- I have been requested by quite a few of you to listen to #LiamGallagher's new song #EverythingsElectric. You may or may not be surprised to learn that I am in fact an Oasis fan and have a lot of respect for Liam Gallagher, however let's have a listen to this new song and react to it with fresh ears. What do you lot think about it? Please tell me in the comments.

That's all well and good. But what's your thoughts on Rik Mayall?
LOVE YOU, MAN! :D Your insights are spot on and I like how respectful you are to all the artists but whilst still maintaining your opinions. Could you take a look at 'Metaphysical' by 'The Technicolors'? Awesome tune with so many different sections that compliment each other well and a super simple but EPIC guitar solo. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. :) All the best, Justin! Thank you for inspiring me when I was 15 playing the guitar. Keep doing the channel.
Please do Arctic Monkeys (WTF R De Fookin Monkeys Mate?)
Loyal supporter since 2003 Came to see you lot in cardiff xmas time 2017
i was chuffed to find out Dans name is -
Daniel Francis Hawkins
As My name is
Daniel Francis Ball!
There is no might about it JH
Your fucking awesome
I liked the anecdote about Liam jumping out the car to say something nice to Justin. Like a real rocker recognising another.
And not untypical of Noel to be chippy. I think it was defensive, but it made him come across as a twunt.
I've seen interviews of him not being so kind about Justin, you can never fully trust what anyone says especially a r9ck star.
As good a song writer writer as Noel is, Oasis would never have been as huge as they were without Liam, As you say, He's a Star !
He had that rockstar thing down. When he was singing live he looked like the coolest m'fer on 🌎 😅
It’s both of them that made it yin yang. One with out the other are just not as good.
As good at stealing songs as noel is...
@@me-nz2wx yes, love James’s channel. Both deeply technical and also very warm. Oasis nerd!
@@johndef5075 have a feeling Ian brown may have had something to do with that
This is so so so good. I love you Justin, so open , fair and curious. I really wish Liam will watch this and realize he might want to get you in to write some songs for him in the next record. You can be friends! Come on! You know!!
Liam Gallagher went through a horrible vocal degradation because of a hidden disease called Hashmito's Disease a form of autimmune Thyroid inflamation (condition) and it affacts the voice. Fortunately it was diagnosed and now he is under treatment and this is why he was able to come back to the make music. Now he has a deeper voice and narrower range and because of the condition that he has, sometimes his voice is hoarse as he said, he put down cigarettes, doesn't drink dairy, doesn't do drugs and doesn't drink alcohol as much, and because of that he regained his vocal strength and he makes very great music and I love it. Though I love both brothers.
@Private I have problems with raw milk since I turned 30. Maybe Liam has problems like I have, heartburn and hoarse voice in the morning. Since I cut out dairy from my life I am happier and healthier.
@Private Dairy is not good for singing, raw or pasteurised.
I think you are 2% right about the dairy comments
This conversation is incredibly rock and roll chaps
Please take a look at the Graham Norton show where Liam's coked out and rambling next to Chris Rock who can't believe his eyes!
I do remember Oasis slagging off the Darkness back in the day but then thats Oasis. Just banter. But knew there was appreciation really . Big fan of both Gallaghers work but I'd say collectively Liams recent stuff is surprisingly stronger which back in the day I'd never have guessed. But when Noel does (more rarely now) hit a solid tune, like Dead in the Water, it has that break your heart magic that Oasis tapped into alot back in the day so it's win win really.
Spot on
I do like how Noel is doing ‘newer’ (for him that is) things with his music though. Always respect people stepping out of their comfort zones or just doing new shit and experimenting with things (not a dig at Liam either, I’d be just as interested if he did some more “out there” stuff)
It’s nice that he finally released Come On Outside cause it’s one of those that’s been around for ages. I really like Blue Moon Rising (reminds me a lot of Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush, especially the Synth line during the chorus) as well. This is the Place also a good tune.
