1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,053
A quarter of a million rock fans are
2
00:00:02,054 --> 00:00:05,173
counting the hours till the
Gallagher brothers take the stage.
3
00:00:05,174 --> 00:00:06,677
Did you ever think it's
going to get this big?
4
00:00:06,678 --> 00:00:08,933
Two million people
tried to get tickets, many
5
00:00:08,934 --> 00:00:11,120
to see the band of the moment, Oasis.
6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,719
In what's been called
the gig of the decade.
7
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,520
Liam would probably say, I thought
it was going to be bigger than that.
8
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,413
Oh, I want to be a big pop star.
9
00:00:23,534 --> 00:00:24,893
I want to do loads of people's heads,
10
00:00:24,894 --> 00:00:27,133
because you're going,
look at him, look at him.
11
00:00:27,134 --> 00:00:33,373
They were one of the
biggest bands of the 1990s.
12
00:00:33,374 --> 00:00:35,173
They deserve all the praise that we get
13
00:00:35,174 --> 00:00:37,533
at the moment, because
they write the best songs.
14
00:00:37,534 --> 00:00:38,440
Because we mean it.
15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,120
We mean it, you know what I mean?
16
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,000
The most defining band
of the Britpop revolution.
17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,373
You can take the Britpop,
stick it, just file it back into it.
18
00:00:48,374 --> 00:00:49,920
It's fucking out, you can take it.
19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,613
But as they became
legends, the two brothers'
20
00:00:53,614 --> 00:00:55,440
rivalry threatened to stop the music.
21
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,080
So I was like, you know what?
22
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,333
I'm fucking out of here, you know?
23
00:00:59,334 --> 00:01:02,640
And at that point, the tour manager
came in and just went, five minutes?
24
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,480
No, but if I wanted to be eight,
I'd be a priest or something.
25
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,400
Ambition, chaos, and a band
that has refused to fade away.
26
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,040
Sometimes things ain't going right.
27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,317
A lot of things are going wrong.
28
00:01:16,318 --> 00:01:18,517
Then you go for a pose where everything's
going right and nothing's going wrong.
29
00:01:18,518 --> 00:01:20,080
So you've got to set
the roof with this move.
30
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,640
Or you've got to roll with it.
31
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,120
Some idiot want to say.
32
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,840
This is the story of Oasis.
33
00:01:37,014 --> 00:01:39,080
Manchester, England.
34
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,893
It was here in the council estates of
35
00:01:43,894 --> 00:01:48,320
Burnage that two brothers were
raised, Liam and his older brother Noel.
36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,533
The family were working
class and their parents,
37
00:01:52,534 --> 00:01:54,960
Peggy and Thomas, were Irish immigrants.
38
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,093
Their childhood was
turbulent and Noel would face
39
00:02:00,094 --> 00:02:02,920
beatings from their
violent alcoholic father.
40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:09,453
In 1982, when Noel was 15 and Liam
was 10, Peggy left Thomas to raise her
41
00:02:09,454 --> 00:02:11,280
children as a single mother.
42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,093
The boys' teenage years
were equally chaotic, with
43
00:02:16,094 --> 00:02:19,200
both often getting in trouble
at school and with the police.
44
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,453
Noel would receive six
months probation at the
45
00:02:23,454 --> 00:02:26,160
age of 14 for robbing a corner shop.
46
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,533
It would be during this
probation period that
47
00:02:29,534 --> 00:02:31,200
he first began to play the guitar.
48
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,813
Liam, on the other hand, would not get
49
00:02:34,814 --> 00:02:38,840
into music until he was 18, preferring
to spend his time playing football.
50
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,759
What do you remember of them as young men?
51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,440
Well, they were just ordinary lads, really.
52
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:46,880
And people always said,
did they fight in your shop?
53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,093
And the answer, of course, is no, because,
54
00:02:49,094 --> 00:02:50,933
I mean, there's six years between them, so
55
00:02:50,934 --> 00:02:52,360
they didn't play together, did they?
56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,413
You know, so they came in separately and
57
00:02:54,414 --> 00:02:57,320
they were just decent
lads, just decent lads.
58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,520
Although life in their
hometown could be tough,
59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,160
it was also the backdrop
of an electric music scene.
60
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,600
The Smiths,
61
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,560
the Stone Roses
62
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,320
and others used the grit of the
city to create music with impact.
63
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,480
In 1988, Liam and Noel
attended a Stone Roses gig.
64
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,093
Both brothers claimed that
the experience spurred them
65
00:03:35,094 --> 00:03:37,240
towards the path of forming a band.
66
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,013
Noel would meet guitarist
Graham Lambert of Inspiral
67
00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:47,160
Carpets during a Stone Roses show
and would become a roadie for the band.
68
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,573
Liam was invited by
school friend Paul Gwigsy
69
00:03:53,574 --> 00:03:56,693
McGuigan to join his band The Rain as
70
00:03:56,694 --> 00:04:00,080
a vocalist alongside guitarist
Paul Bonehead-Arthurs.
71
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,853
Noel returned from an
American tour with Inspiral
72
00:04:05,854 --> 00:04:08,600
Carpets and attended
one of his brother's gigs.
73
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,173
Unimpressed, Noel joined the band.
74
00:04:12,174 --> 00:04:16,560
He would take creative control of the
group and become its sole songwriter.
75
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,600
I joined Bonehead, Gwigs,
bass player, and Tony.
76
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,053
And like, we were really snide, we weren't
77
00:04:24,054 --> 00:04:25,760
going nowhere, it was really crap.
78
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,933
And then we needed songs, our kid had
79
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:29,840
songs, but he was working all the time.
80
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,333
And when he come back and he found
81
00:04:31,334 --> 00:04:32,893
out his younger brother had joined a band
82
00:04:32,894 --> 00:04:34,840
doing a bit of singing, I weren't no good.
83
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,053
And like, he just thought, yeah, I can
84
00:04:37,054 --> 00:04:38,717
make him a bit better
because I've got proper songs.
85
00:04:38,718 --> 00:04:43,093
We wrote a few songs in the first
couple of weeks with, I think Liam was
86
00:04:43,094 --> 00:04:44,853
writing the words, and
it just wasn't happening.
87
00:04:44,854 --> 00:04:46,813
So I said, well, I'm going
to write all the songs.
88
00:04:46,814 --> 00:04:49,880
We knew that given a bit of
time, we're getting the proper kind.
89
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,320
The songs will take it to where
we are, and it took it within a year.
90
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,053
Got together with these songs
and started getting our own sound.
91
00:04:56,054 --> 00:04:57,720
And then you start thinking, it was like,
92
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,277
yeah, I can do something out of this
93
00:04:59,278 --> 00:05:00,917
because it was sound that was
rocking, you know what I mean?
94
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,813
The band would tour as Oasis with a
95
00:05:09,814 --> 00:05:11,720
sound that was straightforward and bold.
96
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,093
Their early career would
be inspired by legendary
97
00:05:15,094 --> 00:05:18,200
bands like the Sex Pistols
and the Stone Roses.
98
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:24,280
Most of them were about escaping
and just having a good time.
99
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,039
Some of them were about being on
your own and not having a good time.
100
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,320
This is coming from wherever
they're coming from, I don't know.
