Hugely intelligent with a mind as quick as a fox.

Drew Layton Lol your comment tho haha

fuck yeah

@@DrewJPS are you being sarcastic?

HarleyBeans "without playing the game" is such a good point that is often overlooked

It’s because of how big they were here. They went to USA and a band like Del Amitri were better known British band (Who were/are also brilliant by the way)

Lord Nose They were in the 90’s Oasis just didn’t do what the Beatles did in USA. Which is no disgrace of course You should check Del Amitri out mate, they’re amazing. They only hit a height for about a year Their PR agents are the worst ever lol.

I'm from Canada AND I'M FUCKIN MADFERIT!

+Caverman I'm american and I like Oasis WAY more than u2 and coldplay, those 2 bands suck dick in my opinion.

TheFutureKing Agreed. The singing in Oasis I always felt was poppy, but the constant belting and extreme catchiness makes up for it.

Except Johnny Rotten did rather well for himself in the US and is a resident.

TheFutureKing most yanks wouldn't agree with you

I'm American and I don't give a flying fuck about oasis ..to me there a Beatles, slade , ELO coverband and most Americans like myself saw through the swindle ..

That's the only attitude to ha🙏ve as everyone has an opinion 😂 be a free happy thinker

Vicious Zero and alcohol

Big Dave no, not alcohol at all. Excessive alcohol consumption maybe. But not alcohol in general.

@@bigdave7021 Nah. Alcohol can be okay in moderation and socially. Weed is overrated, makes you dummer long-term, and smells.

@@kindsir1256 it turns people into monsters and ruins lives the stress it puts on the nhs and the damage it does to you is horrible, if the government didn’t make so much money from alcohol it would be and banned and should be.

Bollocks.

Paul Clark are you deaf?

Liam Gallagher like his brother are incredibly average. Do you think Noel or Liam have anything on Steve Marriot? Nah they don't they're a pair of Mancs with a few good tunes. That's it. Thankfully The Smiths gave Manchester something to be incredibly proud of.

why u think isaverage , u r average , make some music then , ignorant people , do you play any instrument or sing even?

self promoting youtube is a large platform,why not sell yourself on here

THthefirst adult lyric really? what for dude? he had many chart in the past with oasis and still on his album he get #1 uk just fuck off

His wit is so good and off the cuff. He believes in himself and his music and staying true to himself.

ditto

Chris Christian me too i hope he come here liam was here in manila last august 14 and it was awesome we chanted oasis oasis he responded thats my dream too

He's not dead yet and I presume you're not either

🤮

yeah noticed that's, it's all the Beatles all over u.s known as their saviors in a way and what they sing like hymnes but oasis seemed to kind of rock the boat too much for the majority of their Christian thinking, and pleasant life, to see a swagger from Liam and cussing, what it's like in Manchester was probably too much to accept or the balance of it all for u.s which is understandable.

Oasis were huge in USA,at there peak but for some reason There legacy hasn't been remembered that well in USA,when you look at the likes of Green day they are gigantic in USA,and still are,but look at album sales from oasis in america,its platinum/double platinum and more,but yea agree its probably the rebellious british attitude

sallie46 maybe they were criminally underrated because their songs were nonsense gibberish to us yanks

You nailed it, Mikey' Michael. Despite the Brits' inexplicable worship for these clowns, they are an exceedingly mediocre band with maybe 4 good songs and the rest forgettable shit. The comparison to the Beatles is delusional on the part of their fans. The Beatles were innovators who broke new musical ground with every album, NO ONE can say that Oasis broke ANY new musical ground. And Noel Gallagher is the biggest musical thief this side of Led Zeppelin -- but at least Zeppelin fucking rocked.

+Erik Killmonger I refer you to kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9CIm7Ck1Ne-fHk.html where Ray Davies says that "every so often a band comes along and changes the musical landscape" although I will agree the music wasn't generally of a new genre, it was just very good simple music

Oasis has won a "shitload" of awards. In 2007 they won the award for "Outstanding Contribution to Music" and in 2010 For BEST Album in the last 30 yrs. Just to name 2.