I guess I still find myself listening to songs off the first two HFB records far more than those that come afterwards.
I remember the first album coming out and it was very good (not as good as Suedes debut though). I went to see them and was disappointed. There was better British indie bands around. Then within a year Oasis got blown up by the media mainly. Anyway I guess you’re right they did tap into something but it was mainstream and by that time I’d moved on and was listening to other things. It annoys me tho that bands like Suede and Verve who were brilliant in the early 90s then just cashed in and hopped on the britpop wagon when their music was so much more edgy in the early days. How on earth did Verve go from songs like Gravity Grave to crap like Lucky Man 🤦🏻♂️
It’s “stronger” coz Liam ain’t fucking writing all his music 😂 he’s like the modern day Ariana grande now I love Liam to death but for everything he did with oasis ngl he got some bangers and bold is my fav song that he’s actually written but I mean how shit is it’s electric I feel so ashamed that he actually liked the sound of it and decided to release it atleast Noel is creating his own sound we might not like it but atleast he’s enjoying it now
Being insulted by Oasis is like having your name put in an Eminem song. It’a just for banter ha
I’m so pleased Justin is still gracing us, dude needs a prime time platform on tv I think. Seems genuinely nice and still cool as hell
Noooo TV is utter shite....Not had a TV for 4 years. Stick with the net.
To right.. his analysis on musicality are spot on.. he says it and I listern.. brilliant podcast
@@wideyxyz2271 Agreed 100%
I agree! If there’s a super brainy TV Exec who could think up a chat show/live band/singer thing that would work somehow…I know I’d watch it! Justin would be an amazing talk show host.
@@craigmarsh2239 I’m not using TV anymore. It’s pretty much dead & for sure it’s an utterly malign propaganda tool. Ugh.
I'm really enjoying your series Justin! Insightful, interesting and entertaining. Cheers!
I love this channel. Only discovered it today been watchin the vids for the last 6hrs great content. Cant wait for more.
Liam could probably do a stadium world tour no cap. Imagine saying this six years ago. One of the best comebacks of all time.
Really enjoy these well rounded talks over new music! As a piss poor guitar player I love watching you casually breaking the melodies. Also your tune “nobody can see me cry is banging” keep up the good work 👌🏻
1:41 I literally gasped I was so surprised. So I used to sing She's Electric and when that part of the song came in I would sing While My Guitar Gently Weeps in time with She's Electric EXACTLY like that! That was so amazing. Oh my god that made my day that was amazing!!
I,ve always dreamed of working out songs in the way Justin does, really understanding the way it's all put together, yet I,ve not been blessed with any kind of special "anything", so I think it's great to watch someone else with the gift, doing something I'll never do, keep it up,
Absolutely loved the video. I adore hearing the funny little stories. Hearing you discuss the inner workings of the song is fantastic. I could listen to you talk about music all day!! "wall of glass, a patio door at best" 😂
I love how JH breaks stuff down. Here's a guy that could be a teacher but is also successful, rare thing.
“.. a teacher but is also successful, a rare thing.”
Have you ever questioned the legitimacy of commonly perceived social constructs?
He's great, unfortunately even makes boring music like this seem worth paying attention to
Pretty sure he is teaching on his patreon
@@shauntheron9653 "have you ever questioned the legitimacy of commonly perceived social constructs". I definitely have not but what I can say is that I love music but I am one of the most atonal, non musically inclined people on this planet, I am a hopeless musician, complete mental block there anyway this Justin man explains things about music in a way that people like me can understand. Usually people who are proficient at something that people like me don't understand have trouble explaining concepts in a way that simpletons or newbies can understand.
This Justin Hawkins guy draws me in, I could watch these all day. I have just discovered him tonight and watched three videos in a row. Am I questioning the legitimacy of the social construct or not I have no idea? I'm not sure it matters...
