Great to hear Owen give Tony his due. He’s always said that his drumming was basic but his timing was perfect and him and Bonehead were the driving force behind the punky and hard edged sound they had in their early years.
Always remember Owen on the Definitely Maybe doc saying he enjoyed mixing DM without Noel being around "no egos, you could turn Bonehead up rather than f..ing Noel"
@@scrotiemcboogerballs4967 who cares listen to Supersonic that track right there is the very perfect example of sitting behind the beat, it’s almost teetering on too slow but absolute perfection of a track. Being a Welsh lad myself, I’ve grown up all my life around people like Owen Morris salt of the earth and tells it like it is, I’d trust Owen Morris over anyone else’s opinions, who are the other producers? No one’s that who. TM was a true punk drummer.
@@scrotiemcboogerballs4967 I've heard that said as well, likely from the same people. I wouldn't say that Tony couldn't keep time, but I'd say those people likely mean he was susceptible to not feeling the tempo that well, in terms of starting songs too fast or slow etc. There were likely alot of times in songwriting/rehearsal etc where, especially if he was presented with a new song outside his comfort zone, he meandered around a bit and it was only through playing the song live plenty of times (if he was lucky to, before recording) that he'd have time to get it into his muscle memory. As a disclaimer, for me, Tony was perfect for the era in which he was in the band.
It's so amazing listening to you talk about what is still one of the best UK bands ever in the world. I'm 38 and can remember back when I first heard wonderwall on radio 1 we was taking my late mother to work 1 dark cold morning in 95 I was just a little 9 year old fascinated with music it sounds mad but as soon as I first heard it everything just made sense and can happily say iv been a oasis fan ever since my parents would buy me singles and albums. Wonderwall aimt even my favourite track but if I close my eyes I can picture me in back of the black Ford escort gira dancing away with my mum. Musics been a massive part of my life, theres no better release than some good music
I remember Owen making me write out the lyrics to rock and roll star at loco where I was the assistant with Owen. Those mixing sessions were insane , say hi to Owen
Brilliant Brian. Great interview. All this stuff means so much to us who really loved it as kids. It’s all those little things to fill in the blanks to give us the full picture. The art work, the production, the behind the scenes, Fabulous. Takes us all back I’m sure. I’ll watch everything you have to give us. Cheers.
Thank you, Brian, so much for this. I’m 43 and feel like I myself was along for the ride-although minus the amazing personal context you and Owen can provide. Cheers mate!
Owen Morris took a very good sounding record and made it sound great, with what he did in mixing Definitely Maybe. More of these type of videos please!! This is absolutely brilliant!! I’ve been waiting for more videos and we get 2 in a couple of weeks. Can’t wait for the next one!! 👍👍
The 3 albums will sound even better if it was listened and released on Hi-Res audio up to 192kHz, not 44.1kHz, on CD version sounds awful, not enough for CD, for loud recording. Otherwise, I wish I could contact Owen Morris or Merlin/Ignition/Noel Gallagher or Metropolis Studios mastering.
Good to see Owen again on RUclips. I was a good friends with Owen in those golden years and Alan Mg! I was from Crickhowell and was a bit of a hell raiser and Owen was one who loved the carry on. I have not seen since his marriage Brock up. Our sons also were in school together. I would love to re connect with him. My name is Andy Hall. I’m sure he will remember me.
I love hearing what happened at that moment in the history of Oasis, a pleasure to listen to Owen Morris and you, thanks for your channel and sharing your experiences.
Brilliant Brian, enjoyed this. That station on the cover shot of Some Might Say is 10 minutes away from me lol its the best Oasis song ever written in my opinion. Great to see and hear Owen speak
That must have been bloody good fun. Owen staying a few hours, listening to what had been recorded, with his mate around, having a smoke & a think. Owen says they all worked hard but it was just such a laugh. Isn’t that just fantastic? No one moaning. Just massively creative & fun, love it, more please!!
Revolutionary! Once again, thank you Brian for this video which gives so much insight to the process. I could listen to you go on about Oasis for hours. It's heartening to learn that the myth of Oasis was more about good, fun, productive times rather than just times of fighting and partying (although we know those times exist as well). What an amazing journey for all of you. No wonder you were there 24 hours a day. I wouldn't want to leave either and to experience Liam's vocals for the first time on a new song and knocking it out of the park. Wowzerz! On a side note, can you please tell me what Owen's shirt reads? Cat's don't what?
The work Owen did in capturing the true sound of Oasis is always spoken of by Noel. I mean we've all heard the other sessions before Owen got it perfect.
Superb.....oasis will always be my favourite band, first time I heard definately maybe it changed my life....got me into playing music and wanting to be in a band. Looking back they were great days 😊