Lukas Troni only because were hypnotized into the blues bullshit, yeah we appreciate hardship fuck look at the we paved people dont speak on it though cause no other country can do what we accomplished ever or era in such a short time we did it with faith not satan

Oasis was good enough sure, but comparing to other bands in musicality , taste, and ideas nowhere to compare to bands from the states of the 90's. Just not in the same league musically, no matter what the hype was around them.

One word: Grunge

@@Madferit91 Grunge died with Kurt Cobain

@@Peyote1312 People who struggle with addiction usually develop physical dependence on a drug in addition to mental changes. Dependence involves changes to how neurotransmitters are released by the brain. Once a drug releases more serotonin, dopamine, or other combinations of neurotransmitters, the brain is less likely to continue this release process on its own and will begin to need the presence of the drug to reach equilibrium. serotonin, dopamine, or other combinations of neurotransmitters = physical issues within your head.

I just liked the way it smelled...

@@Peyote1312 you literally just defined addiction you tit

To say he was not lucky seems a bit out of place. Considering he did not know how to play but he managed to write good material and be promoted at the right time for the right audience. So thanks to the managers and the record company who believed in them. As David Gaffen used to say "don't worry, you gonna be rich, I gonna be richer than you, but you gonna be rich".

@@tomyjusten3867 that's why you find out if you have a addictive personality before using anything, then just spacing it out is usually easy

Definitely I'd probably be a bit more cocky if I had a few quid!

" Mini -bar was open wasn't it?!"

That's a big part of it BUT there's so much more. I think their brand of RnR, obviously very British influenced, was gonna have a very hard time against the typical American Rock bands that were very popular at the time ie: Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Korn etc.......Rap was also huge back then as were boy bands and Madonna style Pop. So they had a LOT of competition. Add to this their "Don't give a shit/arrogant" attitude, the volatility within the band (in particular the bros) and the fact that they couldn't complete their first 4 tours of America and to put it mildly they were up against it bigtime. The mere fact that BHN got to No. 2 on the US Billboard charts and they were able to sell out Madison Square Gardens on several occasions (after their initial surge in popularity) is a testament to the bands tenacity, hard work and talent. If they had done things right from the get go then they probably would've sold 5 or 6 times more albums than what they did.......I mean, WTSMG sold 4 Million in America, that's less than 800,000 what they sold in the UK, in a country that has 4 and half times more people. It should've sold 10 - 12 Million at least.

+stromer24 - I'm pretty sure that the reason Liam gave for cancelling that American tour in '96 was that he had laryngitis (read: too much partying, haha), and that he also needed to find a new house to live in with then-gf Patsy Kensit. I always found it ironic that Oasis piped up about how they were the greatest band in the world (and, to be fair, they were close to being that during their prime), yet they could also be so self-sabotaging. But, then, they were all hoovering vast quantities of cocaine up their noses in those days, so that might explain a lot. It was a shame though...

Even though there's not much doubt they took a LOT of drugs and partied hard I don't think they did as much as everyone makes out. There's an interview with a press guy from Creation that says that the stories in the papers were about 80% BS and 20% accurate. Of course the boys didn't mind, it added to their bad boy image. I've seen ppl strung out on drugs and drink and both Liam and Noel don't look like that at all.....even in the heady days of 94' - 98'.

Noel has often said himself that the lads partied hard/did a lot of drugs - this is straight from the horse's mouth (Noel), and not the media. There are many clips on KZfaq. That time when Oasis were booted off that Cathay Pacific flight to Australia (in 1998?), and Liam was then banned for life from ever flying with them again, Liam was interviewed shortly afterwards and he seemed coked to the gills. Same thing when Oasis collected a Brit Award onstage from Michael Hutchence. There are tons of these kinds of incidents. Don't get me wrong - I love Oasis and I've found most of the aforementioned clips hilarious, but you can't say they weren't tanked, when they clearly were (and when Noel has since admitted it as well). I've seen people pissed-drunk and high as well, though the ones on coke were fairly 'controlled', all things considered otherwise. Probably helped that they hadn't been boozing much prior to and during that, were fundamentally intelligent people (one guy had studied medicine, but abandoned that and spent a year living in New York and hanging around with present day-sober Depeche Mode - thanks to 'a -friend-of-a-friend' sort of thing). The other guy on coke there was actually Howard Marks (he'd only done a little coke to perk himself up for the post-show 'meet n' greet' thing). :) FYI, I don't condone or endorse drug use - to each their own.