Justin, I absolutely DEVOUR your content with how astutely you break down these songs & I was particularly interested to hear this critique. A real progression for our LG in the sun-sheeyaaayn! ☀️
Justin you are my hero 🥰
Having seen all of your videos on this channel I truly hope that all the people
Who have asked if You and The Darkness are a “joke” are now eating their words .
To anyone who has tried seriously to study music it is plainly obvious that you
are Masters of your profession .
Long live The Darkness xxx
Genius. Love it
Haven't a clue musically about everything that you explain. But I'm learning. Thank you, it's fascinating.
Came across your channel a few days ago and I've been having my daily dose of Justin ever since. Love your analysis (and generally your content), you seem like a genuinely cool dude, I wish I could take you out for a drink and chat about music :)
Justin, Love your analysis of this song and insights into the melodic elements that make it unusual, and how it harks back to Weller. Brilliant stuff
Banger of a song, though the single hits much harder than this live performance. Happy to see this man still flourishing in his music career.
I found the production quality of the single to deter away from any grit and realness this song is capable of. To each their own though!
Hook does it for me,
@@Peapodzilla I found the song generic as anything, but I guess its a fun rock song. You're bang on, the production is just kind of horrible. It has an odd poppy vibe and is poorly mixed.
Love Justin for breaking down these songs; specifically Oasis. Two legendary UK bands. Oasis and the Darkness. Love and respect from San Diego.
Justin, I always look forward to seeing you posting new videos. I love your insights. 😀
Dave Grohl wrote this tune and offered it to Liam.
I think Liam makes a great job of the vocal. His voice range is getting better with age.
No it doesn't get better. Love Liam, and his voice isn't as shot as it was a few years back, but it doesn't and will never sound as good as it did in the 90's. His voice in the 90's was exceptional, leaps and bounds better than this. Sounds ok in the studio with auto tune, but you have to be deaf not to hear that he is struggling with higher notes live.
@@galetinm I Agree
Oh no it isn't.
It's called auto tune 🤣😂😂
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDude, he doesn't sound good here.
@@matcoffidis1135 Ikr
I think its brilliant how you disect the song , lyrics and chords. A testament to you as a musician. Bravo sir!
He's a much more humorous Beato.
Sounds to me like an advanced guitar player that reads and writes music but I don't know I'm guessing but agree with you there 👍
Justin you have a great ear for this stuff i am really appreciating your videos more and more. I think to be honest a video where you have a dialogue with someone like Rick Beato would be extremely entertaining…
Thanks for the great content!
Yes a collab with Justin and Beato would be fantastic 👏
Hey Justin! Your theme song sounds particularly heartfelt today - I love your performance on this one, really!
Another cracking review. You always come across as a genuine humble guy too. Keep it up👍
Hello Justin Hawkins! Thanks for being so positive. I am by nature a negatively minded musician and trying to be much more positive. Nice to see how its done.
I’m from the States and I’ve adored Oasis for most of my life. Own all the records, know all the lyrics, love the Gallagher brothers. It’s really a shame most people here only know Wonderwall or Champagne Supernova.
Tell the truth, you were listening to Hootie & the Blowfish back in the mid 90's.
You really think most people here, on a channel that analyzes music, only know wonderwall and champagne supernova?
@@brianhenson6840 he means here in the states, not here on Justin's channel
@@adammartin7007 Yea speak for yourself.
I was born in 90. Been a rocker my whole life. Just gotten into Oasis the past year. And I cannot stop listening to them. At least every foockin day aha!
I love these videos. Best wishes to you my man 🤜🤛
Hi Justin! Your videos are great - this one is fab too! I do think for an upcoming video though, you should see how long you can maintain the stare after the second ‘again…’ in the opening jingle! 😂
The mid 90s Roskilde gig is a thing of legends, probably one of their greatest live performances
I have never seen anything like what we are seeing with Liam. I wasn't a big fan in the 90's because I was jaded and s*itty but I have never seen an artist basically disappear and then come back, bringing not only the old fan base but creating a whole new one. Cannot deny his talent even if he can be a bit obnoxious - part of the charm I guess.