101
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,413
Sort of, it's not, it's about, it's just
102
00:05:34,414 --> 00:05:36,973
about, I mean, I don't know,
I don't really understand it.
103
00:05:36,974 --> 00:05:38,533
I mean, I wrote them,
I don't understand it.
104
00:05:38,534 --> 00:05:40,213
But people, I mean, they mean whatever they
105
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:41,640
mean to whoever's listening to them.
106
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,933
The combination of Liam's
voice and stage presence
107
00:05:44,934 --> 00:05:47,933
with Noel's songwriting
earned them the attention of
108
00:05:47,934 --> 00:05:50,440
Alan Magee of Creation Records.
109
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,013
They would be signed for a six-album
110
00:05:54,014 --> 00:05:58,080
contract as Magee took
the tape to Sony America.
111
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,573
Oasis would then set off on a UK
tour to promote the release of their first
112
00:06:03,574 --> 00:06:05,453
single, Supersonic.
113

118

Supersonic was followed
by the release of singles
119
00:06:31,543 --> 00:06:35,253
Shaker Maker and Live
Forever, with Live Forever
120
00:06:35,254 --> 00:06:38,453
marking Oasis's first entry into the top 10
121
00:06:38,454 --> 00:06:40,240

All three singles would
appear on their debut
129
00:07:02,454 --> 00:07:07,160
album, Definitely Maybe, which
was released in August 1994.
130
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,853
The album was an immediate
commercial success, going
131
00:07:10,854 --> 00:07:14,960
to number one in the UK albums
chart within a week of its release.
132
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,533
It became the
fastest-selling debut album in
133
00:07:17,534 --> 00:07:19,240
British music history at the time.
134
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,093
We've been in this band for three
and a half years now, so I think, you
135
00:07:23,094 --> 00:07:24,157
know, we've had three and a half years
136
00:07:24,158 --> 00:07:25,893
of scumming it around,
doing whatever we've been
137
00:07:25,894 --> 00:07:28,720
doing and being on the dole and
trying to keep the band together.
138
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,453
We deserve all the praise that we get
139
00:07:30,454 --> 00:07:33,760
at the moment because we write
the best songs, because we mean it.
140
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,440
We mean it, you know what I mean?
141
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,400
The first year was hedonistic and messy.
142
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,893
You know, I mean, as soon as people
143
00:07:39,894 --> 00:07:41,357
realise that the majority of people in this
144
00:07:41,358 --> 00:07:44,840
country take drugs, then, I
mean, the better off we'll all be.
145
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,573
Oh, I want to be a big pop star.
146
00:07:48,574 --> 00:07:49,757
I want to do loads of people's heads
147
00:07:49,758 --> 00:07:51,613
because they're going, look at him, look at
148
00:07:51,614 --> 00:07:53,840
him, how long, you know what I mean?
149
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,933
But I want it and I don't, I'm not
embarrassed about it, you know what I mean?
150
00:07:56,934 --> 00:07:58,493
A lot of people get embarrassed about all
151
00:07:58,494 --> 00:08:00,413
this success that they get, they go, oh,
152
00:08:00,414 --> 00:08:02,413
I didn't really want it,
you know what I mean?
153
00:08:02,414 --> 00:08:04,133
Of course you wanted
it, you know what I mean?
154
00:08:04,134 --> 00:08:06,253
Because that's what
you go out for, you do it.
155
00:08:06,254 --> 00:08:08,720
It doesn't matter whether you're in
a band or you're anything, whatever.
156
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,080
I want to be in space, man.
157
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,733
See, the rock and roll
lifestyle was invented
158
00:08:14,734 --> 00:08:17,133
in the 70s by groups like
Led Zeppelin and stuff like that.
159
00:08:17,134 --> 00:08:18,880
Probably come off that
stage and have a good time.
160
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,480
Keep busy, do whatever you do.
161
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,080
Liam especially became a
tabloid interest for his drug use.
162
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,880
And his supposed
loutish behaviour in public.
163
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,040
He was cocky and self-assured.
164
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,800
With their relentless tour
schedule, cracks had started to show.
165
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,600
Things got to a breaking point
at a show in West Hollywood.
166
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,933
A crystal meth fuelled Liam
insulted audience members
167
00:08:46,934 --> 00:08:51,160
and threw his tambourine in
an incoherent mess of a show.
168
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,599
The incident caused Noel
to temporarily quit the band.
169
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,293
And although he would
eventually rejoin, the tone
170
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:02,373
had been set for the
tempestuous relationship that
171
00:09:02,374 --> 00:09:04,440
would be a defining feature of Oasis.
172
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,613
The episode would
later inspire the track Talk
173
00:09:07,614 --> 00:09:11,920
Tonight, which reflected a more
vulnerable side to Noel's songwriting.
174
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:15,973
The song's stripped-back,
acoustic-led sound would
175
00:09:15,974 --> 00:09:18,853
be built upon for their next album and
176
00:09:18,854 --> 00:09:22,400
become a feature of some of
the band's most enduring music.
177
00:09:30,454 --> 00:09:32,853
As they began recording
for their second studio
178
00:09:32,854 --> 00:09:36,053
album, the British
press started to report on
179
00:09:36,054 --> 00:09:40,200
a rivalry between Oasis
and another band, Blur.
180
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,880
It would become known
as the Battle of Britpop.
181
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,360
Britpop was a cultural
and musical revolution.
182
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,813
A name given to the new wave of
British bands emerging in the early to mid
183
00:09:56,814 --> 00:09:58,080
1990s.
184
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,280
The phenomena blended music,
fashion, music, and national pride.
185
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:11,160
Britpop-associated acts included
Pulp, Suede, Blur, and of course, Oasis.
186
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,720
However, Oasis would
ultimately reject the label.
187
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,960
What do you think about all
the talk about the Britpop thing?
188
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:20,800
It's flame of the year.
189
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:22,760
Britpop.
190
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,360
We're not Britpop.
191
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,160
The Universal lot, that's what
they are, we're not Britpop.
192
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,213
Because of their distinct
backgrounds and styles, Blur
193
00:10:31,214 --> 00:10:34,520
and Oasis had started to
be pitted against each other.
194
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,960
It's a battle of the press,
yeah, it's all a press thing again.
195
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,600
We didn't start this band to get into
competition with some other band.
196
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,119
We started this band to be
Oasis, to be what we wanted to be.
197
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,437
The press are going to
paint a picture, aren’t they?
198
00:10:45,438 --> 00:10:47,514
You know what I mean? You're
going to be either that or that.
199
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:49,237
And we're that, we're like
the bad boys, aren’t we?
200
00:10:49,238 --> 00:10:50,053
You know what I mean?
201
00:10:50,054 --> 00:10:52,533
It went beyond their
music and instead became
202
00:10:52,534 --> 00:10:57,320
a clash of class, regional
identity, and artistic vision.
203
00:11:03,854 --> 00:11:06,333
These are two groups, Oasis and Blur, who
204
00:11:06,334 --> 00:11:09,493
actually formed on the
indie circuit, who have
205
00:11:09,494 --> 00:11:11,333
grown more and more
popular through just playing
206
00:11:11,334 --> 00:11:13,080
lots and lots of gigs around the country,
207
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,173
and who have now crossed right over to
208
00:11:15,174 --> 00:11:19,520
the public at large, and they're
duking it out to see who is the biggest.