SallyTheSeahorse Yeah, as I said, I believe they took a LOT of drugs but not as much as they OR the press lead us to believe. I've seen many of the videos you've mentioned and I agree wholeheartedly, and YES they are Hilarious. The Parkinson interview where Noel says he "could've won gold medals in drug taking for England at the Olympics" is very funny but obviously highly exaggerated......just take a look at the guy!! He looks extremely young for his age, has a teenagers hair, all his own teeth (I assume LOL) and is quite fit & trim......AND Liam (who's supposed to be worse) looks even better. These guys 'dabbled' in drugs, enjoy a drink or two now and smoke a bit and that's it. Nothing wrong with that, they know when to stop and how to control it.

J.B on the rocks.

coldplay haven't sold much more than that too

They're one of my favorites, too. I don't mind that a lot of people on the street here in the US don't know them, what pisses me off is when even members of the so called "cult" audience here, only know "What's the Story"...like, fuck, at least get a copy of "The Masterplan" and "DM" while you're at it...

He said it as a rhetorical question

They didn't care about cracking there... they were young and loving what they were doing without being manipulated by record/media moguls... they had their own integrety and wouldn't be forced to do fuck all

Paddy K If you watch their other interviews they did care about cracking the US market. But Liam had other agendas.

Would HAVE*

I enjoy Oasis and would have loved to seem them in the US but I agree their idiotic brotherly fighting doomed them in the US.

I personally think is because their a shit band ..we saw through their mediocrity ...

verve92 In Oasis yes.

JAMIE LESTER what a life is a good song. That's not oasis.

Don't Believe The Truth was significantly better than SOTSOG.

They did do unplugged but Liam refused to sing and made Noel do it by himself while sitting in the audience heckling him. American record labels didn't much want to deal with them after that and Liam not showing up for tours cause "he was busy buying a house".

Says it Al about America😂

they sold 4 million of what's the story in america . coldplay have only done the same thing over there just more albums.

It's not a lie. They never broke America. Three or four songs that did middling on the charts is not "breaking America."

WRONG Liam wrote one song by Oasis.

WRONG Liam wrote several songs for Oasis and none of them were hits. His first composition was Little James, written for Oasis' fourth record. Subsequent records featured a few songs written by Liam as well.

Joseph Marrero So you have contradicted yourself. Your first comment said "He (Noel) penned ALL of Oasis hits, for fuck's sake! Did Liam write Wonderwall? NO! Live Forever? NO! Enough fucking said!" But now you said he DID write songs for Oasis. Make ya mind up. I was referring to little James when I said, he (Liam) wrote one for the band. So what other songs didnt he write for Oasis ?

How the fuck have I contradicted myself? READ!! I said Noel wrote ALL of Oasis hits, not ALL album tracks or otherwise. Here is a brief example of a "hit": Wonderwall was Oasis biggest hit. You can google or Wikipedia if you want to see a list of writing credits. "Contradict" that before you make another comment please. From Definitely Maybe until Be Here Now, Noel wrote EVERYTHING, including album tracks and b-sides AND THEIR BIGGEST HITS, period.

Joseph Marrero Read all your comments.....You said "He penned ALL of Oasis hits, for fuck's sake! Did Liam write Wonderwall? NO! Live Forever? NO! Enough fucking said!" Meaning Noel wrote ALL the songs . Then you totally contradict yourself when you said "....Liam wrote several songs for Oasis and..... " You gotta be really fucking stupid not to see (the duplicity) that you have contradicted yourself. Contradisc means saying two things that oppose each other. Or its like saying Liam didnt write any songs for Oasis and then a minute later saying Liam did wrote songs for Oasis. Wow you really are fucking dumb, sorry no offence.
