The crackling sound is a guitar pick being dragged down one of the bass strings of a guitar, which are wire wound round a core (the treble strings are just a single wire). Do it slowly enough and each time the pick goes over the winding, you get a kind of click. Do it all the way down the string and that’s what you get - all guitarists know it but what’s fascinating about this track is that i can’t honestly think of anyone else making it such a prominent part of a song. It’s totally in line with Oasis’ raw, organic vibe - no nonsense, no bs, no distance between the band and the audience
Also, I was at Uni in the Brit pop years - great times! I never got to see Oasis live but I saw a lot of the other bands of the era - Blur, Suede, Manic Street Preachers. That might have been the last time when nearly all bands were live first, recording second. These days bands record first and then maybe go on tour and they don’t have the performance skills anywhere near as much. Great reaction of course, as always dude :)
The only other slow pick slide I know of (fast ones aren't that rare) is from the song Baby Rann, by Izzy Stradlin. Although that pick slide isn't nearly as slow.
I saw them in Dublin in 1996. 4 months after the Whats the Story album was released. It's hard to put into words the buzz there was for Oasis back then. Magical time!
My favorite band ever. They brought everything you could ask from a rock n roll band. The loud music, the young essence, the attitude, and they sound massive live. Definitely Maybe is one of the best debut albums and a fan favorite for what it meant. I do think the second album What’s the story? Morning Glory is their best and one of the best albums of all time, they were at the top of their game. After you listen to the second one, I recommend the documentary called Oasis Knebworth 96’. It’s the final act of Rock n Roll before the Internet and one of the biggest concerts in the history of music. They moved a whole generation and brought light to people when it was needed.
Mate, this song live is unreal. I’ve never seen Oasis perform it but I’ve seen Noel play it, he slows it down and plays it acoustic and puts a new twist on it which is amazing. And I’ve seen Liam play it exactly like this, how it’s meant to be played. Amazing either way.
Oasis are insanely loud live. I went to their Wembley concert in 2000 when I went on holiday to the UK and couldn't hear properly for a good few days after that! Incredible attitude and sound.
I'm pretty excited for you man. There's so much great music in the nineties, and the "britpop" thing was a thick corner. It's good to hear this music again, especially good to see some fresh ear hear it for the first time. I don't know if you're familiar with The Jam, or Paul Weller (I'm assuming you must be somewhat familiar). But, yeah more great music. The Jam was Paul's first band they are as British as music gets.
Yeah their first album's hard to top. Pure, uncompromised rock 'n' roll from start to finish, with just one embittered ballad thrown in at the end. The second album's more diverse, with stuff like Wonderwall and Cast No Shadow. Can't beat the first for consistency though.
Before they were really famous, Bonehead's reaction on first playing out this tune said "T-Rex? we can't do this!", Noel's reply "Fuck it nobody's ever gonna hear it"
I remember when i first heard this. I was also blown away. I bought this album the day it came out, on vinyl since one of the best tracks is missing from the CD and cassette. However, by the time they had blasted this album non stop on the radio all year i was ready to never hear this again. And 28 years later i still feel the same, more or less. It's curious seeing this reaction to listening to a first time listen. On that comment about hearing it live, the first time i heard this band and this song was on The Word, which always had live performances. That was a great performance and well worth looking up if you're new to Oasis. It's amazing to think, though, that there are people too young to actually have not heard, and grown sick of, Oasis' music.
Such a great reaction man, what a debut single! I seriously recommend to listen to live performances of Oasis songs especially in the 90's, they were absolutely untouchable. Some Might Say at Maine Road in 1996 is amazing as well as Slide Away at Knebworth.
Oasis first 2 albums "Definitely Maybe" and "What's the Story Morning Glory?" hold up with any of the greatest albums of Rock and Roll. For a few years, they were a force to be reckoned with!
