I do like this band, they get a lot of stick for being musical magpies, but they're okay IMO, even if some of their lyrics are questionable - "slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball"? What?
@@diarmuidwall9605 Liam Gallagher, his brother lead guitarist Noel also had his own band called High flying birds worth a listen. Liam's role model was John Lennon
This is why I always felt spiritually connected to Liam, because I feel the same about John (hence my nickname ^^). In fact, I feel the same about Liam 😅 It goes beyond pure matter, there's something so deep that connects me to these people that I will always have them in my heart ♥️
@@dantastic6262 Supersonic is a great tune (and the only song I can remember the actually circumstances of first hearing it!). Personally I love "Columbia" off the first album most.
Years back, I never fully got Oasis, then a friend lent me his iPod, big at the time, and good headphones, my mind was fully opened to the genius that is Oasis. 🎧
yeah, when they were popular, i couldn't stand hearing them. i'd turn the channel when they come onto the radio. but lately i've come to appreciate them & i sang along with this entire reaction video. (with THEIR accent: "champagne supahnover n the skeyeee...") 😂
@Sean Behan did you even listen to this song? It’s completely carried by Liam and listening to others as well he takes the band to another level… without him this song is nothing.
REM was the same but if you really listen to this song it sounds like it's talking about life going by too fast and going through the motions and people you used to know, just for it all to eventually come to an end
This may be my favourite song. The peak of britpop. And you’re bang-on with the lennon vibes - liam was a massive beatles fan. The lyrics are somewhat incomprehensible - even noel, who wrote it, said he doesn’t really know what it is about, its more the sound that matters,
Saw them twice utter brilliance live, that was the best way too experience them, Also seen Noel Gallagher solo and Liam Gallagher solo, both great front men in their own rights, but no getting away from the fact Liams voice is perfection and defined an era.
Oasis' biggest influences were The Beatles. They dressed like them and sang like them. They even wrote there songs like them! Not in a bad way it just means more good music!
@@Bekka_Noyb Exactly. Not only the intro of Don't Look Back in Nager clearly being Imagine, but the "Start a revolution..." part of the song is one of the last quotes by John lennon before his death. It also references his week bed in with Yoko Ono in 1969 in protest if the Vietnam War.
Not even started watching but thank you one of my favourite Oasis and brings me lots of good memories. Another amazing band, from same part of England same era are The Stone Roses, think its maybe the only one of many favourite bands of mine you haven't reacted to. "I am the ressurection" "Sally Cinnamon"
Great response, we were blessed with all music genres back in the 90's and this is a true gem amongst them. On the Stone Roses comment below, try Elephant Stone or Made Of Stone. Keep on enjoying music.
If you dig Oasis man, check out The Stone Roses. They were one of the most influential British bands of all time....especially in Manchester. Start of with I am the resurrection, made of stone, I wanna be adored. Incredible band!!!
The Stone Roses saved British music from the horror that was the late 80s music scene (stock aitken and waterman anyone) and were a influence on most of the britpop boom and the Gallagher brothers were both huge Beatle fans and never hid it,their first album is a true classic with every song a banger as the young'ems say
I hated Oasis when they were big here in the UK but since they broke up and they are not being forced on me via radio/tv, I can appreciate how talented they were.
Great track, with the legendary Paul Weller as guest guitarist. Check out his work with the Jam and the Style Council, as well as his extraordinary solo career. (To get a sense of how Oasis was influenced by Weller, I recommend "Hung Up" from his Wild Wood album, which came out a few years before this. And listen to the title track of Wild Wood while you're at it -- gorgeous song.)
You should react to The Verve, another English band from this era. Songs: Another Velvet Morning, Bittersweet Symphony, Lucky Man. I really enjoy your reactions!!!
Should check out "I'm Outta Time", a later Oasis track (2008, their last album before split-up). Super good and dreamy ballad, the song is also a tribute to Lennon an features a short recorded Lennon speech. The music vid is magical
Great song to chill to. Some Might Say is awesome as well. A lot of Oasis songs honestly don't have much meaning to them. Sometimes the lyrics are just nonsense. Other times they can get pretty deep.
The lyrics are just lyrics and don't have any meaning - they just sound good. The more cryptic the more they are open for interpretation, which adds to the mystery and allure of British bands.
This song has deep meaning to me my friend and I would listen to this album and song specifically when came out, he had a awesome view of the mountains In British Columbia Canada, we get drunk and high listening ... he died in 2012 from a overdose, this song always brings me to tears because I think of those days with him, rip jay froese.
I think you’re gonna love The Masterplan by Oasis. It would give you a chance to hear vocals from Noel Gallagher, the songwriter, lead guitarist and brother of the frontman Liam Gallagher
This was the anthem of my youth, being a girl who was born and bred in Burnage Manchester where oasis are from. Fun fact I went to the same primary school as both Liam and Noel and there mum lived in the same council house for years just round the corner from my childhood home.
Hahahaha, I was just born but don't worry about it, at 27 I now completely understand and resonate with my parents when they said 'oh is this your Pokemon game' or 'is this that Brittany Spears you all like?' because anything super new and popular that I don't know about or care about, I just chalk up to 'it's probably that Billie Eilish the children like' so we're all ancient in a sense here :p
I'm 41, I was 15 when this song came out, it changed my life. I picked up a guitar, I learned to appreciate music. For 26 years this is still my favorite band. Check out anything by Noel Gallagher, his new band and all the solo/acoustic stuff he does is great also
From a similar period in British rock/pop music then you should also check out 'Motorcycle Emptiness' or 'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next' by the finest Band to come out of Wales, the mighty Manic Street Preachers 😍 they supported Oasis on their big gigs at Knebworth and Maine Road in '96..and still going strong to this day, in fact starting work on a new album for 2021 release which will be their 14th. 👍👍
Try out some of the B side tracks on The Masterplan like The Masterplan, Talk Tonight, Rockin' Chair, Half the World Away, Acquiesce, Round our way. Their B sides are better than a lot of bands A sides.
