Noel's latest on The Beatles. He still loves them. Quote "People do say, 'Why were they the best?' Noel pondered. "It's because they had the best words, the best parts, they played the best parts, they wore the best clothes, they had the best sense of humour… they were the best. They are the one band from that era, I mean there's a few, but those songs have never been bettered. Those albums… they will never be beaten." Noel's explained how his admiration for McCartney goes beyond his achievements as a songwriter. "He's a lovely, lovely guy," he added. "He's an astonishing musician, he's got great stories, he's got a brilliant sense of humour and when you're hanging out with him you can get on a level with him because he's just a scouser in a band and you're a Manc in a band. It's only about three weeks later when you think, 'That's one of the Beatles – that's one of the Beatles!' He's a dude and I've shared the stage with him a few times. I love him dearly."

Seat68 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 The sounding like the beatles thing, no they didnt sound like lovable mop tops, but in the same way Tears for Fears turgid slab of dogshit, Sowing the seeds of love doesnt sound like a specific beatles song, it is without question heavily influenced by them. Oasis, because they were fans, allowed the beatles influence to be strong, be that in their imagery, their videos or in their music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of it is that I don't think any of the original band had any real musical training, certainly Noel didn't. He just learnt to play his favourite bands' stuff in his bedroom to avoid getting belted by his Dad and had a natural ability to write a chorus. The later members like Alan White and Andy Bell are really talented musicians but it didn't quite sound the same. Andy Bell clearly can still write decent stuff with Ride but was such a big Oasis fan he dumbed it down a bit with his songs to fit in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I learned to play guitar, I say learned, I was emulating billy bragg who I liked at the time, it’s stayed with me and my style is without question heavily influenced by him. When you learn you want to sound like the people you are fans of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This had me thinking of Mel Brooks and his Cary Grant story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few outliers but on the whole, it knows it’s market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I feel much the same way about Oasis as I do about Jack Grealish.