209
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,493
Oasis represented the
working-class northern spirit, while
210
00:11:25,494 --> 00:11:27,173
Blur was a product of the more middle
211
00:11:27,174 --> 00:11:30,600
class art school culture of
London and the South-East.
212
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,693
The personalities of the
band's members also fuelled
213
00:11:34,694 --> 00:11:39,160
the rivalry, as Liam and Noel
took aim at Blur in interviews.
214
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,477
He's said a lot of things about my
group behind our backs, you know what I
215
00:11:42,478 --> 00:11:43,197
mean, that we've heard about.
216
00:11:43,198 --> 00:11:44,320
And they were insulting things.
217
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,637
And that's fine, that's fair enough.
218
00:11:45,638 --> 00:11:50,893
If he's not got the bottle to say it to
our faces, then, you know, see you
219
00:11:50,894 --> 00:11:51,560
later.
220
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,613
The rivalry would really come to a head
221
00:11:53,614 --> 00:11:57,600
in 1995, when they released
singles on the same day.
222
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,040
Blur's Country House
and Oasis's Roll With It.

228
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,680
The media coined it the Battle of Britpop,
229
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,640
a chance for the bands to
fight for supremacy in the genre.
230
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,093
The rivalry between
Oasis and Blur is bitter,
231
00:12:25,094 --> 00:12:28,080
not just commercially, but also personally.
232
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,999
Both groups actively dislike each other.
233
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,880
I'm a little nervous about the whole thing,
234
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,253
obviously, because I
think both bands have really
235
00:12:38,254 --> 00:12:40,693
upped the stakes, and
someone's going to come
236
00:12:40,694 --> 00:12:42,613
out on top, and someone's going to come
237
00:12:42,614 --> 00:12:44,773
out second, and, you know, by the very
238
00:12:44,774 --> 00:12:47,200
nature of being in a band,
you're always quite competitive.
239
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,160
And you want to come on top, really.
240
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,680
I've got nothing to
say to them and all, but,
241
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,477
apart from get your head together.
242
00:12:54,478 --> 00:12:56,120
Stop letting your ego
getting the better of you.
243
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,373
In spite of their success at this year's
244
00:13:00,374 --> 00:13:02,893
Brit Awards, Blur have never had a number
245
00:13:02,894 --> 00:13:07,120
one single, even though their
album Parklife hit the top slot.
246
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,533
Oasis have gone one better with a top
247
00:13:09,534 --> 00:13:14,600
single, some might say, and a number
one album entitled Definitely Maybe.
248
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,080
At record stores today, the
Oasis-Blur battle gathered pace.
249
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,853
Fans saw the battle as a way to
show their loyalty to one of the bands
250
00:13:22,854 --> 00:13:24,880
or regions of Manchester or London.
251
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,533
Coming from London, that's
why I support them, really.
252
00:13:28,534 --> 00:13:31,173
But I'm going to buy
Oasis' new single as well.
253
00:13:31,174 --> 00:13:32,600
I'm going to buy both the Blur singles.
254
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,840
Are you going to go for
Oasis at all next week?
255
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:35,893
Why is that?
256
00:13:35,894 --> 00:13:38,013
Because I'm a big Blur fan, I
want them to get to number one.
257
00:13:38,014 --> 00:13:39,680
I think Oasis, definitely.
258
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,040
I think Oasis, because
they're a Manchester band,
259
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,000
and they're the best.
260
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,973
Blur would ultimately win
the battle, outselling Oasis'
261
00:13:49,974 --> 00:13:52,720
single by about 50,000 copies.
262
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,413
There's only five people
who don't really think
263
00:13:57,414 --> 00:13:59,600
about it too much, and that's
the five people in the band.
264
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,533
We just record music and put it out.
265
00:14:01,534 --> 00:14:02,557
If people can buy it, they buy it.
266
00:14:02,558 --> 00:14:04,693
If they don't, that's their prerogative.
267
00:14:04,694 --> 00:14:08,213
We're not bothered about selling
more records than anybody else.
268
00:14:08,214 --> 00:14:09,413
We couldn't care less about that.
269
00:14:09,414 --> 00:14:12,720
We know we're the best band in
the country, and it's as simple as that.
270
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,533
The rivalry is remembered as one of the
271
00:14:15,534 --> 00:14:18,613
most memorable periods
of British music history, and
272
00:14:18,614 --> 00:14:21,160
propelled both bands
to international stardom.
273
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,733
Even though the battle of Britpop was over
274
00:14:24,734 --> 00:14:28,360
in the charts, the personal spats
between the bands continued.
275
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,680
The release of What's The Story,
Morning Glory was a huge success.
276
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,973
Songs like Wonderwall and Don't Look
Back In Anger became instant classics.

The album is often cited
as their magnum opus.
284
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,533
Is this album you've made
much better than your first album?
285
00:15:15,534 --> 00:15:17,173
It's about five times as better as the
286
00:15:17,174 --> 00:15:18,397
last one, but there's no point in asking
287
00:15:18,398 --> 00:15:21,640
him here, I'm not going to say
it's shit, I'm not going to buy it.
288
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,133
It makes you think, makes you
happy, makes you cry, makes you...
289
00:15:25,134 --> 00:15:26,120
it's just real, innit?
290
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,573
In the UK, the album spent 10 weeks
291
00:15:28,574 --> 00:15:32,373
at number one and became the
second best-selling British album ever,
292
00:15:32,374 --> 00:15:35,760
behind Sgt Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band.
293
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,480
Critics praised its mix of
confidence and emotion.
294
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,333
It solidified Oasis as a symbol of working
295
00:15:42,334 --> 00:15:45,720
class ambition, which
resonated with their army of fans.
296
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,640

Scene one, a band rehearses
in smoky rooms in King's Cross,
300
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,813
but this band has a string section, because
301
00:16:06,814 --> 00:16:10,120
this band is Oasis, minus
singer Liam Gallagher.
302
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,933
Oasis albums have gone
double platinum, but they're
303
00:16:12,934 --> 00:16:14,733
a band that have appeared out of nowhere.
304
00:16:14,734 --> 00:16:18,440
Years ago, we were playing at a pub
called The Water Rats in King's Cross.
305
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,920
And just over a year ago, we
were playing in the Undra Club.
306
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,253
Scene two, Earls Court, empty of seats, is
307
00:16:25,254 --> 00:16:28,520
filled with the sound of
preparations for a huge pop concert.
308
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,253
In little more than 24 hours, this vast,
309
00:16:31,254 --> 00:16:33,853
echoing, cavernous
space at Earls Court will be
310
00:16:33,854 --> 00:16:38,413
filled with 13,500 Oasis fans, 6,500
311
00:16:38,414 --> 00:16:40,213
more will be up on the balconies for
312
00:16:40,214 --> 00:16:44,200
the biggest ever indoor
concert in this country.
313
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,040
40,000 tickets for the weekend
gigs were sold out in two days.
314
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,973
The atmosphere will
definitely sort of soak up
315
00:16:50,974 --> 00:16:54,680
through the building and everybody
should have a splendid concert.
316
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,520
And everyone's coming
to the splendid concert.
317
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,959
Who isn't coming, basically?
318
00:16:58,960 --> 00:16:59,639
Tony Blair.
