Paolo Hewitt was Oasis' official biographer, DJ and companion on the road and in the studio during their 1990's heyday. Join me to hear some never-before told stories of his memories of each member of the band during that time.

Yeah, I feel like James is slowly becoming part of a new oasis chapter which is strange to say since the band broke up over a decade ago!!

I met Liam in 1996 in London, and I asked him about a kid I knew who claimed to have went to school with him. I told Liam the kid’s first name, but couldn’t remember his surname, so I described him instead. And while I was still trying to remember his full name, Liam came out with it. I couldn’t believe it. I knew someone who knew Liam as a child and adolescent. Blown away is an understatement! Anyway, the last thing Liam said to me was, “Say hello to Paul.” So I did. And as I did, I couldn’t believe what I was saying. “Err...Liam Gallagher told me to say hello.” Mental.

@HightownPirates 2 года назад

I love Paolo, he's a good man, oh and BTW, I was the guy that organized the 'party' after the Astoria gig, that he talks about at 1.40 .It was the launch party for Definitely Maybe. I was friendly with Weller and Noel and think I might have actually made that introduction. You can read all about the party on page 153 of my memoir, Too High Too Far Too Soon, available on Amazon and Kindle etc.

@dani351 2 года назад

Sad to hear how all the excitement of being in a band like Oasis, eventually became like a regular a job you have to attend to, during the BHN Tour. I actually think Noel sounded at his best during that Tour. But maybe part of that loudness and feedback was just anger coming out through his guitar… Great interview!

I didn’t know that Guigsy and Paolo wrote the Robin Friday book. He was the George Best of lower league football in the 1970’s. He should have been one of the best players in the world but his lifestyle and that put paid to that. The greatest footballer you never saw is a great description of him. Great interview as always. The quality of this channel is unsurpassed.

Hi James, be great if you could do a video about the story of Mike flowers version of "wonderwall" if I remember correctly it came out about 3 or 4 months after the original Oasis version, I'm sure noel or Liam actually said they new about the Mike flowers version before and at one point considered letting Mike release his jazz version first

Then at the free Heineken festival in Preston ,The Boo Ridley’s were headlining,followed them up and down the country , went to Brighton and LA’S. RIDE finished it for me!

Oasis shot to fame so quickly, they went from a bunch of lads from a council estate to having thousands of screaming fans in Japan within a few years, millions in the bank, women and drugs on tap, and the media watching their every move. I think that would cause anyone to go off the rails, and in the grand scheme of things I think they sailed through it!

@chrislathwell3653 Год назад

Pretty much all journalists I can’t abide but this guy really got the band and comes off a cool guy I’ve seen him on plenty of other band related vids he’s appeared in like the who and small faces and there’s nothing pretentious about him unlike so many other journalists

@estebancomulet 2 года назад

it's interesting how Paolo Hewitt describes the DM/Morning Glory eras as the most special and fun, and those which the band looked back on most fondly, and the Be Here Now tour was actually quite a dark/depressing time, just inflated on its own self-importance, way too chaotic and where the band spent all their time reminiscing abt the golden old days. Although Noel does great PR for this period, and claims it was the most fun and spectacular tour he ever went on, I am more inclined to believe Paolo Hewitt's account...and suspect Noel is aggrandising it for his own purposes and the purposes of securing his band's legacy.

@badkarmaonezero2010 2 года назад

Both of Paolo's books are among the best on the band. Though it should be noted that his lack of a relationship with Noel these days is more to do with Paolo writing a warts and all book on Weller..... The book didn't paint Weller in the best of lights which ended their friendship, naturally with Weller and Noel being close Paolo isn't on Noel's Christmas card list these days

@texaspete7748 5 месяцев назад

I didn’t know that! I just assumed Noel cut paolo off when he quit drugs and cut off a lot of others who were hanging on.

@phgkeets12 2 года назад

I do feel when Bonehead and Guigsy left that was the end of Oasis that sold millions of records and were embraced like no band in Britain since The Beatles. They changed the logo and employed Gem Archer and Andy Bell no disrespect to them but lost that gang mentality or as you put it James a bunch of lads having fun :)

@GenerationXChick Год назад

The weird thing is is that Noel has said that this was his favorite tour….

@texaspete7748 5 месяцев назад

Yeah he did, great point. I wish James had asked Paolo why if all the fun had gone then why did he think Noel had still said it was his favourite time in the band. Be interested to hear.

Lovely fellow Paolo but in the end all he did was propigate the false narrative that Noel's catchy choruses came from football fans singing at Maine Road rather than from where they really came from, which is The Real People.