They had their own sound and could really kick it out, try Champagne Supernova when you can, talk about a huge sound! They sound so 90s but under the surface you can hear the influence of the Beatles, the Who and the Kinks. Too bad the brothers had such a love/hate relationship, they sure made great music together for a few years. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
I remember when this first came out. It was right when the mopey, depressing grunge era was winding down. I like grunge but this was like a breath of fresh air. Great song and fantastic album.
the "he lives under a waterfall, nobody can see him, nobody can ever hear him call" line is because noel was always a bit of a loner and shut him self away from everyone because of the circumstances the brothers grew up in.
Oasis has such a strong push with their first releases: Definetly Maybe, What's The Story (more well known for Wonderwall and Don't look Back in Anger - but has many other good songs), Be Here Now (also packed with hits) , The Masterplan (title track is my favorite track by them)
If you like documentary you must see Bob Dylan's documentary call No Direction Home by Martin Scorsese made of Pennebaker's 1966 footage - This documentary film traces musician Bob Dylan's evolution from folk troubadour to iconic rock star. Live concert footage and press conferences from the 1960s and a new interview with Dylan are used to draw a portrait of the legendary singer-songwriter. Additionally, the film features interviews conducted with some of Dylan's closest friends and fellow artists, including poet Allen Ginsberg, former love interest and noted performer Joan Baez, and Dylan's early mentor, Pete Seeger.
I've been binging on Supersonic, in part thanks to your reaction. I agree that Noel's lyrics are more impressionistic than literal. My impression (ha!) is that the song urges being brave and engaging in life, with the chorus telling the alternative--obscurity. "You'd better find a way, for what you wanna say But before tomorrow 'Cause my friend said he'd take you home He sits in a corner all alone He lives under a waterfall Nobody can see him Nobody can ever hear him call" I really enjoy your reactions, Syed, and hope you are back soon. All the best!
My childhood in a song. First gig I ever went to was the Earls Court one on the documentary. I got a guitar and my first book was definitely maybe. I learnt that and the 2nd album what's the story start to finish. Couldn't afford lessons. 1st album is still the best. I was on a council estate and im sure it was like when the pistols came out I imagine. We thought we can do this too. They are like one of us. Noels favourite album was never mind the bollocks and definitely maybe he wanted to be as powerful as the bollocks and also the who live at Leeds album. U were totally right about layering guitars. Noel got carried away and layered twenty guitar parts for power, but it was when their engineer stripped most of them off they got the right sound. One of the best tunes is bring it on down (very pistols) but slide away is the best tune on the album for me. Also don't miss the b sides on the singles, as back then u would get a couple each single. Noel admitted he should have saved them for the 3rd album and regrets it. Take me away, Talk tonight, masterplan, round are way, acquiesce, headshrinker, dyer wanna be a spaceman, fade away and many more. Great reaction mate.👍
'He lives under a Waterfall' line could be a reference to Noel's love of the Stone Roses. 'Waterfall' was a big hit of theirs. Or could be completely wrong, but just one theory :) Oasis were huge when I was a kid and although I was only 8/9 when they came along, I had older siblings who were all well into them and it rubbed off on me. Oasis were the main reason I taught myself to play guitar. I can't really say whether Definitely Maybe or Morning Glory are better as they are both great albums in their own right for different reasons. Almost like a double album in a way. DM has that rawness and grit which is brilliant, then Morning Glory takes it to another level with some more anthemic songs as well as rock n roll bangers. Had the pleasure of seeing them live in '02 and '09. Great video. Enjoyed it, thanks.
Great analysis mate! "Statement of intent" and "Take on the world" u really understanded the true essence of Oasis. Supersonic is the first Oasis song I listened (maybe except wonderwall but i didnt even know oasis probably) and I listened on music video, couldnt believe the level of coolness. It is an absolutely 10/10 banger. First album is all about self confidence/bravado that they gonna achieve success, Noel became successful writing songs about success in first album. A self fulfilling propelling prophecy in our eyes! Oasis is one of the few songs you can say lyrics are a little random, usually all of them has a real story with real people, the band is too popular, but if someone doesnt know them, they really dont know them, only one song and thats it.