Bunch of bs!
David Bowie, Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, Meatloaf - just a few off the top of my head who had major dips in their career and had an unexpected revival. Bound to be loads more.
@@Wings_of_foam can't argue with facts mate
@@charliebooth3545 No
he came back with a team of songwriters I cant give him much credit for that he just goes in the studio and sings quite badly people just like the cut of his jib that isnt a talent
What strings sizes are on your hummingbird? High bends there. Love your work. Music and this.
Really enjoying this channel! Cheers Justin.
This is a lovely breakdown 😄 really interesting and balanced. Made me smile
Ive always loved the Darkness.
My favorite live band!
Always liked how musical he is. Got a good musical brain.
Always thought Justin was one seriously talented and witty dude as well. I could listen to his views all day long. Proper good bloke!
Absolutely great to see you breaking songs down. The videos are pitched to a good level of music knowledge, approachable but not too simple.
On a separate note; I am partial to stream of consciousness, seemingly obscure, perhaps bordering on non-sequitur, lyrics. So long as they are painting a vivid enough picture to feel. I know in my own writing that is how the creative process works for me, but I end up finding shockingly deep meaning in the words after the fact. Certainly one of the things I have loved about some of the Oasis lyrics. What I love is that a song can have 100,000 distinct meanings - for the 100,000 different ears that have listened to said song. Songwriting creates fractals of experience that ripple through this dimension and whatever dimension thought exists in, in a way that is difficult to even comprehend. What a powerful medium music is. Truly awe inspiring. Love the videos as always Justin!
The story about Noel returning Paul McCartney's 1997 album "Flaming Pie" I'm certain was just tabloid nonsense. Noel has stated the title track from that album is one of his all time favourite McCartney songs and has always spoken highly of Paul. He's also long time friends with his daughters Mary and Stella, worked with him on cover of "Come Together" in 1995 for the "War Child's Help album", attended a party at his house, many of his events, including the recent "Get Back " documentary premiere and last year shared the stage with him at Stella's 50th birthday party.
saw an interview McCartney did with Howard Stern where he called Oasis' music 'a bit derivative' but that's the only negative thing i've seen.
If Justin is saying he heard it then it probably happened. Musicians don't generally tend to talk about stuff like this unless they know it happened. All these guys have producers and musicians and record studio workers who all have crossed each others paths before and generally tend talk about things that happened over the years.
It's one thing to hear it from somone on the street but a different thing entirely to be in the music business and hear it from people who may have crossed paths with the actual people involved.
@@atourdeforce You’re acting like every musician knows every single detail about all other musicians. Did you ever wonder perhaps Justin just doesn’t give a shit and all he knows are hearsay and rumours?
@@MetalizedButt Why are you acting like I said anything even close to that or that every musician knows every single detail. I said stuff like that is the exact kind of conversation that gets around between engineers and artists among the music community and studios. It's funny and a little outrageous, it would be the EXACT tid bit I'd expect to be floating around. Believe what you wants its just my opinion, I really could care less either way. I didn't expect this to turn into a conversation or something I'd have to reply to, if I'd have known then I wouldn't have bothered typing it in the first place.
Noel's got his magic pie. I'm thinking of him
Almost every time I watch an analysis of yours I have to pause the video after three minutes, play guitar for an hour and then come back to watch the rest. Analytics can be inspiring.
Haha yes peter I do the same 😂
Hey Justin ..good stuff!!!. Greetings from Sg
Slowly but surely becoming my favourite RUclips channel…nice work Justin 👌
One of my favourite nights ever was seeing The Darkness in Sheffield in 2004 (I think). We still talk about it now. I don't think I've experienced a gig like it since. It was the closest I've been to euphoria without a pill.
Love this analysis too, Mr H.
Went to see LG at a festival three years ago. He went on as N.E.R.D. was getting off another stage. Started out by saying: "Our next song's gonna be Rock-'n'-roll star. Not too fucking many of those about these days!" Went on to perform a great concert with the perfect LG voice. Huge respect.
