Noel has never hidden who has influenced his music and songwriting. Its obviously The Beatles of course. Most have taken it as a compliment and with humour. Neil Innes was asked if Oasis were better than The Beatles he replied they weren't even better than The Rutles 😅 I remember reading years ago Noel saying that This Guy's in Love with You was his favourite love song. He got to perform it with Bacharach which is amazing and he has also performed with his hero Paul McCartney too 👋

[@TicketTooooRide]

You'll often find nods in Noel's songs-a guitar lick here, a melody snippet there, or a lyric. Still, it's important to recognize that 99% of the songs are undeniably Noel's own. So, it wouldn't be fair to overlook his songwriting ability. Consider "Supersonic," where the solo draws inspiration from "My Sweet Lord," ultimately, the song's essence is entirely Noel's creation. A lot of artists have done this but shy away from admitting it, Oasis gets so much flack because their honest about it. I'd recommend giving Oasis a chance, especially their first album. It seems like you might have some preconceptions.

[@andyquin5386]

There's a not very good film called "yesterday" about a man who has an accident, wakes up, and slowly realises that he's in an alternate world that has never heard of the Beatles, so he passes off their songs as his own. The only good joke in the film is when he's researching what's going on, googling everything Beatles related, types in "Oasis" and google gives back zero results lol

[@laurajarvis3156]

I bloody love that film! Liverpool has a place in my heart and my ma loves the beatles so it's just a singalong film. I know it's not the beatles, but it's a cute use of their music, and yeah it's a silly romcom but it's adorable

Through out musical history people have been inspired by other bands that they love, not only does it breath new life to music but opens the door to the bands that inspired them for a new generation. I thank Oasis for opening the door to my love to the Beatles that I just couldn’t get before discovering oasis when I was growing up. Every chord sequence has been used many time before, check out the 4 chord song for fun.

My wife used to work in the box office at the old Wembley stadium back in the late 80's, She was working while Stevie Wonder was rehearsing and, as was his habit, he asked who was around the stage while he was playing, his assistant told him my wife was watching so he dedicated and performed a song for her......

[@timegan1884]

I love The Beatles songs and I love Oasis songs. I don't care if it's ripped off. If it sounds good, i am happy to listen and sing along.

[@mattpotter8725]

I hate to tell you this, but The Beatles were influenced by and also ripped off older songs. You can go through every song from the 90s and show they use chord progressions or small segments that are similar to other songs. There are only a certain number of chord progressions that are possible and so there are always going to be similarities between songs. I grew up on The Beatles and them, my parents were coming of age when they first hit the scene. When I went to university and Britpop and bands like Oasis hit the scene I instantly loved their music, probably for nostalgic reasons of growing up on The Beatles. I don't think Noel, and Oasis, have ever said that they weren't influenced by The Beatles and other bands. I think you should also realise where the Gallagher brothers were from and the environment they grew up in, it wasn't an affluent part of Manchester and they had a father, who their mum eventually took herself and her boys away from, who beat them, abused them. I think you are somewhat projecting your own personal life experience (which I don't know about, but hope it wasn't as deprived as theirs was) and using this to almost expect them to have behaved like you would. I suggest watching a documentary on them from the early years because even when I started liking their music I didn't particularly like them as people, it is why Oasis cancelled tour dates and eventually split up I believe, the continual rift between Noel and Liam. Is this enough reason not to like them? Sure. But you seem(ed) to dislike them for having a sound similar to The Beatles who you love, which is why I them in the first place!!! In the end as suggested in this video I don't this Noel ever properly sat down to plagiarise else's music. They did "borrow" aspects of songs from other artists, done more intentionally than others, they were bigger Beatle's fans then you or I will ever be, and where this has infringed copyright holders they've had to pay, but this has happened to many artists and you don't hate them do you? I'm glad that you admitted at the end that you might not hate them as much as you did. Just take their music as being an extension of The Beatles (even if it's inferior in your eyes) and enjoy their music for what it is that's what I do.

[@grahamgresty8383]

A common practice (especially at Motown) was to take a hit record and reverse all the notes. New lyrics, and you have an 'original' recording!

[@estebancomulet]

I really don't think Oasis were any worse at lifting riffs and stuff from other songs, they were just more obvious about doing it, and admitted doing it over and over. The Beatles even did it - look up where Come Together came from. Same with I saw her standing there. Both lifted riffs and melody from Chuck Berry. Everyone does it - Oasis were no worse.