319
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,466
Tony Blair's coming, Madonna,
Alec Siggins, Georgie Best,
320
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,800
Oliver Reed.
321
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:07,800
Yeah, us two, even.
322
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,333
Famed for the Mancunian
design of soft southerners,
323
00:17:11,334 --> 00:17:14,973
they actually have one, working with
drummer Alan White from Blackheath.
324
00:17:14,974 --> 00:17:16,373
And they're training him.
325
00:17:16,374 --> 00:17:17,373
You're bad. - Yeah.
326
00:17:17,374 --> 00:17:18,680
Yeah. - I'm getting there.
327
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,506
We're trying to get him off the whelks
328
00:17:21,507 --> 00:17:24,200
and the Jelly Deals or
onto some bloody fire mash.
329
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,933
And when you're as big as Oasis,
pre-gig nerves just don't figure, do they?
330
00:17:28,934 --> 00:17:31,640
I'm more worried about this spot
that's developing on my chin here, man.
331
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,760
I'm more worried about that.
332
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,293
You wouldn't be human
if you weren't nervous.
333
00:17:35,294 --> 00:17:36,520
I mean, of course I'd be nervous.
334
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,037
We'll be sort of sat on the side of
the stage about two minutes before we
335
00:17:39,038 --> 00:17:40,120
go on and we'll be going...
336
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,653
Songs like Champagne

337
00:17:44,654 --> 00:17:46,280

No, I didn't have a clue where
I was or where I was yesterday.
354
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,157
I was doing an interview this morning with
355
00:18:51,158 --> 00:18:52,197
someone and he said, where are you?
356
00:18:52,198 --> 00:18:54,013

the faintest idea, mate.

Their live performance
style, paired with the rowdy
368
00:19:34,334 --> 00:19:38,360
crowd they attracted, made for a

rise to fame culminated in two iconic
372
00:20:00,174 --> 00:20:02,440
shows at Knebworth House in Hertfordshire.
373
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,253
They performed to a record-breaking 125,000
374
00:20:07,254 --> 00:20:07,920
people.
375
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,453
With nearly 5% of the UK population
376
00:20:10,454 --> 00:20:13,280
applying for tickets to the sold-out gigs.
377
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,933
Final preparations are
being made for the arrival
378
00:20:15,934 --> 00:20:17,853
of a quarter of a million rock fans
379
00:20:17,854 --> 00:20:19,733
at Knebworth in
Hertfordshire for one of the
380
00:20:19,734 --> 00:20:21,920
biggest ever open-air concerts in Britain.
381
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,533
Two million people
tried to get tickets, many
382
00:20:24,534 --> 00:20:26,720
to see the band of the moment, Oasis.
383
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,320
And John Draper is there.
384
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,120
Oasis star Noel Gallagher,
here inspecting the stage,
385
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,613
says he can barely take in the
idea of playing in front of a quarter of
386
00:20:35,614 --> 00:20:36,680
a million people.
387
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,653
But such is the scale of the success
388
00:20:38,654 --> 00:20:41,920
of the Manchester band that
two million applied for tickets.
389
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,813
Gallagher and his brother Liam have
become the rock phenomenon of the 90s.

We just stood on the stage, so we
397
00:21:07,854 --> 00:21:11,199
don't have to comprehend what that
amount of people is going to look like.
398
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,133
As has been spoken about, I mean, it's
399
00:21:13,134 --> 00:21:15,840
like after this gig, what
are we going to do next?
400
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,813
We can't do anything but do the biggest
401
00:21:17,814 --> 00:21:20,813
gigs, so we can't play
anywhere bigger than this.
402
00:21:20,814 --> 00:21:24,333
I mean, the only other thing would
be to come back in like, do a residency
403
00:21:24,334 --> 00:21:27,333
at Elbeth or something, play every night of
404
00:21:27,334 --> 00:21:29,357
the week from 8 till 11 or something
like that, but we're not going to do
405
00:21:29,358 --> 00:21:30,000
that.
406
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,880
Did you ever think it
was going to get this big?
407
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,133
I'd be a liar if I said, yeah.
408
00:21:34,134 --> 00:21:36,880
Liam would probably say, I thought
it was going to get bigger than that.
409
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,333
But I didn't think it was
going to get this big.
410
00:21:39,334 --> 00:21:43,653
I didn't even, I didn't,
nobody thought that
411
00:21:43,654 --> 00:21:45,133
one day we'd, you know, we'd have sold
412
00:21:45,134 --> 00:21:50,600
10 million albums and we'd be
playing to 250,000 people over two days.
413
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,637
Anyone that said that,
they did believe that
414
00:21:52,638 --> 00:21:55,093
to lie, because we didn't, we thought we'd
415
00:21:55,094 --> 00:21:56,973
be, we thought we might play to like,
416
00:21:56,974 --> 00:21:59,253
you know, I mean, we thought, you know,
417
00:21:59,254 --> 00:22:00,773
when we done Earl's Court, which is 20
418
00:22:00,774 --> 00:22:04,533
,000, it was like, you know, and they
419
00:22:04,534 --> 00:22:06,693
were the biggest indoor
gigs ever in Europe,
420
00:22:06,694 --> 00:22:09,120
so it was like, you know, we thought,
421
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,120
well, it's probably as
big as it's going to get.
422
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,373
And we did Main Road, which is 40
423
00:22:13,374 --> 00:22:14,040
,000.
424
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,200
It was like, well, you know, and
then we'd, you know, it's 125,000.
425
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,333
It's just, I don't know where
it's going to go from here.
426
00:22:20,334 --> 00:22:22,280
I'd probably play iPart next to something.
427
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,720
It seemed like nothing could stop Oasis.
428
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,880
They had never been
bigger or more successful.
429
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,093
But within the band, rivalries,
arguments and controversies
430
00:22:42,094 --> 00:22:43,640
threatened to stop the party.
431
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,893
The relationship between
Noel and Liam was becoming
432
00:22:49,894 --> 00:22:53,213
more rocky, with creative
disagreements and arguments about
433
00:22:53,214 --> 00:22:54,400
personal issues.
434
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,413
These arguments played
out in the British media
435
00:22:57,414 --> 00:23:00,080
and often during Oasis live shows.
436
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,893
There were rumours of an Oasis split when
437
00:23:02,894 --> 00:23:06,760
Liam dropped out of their
1996 US tour last minute.
438
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,693
You know the story, it's in the papers.
439
00:23:08,694 --> 00:23:09,477
That's what's going on.
440
00:23:09,478 --> 00:23:10,640
You've got to move on, all right?
441
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,000
Nothing to say, that's what's going on.
442
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,200
Have you spoken to your brother, Liam?
443
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,693
How do you feel about not
being able to go to America?
444
00:23:20,694 --> 00:23:21,573
Did you hear it?
445
00:23:21,574 --> 00:23:22,400
No stories.
446
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,573
Oasis fans besiege the
North London home where
447
00:23:26,574 --> 00:23:29,053
Liam Gallagher's hiding
out for a second day.
448
00:23:29,054 --> 00:23:31,813
They got his autograph, but only a glimpse
449
00:23:31,814 --> 00:23:36,040
of the reclusive star who bought in
the heavies to stop unwanted callers.
