Imagine hearing this for the first time. It's actually a fucking sensational song for a new band to play. Very memorable (ironically named). Usually bands that aren't cover bands start out pretty shite....they hit the ground running with this one
It's crazy how they managed to sound almost exactly the same on records and live ! That's what made them great ! Recording and souding loud EVERYTIME you heard them !
@@NicolasGirls this is a half truth. The reason oasis sound like they do was due to Mark Coyle doing live sound engineering and Owen Morris being given definitely maybe to mix and done something odd to get it louder. They’re are plenty of versions of definitely maybe with shit mixes
The more I see bonehead playing the more I realise it's him I hear when I think of Oasis's sound.Noel wrote them,Liam delivered them..but my god Bonehead's playing is the heartbeat of those performances.
I love Bonehead but literally all he is doing is playing barre chords. Any half decent guitar player could have done what he did in Oasis. I realise that’s his job as rhythm guitarist but people act as if he’s some kind of musical genius for creating a “wall of sound”.
When oasis was still a band , noel writing the songs and effective melodic lead lines, Liam with has his amazing Voice full of attitude, bonehead pumping out his heartbeat of a rhythm guitar, guigs playing the simple but effective root and Tony playing his punk raw solid drum beat.
The band lost most of the punk edge that they had on Definitely Maybe when they fired Tony. You can still hear it a little on Some Might Say, which was the last thing they released before Tony was fired. Alan was certainly more technically sound, but Tony provided an edge that Alan didn’t. The rawness of Definitely Maybe is one of the reasons why it’s my favorite Oasis album (and the songs are pretty great as well).
If we take a positive look at it we see that we got to hear different shades of liams voice he sounded different in each of their album which never happens with any other singer
If only the crowd knew they were witnessing the biggest, best, most important band to ever grace the planet in the years that followed!!! Mind blowing man. LIVE FOREVER (and yourselves of course)
Liam singing like an angel, McCarroll grooves, Boneheand and Guiggs concentrating on playing like their lives depended on it! I personally don’t think Oasis ever got any better than this!
@@mydayis5 the reunion could of been exciting with this lineup even with liam nowhere near his best but theyve just snnounced Andy Bell , gem are back.... Thank god I didn't waste money on tickets... There's actually a tribute band doing the rounds now who sound as close to oasis In 94-97 as you will find.... £30 a ticket, singer sings every note, guitarist plays every part just like Noel, I generally laugh at tribute bands but these lads are impressive.... "Live forever, the rise of oasis "
The black Les Paul that Noel is playing is one that Johnny Marr leant him from his The Queen is Dead tour back from his days in The Smiths, if you look at the Manchester Boardwalk rehearsals aswell, the Les Paul he plays there was Pete Townshends and he gave it to Marr who gave it to Noel after he smashed his over the head of someone at a gig :)
What's amazing is that, believe it or not, there were hardly any rock bands to be seen at the time, and they were playing guitar bands while saying “Beatles God”! What I personally love is that what Liam is doing hasn't changed at all!
Lolwut? Nirvana had only just ended with Kurt’s suicide. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Green Day, Stone Temple Pilots, Rush, Aerosmith, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Alice in Chains. Rock was king at this time.
@@kngsgym Bush, Manic Street Preachers, Stone Roses, Radiohead were definitely rock at the time although harder to pigeon hole as rock later on. Suede. Supergrass. Primal Scream. Depends how you define rock but bands in general were everywhere
This tune always suited Liams vocal range - I mean they all sounded good on th erecords, he managed to strecth it up there and it sounded great. But live, this one would probably still sound great today.
Yeah, top boy bonehead. Unsung hero. Steady Eddie all the way letting Noel develop and repeat those signature hooks. Looking to do very similar things right now in my own band!
Fucking hell Bonehead had hair! And a criminally underrated member of the band. None of them were the best at what they did, but together it was magical....with the exception of Noel's songwritting, he probably IS the best at that
Nirvana, Green Day, and Oasis, dominated the 90's music, and they were 90's bands. Funny how both green day, and oasis, were never the same since the turn of the century. These 3 bands had enormous energy in the 90's. The 90's was the last great music decade. Nothing new has come since, and todays music, was heavily formed in the 90's, and today people just steal from those times mainly.
The Don nah because the charts today are full of absolute garbage. You can’t just sit and wait for good music to come to you , some of the best bands are those of a less popular calibre. Popularity doesn’t display the greatness of a song when songs like dance monkey are still on the radio
@@disco7379 I hate when people regurgitate this. if you like definitely maybe you like tony mccaroll as a drummer, it cant be understated how much of that sound came from Tony.
First half of the song Bonehead plays only downstrokes, and towards the end he plays upstrokes and downstrokes with the same chords. Interesting technique.
@MrCeej9999 that's funny because James Blunt has sold about 15 million albums wold wide and Whats the Story? has sold 19 million alone. Also Coldplay has sold about 50 million in total, which is 20 million behind Oasis' 70 million +. Also you should never teach math.
James blunt should never be mentioned in the same breath as Oasis nor should fuckin Coldplay ffs. Coldplay gd yes, but Oasis were the last true RocknRoll band. They re on a dif level The real shit rt there
You got to remember that today physical media is not bought as it was, because of internet, Spotify, etc. People in general don't buy albums anymore. I don't think it is fair to compare popularity or anything based on # of albums sold. Now I see you commented 8 years ago, but still, it was another time from the 90s.
Bonehead's heavy guitar sound is what makes early Oasis live so great. It's shame how his guitar started to get turned down on live gigs towards 97-98. I saw them in 98 in Brazil and Noel's guitar was way too loud compared to Bonehead's.
This is fade away I’m 99.9% it’s a song featured on ‘ the masterplan ‘, a b-side album meant too show the other side of a rock and roll band, includes classics like acquiesce and stay young