Was it parklife by any chance !?
@@purplecircle4394 it definitely was
It was Northside, Denmark June 2018. Just googled it.
@@SilojensenDK You had to google the very same festival you attended?
@@theselector4733 Yes
Not been watching this channel for long but I find your insight and honesty to all the music you review really interesting well done mate
Only recently stumbled across these. Really interesting. I really like the music theory stuff and why things work better than others.. Ive been learning guitar for a while and got into a bit of theory recently.
I think in these years Liam's doing good works, I like his solo stuff more than Noel's, I feel him more "true" . Liam gave the rock attitude to the Oasis, they wouldn't have been who they were without him and his personality! I still love him since I was 14!😁
I appreciate your melody analysis, it's been very interesting the explication regarding the music theory of vocal line.
As a guitarist would be nice to see you to analyse a George Lynch solo and listen to your opinion.😉
I actually quite like his new single, idk i like pretty much most of his solo stuff since he came back. I always prefer his solo music over Noel's solo music
Same! As you were is great.
I'm on board with your sentiments too. Love Liam's solo wlork as his brother's work has gone downhill imo - first solo alnbum was great - everything since has been shite - Who Built The Moon - does nothing for me plus the scissors bit was just so unbelievably fucking pretentious and lame. Oh well thankfully Liam is carrying on the rock n roll tradition so it's all good ! Cheers.
Well Noel’s first couple albums were great but that was pretty much his oasis esc albums with Noel singing the “harder songs” soo…
Noel Gallagher since 2016 has been a total ego freak in a mid life crisis… mostly putting out pure shit except a few songs like dead in the water… Liam has been better since As You Were.
In terms of the arrangements, the textures of the music. Liam’s works are really thin, lack of layering, they sounds like Adele’s music to me. Noel being a musician/songwriter, he knows how to make his music rich, thick, and packed with good sounds. The choice of sounds and the instrumentation are much more colourful in Noel’s music.
And how about the chord progression and harmonies? Noel’s stuff uses more interesting chords choices. Liam’s works are not those diatonic four chord songs but it’s not far from that.
@Fred Systra
I would agree that Noel’s first album is great. The other ones were good, but doesn’t have as much impact to me as the first one. However, they are all miles ahead of Liam’s.
Dead in the Water is boring. The arrangements, the sounds, the songwriting, the harmonies...they are all lacking.
haha! I discovered your chanel yesterday, and i cant stop watching now!!! love it !
Great video, just discovered the channel. Interesting & educational, love it!
Best song he's released.
He and Grohl need to work together more often. The mix on the album version is beautiful
Nah not even close
Agree it’s good. Thought his Christmas one was good too. As JH said about Everything’s Electric, both were lyrically interesting and vocally a stretch and more ambitious than what he’s done previously. Fair play to Liam.
It's the coolest song from either Gallagher brother in a while. From what I gather, Dave Grohl had the song mostly finished and asked Liam if he wanted it. Liam's record was already finished and this came in late.
Wall of glass shits on this song.
Wow hello Justin, I have only just noticed you have your own channel where you chat & stuff, wow I have alot of videos to catch up on, loving it so far, keep it coming Justin 🤘 🎤😎 ❤ P.S. I went to see you live a few times years ago early Darkness gigs, you was Brilliant as always 🤘
Hi Justin, I am a big fan …. Could you please inform us how you got the sound you did with your les Paul on ‘Permission to Land’ ???
Big love
Tom, Leeds
Not from the UK, but a huge Oasis fan, and I think part of the problem is that rock radio basically only plays "Wonderwall" or "Supersonic" these days, so they get written off. I remember listening to "(What's the Story) Morning Glory" front to back a few years ago and being blown away by how good they actually were.
Once you hear the intro to Supersonic some would be hooked. My wife and I both knew these guys had something. And the guitar playing in Don't Look Back In anger is straight up Beatles sounding. And that is very much on purpose I always though.