450
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,093
When he broke cover with an unusual wave
451
00:23:39,094 --> 00:23:43,813
to the crowd, it was a fleeting
moment that left a small army of fans and
452
00:23:43,814 --> 00:23:48,080
photographers even more puzzled
about laryngitis, house hunting,
453
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,120
psychotherapy, theories all
advanced in today's press.
454
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,693
Liam would end up joining
the band three days later.
455
00:23:54,694 --> 00:23:56,637
Hey Liam, what do you want
to say to your fans in America?
456
00:23:56,638 --> 00:23:57,280
Love ya.
457
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,200
But the tour was cancelled after two weeks.
458
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,453
People close to the
brothers would admit there
459
00:24:03,454 --> 00:24:07,400
was a rift between them, but denied
any chance of the band breaking up.
460
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,193
They always have arguments,
you know what I mean?
461
00:24:09,194 --> 00:24:11,533
So I wouldn't like, I mean, I
wouldn't look into it too much.
462
00:24:11,534 --> 00:24:12,917
They had an argument in Los Angeles about
463
00:24:12,918 --> 00:24:15,920
two years ago where Noel
went on a bit of a bender.
464
00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:17,000
I think it split up then.
465
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,973
Their behaviour at the
moment is no different
466
00:24:18,974 --> 00:24:22,679
to that which it was a year
ago when I was with them.
467
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,253
The difference is that the media are now
468
00:24:24,254 --> 00:24:26,413
looking and are therefore
in a position to see.
469
00:24:26,414 --> 00:24:28,493
By all accounts, they had a pretty violent
470
00:24:28,494 --> 00:24:31,839
disagreement to cause this latest rift.
471
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,373
Are these based on jealousy or what?
472
00:24:34,374 --> 00:24:38,533
I mean, is it a sort of a creative
tension or do they genuinely loathe each
473
00:24:38,534 --> 00:24:39,200
other?
474
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,453
It's a standard sibling
relationship and as Liam
475
00:24:42,454 --> 00:24:43,893
has said in the past, if they were
476
00:24:43,894 --> 00:24:46,760
greengrocers, then they'd be
arguing about where the pears go.
477
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,773
The problem is that they are now in
a bubble, a goldfish bowl, and also the
478
00:24:52,774 --> 00:24:54,893
boredom of touring for a rock and roll
479
00:24:54,894 --> 00:24:57,733
band is what exacerbates the problem.
480
00:24:57,734 --> 00:25:01,093
If you live in a bus with your brother
for 24 hours or a thousand mile
481
00:25:01,094 --> 00:25:03,360
journey, you know,
something's going to go wrong.
482
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,853
Is there also a sense in which they're
483
00:25:04,854 --> 00:25:06,773
conscious of being very
dependent on each other?
484
00:25:06,774 --> 00:25:08,373
One of them's got the
creativity, the other's
485
00:25:08,374 --> 00:25:09,840
got the sex appeal, if you like.
486
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,453
I should think that Noel
probably dislikes the
487
00:25:12,454 --> 00:25:16,280
fact that he is tied to Liam
in any way whatsoever.
488
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,680
I think Liam is probably
less concerned about that.
489
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,320
After the stratospheric
success of their second album,
490
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,360
the pressure to surpass it also
added to tensions within the band.
491
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,280
Their third album, Be Here
Now, was released in 1997.
492
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,853
Preceded by the UK number one single, Do
493
00:25:38,854 --> 00:25:40,653
You Know What I Mean?, the album was
494
00:25:40,654 --> 00:25:43,213
their most anticipated
to date and became the
495
00:25:43,214 --> 00:25:45,440
subject of considerable media attention.

503
00:26:12,774 --> 00:26:16,973
Many critics labelled the
project as overindulgent, mirroring
504
00:26:16,974 --> 00:26:20,040
the excess of the band's rock
and roll lifestyle at the time.
505
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,533
Despite the mixed reviews, Be Here Now was
506
00:26:23,534 --> 00:26:25,493
the biggest selling album in the UK in
507
00:26:25,494 --> 00:26:31,240
1997 and debuted at number
two on the Billboard 200 in the US.
508
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,253
Following the tour of the album, the group
509
00:26:34,254 --> 00:26:38,680
kept a low profile as they were
subjected to much media criticism.
510
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,813
The release of Be Here Now is often
seen as the beginning of the end for
511
00:26:44,814 --> 00:26:45,480
Oasis.
512
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,173
Noel has since spoken
in interviews about his
513
00:26:50,174 --> 00:26:52,933
dislike of the album,
blaming their heavy drug
514
00:26:52,934 --> 00:26:55,373
use at the time alongside
the immense pressure
515
00:26:55,374 --> 00:26:57,280
following their previous successes.
516
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,213
As the new millennium
neared, Oasis returned to
517
00:27:03,214 --> 00:27:07,093
the studio to record their
fourth album, Standing
518
00:27:07,094 --> 00:27:08,680
on the Shoulders of Giants.
519
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:12,533
While the album included
moderately successful singles like
520
00:27:12,534 --> 00:27:15,240
Go Let It Out and Who Feels Love,
521
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,333
this was not the same Oasis that had
522
00:27:20,334 --> 00:27:22,680
packed out Knebworth
just a few years earlier.
523
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,573
During production, founding
members Bonehead and Gwigsy left
524
00:27:29,574 --> 00:27:31,733
the group, which led to a significant shift
525
00:27:31,734 --> 00:27:33,720
in the band's sound and dynamics.
526
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,253
Jem Arch had joined to take over Bonehead's
527
00:27:37,254 --> 00:27:41,840
role and Andy Bell from the
band Ride stepped in for Gwigsy.
528
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,613
Despite these new additions,
Standing on the Shoulders
529
00:27:45,614 --> 00:27:50,320
of Giants struggled to capture the
essence that fans had come to love.
530
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:53,293
However, the album
still managed to reach the
531
00:27:53,294 --> 00:27:59,160
top of the UK album charts and the
band pressed on, determined to continue.
532
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,813
In the 2000s, the
Gallagher brothers were still
533
00:28:03,814 --> 00:28:06,853
known for their wild
lifestyle, which included heavy
534
00:28:06,854 --> 00:28:10,440
drinking, drug use and
headline-grabbing antics.
535
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,773
Their heavy drug use had started to put
536
00:28:12,774 --> 00:28:14,733
more and more strain on the band's dynamic
537
00:28:14,734 --> 00:28:18,440
and created a reputation
for unpredictability.
538
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,733
Throughout the 2000s,
despite the turbulent inter-band
539
00:28:48,734 --> 00:28:54,200
relations, Oasis continued to release
music to varying levels of success.
540
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,733
2002 saw them release Heathen
Chemistry, which produced
541
00:29:00,734 --> 00:29:03,040
hits like Stop Crying Your Heart Out.
542
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,653
Stop Crying Your Heart
Out received mostly positive
543
00:29:07,654 --> 00:29:10,813
reviews, with some critics
comparing it favourably to
544
00:29:10,814 --> 00:29:12,680
Don't Look Back in Anger.
545
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,893
Notably, the album also
included Songbird, penned by
546
00:29:16,894 --> 00:29:20,960
Liam, marking the first
single not written by Noel.
547
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,373
It put them on steadier ground than their
548
00:29:23,374 --> 00:29:27,280
previous album, but internal
tensions continued to simmer.