[@jonjay9408]

It is entirely possible that by now, or pretty soon to now, the different combinations of cords and notes have been tried. So therefore, all we may have left is a different perspective and maybe baby, different lyrics. If you like it bro, go with the flow!

If you don't know Neil Innes you will probably recognise him as the leading minstrel of Sir Robin's entourage in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. He wrote and sang all the songs in the film. If you really want to get to know him though, you should check out his band the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band that he created with Viv Stanshall. Viv sings on most of the songs but a famous one that Neil sings on is Urban Spaceman and it's great!

[@iantellam9970]

When Brahms Symphony no 1 was first performed someone afterwards came up to him and pointed out its striking melodic similarity with the Ode to Joy melody from Beethoven’s Ninth - he famously responded: “Any fool can see that!” I mean, it's kind of what Noel is saying, right? lol They do say 'good artists borrow, great artists steal'. Probably doesn't fly in a legal setting though...

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

When Oasis came out I loved them, though I knew they were heavily influenced by The Beatles (as are many of my favourite bands), and the T.Rex riff seen here. But I liked them as they were raw and had a bit of attitude. The music media put them up against Blur, a band from the south of England who were considered 'soft' to the 'harder' northern edge of Oasis. And I didn't care much for Blur either even though I'm a southern softie! Lol. Over the years though, I've grown tired of Oasis, and not from all the lifted parts from so many other songs. As others have said here, Noel didn't hide his influences and all artists borrow from everyone else. I like that Oasis pull so much from the 1960s-1970s as that is my favourite musical period. But... I went to see Blur live and though can't call myself a fan, their music was so much more diverse, and there's the rub. Oasis are pretty one dimensional. Their music is more samey than most. Which is fine, if you like that, and some other bands have made careers of a similar formula: AC/DC, Status Quo, The Rolling Stones. I just got bored with Oasis' lack of inventiveness. Noel said in an interview that he'd give all his band's albums to have written the one album The Sex Pistols released, Never Mind The Bollocks. I'm glad he said that, because all of Oasis' albums are not a tenth as good or significant as that one Pistols album.

[@thefrontrank2006]

[@paultaylor9498]

[@Tass...]

Rip-offs or influences? Because these axamples are tiny parts of songs and not reflective of a song as a whole. Also... Even if there are parts borrowed from others. Music has a limit of how many chords exist. Crossovers are inevitable and there is no denying that Noel Gallaghers real talent was as a lyricist. Which are all original. That's the flip side of this coin.

[@Josh-cm9jw]

You could find a million and one clips of Noel brazenly admitting to lifting bits of songs, it's not something he's ever been ashamed of or felt the need to hide away from. As far as he sees it, if it was that easy to build a band from nothing to becoming one of the biggest bands of the decade just by lifting bits from everyone else, everyone would be at it. He backs his ability to stitch it together with his own stuff, putting his own spin on it and you have to say it's worked for him.

Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, also known as the Tallis Fantasia, is a one-movement work for string orchestra by Ralph Vaughan Williams. The theme is by the 16th-century English composer Thomas Tallis, "borrowing" is as old as the hills. Ralph Vaughan Williams OM (/ˌreɪf vɔːn ˈwɪljəmz/ ⓘ RAYF vawn WIL-yəmz;[1][n 1] 12 October 1872 - 26 August 1958) was an English composer. His works include operas, ballets, chamber music, secular and religious vocal pieces and orchestral compositions including nine symphonies, written over sixty years. Strongly influenced by Tudor music and English folk-song, his output marked a decisive break in British music from its German-dominated style of the 19th century. If J S Bach was still alive he might well be a very rich man.

[@kylecs3586]

One of the more *very* obscure ones is 'Fuzzy' by Grant Lee Buffalo, which Noel ripped for 'Hey Now'. Only known him to mention it once briefly in an interview where he talked of breaking the States in '94, he heard it on a compilation and took the riff because the songwriter was far too obscure and knew he could get away with it.

[@lynnejamieson2063]

Burt Bacharach also had a major resurgence in interest in his songs due to a portrait of him being featured on the cover of the first Oasis album with many many Bacharach compilation albums being sold off the back of it…as this was before KZbin and music streaming sites, so you had to either borrow or buy the music to know what it was.

