a free festival in Preston Park. I took some acid early on and decided to look down the sleeve of my girlfriend. It completely tripped me out and I don't remember much but all of a sudden I saw a man climbing over the stage tent and Oasis were playing. I also own a 7inch copy of their first record.

I can't tell you who smashed it... Later on.... Liam smashed the guitar

Money can't buy memories, well, suppose it can.

M19👊🏻

Yes but the piece of toast from under his bed is the true golden nugget isn't it??

Ask Him If He Has Any Stone Roses Stuff Great Video 👌👍

Give you a quid for it all.,,,,

Digsies dinner?

wot you got on wax mate

If Noel Gallagher blew his nose then the collector would be talking about the history of the tissue

He said he couldnt tell who smashed the guitar in number 1...then number 9 he said liam smashed it 🤣