Shows how lame most indie has been since 2000 that bilge like Don't Look Back in Anger seems acceptable
Brilliant as always! What do you think about a video talking about your upcoming tour mates The Dead Deads to gain interest for your upcoming states tour? Possibly listening to Fresh Kicks and Thinkers and Preyers? Looking forward to Boston on April 24th!
Was literally thinking of you doing this video earlier today.. nice one fella
With Liam it's two things for me:
1). His songwriting evolved from the laughable "Little James" to the much more surreal "I'm Outta Time" but then he realised to be a more prolific solo artist he needed a good team behind him. So overall his songs have improved.
2). Vocally he's done a lot of damage to his voice over the years, he's not likely to regain his heyday voice, but as long as he doesn't start songs like Morning Glory with:
"Ah yah dreez zuh may.... ah now ya chay to thu mirruh anna rayzah blay..."
like he started doing in Oasis I'm happy listening to him sing again. He went through quite a rough patch.
The way he would sing was.. Liam, that’s his sound, the “Oasis sound”. Pronunciation can go a long way in vocals, if done right it can get stuck in your head. That’s how a Good Vocalist can draw you in, if you love the sound and pronunciation of their vocals then you get hooked. That’s why I feel Wonderwall was such a powerful song, not only was it a well written song but the Vocals really stood out and you notice that when people sing along to it. For example, if you watch him when Oasis Performed My Generation at Later with Jools Holland in 2000, the way he pronounces the words when singing the song really sticks with you. Instantly you’d be able to tell that it is Liam singing it(not just from the sound of his voice). I think what I’m trying to say is it gives it a bit more of an identity.
As for his Damaged Vocals, it is a shame but Liam knew it was going to happen and he didn’t care like he said “I give it my all when I sing, I sing as if it’s the last time I’m singing that song”. It’s all about passion. However it is a shame as (I am probably being a bit biased here but) he was one of the greatest Rock Vocalists of his Generation(in my opinion). Nothing but Passion, Power and Emotion coming from his Throat. The Laryngitis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis Disease certainly didn’t help things as they obviously made his voice deteriorate faster but amazingly he’s still going and still sounds fucking awesome.
I think Liam has landed on a right spot for his voice and range. I think he has been sounding quite good, actually.
@@craiggallagher7292 yeah I agree, there’s definitely been a few times when watching him where you can tell it’s a bit of an off-day, if that makes sense. Its normal, it’s just at least for me those off-days seem to be more noticeable, you know?
Conversely, for every off-day he’s had there’s another when he’s fuckin on it. For example, the unplugged version of Now That I Found You (it may be the same as the album version, I don’t think so however. Iirc this one is in like Milan or smth??). That first chorus he does alone without the backing vocals and fuck me, he is hitting those high notes
@@BukkuCSouls Man wonderwall was a terrible song and it was played literally night and day on VH1. I grew up in the 90s and Oasis was a pop band. The kind of band some kid likes that only had half a dozen albums on their shelf. Don’t be lazy scratch the surface. The 90s had loads more interesting and meaningful bands. ✌️
@@megadave1197 What a Debby downer. Just because you don't like Oasis doesn't make em any less. Their b sides are also some of the best songs ever. Masterplan, acquiesce, talk tonight, etc. Stop spreading your negativity around and appreciate this gem of a band
Wall of glass,
"Liam, that's a window or patio door at best",
Brilliant, that made me laugh out loud.
Great videos Brother Justin!! Il be back for more! 👊👊👊
Fan of the band for many years, just found the channel. Don't stop. Thank you for the videos~!
Liam's singing on Once and this latest single is absolutely ace. The fact that Justin goes to his falsetto to hit the same notes as Liam in the chorus, proves what a powerful singer Liam really is. Dont ever count him out ever again. When he takes the stage at Knebworth (wish i had tickets) he's going to prove everyone who ever doubted him, wrong, Great video Justin.
