Quite inspiring as a musician hearing this, makes you realise we all start somewhere, gotta keep at it to get good.

[@shune84]

before noel joined oasis you mean, they were a band before noel.

[@careerstreet]

Yes thats correct…i work with Chris Hutton he wrote a book called growing up with Oasis

[@mvickers03]

He hadn't developed a style at all by then tho, Noel sang Don't Look Back In Anger so enough said really.

[@lolamagenta]

NO singer is that good when they first start. Most songwriters sing their demos doesn't mean they are good but as time went by Noel's voice did and has gotten much better. He can hold his own with many now.

[@lolamagenta]

He really nailed it when he sang Don't Look back in Anger! His back up vocals became stronger and he had to step up to the front man when Liam had his tantrums and refused to sing. Noel always ALWAYS put the band first even if it came at a high cost.

[@DisturbedRetards]

I love this! You can hear The Smiths, The Stone Roses and Neil Young in his style!

Its a privilege to hear his early work.

[@ihvha29]

Yeah, for him.

[@ferabra8939]

He's always been a clever dude, Noel. Instead of getting lost trying to "produce" his demos as we all tried to do with cassette 4-tracks (a total and utter impossibility, since it's a toy you're recording with), he kept it simple. Vocal, bass, and a couple of guitars , and sometimes an "organ" pad (probably a cheap keyboard). But still managed to get his musical ideas across. You can tell he's working on his songwriting and performing skills, and creating basic guitar arrangements, instead of trying to get great sounds with a toy.

[@michaelharrington75]

Lol. I always got frustrated with 4 track machines back in the day. When attempting to get a quality sound always finding you need some other gadget to go along with the 4 track. This process is repeated over and over until realizing the 4 track machine itself isn't good enough. I bought mixing consoles, EQ's, compressors, limiters, effects racks, mics, and all sorts of things to not much effect. Would have been best to spend that money going to a studio!

[@RunOfTheHind]

Obviously never used an Akai MG614 or Tascam 234 then! Nowt toy-like about them.

[@honved1]

According to Tony McCarroll's book, they also received guidance from the Liverpool band and producers, The Real People.

[@relevantbrother8964]

It's amazing how clearly one can distinguish between the guitar parts ..sounds really good .the rhythm playing is so cool.

[@AJREMINGTON85]

it’s just so odd. as he says he never intended in being in a band nor being a front man. yet having these songs and singing them in ‘89. I don’t think he ever really copped for being what he is now it just happened, he had that love for music purely.

[@sempereadem1543]

he tried to be in a band a couple of times but it never worked out he even auditioned as the singer for the inspiral carpets but he was not good then and he gave up on the idea until Liam started his band and asked him to join

[@cherylspandley8270]

Ya know if you really wanna do something when ya get out of ya school years, i believe the inkling is secretly already there. Sometimes as a kid people just laugh at ya; so you keep things to ya self, until you know start to be a bit good and might at some point be able to follow through, even very late in life, sometimes an opportunity shows its face to you. I have being doing a bit of song writing myself, did dable when in english lessons at school, teacher said my poems, would make good songs, always kept that at back of my mind. No where as good as Noel, but know I can put a song together. Glad Noel Followed through.love his music lyrics and melodys.

[@theselector4733]

Don't believe that for one second. I reckon he ALWAYS wanted to be a Rock Star from the moment he picked up the guitar and started writing songs. His actions speak louder than words. Noel is very good at 'playing the game' both personal AND with the press.

[@joeydufresne6063]