The Cure were layering guitars way back in the 80's. Worth listening to some of their earlier tracks. Noel was a Cure fan (and Smiths fan) and no doubt influenced by their guitar work. In fact - he got Robert Smith to remix his track Pretty Boy recently (featuring Johnny Marr on guitar).
The pattern with '90s and '00s UK rock was they would show up with explosively genuine songs up front and then slowly but surely be diluted by the industry until their so-called "hits" were soggy, soulless clothing store muzak. Oasis unfortunately followed that trend (I honestly can't fathom wtf anyone likes about Wonderwall), but this song was definitely something real. Only one to completely buck the trend (that I know of) is Radiohead.
the way i take the line “he lives under a water fall, nobody can see him nobody can ever see him call” is that this person liam or noel knows is behind this pressure or caught in an episode of life and cant reach other people. but my azz writes poetry so maybe im reading too much into it
he lives under a waterfall .. that lyric means he was smoking probably the reefa and there is a trick you can do to make the smoke cover your face when breathing it out, thats what that line means, the guy was a stoner. I am a 42 year old man brought up on a manchester council estate so i know what this line means haha
I need to be myself I can't be no one else I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin and tonic You can have it all, but how much do you want it? You make me laugh Give me your autograph Can I ride with you in your BMW? You can sail with me in my yellow submarine You need to find out 'Cause no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about You need to find a way for what you want to say But before tomorrow 'Cause my friend said he'd take you home He sits in a corner all alone He lives under a waterfall Nobody can see him Nobody can ever hear him call Nobody can ever hear him call You need to be yourself You can't be no one else I know a girl called Elsa, she's into Alka-Seltzer She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train And she makes me laugh I got her autograph She done it with a doctor on a helicopter She's sniffin' in her tissue, sellin' the Big Issue When she finds out No-one's gonna tell her what I'm on about You need to find a way for what you want to say But before tomorrow 'Cause my friend said he'd take you home He sits in a corner all alone He lives under a waterfall Nobody can see him Nobody can ever hear him call Nobody can ever hear him call
oasis is not about words. most of their lyrics just noncense. oasis is about feel. pure vibe. noel is a great musician, liam is a great singer. words are there just to be, not really to mean anything
My man, I would have suggested Oasis a thousand times if I knew you'd like it haha. I also have a couple of suggestions I'm gonna fire your way soon. Glad you like Oasis though.
An overtly 'Beatlesque' band. Almost a Beatles cover band-- as they themselves openly claimed. Even in this song there are chord progressions right out of George Harrison and of course the reference to the Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' in the lyrics.
It’s good job in the UK and Ireland that u could actually argue they’re bigger than the Beatles! X not band for a “Beatles covers band” ?? And when did they openly say they were a Beatles covers band? 😂
By their own admission Oasis weren't great musically when they started. They were kids from Manchester. They are a 'common man make good' band who struck a chord and captured the zeitgeist.
Who cares about advanced progressions? What matters are the melodies you create on top of those basic chords and let me tell you, Noel did that brilliantly. Writing a song like this takes something far more special than being a technically proficient musician.
@@TicketTooooRide...to my ears, it's boring. There were no brilliant melodies on top either. Some folks are more easily amused. Oasis is dull to me. To each his own.
The crackling sound is a guitar pick being dragged down one of the bass strings of a guitar, which are wire wound round a core (the treble strings are just a single wire). Do it slowly enough and each time the pick goes over the winding, you get a kind of click.

I am a guitarist myself going on 30 years now and was about to post a similar comment haha
One of Noel G early guitar playing trademarks
Their first 2 albums is iconic
Personaly I love be here now just as much. Pure rock n roll excess
First 3 definitely no question 😍😍👍👍👍🎶🎶🎶🎶🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Debatably the best debut + sophomore albums from any artist ever🔥
And the masterplan too… but I love SOTSOG and don’t believe the truth… some of the songs from SOTSOG need to be listened to in their live version
I saw them in Dublin in 1996. 4 months after the Whats the Story album was released.
