LIAM vs KEITH RICHARDS - The Story Behind The 'Street Fighting Man' Oasis B-Side

[@JamesHargreavesGuitar]

Ladies and gents, the lost documentary has been found! It is called 'Oasis Behind The Mirror,' produced by Nick Kent of Canal Plus. Thanks to Jf Maille and James Royle for the info, and a link to the long lost video! Some of the narration is in French (and Jagger is dubbed!) No idea if the website is 110% safe, so make sure your virus blocker is on etc - just common sense. I was able to watch it no problems, but just be sensible etc. Cheers! JH www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Hp4y1Y7dj/ EDIT - Also, in response to several comments, I know BHN was released in August 97. When I say 'In October' I am talking about when they got together to watch the documentary, not when the album was released.

[@SeanJepson7]

Great find..The magic of the internet.. btw you might find that Jagger's speaking in French ;)

[@Amcdermidhotmailcouk]

So that’s why it was never on in the UK. It’s in bloody French! Great find, thanks for sharing!

[@dodi1986]

[@dummytree]

@@SeanJepson7 Absolutely, Mick is not dubbed at all, he speaks French. Saying that you can't dance to Oasis, that it's more melodic that something you can dance to, that he has the new album and listened to it once and he "can't" (obviously didn't like it).

Maybe, but after calling Michael Hutchence a has-been it’s hard for me to feel sorry for them.

[@danrl9710]

They were SO cocky and intentionally controversial back then they probably relished in the drama of it all. And as you said James, Oasis had the last laugh. Nearly 30-yrs on and there’s millions of us who can hum, whistle and sing dozens of their songs. And Liam especially is gaining the young kids as fans now too!

[@petermills542]

@@danrl9710 'Oasis having the last laugh'? That IS funny! They are not even in the same stratosphere as The Beatles & The Stones! Liam Who?!

[@danrl9710]

@@petermills542 I didn’t say they were, but there would be an argument. What everyone on this thread needs to realize is that all of it is subjective. You could compare sales from an objective standpoint, but even that’s pointless given the difference in eras. The last laugh comment is based on how Oasis has endured nearly 3-decades and I predict them being similarly relevant in decades to come. The songs and swagger penetrated an entire generation and that’s all that matters. As for the Beatles, you’ll never hear me criticizing or downplaying that miracle. Nowhere near as interested in the Stones, but again, it’s all subjective...

[@goops1071]

I’d imagine Mick J would of been watching Oasis’ rise and the total mania in the U.K. for them. He probably felt reminded of early Rolling Stones 60’s Brian era where they had the same buzz & chaos around them breaking through. Probably felt a little jealous reminiscing of that feeling of everything being new & exciting. Knowing that the first 2 Oasis albums were flawless & everyone calling them the new Beatles it was time to bring them down a peg with a fair comment on album #3...it’s true, you can’t dance to it. And as others have said on here already Keith doesn’t like any music post ‘69

Suddenly the lyrics to the fame make sense. That song will always be one of my favourites. I know people don’t like be here now and say it’s the worst album but I love it. It’s the best album. Yeah it’s noisy it’s long and every time Liam stops singing there is a guitar solo but to me it’s my favourite. No it hasn’t got the best songs on it but the sound of the album is what I love. Noel remastered D’ya know what I mean for the anniversary cd and to me I sounded ok but he sucked the life out of it. I think it’s time this album and b sides get the credit they deserve

[@chemicalimpossibility9822]

Bit late getting to you on this, but the documentary was made by Nick Kent for Canal +.

[@DeElSendero]

First off as a long time stones fan they do a fantastic cover of the tune. I think you hit it when you suggested the 4 who were critical are seeing themselves being replaced at the top and are finding it hard to deal with it. Objectively tho they have not done much since the '80's really. Ego prevented them from seeing that Oasis was "standing on the shoulders of giants" something the band readily acknowledged. Actually Oasis continues their legacy something they should be grateful for. But when you been at the top for so long I guess that just ain't gonna happen, But in a certain way the song rings true. In a metaphorical sense Jagger sang he would "kill the king" and now (or then) Liam sings it. So yes Jagger/Richard (et al) you see the king is dead. Probably best to get used to that fact. Interesting story by the way James. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@Rat-Salad]

Where are they now?

[@garybalranald6323]

It could be much simpler - those 4 guys didn't rate Oasis because they're not that good. One of them, I think George, said, "they lack depth". I think that is spot on. I don't mind Oasis, but as a Stones fan, you should know they are lacking. I don't think any of those 4 guys were worried about being usurped.

I’ll be honest, I personally don’t like the cover oasis did. I just feel the song is a lot more raw on the original and the production is just too loud and it doesn’t sound good to me. I’ve heard people say it’s more rock and roll but the stones version is in another league because of the distorted acoustic guitars, jaggers vocals being better and more powerful and the sitar textures at the end make it more rock and roll to me. My generations an alright cover though even if daltreys vocals are a lot stronger, liam does do a great job with it.

[@Viajealduende]

I’ve got a question for you. How did Oasis get away with not being sued for Lyla? A very good but blatant rip off of Street Fighting Man. Noel must’ve done something very clever taking riding the right up to the edge of the law with that song as he does very well. He gets right up to the line of paying homage and plagiarism. Or maybe Mick and Keith couldn’t be bothered. It would have been Allen Klein of Decca that would have gone after them like with the Verve’s Bitter Sweet Symphony.

This is so hilarious. Imagine getting shat on by all of your heroes! That must not be a great feeling at all. 😂

Why make a fuss over the opinions of others ? Being on top of the pops wasn’t enough ? Cry babies.

Well kieth Richards gets called to be one of the greatest guitar player in the world and he’s pissed at a small independent band like oasis what a bully

[@Jamalama555]

@@rizvanxd8724 a bully ? He was asked about oasis and gave his honest opinion .. he wasn’t knocking on liams door and calling him names .. “bullying” lol sound like a politically correct liberal from my state lol

dwarfs against 4 giants,oasis classic? just a bubble,after the splash nothing,barely wonderwall and wanna live forever,the rest are gone with the wind,their fans find them better,personally they don;t move me,ok they had commersial success for a while,a passing mode,time is the test for everyone,the 4 won it years ago no matter what Gallagher brothers or their fans will say,the talent and the musical legacy of the 4 is all the water of our planet against water in an espresso cup

[@SwampEye1]

Well of course the Beatles and the Stones are better and the Kinks and the Who, Cat Stevens, Pink Floyd, LED Zeppelin, David Bowie, U2,they are all better than fockin ' Oasis, ... but in '95 that's the best there was in GB and they are the last Good Band from GB