I mean in fairness Justin goes into falsetto for anything higher than his speaking voice 😂
@@yoshipopthelemur haha! :-) You got me there!
how you feelin about this new Foo album?
I always preferred The Verve to Oasis, Blur etc. Nice critique Jus👍 Loved the doodooga - very rock n roll.
Yeah. A storm in Heaven is an absolute monster of an album played at high volume
I love this Channel. Justin Hawkins this is great!!
loving this channel!
Would be most interested in your views on the quality and technical ability of Tipton & Downing from Judas Priest, for me their timing together always seemed near perfection and after seeing Faulkner & Sneap renditions of their material it just confirms how good they were...
Yes neither a fan of Firepower or Sneap's production: I just can't quite put my finger on it. But like Saxon's latest it just sounds generic and not very dynamic to my ears. I respect both Faulkner and Sneap (I like his work with Hell) but they don't have the chops of Tipton and Kk.
Nice avatar
I saw them in their prime 3 or 4 times. Live they were as good as any band Ive seen. One of few bands where their live versions are better than the studio.
@@johndef5075 yep, Unleased in the East is one of the great live albums also.
I'm in the USA, and love that Liam is bringing back some of the rockier Oasis swag with Shockwave and Everything's Electric.
Quick Question: Did you enjoy filming Love Is Only A Feeling in The Blue Mountains?
Great video Justin… Funny, I tend to prefer LG’s live performances more than the studio recordings. This BRIT awards clip was one I took note of when I first saw it. Glad to see he’s still got some restlessness in him and wants to push a bit. Cheers.
Also, I will agree with you to an extent on the Oasis/RHCP UK/US thing, given there's a lot of bands I find to bee 'too American', but RHCP have never been one of those, always loved them.
RHCP is too American californian boys without t-shirt
@@FuckinLibertine noone sounds like them though, they're completely authentic.
“I subscribe to the Umberto Eco view that Noel’s a poet and Liam’s a town crier.” - Pete Doherty!
In my opinion Liam has aged like a fine wine and Noel has slowly dissolved like a flan in a cupboard 😂
Nice bit of Eddie Izzard!
Your a funny man Justin! Appreciate your take on things..always insightful and respectful. Should be everyone's Go to Rock N Roll rant..its Mine! Cheers
Hi Justin, nice coat. Where can I buy one?
Justin I actually liked everythings electric more after your breakdown. Whatever people's opinion of the Oasis guys you can't say that Liam isn't a great frontman. Not as good as you mind. I think I would move to Switzerland if you were giving lessons on music. And style, and lyrics. Much love long live the Darkness 🤟
Dave Grohl's drums on this is what grabs you first, then you allow the guitars to wash over you. Brilliant stuff. I would love to see what Dave could do with Justin. It'd be no doubt cool and far better than pretty good.
Really enjoyed your breakdown of this song which is really growing on me (scuze Darkness pun ? Lol) and the interesting points you made. Thanx Justin - keep on riding dear boy !!?? Yayah !! Rx
i love your channel always make me smile i like your opinons on music ..by the way great liam impression made me laugh
I saw Oasis once in Cardiff mainly because they had Foo Fighters, Razorlight supporting and my girlfriend (at the time) was a fan of them. They weren’t bad live but they weren’t a band who I’d go out of my way to listen to. I did buy their greatest hits record from Woolworths for £3 when they were closing down though.
I went to that gig. It was a freezing cold night in December. Decent night.
@@firetv2169 it’s each to their own with music isn’t it? I like Oasis to a point but I can’t say that I’ve ever been a proper fan of theirs.
Shoulda reacted to the studio track. He sounded better live than most were expecting but its truly a song that benefits from the great pop production it has.
Definitely, though this performance wasn't bad by all means, the studio version kicks ass.
83k subscribers, look at you go! Love the channel and love The Darkness more.