Ironically, female pop group Girls Aloud were sued by Noel Gallagher because one of their songs sounded like one of Oasis's songs. It may have been the music publisher rather than Gallagher himself, but even so the hypocrisy is breathtaking.

[@stevenhartley1350]

The problem is if you go back in time music produced now or even in the not so distant past eg 1940 onwards may have used chord progression and placement equal to note and chords used on music by Mozart, Brahms or even Tchaikovsky. So my question would be how far back would song writers have to go back to make sure that their music doesn’t have any correlation to other music writers of the past? Heck even musicians from the 40’s & 50’s had music scores that were very close/matched music from the turn of the century. Another thing I noticed is some of the score may have had similar timings but the note and composition were different keys and positioning eg one maybe e-flat 2 a semi quaver, where Noel’s may have been E-sharp with a slide to E-flat. I am from Manchester but I am very eclectic with my tastes in music, eg from classical to rock including pop and reggae etc. I do like some of oasis’s music but I also love music from other bands from the same era. I enjoy music from the 1940’s to some modern music (except drum and bass music also I not keen on modern metal bands, as I prefer music that has a melody and lyrics).

[@geoffsmith1479]

Personally, I loved Oasis from day one. All the 'Beatles rip-off' jibes were levelled at them from the start but I feel this missed the mark of why they hit the heights that they did. In a country reeling from the sugary manufacture of the Spice Girls and Take That, we got presented with the likes of Oasis, Pulp, Blur, Suede etc. I quite liked Suede but they were not very anthemic and a bit more conceptual. Not denying that Blur were popular, but to me they just felt like insecure middle-class undergrad's who were punching downward in their songs and wanting to sell to the targets of their songs which never sat well with me. Pulp were uniquely annoying thanks to the insufferable Jarvis Cocker who always hid behind his poundshop intellectualism and was always wearing his 'I'm oh-so-wry' mask. Oasis just felt raw and real, and their backgrounds were inescapably the same as their target audience. No matter where the music came from, Oasis added their own feel and attitude and it was always delivered by a band who felt like 'one of us' (regardless of the reality). This was what went wrong with later stuff, I suspect as they moved further from their roots, they've lost that GENUINE anger, despair, hopelessness, hopefulness and at best tried to simulate it. I couldn't care where the music originated. I'm just the listener. Leave that argument for the lawyers. If it feels right, it feels right and that's all I wanted. Oasis delivered that for me

[@titanium_di2402]

Oasis, Pulp, Blur, Suede??? They ALL predated Spice Girls by nearly a decade. Fair enough, they didn't hit the charts before the 90s, but their music wasn't some kind of reaction to the bubblegum of SG or other bands of that ilk. Try not to rewrite history.

It was more of a nod to their influences but also an in-your-face Manc scally attitude thing, too.

There’s a whole other level to this, a geopolitical aspect of global significance. It works like this. The Beatles (and, incidentally The LA’s) were from Liverpool. That’s not just the greatest musical city of the world, but also the greatest football (soccer) city of the world. Oasis are from Manchester, a vile cesspit and actual portal to Hell. Think of the fridge in Ghostbusters, but with those hideous, nasal, moaning voices typified by the Gallaghers. In the 19th century, through the peak of the British Empire, a fierce rivalry developed between these two cities, only a short distance apart. Liverpool hit the heights first, as a trading port becoming the central hub of the British global trading empire. Indeed a huge percentage of all imports into Europe came via Liverpool. Meanwhile late comer Manchester rose from an irrelevant village to a loathsome, soot-stained, foul-aired factory-dominated city which came to exemplify the horrors of the Industrial Revolution. Mancunians then and still today live with the crushing burden, not just of their collective inferiority complex, but with the agonising reality of their actual municipal inferiority. On top of all that, the 20th century saw English football become dominated by a rivalry between the cities of the two clubs. Hence a similar nagging insecurity felt by Mancunian football supporters over their fundamental sporting inferiority to Merseyside. Here’s where the Gallaghers come in. They are the highest profile supporters of one of the two Manchester clubs. The supreme irony? They genuinely worship the Beatles. Only an experienced psychoanalyst could possibly help them out with whatever tortured complex emerged from the conflict between their Mancunian heritage and their love of, hence acknowledgment of the superiority of, Liverpudlian music. Not mentioned in the video, but the brothers even ripped off Beatles haircuts, so comprehensive is their homage to the cultural superiority of the rival city. I hope that’s cleared up a few things for you all. BTW I am not in any way whatsoever biased in favour of Liverpool. YNWA! 🙂