Oasis & REM are two monster bands. Focus on them for a while Jay. Sound advice chum. TOP TIPS ⬇️ Oasis - All Around The World 🌏 REM - Man On The Moon 🌛
Funny you should mention Oasis and REM in the same post. Noel openly admits to ripping off an REM solo for Whats the story morning glory. Listen to Noels opening guitar riff on that song and you will hear REM's The one i love. Oasis where great but Noel didn't half rip other songs off, how he got away with it with out forever ending up in court i will never know.
I have never taken drugs, but the lines "slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball" make me feel what it would be like, just perfect. One of the best songs ever. Check out "Not an addict" by K's Choice.
This album reminds me of my young adulthood. I was 19/20 when it was released. I had moved out on my own (well with best friends/roomates) at 18/19 and we were just young gals, starting adulthood. young, working and having fun. This cd (and of course many others) blasting from my room. I would sing this song top of my lungs in shower while getting ready for work hahaha.
Me and my 5 friends used to go to a street in my neighborhood and smoke weed together in my car and play this song while we hot boxed on a weekly basis. I miss those guys... That was about 9 years ago and now half of us have passed away or moved on to bigger and better things. But the time moved faster than a cannonball that's for sure. I miss those simpler days... R.I.P Danny and Logan. Always thinking of you two. 💙
I grew up with Oasis as my soundtrack during my teen years and they made life better. As a 39 year old man it makes me so happy to see the younger generation enjoying their music.
One of the best songs from Oasis is Slide Away. There is a video with subtitles which is the best version. Liam's voice is incredible! Surprisingly the song was never released as a single.
I’m now 39 and Oasis are still the missing piece of my life ! Growing up in my teens early 20s witnessing Oasis live was amazing but I would hate 2 die before I witnessed it again! Be really sad 2 see 2 brothers not make peace before they or there mum passes away 😢
So glad you're reacting to more Oasis : D I strongly recommend 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out,' my favorite Oasis track n maybe Let There Be Love😊✌ Thanks so much for all the work you put into your effort in discovering more n more great music:) Keep rockin, brother🤘🎸✌
this gave me a whole new apprieication for this song. i think when it first came out i was in a weird place and it reminded of bad stuff, but now years have gone by, and i dont even remember what it was... so this is great.
Love Oasis, my wife to be took me to see them in 1997 at Cardiff International Arena, EPIC! Love Wonderwall & Cast No Shadow... Wonderwall used a Melotron as did The Beatles for the intro to Strawberry Fields.......it's the Cello like sound.......
top reaction. from Manchester, 35, Oasis were one of my childhood sounds. My old man would have them on Saturday mornin before we went footy. Still listen to both Liam and Noel so seeing someone just hearing these tunes is mint.
Thank you for reacting to the best of Oasis as of now. They have few other good songs such as Crying Your Heart Out and several others that I can't recall the name of at the moment. When I first heard this band in the 90s, I really thought they were on to bigger fame than they had but they kind of puttered out with some setbacks. As a Beatles Fan, I can not deny their style of music. They were influenced by The Beatles but in their own unique style.
I have been to very few concerts in my lifetime but I am glad to say that I had seen Oasis live (V Festival 2005) as they are a very important group in the history of British rock music.
My favourite band of all time. A fan as a TWELVE YEAR OLD in 1994. Heard 'Whatever' for the first time and i was hooked. Liam was an incredible frontman (sadly ruined his vocal chords with endless smoking, drugs and alcohol) and best of his generation. Noel Gallagher - just a pure legend and genius. Hero. Dude if you want more Oasis - Masterplan, Some Might Say, Shakermaker, Columbia, D'ya Know What I Mean?, Don't Go Away, Talk Tonight, Hello, Flashbax, She Is Love, Little By Little, All Around The World, Supersonic, Go Let It Out, I'm Outta Time, Lyla, Whatever, Live Forever, Don't Look Back In Anger, Morning Glory, Listen Up, Half The World Away, Live Forever, Rockin Chair, Rock N Roll Star, She's Electric, It's Gettin' Better Man, Songbird, Who Feels Love, The Hindu Times, Slide Away, Turn Up The Sun, The Importance Of Being Idle, Don't Stop..... for starters anyhow 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇮🇪❤👍🏻
Liam's influence is John Lennon, very well observed! Don't forget Richard Ashcroft (lead singer of The Verve), he was also massive for Oasis. You're also right about the ending too, every song on this album ends similarly to jump into the next track, musical geniuses that don't get the credit they deserve IMO!
I have to be honest ur the best reactor cause in my opinion you appreciate what your watching and listening to and you’re chill I can relate to you. Some reactors are like ehhh and most others are craaazy lol thanks for the uploads man
Oasis were the soundtrack to many peoples youth including mine. So proud. I listened to this with my eyes closed and a huge sile on my face, thanks for playing it, I feel good now.
I'm 50 years from Boston, still good looking American/Irish man lol..I like ur reviews alot and I appreciate what..Every song u play, I know..Oasis was great in early 90s..Thanku for what ur doing
I presum the part where he was saying,where were you when we were getting high,just meant when they were really doing good in life. When everything was going good in life.
