Bonhead please become a full time member of Liam's band.

[@KeepCalmAndTravelOn]

I think I have good name for Liam's band - how about OASIS!

[@pamungkasadiltri4693]

@@KeepCalmAndTravelOn the rain look cool

[@ytplayback4621]

Bonehead definitely adds that special OASIS touch to the song.... you can literally hear that authentic raw rock n roll vibe... brings back so many good memories... definitely maybe mad fer it baby

[@fernandoherrerabastidas]

John Stanley Marsh it’s weird haha because he’s just playing straight chords and it seems easy but he literally adds that touch

Bonehead is like a Ferrari on those powerful barre chords. He is not just rhythm guitarist, he is a very important part of the Oasis sound.

[@MedalionDS9]

barre chords :)

Ok everybody. Bonehead is so powerful. He can do Power Chords and Barre Chords with one hand tied behind his back and with his eyes closed.

@Oasis Exclusives the other members of liams clearly never managed it tbf, this is the best his band has ever sounded live, which co-incidentally is a gig he did with Bonehead

[@owen5727]

Bonehead - One of the most underrated and important Rhythm guitarists ever. Does the job to perfection with those huge chords and that makes that classic Oasis sound as he proves every time he plays with LG

[@madferitnorth2244]

I even find Liams drummer to be a bit off, just doesn't sound right. I think the snare isn't on.

Bonehead DOES add something, the only thing missing is Noel's harmony on the chorus and this performance would kill

i would agree mate !!!

[@williamestlea5331]

Was thinking exactly the same thing, so much more powerful with him

[@sphinxcanuel]

Bro, it’s Bonehead 💯

[@DBFilms.]

Noticed he's recently gone back to in ear pieces, albeit in one ear. He's slagged them off quite a bit but they definitely help him stay in tune and sound closer to his studio singing. Kudos to whoever encouraged him back into using them lol

[@biblical1694]

Bonehead makes such a massive difference his guitar playing is so much louder and powerful and it really adds the Oasis sound more. It also helps that Liam’s voice has gotten 10 times better over the last 2 years it’s crazy. Only missing piece of the puzzle is now Noel.

[@Tommy-qx1iy]

A lot of people are saying Bonehead is the difference, as much as he is a legend the difference here is actually we have a professional recording, rather than a smartphone recording that generally makes everything sound a lot flatter. Also Liam using the in ear monitor helps his own performance.

[@justinajlc]

Bonehead was probably just strumming some chords like he always does, but somehow it elevates the sound if Liam's band from an Oasis cover band to proper Oasis. Magic

[@evilwomanofdoom]

Loving all the love for Bonehead i hope he hears about this.

[@damionduffy3625]

I was there the night allen mcgee watched them for the first time, they weren't even meant to play that night but fate had a plan. literally watching the start of rock n roll history unfold.

[@evanburke9784]

Buying his new album today was the best decision I've made in a while

[@fajargandhira139]

Also noticed that Liam uses ear monitor now, usually he only use stack of speaker monitor around him. That should make the voice a little bit more controlled.

[@Marooshaz]

Fajar Gandhira well spotted, but I cant hear any improvement in this video. The way he sang pre chorus was actually the worst I heard him since 2009.

[@forestfan3]

Marooshaz he doesn’t really try with this song / it’s as good as you’re gonna get it . He’s not gonna hit the notes

Bone head improves it...so let's add Tony back on the drums..he still plays daily and teaches drumming. You could get all that early stuff and I bet he is better than he was back in the day. I think the primal early oasis drums are the next thing to revisit. Bonehead and Tony made the first record sound raw.

That was always set Oasis apart from other bands was the volume of the guitars and that's why this sounds so good .

[@peacedragon333]

Liam on tip top form !!

[@nwest8274]

The band has improved a lot imo. Of course, the contribution of ol' Bonehead does help on that here, he's got the classic Oasis tunes in his DNA. Esp the drumming is more consistent these days. But they should definitely change the drums SOUND in the mix - it still has that ( modern fashion ) dry sound that's more Punk or Nu Rock. Doesn't fit the R'n'R of these song at all. Snare needs more reverb, more "depth', etc.

[@ChainNonSmoker]

U've got a point there m8

[@samquarmby2780]

Oasis were very punk sounding across their first album. It was Tony's sound.

[@surfinbird2mcdonald461]

your right mate the drums sound shite sack the sound man!!!!

Add Tony back in, he still plays drums every day I bet he would give it the rough boost to get them sounding even more original
