"Be Here Now" should have integrated some of the previous b-sides like "Acquiesce" and "Masterplan", then it would have been gold. The title track "Be Here Now" is still one of my all-time favourite songs though.

It's all about where you were and what you doing at the time, as well as how 'good' an album is. I'll fondly remember Be Here Now forever, because it was such an awesome part of an awesome snapshot of my life. I listen to it now and am still happy, but also a little sad...nostalgia. I read something that Ewan McGregor said in an interview about Trainspotting 2, where he was explaining how he felt after watching the Supersonic documentary. Pretty much sums up how I feel about Oasis as a whole, really: “That time has gone, it can never happen again - but it changed our whole existence.”

I remember the anticipation for this album. I was 14/15 years old and the talk in the playground was just how awesome Be Here Now was going to be. WTSMG was the soundtrack to our generation and I remember heading out to get D’you know what I mean? as a single and listening to the 4 tracks to death. I got the album for my birthday that year and listened to it none stop. Looking back, it just couldn’t live up to the hype but as a 15 year old it was brilliant. The first three Oasis albums are like the original Star Wars films: Definitely Maybe is like A New Hope - instant classic, look at it with a critical eye and it’s not original in any way but it is of such high quality that you don’t care, Morning Glory is like Empire - bigger and better than the original and Be Here Now is like Jedi - over the top, some miss steps and not as good as the first two but still thoroughly entertaining and a classic regardless.

Noel is right and fans of the record are right. It is a huge, indulgent, unfocused record. It is loud, cacophonous, and filled with detours and needs a break from to get through. It’s also got some amazing songs and great performances from Liam and Noel. The opening song alone is genius. If great pop is putting the right notes in the right place at the right time and giving the audience a reason to sing along, then “D’You Know What I Mean?” is perfection. .

@jaydubs1696 7 жыл бұрын

I don't give a shit what Noel says, Be Here Now is fucking great. Definitely Maybe, What's the Story? and Be Here Now represent the perfect trilogy of Manchurian jest, success, and excess. As a band's first 3 albums, nothing tells a story like it, or even comes close.

This will always be my favourite album, because the singles from back then on the radio were what turned me into a proper Oasis fan. It was from there that I got the album, and The Masterplan, and then acquired the previous two albums. I was at the right age I think, and their music really influenced my life around that time and for the next 5 or 6 years. I picked up the guitar and the drums and just became absolutely obsessed. Then they decided to break up on my 24th birthday.

I remember being in a line outside Our Price in Brent Cross in North London waiting to get my hands on a copy of this and then a few days later travelling by train from London to the South of France with six mates on Holiday. We had a small boombox which we played this album on and Paul Weller's Heavy Soul, which were both played to death whilst having the best laugh on our journey and sinking many drinks on the way. The journey was the best part of the holiday, lol. Great memories and this album played a massive part

He's absolutely right about the remix of D'You Know What I Mean, and the 'giving away' of those great songs as B sides on early releases - though I still think it's incredibly cool that such amazing songs were like hidden secrets that only the biggest fans knew about... Although the songs were too long, and there's a couple of crappy tracks, I think if this album had been released later in the Oasis timeline, it wouldn't have got the criticism it has had.

Excellent interview. This is the interview I've been hoping for & waiting on. I've always said it too, had "The Masterplan" been the 3rd album, they would've been even more massive. Talk about a trilogy! Technically they could've released those song as an album as the 3rd record but an American release only, cause all those songs were still new to us. And for the most part of it, it was still pre internet days compared to the massive "culture" it is now at least, they could've gotten away with it. Can you imagine the 1st 5 videos post "Morning Glory" being, "Acquiesce", "Listen Up", "Headshrinker", "Talk Tonight", & "The Masterplan"?? ... Mega.

Be Here Now was/is my favourite Oasis album and Oasis are one of my favourite bands, don't know why people (including Noel) slag it off so much! ;-)

This album is to Oasis what Pinkerton was to Weezer. That is, Be Here Now was an album that had the impossible task of making an album better than the previous behemoth. Inevitably, it didn't measure up but with age it has improved. If ever the world needs album like Be Here Now, it's absolutely in 2016.

I never thought the original mix of "D'You Know What I Mean" was shocking. It's loud, in your face, over the top, the triumphant return of Oasis song it was meant to be. It was mixed loud and meant to be played loud. See the ending with all the wailing feedback and backwards guitar? I love that. Oasis has tried to sound psychedelic in later days but for me this is the most psychedelic thing they ever did. That sonic assault.

I Hope I Think I Know is an absolutely outstanding tune 🎶 and probably my favorite Oasis song, I love the whole album but I fully understand how Noel feels about the recording process, the method of playing everything separately and building the song up piece by piece really takes away from the whole feel of a song, that's how albums get "Over Produced" playing it live and then doing overdubs is a much better process and the only way I'd ever record again.

Instead of everybody else using already released B-Sides from earlier periods, i put together a version of _Be Here Now_ using only songs actually recorded during that period; a version of the album that ACTUALLY could (should) have been: 1. _Be Here Now_ 2. _D'You Know What I Mean_ 3. _Stand By Me_ 4. _Fade In-Out_ 5. _I Hope, I Think, I Know_ 6. _My Sister Lover_ 7. _Don't Go Away_ 8. _(I Got) the Fever_ 9. _Stay Young_ 10. _All Around the World_ Of course it's not perfect, and the songs go on _forever_ . . . but them NOT including _My Sister Lover, (I Got) the Fever)_ and _Stay Young_ while throwing on crap like _Magic Pie,_ rambling B-Sides like _It's Getting Better Man_ and _Girl in the Dirty Shirt_ and absolutely *wasting* that crucial end song for even MORE(!?) of _All Around the World_ is just reckless and sad. really though, almost every song from this period can absolutely be trimmed to at least 3/4 its' length. everything that needed to be said in _My Sister Lover_ (which is a great song) could have easily been done in half the time.

In my opinion Oasis and the Beatles are the only bands that have got so many top quality songs that still stand up today. For me Oasis have well over 50 top class songs. Every playlist I've ever put together always has loads more oasis songs on it than any other band or solo artist.

@nigefal Жыл бұрын

Oasis were OK for their time but never changed the zeitgeist like the Beatles did. Oasis were more copycats than innovators.