I admit I didn’t know who Brian Cannon was, but little did I know how important his work has been to all our lives. Prompted by others recollections, I’ve looked again at those album cover artworks. Surely it’s not just me who’s hurled back several decades to “Do you remember where you were when...?” Eg you first heard Some might say?, The drugs don’t work & Free All Angels? My word, I do. A little bit later, June-August 1995, I recall vividly as a time if frenetic driving from London to East Kent, it seems always in the early evening, as I prepared for a big job move, house move & a new baby coming & a lot was on my shoulders. Yet the sun seemed always to shine in the south of England that year, the challenges facing me were perfectly matched by my own energy & ability just about to do it (too easy isn’t fun, neither is impossible, but this was just right). And I’m absolutely certain I pretty much had Oasis on full blast, car windows down fully, shirt sleeves rolled up as I fled East Kent for London with another weeks work under my belt. If I was to call it, it was the time of my life when I felt the most blessed. The music, the weather, the whole environment around me, I wouldn’t swap a moment of it. Thank you Brian, Owen & Oasis. You injected a huge dose of friendly optimism into the failing country we’d begun to be, in truth.
I always thought that Headshrinker was also recorded at Loco with Some Might Say and Acquiesce. Wish we could've heard that live a few more times with Tony.
Hearing Owen (and Noel) in the BBC special, "There We Were, Now Here We Are", talk about how he just red-lined that first Oasis record so that them songs came roaring out of every juke box in the U.K. was brilliant. Owen is a genius as a producer and engineer. Glad to see you both well.
So true, i used to be amazed at how much louder the Oasis trax were on the jukebox. As a youth, i just thought the barstaff had turned it up because they liked it!
I’d never heard of bricking & now I have a slightly better sense of why Oasis songs had the power they did. Just phenomenal, like riding a Yamaha R6 sports bike, bouncing off the rev limiter, going down the Kentish lanes near our rural house. A sonic backdrop to Oasis. They really were glory days for some of us. So good hearing Owens daft & infectious laugh!
Thank you Owen and Mark Coyle, sound being one of the most important success factors bedsides the songwriting, Definitely Maybe changed music forever merci
Absolutely loving the Oasis content you've been putting out so far! I've found everything you've said in these videos so far really interesting, can't wait for the next video!
Loving the content your posting now Brian. Informative and interesting to watch and listen to. Great to see Owen making an appearance. Thank you and looking forward to the next instalment
Ideas were formed 5aside ,leve. Stories for the masses. Forever hidden. Being here now ,far from the madness. They were great times. Your both a credit ,great minds... Thanks for the memories.
Tony was a huge part of the Oasis sound. The first 2 albums are the Oasis sound. I'm glad to hear a recording engineer agree with what I thought for many years. Tony wasn't necessarily bad. "Oh he can't drum in time". That's only needed for recording. During live, he can drift in and out. He is a punk drummer. Solid. Too bad Noel didn't like him at all. In the public eye Oasis are "similar to the Beatles" or whatever. But that's not true at all. The Oasis sound is a rock punk hybrid with great melodies. And Tony McCarroll was the backbone, the key ingredient to that sound. Yeah, Whitey was a technician, but the core sound was lost in the last 4 albums. Don't get me wrong, still great songs in the last 4 albums. I LOVE Dig Out Your Soul. But it's not the Oasis sound of the first two.
The PUSHERMAN record Owen did is the best record you've never heard....crazy album... crazy band...RIP Andy and Yank...you did the first time single cover shot in the water rats I believe Brian??
Awesome interview! I'd love a whole interview about Listen Up, would like to know why the instrumental sounds so much like Supersonic and why they chose to write a whole new song around it.
Great video Brian. Interesting to learn that the studio where it was recorded is not far from where I live. I had no idea there used to be a studio just up the road.
Great video Brian, But as I'm watching i keep thinking that white staircase , ramp thing in the background looks like the old Penguin enclosure at London Zoo.
‘According to a 2020 Rolling Stone article, Morris has retired and currently resides in Costa Rica, in part thanks to royalties for his work on Oasis' (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, particularly the song "Wonderwall".[3]’ Wikipedia
Great video. I just want to say two things, rhe oasis original logo is brilliant and should never have changed from 4th album onwards. They should have kept the original logo for everything they released. Also what font is the one used for all linden notes on all first 9 singles and what's the story morning glory album booklet
Fantastic really brilliant and fun and has made my day feel so good. I love listening to just about the songs the times the band my favourite band oasis
Sure i've seen a pic of Brian, Owen, Noel and Paul Mather standing round a mike doing the handclaps on Some Might Say. It was in Mather's book i'm sure.
All the info still coming out. Could be a cry for fame, could be huge fans. But it’s all publicity and these guys worked with the bands. So it’s interesting to hear stories of what went on behind the scenes. However, everyone has some words to say about Noel either good or bad for the last 10 years. All I will say is! Don’t hate any of the band members for being able to do what so few of us ever could. I love the stories though 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Admire Owen speaking up for Tony McCarroll. I always had sympathy for the underdog, being one myself when younger (not now....anyone mistaking my geniality as softness gets bitten these days). I couldn’t tell you & I bet no one else outside of the industry says “oh, the drumming was sh*t until they replaced Tony”. Because it’s not true. Just listen to the first album & tell me it’s not perfect, for that moment in time.
Great to hear Owen give Tony his due. He’s always said that his drumming was basic but his timing was perfect and him and Bonehead were the driving force behind the punky and hard edged sound they had in their early years.