It's hard to put into words the buzz there was for Oasis back then.
Magical time!
I saw them 3 weeks after Knebworth. Yeah the buzz was crazy…so was the band.

"this song live is unreal, I've never seen oasis perform it"😅😅😅😅
Supersonic at Earls Court is the best live version
In all honestly I do not at all like the slowed down version
One of the greatest debut albums out there…..especially listening with headphones!
Agree!
Correction…. ‘The’ greatest debut. 👌
I’m 45, these were my band at 16 ❤
Superb reaction to what is a colossus of a song. Still sounds amazing to this day.
Definitely Maybe is my favourite album of all time, you won't be disappointed.
Oasis are insanely loud live. I went to their Wembley concert in 2000 when I went on holiday to the UK and couldn't hear properly for a good few days after that! Incredible attitude and sound.
Part Beatles part sex pistols proved to be a great recipe!
"Don't Look Back in Anger" or "Champagne Supernova" are great songs to check out next. Both are masterpieces.
I'm pretty excited for you man. There's so much great music in the nineties, and the "britpop" thing was a thick corner. It's good to hear this music again, especially good to see some fresh ear hear it for the first time.

That sound IS the pick slowly running along the 6th string( the fat one)
Is it a pick slide on the E string or is he running his pick across the strings above the neck?
@@Dan-zq5wt I think it's more of the first
Before they were really famous, Bonehead's reaction on first playing out this tune said "T-Rex? we can't do this!", Noel's reply "Fuck it nobody's ever gonna hear it"
That was "Cigarettes & Alcohol." The intro is almost exactly like "Bang a Gong."
This is a banger ! I have seen this band a lot in their early days live and they are great.
Liam's tambourine in the chorus is a real nice touch
I remember when i first heard this. I was also blown away. I bought this album the day it came out, on vinyl since one of the best tracks is missing from the CD and cassette.

My favourite of theirs and Acquiesce.
Well said!
This song was written and recorded on my birthday two years before I was born which made it extra special to me on top of how good it is :D
Great song choice! Their first two albums are absolutely brilliant.
First 3 I would say!! X
I remember when this first came out. It was right when the mopey, depressing grunge era was winding down. I like grunge but this was like a breath of fresh air. Great song and fantastic album.
Iconic British band! Noel is Oasis.
Edge of the pick catching the string's metal winding wire really slowly.
I looooove this song and Oasis. ❤❤❤
Special song.Please listen to "Underneath the Sky" by Oasis...my favourite song of all time!
the "he lives under a waterfall, nobody can see him, nobody can ever hear him call" line is because noel was always a bit of a loner and shut him self away from everyone because of the circumstances the brothers grew up in.
Definitely can never go wrong with some Oasis

Oasis must be live, few bands are best live than in studio, Liam is one of the last true great frontmans alive.
The only thing that lets Gallagher down is he can't sing apart from that great frontman 😅
@@jj-oc2sy Probably had the greatest voice in the world from about 1993-2000
Need to do the whole album
Believe it or not these songs sound even more powerful live, you should do some live tracks from the 90's at some point.
I think I thought I caught you grooving to some melodies here. Hmm. Good stuff. Great song. They do some cool covers of the Beatles as well.
Oasis is the best band of the 90's.

That background sound youre hearing his him running the pick down the fretbroad
For more music documentaries, Trash Theory is a great channel to check out: www.youtube.com/@TrashTheory
Oasis best British 90s band. Check out the Black Crowes, the best American 90s band. Start with wiser time or my morning song.
Oasis are legit all time greats.
You should do Pulp's Common People...
