just watched the documentary on Oasis, now i owned the first 2 CD's, Def maybe and whats the story ( also Downloaded Be here ) but i wouldnt say i was a massive fan, we saw them at Reading festival ( though looking at the poster, we would ahve gone to see the 'phonics, Eminem, Foo's, primal scream and Furries and Ian Brown ) at the time i thought they were a wannbe 'Roses ( who I loved ) , Liam always came across as a right knobhead
a interesting documentary, well worth a watch
Both Noel and Liam are troubled souls, Knobheads but troubled souls, it looked fun though
Very good doc. It confirmed what we all knew. Liam was a bigger twat than Noel and the other three did feck all.
The release of Definitely Maybe and Whats the story hit in the peak of my teenage years. I used to know those albums track by track and word by word. As a group of friends we used to walk alongside the railway tracks to our nights out swigging cans and singing the songs of the album one by one.
At the time it talked to us. It seemed different (however i realise that everybody feels this way about certain bands. I find people just slightly older than me talk this way about the Stone Roses, but i just missed that bus.). I can still remember being out with some friends when What the story dropped and the excitement and anticipation was something i haven't experienced before or since.
The bad behavior was part of the package. I don't think a nice functioning band would have taken off as much. Then of course working with your brother with both competing to take the leading role obviously cause bad atmospheres.
Watching the documentary there was a comment that after Knebworth the band should have just left it there and said we cant do better than this. I agree with it to a degree. To me the band was a huge formative experience in my life (mainly due to timing), and i still find myself going back and listening to the songs today, just like i used to laugh at my dad for going back to his formative songs when he was older.
When i see the brother now releasing solo work, i still think the best work they can produce is Noel writing and Liam on lead vocals, it is what is missing from both their new albums.
That was the thrust of the conclusion - should they have stopped? But at the time, this wasn't mentioned as an option by anyone. It wasn't even a thought.
Be Here Now was awful, and D'Ya Know What I Mean? had two mammoth guitar solos because Noel said they could get away with it. To an extent he was right, in some ways terribly wrong, but that was the mindset at the time. People asked if they could be bigger than the Beatles, or if they already were, not should they quit at the top.
That was the only bit of the documentary that I really questioned. I was amazed they had so much video footage from the pre-DM days.
As a massive fan I loved it.
Mainly the quotes.
‘ I got hit with a hammer and it hammered the music into me’ (liam)
‘I can assure you I’ve got an alibi for that day’ (Noel)
😂😂😂😂
both knobheads? I bet that's exactly what id think most of you lot if I walked passed you down the street - so I guess that's not really a insult or compliment by your standards
I thought it was a great documentary. Recalled an exciting time. And I thought Noel was surprisingly honest.
To anyone who enjoyed it, I recommend the Creation/Alan McGee doc too.
Enjoyed it but with a tinge of sadness that it was no longer the mid 90s.
Noel doesn’t come out of it too well to be honest. Plus he’s turned into Bono these days. I’m enjoying Liam’s renaissance tbh.
First two albums were great, still some decent tunes on Be Here Now as well (my big mouth, stand by me, I hope o think i know) but then it went to shit after that. The last 3/4 albums are shite except for the odd song.
Not many about now writing that type of British rock sound and lyric ,they were up there with the Kinks , Beatles ,Small Faces , Squeeze and Badfinger in my view