@@HighlandMike325 absolutely!! I remember that myself. Great documentary.
Other music producers involved said that he couldn’t keep time. Hard to know who to believe.

If/when Oasis record a new album, then please Owen Morris has to produce it and Brian must do the artwork 😎👌

Those mixing sessions were insane , say hi to Owen
Owen Morris made them in my opinion! Miraculous difference when he got hold of them. Those first 2 records sounded amazing!
I could have listened to this for hours. Can’t wait for the Verve one!!
Brilliant Brian. Great interview. All this stuff means so much to us who really loved it as kids. It’s all those little things to fill in the blanks to give us the full picture. The art work, the production, the behind the scenes, Fabulous. Takes us all back I’m sure. I’ll watch everything you have to give us. Cheers.
Was going to comment but this one sums it up. Fantastic stuff.
We need many MANY more of these
What an absolute legend Owen Morris is, so loud he would intimidating if not for that fantastic laugh, a very warm personality. What a life.
Thank you, Brian, so much for this. I’m 43 and feel like I myself was along for the ride-although minus the amazing personal context you and Owen can provide. Cheers mate!

Be interesting to hear Owen talk about The Verve, Ash and The View. Some track record he has of putting out superb records. Loved this Brian!
An episode on the Verve Northern Soul sessions would be amazing. Or any Verve stories for that matter. Thank you for sharing!
This is fuckin awesome. Thank you very much Brian, great video! Owen's mega.
Brilliant. Can't get enough Oasis stuff from insiders.
Good to see Owen again on RUclips. I was a good friends with Owen in those golden years and Alan Mg! I was from Crickhowell and was a bit of a hell raiser and Owen was one who loved the carry on.

Would love to see conversations like these for the rest of the Morning Glory tracks, this was great.
This is amazing it's just like two mates catching up reminiscing old times , what a life they have lived ❤
Absolutely incredible. Thank you Brian Cannon!
The work Owen did in capturing the true sound of Oasis is always spoken of by Noel. I mean we've all heard the other sessions before Owen got it perfect.
Tony McCarroll was once part of something big. Pretty shocking the way he was treated by Noel
Tony stood up to Noel and Noel didn’t like it.
Tony can drum even Owen Morris said he could drum noel just didn't like him simple as that sad that a founding member git booted out like that
Superb.....oasis will always be my favourite band, first time I heard definately maybe it changed my life....got me into playing music and wanting to be in a band. Looking back they were great days 😊

Nice to hear positive stuff about Tony, Great video 😉👍
Thanks for sharing this Brian, really enjoyed it!
I always thought that Headshrinker was also recorded at Loco with Some Might Say and Acquiesce. Wish we could've heard that live a few more times with Tony.
What an absolute legend Owen is Bri. Fabulous!!
Could of listen to this all day Brian. Superb. Keep em coming!
Greetings from Córdoba Argentina, thank you very much Brian for these great memories and anecdotes for all of us great Oasis fans. I can not wait !!!
love Owen Morris, what a legend, as is yourself of course. thanks man
Another interesting video, thanks for posting these Brian and thanks to Owen for the chat.
Love to hear about the Northern Soul sessions
Awesome Brian I can’t imagine the stories and fun it was around that time of Oasis. Great job look forward to further clips.
Loved this Brian
Just came home, played some might say on the guitar, looked and seen there was a microdot post and it was about some might say 😁😁
Hearing Owen (and Noel) in the BBC special, "There We Were, Now Here We Are", talk about how he just red-lined that first Oasis record so that them songs came roaring out of every juke box in the U.K. was brilliant. Owen is a genius as a producer and engineer. Glad to see you both well.

