Mccarols drumming is badass! He gave Oasis a really raw, punk sound.

[@deluxeasstandard1969]

You got that to! Mccarols powerhouse backbone I’ve seen it in kasabian’s drummer although they kept him - once mccarol left it was the end - he held the venom of the beat pure and simple 💯

[@buddhull]

@@deluxeasstandard1969 I agree with you both. The simple, heavy handed drumming drove the material to a looser, more manic sound which helped enforce the edge they had from 91-95. It’s probably true he couldn’t do some of the WTSMG tracks, but they’re the non-preferable tracks to me, anyway.

[@miskay5526]

One of their best songs!! Definitely in my top 10. Awesome performance. Also, Liam was a BABEEEE!!!

[@gusterguy01826]

This song is great. Half the b-sides from the first two albums were just as good as the album tracks. Imagine if they hadn't wasted the songs on b-sides, and the third album was 1.)Aquiesce 2.)It's Good to Be Free 3.)D'you Know What I Mean? (Edited down a bit) 4.)Talk Tonight 5.)Rockin' Chair 6.)Don't Go Away 7.)Fade Away 8.)Half the World Away 9.)Stand By Me 10.)Underneath the Sky 11.)Headshrinker 12.)All Around the World (Edited down) 13.)The Masterplan I'd have bought that album!

[@dbo514]

[@xyzxyz997]

Tony McCarrol is just water tight on those drums. What a great drumming sound. I wish Noel had gave him a chance to record Morning Glory. That was a horrible episode in Oasis history the way this guy was treated. God bless you Tony mate

[@tomben6180]

Noel was brutal but even Tony himself said Liam and Bonehead were sound with him… and Bonehead and Liam said he just couldn’t get it, they were in the studio for hours, vocals, lead guitar, rhythm and bass guitars done ages ago, waiting for Tony to get the drums and it was costing them. Noel is quite emotionless at times and pulled the plug. It’s harsh as fuck but they needed to do it to reach the next stage.

[@shakinghell1318]

Man, I’m 50 now but I loved this fully back in the day. Feels like last week. Amazing ❤

[@thebarnold7596]

Tony’s drumming makes it so much more energetic, I dig it!

[@TheMusicalElitist]

You're deluded.

[@timenderby6694]

Yep, just a pity Tony was appallingly unable to maintain time over and over. If you listen carefully, to each of his performances,they are almost always different, not only in terms of time, but intensity of the beat. For a producer, a living ‘mare when trying to lay down tracks with inconsistent drumming. Hence why he had to be cut. I’m not saying he cannot play drums. He’s proven that enough in their early tracks, but one of the main somewhat underlying roles of the drummer is to maintain tine, over and again. When it varies, even by a half second, or hits the high hat instead of snare, it throws all the other musicians accompanying him. Stevie White smoked it, no question. Sticks in hands, he’s ready, and he was off! Great memories for sure. 😎🤩👌🏽

McCarroll Definitely Maybe the best drummer, for that Oasis particular sound

[@thewisdomofleonardshoestri3043]

After Alan White came in it went a bit like The Fast Show "mmm jazz...nice". Tony was at the back like a fookin engine, keeping the machine running.

[@siebjansen123]

He just doesnt drum on the rhythm. Still I like that he plays aggressively.

[@nikburnham6758]

Totally agree, once McCarroll was forced out it was the beginning of the end same as sex pistols getting rid of glen Matlock - the magic was lost - I really rate McCarroll, shame how it all ended up
