Dave's Reaction: Oasis Some Might Say VS Grant Lee Buffalo Fuzzy

[@TheExcelsiorFiles]

Grant Lee Phillips was voted Rolling Stone magazine's Voice of the Year 1995. He was friends with Michael Stipe and toured with REM. He was the town troubadour in the American series "Gilmore Girls." Grant Lee Buffalo (the band) were instrumental in the creation of the soundtrack of the trippy movie "Velvet Goldmine." Grant's talent is far in excess of Noel Gallagher's...and I say that as a fan of Noel! But yeah, Grant is something else entirely. He and the band were "of a time and place." It's nigh on impossible to hear them now and feel for them what people did when they were more prominent. Their music reflected the feeling of "the time" and the economic and political currents that were flowing.

[@peterfitton4529]

Their albums still more than stand up today. Which is why they signed a deal with Chrysallis records a few years ago, for a "DeLuxe" reissue program of their albums.

[@TheExcelsiorFiles]

@peterfitton4529 I agree! I still go along to see Grant perform when he visits London.

[@Abdulrahman-gs1wsx]

If you two love that Knebworth CD so much, you’ll love the documentary on the original Knebworth gig from 1996. 🤘🤘🤘

[@alistairmacdonald2634]

Liam didn't show up for the music video shoot for Some Might Say so the director ended up mashing up earlier videos for the song. lol

[@davesmith8620]

Its actually the only song on the 2nd album that tony drummed on also it's there 1st number 1

[@ESlasher2007_Ethio]

By the way, the some might say video is just footage of other music videos from the songs: Cigarettes and Alcohol, I think the American Supersonic music video, and also some small Whatever clips

[@Jimbob_sc]

The production on some might say has bugged me for years and your the only person I've seen talk about it. Too compressed for sure, but get this it was reproduced for that game guitar hero? I think it's called and for some reason it gets the production so much better then the original. There's a guitar riff that goes through the song that you can't really here in the original as well and the guitar hero version brings it up in the mix it's a very melodic and beautiful riff that I miss when listening to the original. You should check it out. But good reaction again guys ❤

[@peterfitton4529]

Grant Lee Buffalo's 4 albums were a masterclass in modern melodic rock songwriting, full of great songs, inventive arrangements, and intellectual depth. And for a 3 piece they could make a huge f*cking sound when they wanted to, especially live, which is something they were justafiably celebrated for. I'd take GLB over Oasis's gormless and plodding pub rock any day of the week. In 2011, twelve years after they originally disbanded, they were easily able to fill the Royal Festival Hall in London as part of a sold out reunion world tour. And all their albums were the subject to a "DeLuxe reissue program" by Chrysallis records just a few years ago. Not that "forgotten", Noel.

[@DH-TV]

I'd never have gotten onto it but there's definitely a little hint of the melody

[@juanpalecuna2152]

Nice Video 🔥🎸 we will find a brighter day!

[@stevenknight1198]

I heard that interview that Noel did but had never heard the sond, thanks for reviewing it. I thought it was a good song.

[@juanantz]

If you do something like this with Oasis 'Don't Go Away' and The Real People 'Feel The Pain" Dave will fall from the chair. 🤣

[@jonathanward7320]

This is the most heinous one of the lot in my opinion. Noel says he’s open to nicking things of other songs, but when he literally took the entire chorus off feel the pain and never once gave credit to the Real People, I thought that was a bit sh*tty of Noel. I do believe if you look on Wikipedia now it’ll say the songwriter is solely Noel, when really it should have a co-write credit for Chris Griffiths.

[@Nolimitss6]

​@@jonathanward73208 words of lyrics only. The Real People song sounds like something I'd write and think it sounds shit.

[@jonathanward7320]

@@Nolimitss6 8 words of lyrics that formed the chorus of the song on one of the biggest selling albums of the 90’s, and absolutely no credit was given. Whatever you think of the real peoples song is frankly irrelevant. The fact of the matter is, he lifted the chorus and made it off as his own. He may have made it better but that’s not the point, you can’t take someone’s work and plagiarise it. It’s not the same as being inspired by a song and writing something similar or taking a chord progression and tweaking it, those words weren’t written by Noel, Chris Griffiths deserves at least a writing credit on the song.

[@LambriniSupernova]

Try Dont Go Away by Oasis vs Feel The Pain by The Real People

[@alistairmacdonald2634]

Dave hasn't heard Noel on drums yet. He plays on the last song "Soldier On" off their final album. Nothing spectacular from him but he keeps a good beat.😁

[@AB-sy5hb]

Oasis fan but I prefer Fuzzy over Some might say

[@derek_1992]

can the next one be Oasis cover of Carnation?

[@michaeljohn1978]

That was just Liam with Steve Craddock from Ocean Colour Scene

[@estebancomulet]

And Noel/Paul Waller

[@rambo-ro6lz]

ya Noel has said Tony wasn't able to play the new songs and when they brought in Alan white everything just clicked.