I think that was actually said on the Definitely Maybe documentary that came out in 2004. The 10th anniversary DVD with the remastered tracks.
Well done Brian. Love hearing these stories from Texas. All of the sudden, I’m 20 all over again.
RUclips was made for videos like this! Proper love it! Keep going bud 🤘
Thank you Owen and Mark Coyle, sound being one of the most important success factors bedsides the songwriting, Definitely Maybe changed music forever merci
Absolutely loving the Oasis content you've been putting out so far! I've found everything you've said in these videos so far really interesting, can't wait for the next video!
Really enjoyed that interview. Class
“Amazing times, with The Verve. Intense!”
This was absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much. Great to see Owen Morris too!
Loving the content your posting now Brian. Informative and interesting to watch and listen to. Great to see Owen making an appearance. Thank you and looking forward to the next instalment
Love these. Brian’s videos are so well done.
Also- love Tony- give him his credit
Great to hear from him.
Ideas were formed
5aside ,leve.
Stories for the masses.
Forever hidden.
Being here now ,far from the madness.
They were great times.
Your both a credit ,great minds... Thanks for the memories.
Just love the house seen behind Owen. What a spiral staircase, I guess? The off white & shadow look is excellent.
Nice work. Need to hear A Northern Soul stories and what it was like to record Nick McCabe in particular.
honestly shocks me to know Tony originally played on Acquiesce and Some Might Say
Tony played on the first Top of the Pops recording of Some Might Say.
really glad to see this, thanks brian and owen :)
Fantastic! Could listen to you two for hours, looking forward to what’s coming up. May as well just go through every one of the singles now 😉
Great. Id love to hear a chapter on recording the Verve

This is great and fantastic insight really looking forward to king tuts now.
Thank you for sharing this, really enjoyed watching the two of you reminisce. So glad I was around when this era of music was happening.
The PUSHERMAN record Owen did is the best record you've never heard....crazy album... crazy band...RIP Andy and Yank...you did the first time single cover shot in the water rats I believe Brian??
Great video Brian.
Thanks Brian, we don’t get hear much from Owen. Great to hear from the inner circle 😎.
pure gold mate! Im thinking an Oasis pod cast? What do you think? =)
Awesome interview!
I'd love a whole interview about Listen Up, would like to know why the instrumental sounds so much like Supersonic and why they chose to write a whole new song around it.
Great video Brian. Interesting to learn that the studio where it was recorded is not far from where I live. I had no idea there used to be a studio just up the road.
Great video. Really interesting
Brian please get Owen on again in future.... brilliant
It must have been magic hearing these songs coming to life, knowing you were the first ones to hear them. Thanks for making these videos
Great video Brian, But as I'm watching i keep thinking that white staircase , ramp thing in the background looks like the old Penguin enclosure at London Zoo.
Please do a video on The Verve. There is not enough content on them anywhere
AWESOME PRODUCER
Superb mate

Owen is such a straight up dude. No nonsense rock n roll. Perfect for Oasis but even better for The Verve.
Richard Ashcroft signed my Gibson SJ150 acoustic. Man is a legend.
Legend
Another super video!
Some Might Say. Oasis first number #1 single.
Sort of defines the sound of Oasis at that time.
It was recorded around the same time as 'Acquiese'.
90s Oasis pure perfection
Great video. I just want to say two things, rhe oasis original logo is brilliant and should never have changed from 4th album onwards.

Oasis is an amazing 🥲 alternative rock band.
Love the verve shirt saw em in 98 epic
Sure i've seen a pic of Brian, Owen, Noel and Paul Mather standing round a mike doing the handclaps on Some Might Say. It was in Mather's book i'm sure.
What a sound lad Owen is.
Wish they’d filmed northern soul sessions 🎉🎉🎉
Epic 😎
proper great video brian
