5 different versions of the solo from Oasis Champagne Supernova I do not own the rights and take no credit for the filming, the original uploading to RU-vid or the guitar playing. Cred to talktonight27 for the Gem Archer Video.
Something about Noel playing it will just to me be the best. Not all about the number of notes but the passion from the songwriter. It's the best melodic version
@@MrMabawsaritchie No. Noel's rendition was way more sophisticated and fitting. I don't measure quality, in playing or in singing, by how many tricks you can fit in, or how fast you are. Noel's rendition was just more suitable and expressive.
The thing I take away from this is why all these guys are incredible guitarists in their own right. Yes, I'm the biggest Johnny Marr fan in the world, but they all add their own specific texture to each of these performances.
Johnny Marr probably didnt put any thought into it. He famously doesnt learn songs before playing them. All the stuff he's done on Noels albums were recorded blind without ever hearing the track.
Noel Gallagher's lead to Champagne Supernova live at Budokan 1998 smashed it oit of the park. Think he got the inspiration for Squire and Marr to be fair but still what a solo and end to the song when it speeds up!
Gem Archer hands down. Best sound, tasteful notes with ample space to create dramatic effect. But maybe he had more time than the others to develop it. Marr and Squire were probably just cast into the spot. Then its easy to go with some penta licks, cause you know it'll work.
John Squire and Johnny Marr of course. They're far beyond the others. The one with John Squire is legendary ! But if I really want to be impartial, ok, Johnny Marr won !
@@michaelpaul3481 You obviously have no musical aptitude, Squire's made you feel the solo by finding and emphasizing alternative notes at different registers to the regular solo that just follows the melody.
Squires was only legendary cos it's a Roses member playing with their proteges. His solo on this was lame in all honesty. Johnny Marr was easily the best,,, but I agree those two are on different stratosphere to the others. Manchester's 2 greatest ever Axe men. Azziz Ibrahim is class too. Deserves more dues
I play guitar myself,I also grew up in wythenshawe which is the place Johnny Marr grew up. When I used to be a taxi driver I picked up Johnny Marr twice,the second time I picked him up I forgot to take my guitar out of the car the night before and it was lying on the back seat. As Johnny got in my minibus he spotted it straight away,he asked me who the guitar belonged to. I told him it was mine,he then asked me where I'm from and I said wythenshawe,at first he didn't believe me. I started rattling off name's of road,s and he smiled, we talked for about 40 minutes like two brothers. When the journey ended I asked him would he sign my guitar which he kindly did, he's a decent guy and a phenomenal musician. Ironically when Johnny got into the minibus I was listening to a smiths playlist,on the way to pick him up I had no idea I was picking Johnny up the as the job note said pick up John at Dawson's in Manchester. In my opinion Johnny Marr is vastly underrated. But for me he's best guitarist to have ever came from Manchester.
Fascinating comparisons, thanks for posting these.. for my money, based purely in order of what I enjoyed melodically: Gallagher, Marr, Squire, Archer, Smith
Noel played the solo the best, but it's his song. Johnny Marr and John Squire are true guitar legends though (especially Marr). Noel is a songwriter who plays guitar and what he does works for his songs.Noel's solos are are extension of his songwriting.
At the time I thought John Squire’s solo was so much better than the original but listening back now he’s just noodling away. Have to admit Noel’s solo is my favourite, fits the song better than the others.
This video is a great for an analysis of some distinctly different styles of playing. Noel touches most on the solo we sing in our head from the album, but Marr and Squire do an excellent job and also sound like themselves.
I felt Marr nuked this, he’s versatile! Didn’t Weller actually play the solo on the record? Noel’s tone is gorgeous though! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l8YTHHClNjs.htmlsi=cNxWhQP2veNJtfxF nearly 12 mins long, absolute mad lads at the time 🤧👃😂😂
Noel, all the way for me, as it sound more like the record to me, The other guitarists here are fantastic in there own right, but it’s just too different for me, they’re are not copycat style players and they do they’re own thing, which I totally respect.