[@LiNoeliam93]

Dave is very funny - it's deffo trans-atlantic humour! But Shecky, you are just as funny, very dry and witty! Perfect combo - Love you guys! ❤

[@marcelguy3955]

Grant Lee Phillips has more talent in his little finger than Noel Gallagher has in his entire body

[@derek_1992]

Liam singing this on Mtv unplugged is worth checking out

[@daveshaw7953]

This version of Some Might Say is the last recorded song with Tony McCarrol. It’s the only song in Morning Glory with Tony. Alan White plays it in all the live versions including Knebworth’96. It is better live Dave 👍🏼

[@daveshaw7953]

That interview with Noel is from the 25th anniversary of Morning Glory where he revisited Rockfield studio, the place they recorded the album. Also the place Queen recorded Bohemian Rhapsody for all you trivia buffs 😂

[@DH-TV]

I believe Alan re-recorded the drums on the album version so Tony mc didn't play on wtsmg

[@daveshaw7953]

@@DH-TV no he didn’t, the album version is the same as the single. Alan White’s first job was mining along to Some Might Say on Top Of The Pops

[@DH-TV]

@@daveshaw7953 fair play, I've obviously miss read

[@haroldmarraud7873]

spot on Dave : far way too compressed... Oasis are genius in writing songs but their weakness is the compression in the production of all their albums.......

[@LiNoeliam93]

Haha... Shecky - proper laughed at the description - "The Oasis Universe"! 😂

[@oasis4185]

Really is my favourite song of oasis

[@oasiscentral_]

I agree on Dave’s comments on the album version. This song is poorly mixed and compressed unfortunately, it’s one of their best live however!

[@dickyMuhammad23]

YES!!!!!!

[@Deewok]

Some might say they don't believe in heaven Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell. Superb lyrics. Oasis are the only band I cannot name a bad song including b sides.Thats how imo Best band .They get it,they get us fans.Maine Road was the best day of my life. Keep up the great content love it❤

[@lukebaker4154]

I've never heard of grant Lee buffalo before.... but I quite liked it 😄

[@LiNoeliam93]

Sweet... ✌️😎

[@adamhearne2825]

Would probably agree with Dave and I’m sure Noel would aswell as he has said many times he hates the sound and production of morning glory.

[@FabrizioSirianni]

React Some Might Say Oasis MTV unplugged whit Noel

[@Gavsy1874]

I think Some Might Say is outstanding. Live is amazing too though.

[@comickaraoke]

Never heard this one. the Oasis tune was really good/cool. Great vocals! I remember Dave saying he was curious how it sounded when Steve Morse was with Deep Purple, well here's a live cut with Steve Morse for him to check featuring some really excellent Morse guitar soloing andnd my favorite cut off the the "Purpendicular" album. I think he'll dig it. It's the tune, "Sometimes I feel Like I'm Screaming" kzbin.info/www/bejne/amq7c6CCidyKqbM

[@estebancomulet]

You’re not a fan but if you like some might say you must like it. It’s identical, just mellower and more downbeat.

[@Onlinepropertyexplorer]

fuzzy song was decent imo

[@eddysandland58]

A lot of the songs on Morning Glory are sped up! So maybe that's what's throwing you off?

[@Gavsy1874]

I assume you mean sped up live?

[@eddysandland58]

@@Gavsy1874 Live it's Always faster ie Wonderwall Maine Rd! Which I think is Better & Most of the others too! But Owen Morris & Noel did turn the tempo/Sped up the Tunes on WTSMG? Try playing along to Some Might Say & then you'll hear it!

[@emucat1]

Oasis missed the boat on Madchester scene and always wanted to be The Stone Roses but without all that creativity getting in the way. I'm not sure they've ever written anything without stealing a lick or change or harmony. It really was a running joke in the 90's. poundshop beatles or GLB , fiiiiight !!!

[@crinbob]

Do this with Oasis Hindu Times and Stereophonics Same Size Feet

[@Me-gs3uu]

Actually the Hindu Times guitar riff was before the Stereophonic tune. It’s on KZbin from 1996 in San Francisco

[@crinbob]

@@Me-gs3uu just checked it out. Never knew that. Just Noel noodling about with 2 seconds of the HT riff. I wonder if Kelly Jones heard that.

[@Me-gs3uu]

@@crinbobya I’m guessing that’s how it happened

[@Me-gs3uu]

My comment won’t post for some reason

[@samechick]

I don't see anything from you in the "Held for Review" tab!

[@LiNoeliam93]

The music audio is a wee bit on the quiet side..

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

the 2nd band whats up with them? you got a record deal and you release a song thats so miserable? il never understand that. its just annoying after 2mins of it. The only similarity is D Bm . Thats how I see it, just blows my head when i hear these artists, grasp your youth and fortune and then put a song out just wailing! Nuts Some Might Say is inspirational. Makes you want to buy a guitar and get a band.

[@iwanmorris293]

Two good songs just for different moods. You can say why put out a song that miserable, it doesn’t sound miserable at all to me, sounds melancholy maybe, but I think it’s extremely gorgeous, and it makes me feel something. Don’t know anything else by Grant Lee Buffalo and I’m a big Oasis fan. Do you find Let’s All Make Believe miserable? Or Stop Crying Your Heart Out? A band isn’t obliged to just make upbeat music, there’s a time and place for all types of songs

[@Gavsy1874]

That original song is shite