Regarding Oasis' lyrics, I recall an interview with Noel where he said that their lyrics were mostly gibberish and that he was highly amused by people trying to find any kind meaning in them. I agree, however I do think ‘Cigarettes and Alcohol’ captures pretty well the mindset of big chunk of the "Gen X" at that time.
That goes "Well you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black don't look back and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah"?

He says that because he doesn’t wanna talk about it, he likes it being unknown. Look at the lyrics on dyou know what I mean… written about the abuse he received as a child. Sure he has some gibberish songs like supersonic but most of his songs like slide away, talk tonight, half the world away, gas panic, falling down, the masterplan have meaning to him or have a direct theme for sure.
Btw cigs and alcohol is an unbelievably good song
Yep, nihilist garbage.
it's scary how much history can be re-written like this even in the age of internet
people are fucking dumb
I would also say that right after my lyrics sold millions of records just to piss pleople off
Justin exudes the kind of slightly cynical energy of a 1990’s guitar store worker who knows he can wipe the floor with most of the plink plonkers that paw the instruments he knows you can’t afford in his domain. It’s an essential role in the whole Rock’n’roll story.
What strings do use on your acoustic and gauge justin?
This was really enjoyable. The funny part is you tube only recommended it to me after I looked at ‘Justin Hawkins stops after beer is thrown’. And I was thinking oh that Darkness fella - don’t hear him as much these days. I did not expect to find this! Brilliant stuff well dissected, good humoured, informative. Also all I can think of now is Justin would have no problems hitting those high ‘Live Forever’ notes. 🤔
It's all in the songwriting. Liam and Oasis both have the songs. That plus the attitude = greatness. LG keeping the rock alive! God bless him.
And every one elses guitar riffs 👋👋👋
Justin should write a song for Liam. That would be cool.
RUclips really needed you. Thanks for your awesome content :)
I'm from the U.S. and think Oasis is amazing. I'm a fan of both brothers' solo stuff too. I thought the 50-foot-vegetable comment was hilarious. The Flaming Lips are actually my favorite band and they definitely put on a show. Seen them live 9 times. Once, I saw Noel and The Flaming Lips play on the same stage at a music festival in Columbus, Ohio (it was Noel, then Ryan Adams, then the Lips headlining). When Noel played, a lot of people seemed not to know who he was until he starting singing Wonderwall and a TON of people suddenly started to rush over toward the stage and get their phones out. And later that night one of The Flaming Lips' band members (Derek) posted a pic on Instagram of him with Noel. Good pre-Covid times!
Good spot on She's electric and While My Guitar Gently Weeps, never noticed that before!
And the chorus is you and me the kids show
This American is still madforit. There is a core of us oasis fans here. Love your videos!
Madferit you mean lol
Bravo Sir, always entertaining 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🏴
i am obsessed with both your videos and your face
Your song “Choke On It” I assumed has a direct dig at Liam:
“How's a man supposed to shiiiiine
When all you do is f***ing whiiiiine?”
Being a Manc, I always wondered about this reference!! I love the way Justin delivers these lines 😅❤
I guess I'd call myself a Liam fan - I've bought all his solo albums - but I had to laugh at "that's a patio door at best". Keep serving up the quality analysis!
I’d always gone with the idea that the wall of glass was a mirror.
Hey Justin I noticed you mentioned Paul Weller, what are your thoughts on him?
That resolution you spoke of made me think of medieval sound. Like old lute players. The Witcher song or TV show came to mind when you hit that progression 😆.
This song was co written by Dave Grohl and Greg Kursten. Grohl on drums as well.
Dave just play the drums. The song was made with Liam and Kurstin and then Dave joined. Even Dave was never in a studio with Liam for this song. Liam said this.
The song was already finished without Dave, then Dave called to join.
@@FuckinLibertine You should watch this dude. Go to 7mins - ruclips.net/video/TQTWgw39c0c/видео.html
@FuckinLibertine nah man Liam said In a radio x interview that Grohl wrote on the song as well not just played 🤙🏼