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 his guitar technique is more bluesy and kinda like led Zeppelin. His Mid 90s style is very different with Stone Roses debut album. Their sounds were similar with stone roses second album and the seahorses
@satriaagungkalirasa3587 yeah I know all that mate. I'm just saying i don't think his solo was that fitting in the song. Certainly not doubting his guitar ability, I grew up playing his tunes on guitar
I preferred Squire cause I love the stone roses sound. Marr sounded the best, he flow stated it. But the Original by Noel. That’s the one that touch’s the soul.
Gem. I’ll explain. Their all good but they are all, a one time deal (excluding Gem & Noel). Noel wrote it but he’s a song writer. Gem has probably played this over and over as well as having a direct line to god (the original composer). He’ll have had constant feedback and over the years perfected it to a point to what was originally intended. It’s real and it’s raw. If it was me, I’d add something that’s missing.
All these technical guitarists are brilliant in their own way,But for me,Noel’s solo is the best,It just works perfectly,It’s a shame he doesn’t play more solos live,But I get he’s the frontman now and he has gem doing that,Honestly,I think he’s criminally underrated as a guitarist,I’ve always thought he was really good👍👍
I think Johnny Marr’s performance is the best, but Noel’s tone in London ‘09 is phenomenal - he sounds like Slash! So that’s the one I enjoyed the most, plus no-one’s going to play it with more heart than the guy that wrote it. 🙌
My top 3 IMO The sound Noel gets out of the guitar just hits the spot for the track, perfect sound and feel. Followed closely by Marr. Different dynamic with NGHFB so feels unfair to judge in the same light, Gems unreal though still.
I'd love to see a Paul Weller's live version of his CS solo (for those who don't know, Paul Weller played the solo on the studio version so he's kinda the original)
Theyre all great. Theyre just giving out their best it depends on how they play the song like the ones in earls court where noel is just doing loop sound could be better but it works.. They know their sound. Its not fair to call them shite or crap and they damn well know that they respected each others too.
Noel was my favorite… Marr was also incredible and Gem has a nice attack but this video didn’t do him justice… all great guitarists in their own right. Really enjoyed the new Chris and Liam song as well. Cheers.
An extremely subjective opinion... as is mine that Johnny Marr is a more tasteful less wanky guitarist than John Squire - everything Squire did after the Roses 1st album was coked up and overplayed.
I think JM is way superior to Squire in almost every possible way. And I love Squire, mind you, but he's not in the same league. Just my opinion, of course, it's all subjective.
John Squire shreds man can't top it....the other legends they just add more feel to it. Talking about technique Squire wins but talking about feeling etc Marr is the man
Well, Noel freely admits he's never been the greatest guitar player. The greatest song writer, yes, but never the greatest guitar player. I think Noel is self-taught. So now Gem plays lead guitar for the HFB and Noel plays rhythm guitar. Johnny Marr ftw, always and forever.
Gem played a full electric version in 2000 when Noel dropped out of your. Would be a better comparison. Also why has widescreen footage for Barrowlands been switched to 4:3?
I like marr but, i just love to play the way john squire did it and how noel played it in 2009. So i always play the solo the way noel and squire play mixed.
Paul Weller's original solo adapted by Noel live circa 1998 will always be best, but every time I listen to this it's Gem's passionate, soulful, and dreamy solo that stands out more. Simple, low key, and better than Squire and Marr
Bonehead’s a legend but Gem was so underrated when he was in oasis his DLBIA solo is godlike. Also the version for Noel was a pretty poor choice when budokan 1998 exists
Don't think there is any big different between the Noel solo in the video and the one you are refererring to from Budokan 98. Perhaps you are thinking about the Champange Supernova outro from Budokan 98.
Noel for me. Probably because he knows it so well. Then Johnny Marr. Technically obviously Johnny Marr & Squire are on another level But what fits fits & Noel knocked it out the park.
As a guitarist i prefer marr puts his own spin and keeps the main hook and is the most technical .tim smith and gem have to keep it within the context of an acoustic gig and squires just played mega safe and hardly moved.noels or marrs for me .
And we have to remember who made that solo in the beginning!! Its not easy to play that solo but is it easy to make solo like this one!!!! All i wanna sayy