549
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,893
Noel, 120,000 tickets sold in four hours.
550
00:29:29,894 --> 00:29:32,053
Even you must have been surprised by that.
551
00:29:32,054 --> 00:29:34,520
Yeah, I was surprised, not shocked.
552
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:40,573
I think, you know, I didn't think it
would go that quick, but I knew we'd
553
00:29:40,574 --> 00:29:42,477
sell them, but I didn't think we'd
do it in under four and a half hours.
554
00:29:45,054 --> 00:29:47,493
Why do you think there is
still that interest in Oasis?
555
00:29:47,494 --> 00:29:49,997
The best thing to do is to ask the fans,
because we really don't know, you know.
556
00:29:49,998 --> 00:29:52,080
We're too busy wrapping
up the music, really.
557
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,733
I can answer the guess and say
that, you know, I see people at the gigs
558
00:29:56,734 --> 00:30:00,613
who are 16, 17, 18, and we've been
559
00:30:00,614 --> 00:30:03,413
going ten years, so we must soundtrack
their lives, you know what I mean?
560
00:30:03,414 --> 00:30:04,973
So, I don't know what it is.
561
00:30:04,974 --> 00:30:09,093
I suppose it's because
we're honest and because
562
00:30:09,094 --> 00:30:14,053
we always try, we always try to be
true to ourselves and we don't fake it,
563
00:30:14,054 --> 00:30:14,821
you know what I mean?
564
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:16,557
You also seem to be going through a
565
00:30:16,558 --> 00:30:18,573
fairly creative phase
at the minute, and the
566
00:30:18,574 --> 00:30:20,213
band seems to be very cohesive.
567
00:30:20,214 --> 00:30:22,813
We don't read the stories in the
press any more than we used to.
568
00:30:22,814 --> 00:30:24,400
Is that helping you creatively?
569
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,157
The reason why I don't read the stories
570
00:30:26,158 --> 00:30:29,253
in the press is because, for want of
571
00:30:29,254 --> 00:30:30,973
a better word, the entourage that we used
572
00:30:30,974 --> 00:30:36,013
to be involved with are now no more,
and people used to pass on stories to
573
00:30:36,014 --> 00:30:40,453
the press about us for their own
games, but all that's gone now and we run
574
00:30:40,454 --> 00:30:41,573
a very little tight ship.
575
00:30:47,814 --> 00:30:50,013
And you were saying
earlier that Liam's firing
576
00:30:50,014 --> 00:30:51,413
on all cylinders, he's on four.
577
00:30:51,414 --> 00:30:52,080
Yeah.
578
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,720
If anybody's coming here
who's seen him before,
579
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,477
I'll tell you right now, you're going to
580
00:30:58,478 --> 00:31:00,040
see the best you've ever seen him ever.
581
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,533
He's just, his singing is just
amazing, it's blowing people away.
582
00:31:05,534 --> 00:31:07,867
I mean, we're twice the band when
he's on the case anyway, you know.
583
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:09,880
Hello?
584
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,800
Don't Believe The Truth came next in 2005,
585
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,960
emerging as one of the band's
most successful albums of the decade.
586
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,973
Critics praised Don't
Believe The Truth as Oasis's
587
00:31:22,974 --> 00:31:26,080
best album since What's
The Story Morning Glory.
588
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,120
The supporting tour covered
26 countries, 113 shows,
589
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,693
and drew over 3.2 million fans.
590
00:31:33,694 --> 00:31:38,560
It was the band's smoothest and
most successful tour in a decade.
591
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,333
After the success of
Don't Believe The Truth
592
00:31:43,334 --> 00:31:46,893
and its record-breaking
tour, the Gallagher brothers'
593
00:31:46,894 --> 00:31:50,760
past relationships continued
to shape their public personas.
594
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,493
Liam's turbulent marriage
to Patsy Kensett had ended
595
00:31:55,494 --> 00:32:00,000
years earlier, followed by a rocky
relationship with Nicole Appleton.
596
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,653
Meanwhile, Noel's first
marriage to Meg Matthews had
597
00:32:04,654 --> 00:32:08,053
also dissolved in 2001,
though he later found
598
00:32:08,054 --> 00:32:10,320
stability with Sarah MacDonald.
599
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,053
Their romantic relationships
were often just as chaotic
600
00:32:14,054 --> 00:32:18,840
as their sibling rivalry and remain
a key part of the Oasis story.
601
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,480
Their final studio album
was released in 2008.
602
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,133
Dig Out Your Soul saw
backstage tensions between
603
00:32:27,134 --> 00:32:29,560
Liam and Noel at an all-time high.
604
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:40,133
Our old relationship was never as
bad as people made out, you know.
605
00:32:40,134 --> 00:32:43,613
But it wasn't like, you know, we weren't
606
00:32:43,614 --> 00:32:45,400
like Milli Vanilli, do
you know what I mean?
607
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,680
Whatever that means, I don't know, but...
608
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,400
I assume they got on.
609
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,613
It kind of all started to unravel, if
610
00:32:55,614 --> 00:32:59,000
I'm being honest, when
he started his clothing label.
611
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:00,280
And...
612
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:02,440
He...
613
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,213
demanded that in the
Oasis tour programme that
614
00:33:08,214 --> 00:33:10,493
he be allowed to advertise it, which I
615
00:33:10,494 --> 00:33:15,013
was against because I didn't think that it
616
00:33:15,014 --> 00:33:19,640
was right for him to be
flogging his gear to our fans.
617
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,760
And there was a massive row about that.
618
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,853
And it kind of went back and
forward for a bit, as I remember it, and
619
00:33:27,854 --> 00:33:29,133
in the end I said, all right, well,
620
00:33:29,134 --> 00:33:32,040
if you want to advertise in
the programme, how much?
621
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,197
And he couldn't get his head around that.
622
00:33:35,198 --> 00:33:37,040
It slowly went downhill from there.
623
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,920
However, the band would assure
fans that Oasis were going nowhere.
624
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,053
So, there's been a lot of rumours.
625
00:33:45,054 --> 00:33:46,757
Bookie's saying that this
might be the last Oasis.
626
00:33:46,758 --> 00:33:47,453
It's not.
627
00:33:47,454 --> 00:33:48,613
Where does that come from?
628
00:33:48,614 --> 00:33:50,240
I don't know.
629
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,213
People make comments all the
time about any stock in any of it.
630
00:33:54,214 --> 00:33:55,893
So you can nail that
rumour on London tonight?
631
00:33:55,894 --> 00:33:57,400
Yeah, we're never going to spoil.
632
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,397
You're going to end up
like the Rolling Stones?
633
00:34:00,398 --> 00:34:01,213
Hopefully, yeah.
634
00:34:01,214 --> 00:34:04,160
What's it like, Neil Young on the
stage, pushing 70 at Glastonbury?
635
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,413
You know, as long as people
want to see it, we'll do it.
636
00:34:06,414 --> 00:34:07,280
Do you know what I mean?
637
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,933
And I think I speak
for the rest of the band.
638
00:34:09,934 --> 00:34:14,120
We all really enjoy being in
the studio and making music.