The pattern with '90s and '00s UK rock was they would show up with explosively genuine songs up front and then slowly but surely be diluted by the industry until their so-called "hits" were soggy, soulless clothing store muzak. Oasis unfortunately followed that trend (I honestly can't fathom wtf anyone likes about Wonderwall), but this song was definitely something real. Only one to completely buck the trend (that I know of) is Radiohead.
Agree. I like oasis third album but the attitude was muted a bit.
I'm sure I've heard that the Elsa into Alka Seltzer was about a Rottweiler (in the building they recorded in) called Elsa that kept farting lol
Great reaction man
I'm glad you found Oasis
Listen to the live version Wembley. Noel’s lyrics were just rambling bollocks back the day. Elsa was a dog. This is 1 of my fave songs
Yeah, great song, great reaction. Please do more Oasis. Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall, etc. 😁
the way i take the line “he lives under a water fall, nobody can see him nobody can ever see him call” is that this person liam or noel knows is behind this pressure or caught in an episode of life and cant reach other people. but my azz writes poetry so maybe im reading too much into it
They went dada with these lyrics but the sound is great. I remember these guys.
he lives under a waterfall .. that lyric means he was smoking probably the reefa and there is a trick you can do to make the smoke cover your face when breathing it out, thats what that line means, the guy was a stoner. I am a 42 year old man brought up on a manchester council estate so i know what this line means haha
The cracking sounds is a guitar pick being slid slowly up the strings
There is plenty of brilliant Oasis tunes and content
I think the background sounds are the scraping of a sting on a guitar or violin?
Nice reaction 👍
Please you have to react to Columbia and Slide Away from the same album.
The crackling sound is a pick scrape... He's dragging his pick down the low E string on his guitar.
I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin and tonic
You can have it all, but how much do you want it?
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your BMW?
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine
You need to find out
'Cause no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
You need to find a way for what you want to say
But before tomorrow
'Cause my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
Nobody can see him
Nobody can ever hear him call
Nobody can ever hear him call
You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
I know a girl called Elsa, she's into Alka-Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
And she makes me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor on a helicopter
She's sniffin' in her tissue, sellin' the Big Issue
When she finds out
No-one's gonna tell her what I'm on about
You need to find a way for what you want to say
But before tomorrow
'Cause my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
Nobody can see him
Nobody can ever hear him call
Nobody can ever hear him call
Seminal debit album, that changed everything.
Cigarettes and alcohol, and Rock and Roll stat next
oasis is not about words. most of their lyrics just noncense. oasis is about feel. pure vibe. noel is a great musician, liam is a great singer. words are there just to be, not really to mean anything
Nonsense! At least learn how to spell.
My man, I would have suggested Oasis a thousand times if I knew you'd like it haha. I also have a couple of suggestions I'm gonna fire your way soon. Glad you like Oasis though.
Pure rock n roll, cool as f….
The scratchy sound is a guitar pick scraping guitar strings.
Check out Aisis. Amazing stuff!
He’s scraping his pick down the length of a string, slowly
👍👍👍
Watch "Until the Light Takes Us" and then listen to Mayhem
That sound is scrapping the strings from top of the frets to the bottom

Has a heavy grunge influence here. NOTHING like The Beatles, not here anyway.
Oasis are psychelic so who cares
Nothing special. Very basic progression. Having a special sounding box to run a guitar into isn't talent. It's an attempt to disguise the lack.
By their own admission Oasis weren't great musically when they started. They were kids from Manchester. They are a 'common man make good' band who struck a chord and captured the zeitgeist.

He wrote this song in the time it takes 5 guys to eat a chinese takeaway, what have you done? pmsl
@@bucky7162...he should've focused on dinner, because it sounds like he was distracted. The fortune cookie had more profound words, I'm sure.
Nearly all Oasis songs are in the same tempo, and rhytm parts (bass and drum) are not really interesting. Like a modern Stones.
Nope. It's 3 hours later and still noooooo.
Nowaysis. NO!
Check it out live!
