NOEL GALLAGHER = G.O.A.T.?!?! Americans React to "Oasis - Champagne Supernova" Live at Budokan 1998

[@Charlie-oz8xl]

Noel is such an underrated guitarist he’s up there with the best and this gig proves it

[@jakedavies6747]

I wouldn't say he is underrated at all. Think most people know he is one of the greatest guitarist

[@andrewsmith3981]

As a guitarist his guitar work is pretty simple he is however a genius songwriter.

[@dene39]

No, just no. Hes a very good guitarist. An amazing songwriter. But he is no where near the greats. From a massive Oasis fan.

[@Johnniebhoy83]

@@dene39 He IS among the greats - if not better. Just cis he's not a metal-head soloist doesn't make him any less... In fact, probs make him better!

[@stevey306]

@@dene39 totally agree he knows five chords he admits he's not great he's made five chords sound cool but far from underrated. Again from a massive oasis fan.

[@HisDudeness316]

You lads are going to love Headshrinker. Pure punk rock.

[@ianandjohnandmaniandreni9323]

For me, this the best live performance of this song due to the fast-paced ending. It wasn't normally played like this.

[@OperationBlueprint]

Guys, this made me so happy to watch. When I saw Liam sit down I knew exactly what was around the corner. Was in bits when Spencer collapsed at the climax haha. Go on Noel. What a song writer.

[@richyoz2630]

Its never a bad day if you listen to Champagne Supernova

[@andrewruddiforth5823]

Goosebumps

[@callum5915]

Every Oasis fan will agree that all their material in the 90's sounded better live!

[@SareyRockyMacDonald-uo3nq]

I love their first few albums and have been a purist for years... but as I listen, I'm more appreciative!

[@seanoriordan]

Great reaction guys. Try Gas Panic Rock in Rio live 2001. Best live version and nice neat solo from Noel in there. That was the gig headlined by Guns N Roses, Oasis were on just before. Classic gig

[@masonmennell8514]

Swamp song and aquiesce Maine road 1996 1st or 2nd night both are amazing

[@callum5915]

This was right at the end of the tour so if you think Liam sounds a bit croaky or whatever that is the reason! Noel's guitar work is incredible!

[@az4455]

Oasis always were a live band first and foremost. Great to see you enjoying this performance.

[@EEmB]

I still remember waiting for this album, my mom driving me to the record shop on the release day, buying the CD, running into my room and just following along in the lyrics and the feeling and excitement of how much I LOVED LOVED LOVED this.

[@callumcruickshank5236]

13:50 that solo just sends me into the stratosphere of pure rock and roll. The riff and presence on stage are unreal!

[@jasonq111]

Spot on, John. I was born in 70’ so grew up w great bands from the 60’s-90’s but Oasis is my fav. It’s the way their songs make me feel. They energize and inspire me. I just love Noel’s writing and he’s pretty great on that outro w that guitar.

[@john_air]

@@jasonq111 excatly noel somehow suceeded in injecting cocaine in to his songs it's like listening cocaine LOL

[@jasonq111]

@@john_air he said he wrote those first two albums high. On Be Here Now he freaked a little cuz the process changed. He was having to scramble. I think he wrote, BHN, on vacay in Mustique w Jagger and Kate Moss. I think he had rough cuts and added finishing touches.

Cheers for following my suggestion! Nice one! You should step to a 10years later version of Champagne Supernova live at black island studios 2008 (the gig was called standing on the edge of the noise). Anyway, it's great to see people discovering oasis for real! You're in for a real treat with the Budokan version! Best live version of the best song ever I guess...! Mad fer it !!

[@cathyrider142]

That's why they called them the Sex Beatles!

[@mattymorris1325]

Love is the law. The seahorses. Blows minds

[@nikosrm7697]

I totally agree with you. Oasis's sound was better in the live versions of the songs. As another person mentioned in the comments, Fade in out (maybe in Gmex 97 or from New York Hammerstein Ballroom show from the same era) is a good option for reaction. I would also suggest the live version of "Born on a different cloud" in Japan 2002. It's in the same album as Stop crying your heart out. The song is really underrated and the solo in the 2002 video is awesome with the guitar almost "crying" . Alan White, the drummer, should be mentioned, as well. He is very talented and his role in the sound of Oasis in the era 1997-2002 is significant. Your comments are great.

[@neilmiddleton2146]

And he's playing an epiphone (not a gibson). So good. He always talks his own guitar playing down. He's awesome.

[@diveplane05]

Thank you for this! Noel Gallagher is a much underrated Singer/Song Writer/Guitarist

[@johnpbh]

The Budokan... The stage where Oasis' hero's The Beatles played a rock concert for the first time 32 years earlier in 1966. Fun Beatle fact... At the time, the Budokan was considered a sacred site to some traditionalists. So much so that The Beatles received death threats. MY how times have changed. Loving the channel by the way.

[@ajcurran100]

Amazing solo

[@Sabian-]

This version does not even come close to Champagne Supernova at Earls Court 1995, their best performance of that song. Also Supersonic from Earls Court 1995, they will blow you away.

[@masonmennell8514]

Supersonic, champagne supernova, I am the walrus. All from earls court 95 is fucking biblical

[@seanoriordan]

I disagree, I was brought up on there and then Champagne Supernova at earls Court. But I came across this version 5 years ago and seen Noel at his best. To be fair the cocaine injuced Be Here Now tour had a lot to do with it 😂

[@masonmennell8514]

@@seanoriordan noel and the guitars here are the best I've heard but Liam's voice is better in 95

[@seanoriordan]

@@masonmennell8514 I agree, it's a hard trade 😂 but to be fair Liams voice ain't that bad at Budokan either. I just prefer the overall sound at this gig, whole band on form and the extended solo makes it better for me.

[@rileyindieman1]

Jumping on this, everything on Champagne Supernova sounds better at Earls Court.

[@ianandjohnandmaniandreni9323]

For Noel going off, try Swamp Song from Maine Rd. It's miles better than the Earl's Court version. It's the start of the gig, an instrumental song, Liam swaggers on halfway through to "last-minute winner" type of cheers, then, after he says something to the crowd, the song literally detonates. It's bonkers. And to this day no-one knows what Liam said, not even him, lol.

You really really really need to check out the verve. And when you watch them live... you’ll understand why they toured with oasis! Fantastic British rock and roll from the ‘90s!

[@mrsifter4461]

Fun fact: The album version of this song on Whats the story morning glory - The guitar solo was done by Paul Weller. Noel said in an interview he knows he isn't the greatest guitarist, so he got Weller in to make it better.

[@Floyd_18]

There’s actually two separate solos which play over each other, one’s Weller’s and the other is Noel’s. Such a great solo all together!

[@themaestro7600]