639
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,493
In 2009, Oasis were due to appear at
640
00:34:18,494 --> 00:34:21,373
V Festival in Chelmsford,
but dropped out last
641
00:34:21,374 --> 00:34:23,773
minute due to Liam contracting laryngitis.
642
00:34:23,774 --> 00:34:25,613
You know, he didn't turn up for the
643
00:34:25,614 --> 00:34:30,240
V Festival gig because he had an hangover.
644
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,200
You know, he claimed he had
laryngitis, but whatever, you know.
645
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,720
And there was a lot of
bad press around that.
646
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,013
I think that was the problem.
647
00:34:42,014 --> 00:34:43,293
All of a sudden, Noel sort of just
648
00:34:43,294 --> 00:34:45,200
went, Whoa, whoa,
what's going on here, man?
649
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,733
You mean he's still drinking
and smoking and staying up?
650
00:34:47,734 --> 00:34:50,880
He pulled out this billbook of like,
No, no, we've got to behave now.
651
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:52,773
Nah, that doesn't work.
652
00:34:52,774 --> 00:34:56,613
Behaving and being in Oasis
is, you know, doesn't work.
653
00:34:56,614 --> 00:34:57,599
I would not behave.
654
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,853
I'd get the gigs done, but I'd
certainly be having a crack.
655
00:35:01,854 --> 00:35:03,277
That's what rock and
roll is about, isn't it?
656
00:35:03,278 --> 00:35:04,160
Having a laugh.
657
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:07,600
Who wants to see people
walk on stage and behave?
658
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:08,973
That's not what it's about.
659
00:35:08,974 --> 00:35:13,040
If I wanted to behave, I'd
be a priest or something.
660
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:19,160
Their tour had many more scheduled
dates, but Oasis wouldn't appear again.
661
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,053
They were due to play a show in
662
00:35:21,054 --> 00:35:27,173
Paris a week after, but a backstage
altercation spelt the end for the band.
663
00:35:27,174 --> 00:35:28,560
And it was quite violent.
664
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,133
At that point, there
hadn't been any physical
665
00:35:32,134 --> 00:35:35,173
violence, but it was kind of, you know,
666
00:35:35,174 --> 00:35:37,653
it's a bit like WWE wrestling, and he
667
00:35:37,654 --> 00:35:40,053
was like the macho man Randy
Savage, do you know what I mean?
668
00:35:40,054 --> 00:35:42,653
There was a lot of, ooh, yeah, and
all that gear going on, and it's like,
669
00:35:42,654 --> 00:35:43,720
fucking hell, you know?
670
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,733
And he kind of storms out of the
dressing room, but on the way out, and
671
00:35:47,734 --> 00:35:50,573
I'm glad it never ended like this,
but on the way out, he picked up a
672
00:35:50,574 --> 00:35:54,813
plum, and he threw it across the dressing
673
00:35:54,814 --> 00:35:57,160
room, and it smashed against the wall.
674
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,733
Now, part of me wishes it kind of
675
00:35:59,734 --> 00:36:00,797
did end like that, because that would have
676
00:36:00,798 --> 00:36:02,320
been a fucking great headline, you know?
677
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,000
Plum throws plum and finishes
fucking Oasis, do you know what I mean?
678
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,320
And so then he kind of leaves.
679
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,493
He goes out the dressing room, and for
680
00:36:12,494 --> 00:36:14,533
whatever reason, he
went to his own dressing
681
00:36:14,534 --> 00:36:16,213
room, and he came back wielding it like
682
00:36:16,214 --> 00:36:17,600
an axe, and I'm not fucking kidding.
683
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:22,053
And I make light of it, because it's
kind of, you know, it's kind of what
684
00:36:22,054 --> 00:36:24,533
I do, but it was just a real
685
00:36:24,534 --> 00:36:28,213
unnecessary violent act,
and he's swinging this guitar
686
00:36:28,214 --> 00:36:29,600
around, and he kind of...
687
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,120
You know, he nearly took
my face off with it, you know?
688
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,053
It sounds by all accounts like maybe it
689
00:36:36,054 --> 00:36:38,253
wasn't as explosive an event back there in
690
00:36:38,254 --> 00:36:39,973
that dressing room as the reality.
691
00:36:39,974 --> 00:36:40,640
No, no.
692
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:41,760
It wasn't.
693
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,600
Not in my books it wasn't.
694
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:46,480
It wasn't.
695
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,933
But it obviously wasn't.
696
00:36:47,934 --> 00:36:49,797
I just think he wanted out,
man, you know what I mean?
697
00:36:49,798 --> 00:36:51,197
To be quite honest, I think he's probably
698
00:36:51,198 --> 00:36:52,893
got a batch of songs that he doesn't
699
00:36:52,894 --> 00:36:55,493
want his brother singing
or whatever, and he
700
00:36:55,494 --> 00:36:58,680
wants to go down another road, but
that's cool, you know what I mean?
701
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,600
It was Noel who finally
decided to end the group.
702
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,693
I mean, there was people in the band
703
00:37:04,694 --> 00:37:06,573
not saying anything, kind
of looking the other way.
704
00:37:06,574 --> 00:37:08,317
It wasn't even a big dressing
room, do you know what I mean?
705
00:37:08,318 --> 00:37:10,327
We were all involved in it, and
nobody was saying anything.
706
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,520
So I was like, you know what?
707
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,573
I'm fucking out of here, you know?
708
00:37:15,574 --> 00:37:19,720
And at that point, the tour manager
came in and just went, five minutes.
709
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:27,533
I kind of got in the car, and I
sat there for five minutes, and I
710
00:37:27,534 --> 00:37:28,477
just said, fuck it, that's it.
711
00:37:28,478 --> 00:37:30,893
I can't do it anymore, you know?
712
00:37:30,894 --> 00:37:31,653
And there you go.
713
00:37:31,654 --> 00:37:36,880
And it's a shame because I
was comfortable in that band.
714
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,093
I'd perfected that role of that guy who
715
00:37:41,094 --> 00:37:43,173
just stood on the right and played the
716
00:37:43,174 --> 00:37:45,799
lead guitar and done backing
vocals and sang the acoustic.
717
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,013
I fucking mastered that.
718
00:37:47,014 --> 00:37:48,693
It took me 18 years.
719
00:37:48,694 --> 00:37:51,400
It took me to fucking get that
right, and I was brilliant at it.
720
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,077
And if anybody came to the last tour,
721
00:37:53,078 --> 00:37:54,487
you'll know, I mean, I was fucking great.
722
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:03,773
But at the end of the day, he's
obviously not, he doesn't like me, but he
723
00:38:03,774 --> 00:38:05,493
doesn't like me in a violent way.
724
00:38:05,494 --> 00:38:06,877
I don't get on with him,
you know what I mean?
725
00:38:06,878 --> 00:38:11,613
But he kind of takes it to a level
that's, for me, there's no point in
726
00:38:11,614 --> 00:38:13,480
being in a band with people you fight with.
727
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:14,893
What's the point?
728
00:38:14,894 --> 00:38:16,133
Just go on and do bigger tours and
729
00:38:16,134 --> 00:38:19,013
make more fucking money and
just always be arguing about shit.
730
00:38:19,014 --> 00:38:20,280
It's just nonsense.
731
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,320
So I kind of did everybody a favour.
732
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,240
See him at the football
every now and again.
733
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,077
And that's it. Don't see him on
the streets, you know what I mean?