"Finally he admitted to it " said directly after watching an interview from the 90s ffs

[@adamhearne2825]

😂😂 only about 3 months after the songs release

[@TheQuietBrit]

"All Oasis songs are just Beatles rip offs"..... Me laughing while listening to Headshrinker

[@adamhearne2825]

😂😂 I know right oasis much more similar to the likes of slade and the Sex Pistols then the Beatles

[@manxmanc4951]

The comedy duo Hale and Pace did a very good skit about oasis 😄

[@justintime1307]

Basically every single song since someone come up with guitar cords is then by description a rip off

[@michaeljohn1978]

Never knew about The Real People one. That was less ripping-off, more cover version but with different chords lol. But I already knew The Real People helped Oasis record their demo in their Liverpool studio, so I'm guessing Noel had permission to do that

[@Gavsy1874]

Showing 5 seconds of each song doesn’t mean it is a rip off. The intro or outro of a song 😂

[@petermercury]

They missed the Mott the Hoople (All the Young Dudes - Stand By Me) and Gary Glitter (Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again - Hello) referrences.

There best songs were not ripped off. Loads of bands have done this. Great songs are not just about the music

[@adamhearne2825]

At 3:28 says throughout their catalog but then at 10:13 says he doesn’t know oasis well enough so how the fuck would you know the Beatles are copied throughout their catalog, oasis and the Beatles have very few similarities and sound a lot different.

[@apostatereacts]

I worked in a pub in which Oasis was so overplayed, I grew to hate their music. That both of them are such unpleasant people hasn't helped me warm to the band, over the years.

[@staffler9620]

I am a massive Oasis fan but will admit they have ripped off a lot of songs. However, they generally make them better. Great video

[@THEJAM-EATERS]

James Bay ripped off my old band called Suburban Dirts. He used to support us years ago. We had a song which is on KZbin called "All of This" he ripped it off to create "Hold Back the River". We were strongly advised not to sue. Would've cost us a fortune without a guaranteed win, his record company would've had the best lawyers and constantly postponed court dates to rinse you dry before you even get a chance to go to court. Its tactic they all use. But that's the music industry 🙁

[@timpalmer4436]

I love Oasis, check out a UK kids program from the 70s called You and Me.....

[@thadonis.]

Finally he admits it?? He's admitted to ripping up loads of songs. Way more than other artists- Beach Boys, Nirvana, Led Zepellin ripped off way more blatantly than Oasis did.

[@bernadetteshields3726]

Absolutely shocked by this 😱

[@stevenknight1198]

Most of them esp the beatles ones arent rip offs they are homages, marks of respect

[@Christisgod07]

And it’s not a rip off of there better than the original😂 a car isn’t a rip off of a horse

[@vallejomach6721]

Nobody owns the intellectual property rights to the horse though, unless the magical, invisible, imaginary, sky dad counts.

[@conormurphy4328]

@@vallejomach6721you’re fooling yourself if you think the songs Oasis ripped off were the original intellectual properly of the other musicians.

Nothing oasis ever did was better than the original 😂 derivitive, overrated nonsense.

I sat outside Eric's Mathew street and Liam and noel sat besides me on the steps for a smoke... And we got talking as you do and noel asked me why bands from Liverpool aren't ambitious any more.. I told him we're all being compared with the beatles and that we've moved on from that era. But the industry hadn't they wanted the next big thing... So because of the we didn't play ball they looked elsewhere.. But soon after bands like OMD echo and the bunny men.. Space.. The Las ( the lars) meaning the lads.. Frankie goes to Hollywood ect emerged.. You really need to visit Liverpool it will deliver to your senses what no other city can... T c matey

They never hide it. And if it was easy, everyone would've done it & succed. No, everybody else just do it quietly and still failed.

[@joeys1246]

They ripped off, but openly admitted it, but that's music in general. You can take pretty much any song that's ever been created, it was inspired & ripped off something else.