734
00:38:31,078 --> 00:38:34,720
I don't really got... He doesn't
move in the circles that I move in.
735
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,120
I see my mum when I
see her, regardless of him.
736
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,613
If he's there, he's there, but he's
not there when I see her or when she
737
00:38:40,614 --> 00:38:41,480
comes down to me.
738
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,893
I don't want the band to get back together.
739
00:38:43,894 --> 00:38:45,197
We shouldn't have split
up, you know what I mean?
740
00:38:45,198 --> 00:38:46,677
There was no big deal,
you know what I mean?
741
00:38:46,678 --> 00:38:51,693
He's making out as if I've stabbed
one of his cats or slapped one of his
742
00:38:51,694 --> 00:38:55,133
kids or, dare I say it, tried it on with
his missus, you know what I mean?
743
00:38:55,134 --> 00:38:56,933
It's like, leave it out, mate.
744
00:38:56,934 --> 00:38:58,277
It's like we had a little argument, you
745
00:38:58,278 --> 00:39:01,653
know what I mean, about
things, you know what I mean?
746
00:39:01,654 --> 00:39:04,293
It wasn't just... We've always
argued, you know what I mean?
747
00:39:04,294 --> 00:39:07,573
So I just think he wanted
out, you know what I mean?
748
00:39:07,574 --> 00:39:09,277
And he wanted to make me the
scapegoat, you know what I mean?
749
00:39:09,278 --> 00:39:10,637
He obviously wasn't
getting enough attention.
750
00:39:10,638 --> 00:39:12,547
He just wanted it all for
himself, you know what I mean?
751
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,733
Although it appeared Oasis
was finished, their musical
752
00:39:16,734 --> 00:39:19,200
legacy continued to influence the scene.
753
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:23,093
Bands like The Killers
and Coldplay have often
754
00:39:23,094 --> 00:39:25,360
cited Oasis as a key inspiration.
755
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,653
Following the dissolution of
Oasis, both brothers pursued
756
00:39:32,654 --> 00:39:36,373
solo ventures, though neither
arguably reached the heights
757
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:38,280
of success achieved by the band.
758
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,640
Well, it's me and it's Gem and it's Andy.
759
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,120
We've got a new bass player who's mega.
760
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,320
We've got the old drummer, Chris Sharrock.
761
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,013
We've got the old keyboard player.
762
00:39:47,014 --> 00:39:49,573
We're sort of going through
the mill about getting new names.
763
00:39:49,574 --> 00:39:50,520
Nothing's sticking.
764
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,133
So we've sort of drawn the
line on the names at the moment.
765
00:39:54,134 --> 00:39:55,517
Obviously, people are
always going to go, yeah,
766
00:39:55,518 --> 00:39:57,400
we're still Oasis, but
it's not Oasis anymore.
767
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,280
Life's too short to be...
768
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,600
about with what people think.
769
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,557
We'll see what happens,
you know what I mean?
770
00:40:07,558 --> 00:40:09,967
When the record's done, we're
concentrating on the music at the moment.
771
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,640
Liam continued with the other
band members in a group called BDI.
772
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,320
The group released two
albums before disbanding in 2014.
773
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,800
Liam would then launch a solo career.
774
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,813
People are asking me about what I'm doing.
775
00:40:24,814 --> 00:40:26,040
I'm telling them how it is.
776
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:27,397
And I'm telling them, people are asking me
777
00:40:27,398 --> 00:40:31,013
about, no, I'm not going to not shut up
and go, you can't speak about your brother.
778
00:40:31,014 --> 00:40:32,693
He's my brother, you know what I mean?
779
00:40:32,694 --> 00:40:34,893
And people forget that
he's been speaking about
780
00:40:34,894 --> 00:40:36,853
me in recent things, and they just think
781
00:40:36,854 --> 00:40:38,517
that I'm the one who's blabbing
it, you know what I mean?
782
00:40:38,518 --> 00:40:41,399
But he's doing his thing.
783
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,600
We're doing our thing.
784
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,160
I wish them all the best.
785
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,600
Don't release it the same day
as us, because we'll have you.
786
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,853
And I'm feeling really confident
about that, you know what I mean?
787
00:40:49,854 --> 00:40:51,093
But I don't wish it on him.
788
00:40:51,094 --> 00:40:52,117
He's my brother, you know what I mean?
789
00:40:52,118 --> 00:40:52,880
I love him to death.
790
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,813
Noel would form the
band Noel Gallagher's High
791
00:40:56,814 --> 00:41:00,800
Flying Birds in 2010, which
would act as his solo project.
792
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,560
For the next 15 years, Liam and
Noel had virtually no relationship.
793
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,213
In January 2024, Liam
revealed he hadn't even
794
00:41:15,214 --> 00:41:18,693
spoken to his brother
since the 2009 confrontation.
795
00:41:18,694 --> 00:41:23,960
This revelation made what would
happen next even more surprising.
796
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,000
Me and him are like telepathic,
you know what I mean?
797
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,960
I know my brother better than anybody else.
798
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,400
When both come together, love, greatness.
799
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,653
Liam and Noel shocked fans in late August
800
00:41:51,654 --> 00:41:56,293
of 2024 when they announced an Oasis 2025
801
00:41:56,294 --> 00:41:57,400
stadium tour.
802
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,973
I kind of teach my kids, like, this
803
00:41:59,974 --> 00:42:03,760
is a massive, massive thing, Oasis
getting back together after 15 years.
804
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,413
I think it's pretty overwhelming
for people, actually.
805
00:42:07,414 --> 00:42:08,679
I think they're a bit shocked.
806
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:09,480
Oh, I'm buzzing.
807
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:11,240
Yeah, can't wait.
808
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:18,720
And suddenly, the Oasis cultural
phenomena last seen in the 90s was back.
809
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,533
Words can't explain how I'm feeling.
810
00:42:22,534 --> 00:42:24,653
Feeling a feeling of dread that I won't
811
00:42:24,654 --> 00:42:26,533
get a ticket, feeling of excitement if I
812
00:42:26,534 --> 00:42:28,520
do get a ticket, a feeling of anticipation,
813
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:29,914
thinking, oh my goodness.
814
00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:33,880
Demand for the tickets was astronomical.
815
00:42:34,240 --> 00:42:36,173
Spent my whole life, like, listening to my
816
00:42:36,174 --> 00:42:38,293
dad telling stories of Oasis and Oasis gigs
817
00:42:38,294 --> 00:42:40,253
and thinking, oh my God, what I'd do
818
00:42:40,254 --> 00:42:42,653
to live through that and this happening.
819
00:42:42,654 --> 00:42:44,853
It's just, like, I found
out and I was in tears.
820
00:42:44,854 --> 00:42:47,120
I've cried about five
times already about it.
821
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,013
The announcement of the
Oasis reunion has brought
822
00:42:50,014 --> 00:42:54,013
together generations young
and old, proving that after
823
00:42:54,014 --> 00:42:57,360
all the chaos, the music
was always worth the wait.
824
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,973
It's a great ongoing soap opera, isn't it?
825
00:42:59,974 --> 00:43:02,853
It's a nice conclusion
to a great story, isn't it?
826
00:43:02,854 --> 00:43:04,813
One of the great British
rock and roll stories.
