Good video. Tbh, as a big fan of Oasis and an even bigger Beatles fan, it's always annoyed me the somewhat lazy way in which people tend to label the former as rip-offs of the latter, when the vast majority of their sound, chord sequences, arrangements and melodies are nothing like The Beatles. It's just, as you say, they wear their influences very much on their sleeves. And it's usually just a riff here or outro there, a pretty obvious homage, rather than an entire song they're copying. Their most blatant rip was probably for Cigarettes & Alcohol, where the intro is literally the riff to Get It On by T-Rex, but after this riff is finished the rest of the song is completely different. And it's not like they don't expect people to notice this stuff; it's deliberate. In my opinion the Beatles influence is pretty superficial; lots of lyrical references and the odd hook or arrangement. Their more pertinent influences are bands like The Stone Roses or a lot of the shoegazer bands, as their first two albums are awash with distorted guitars and that "wall of sound" sort of production. There's also a heavy blues influence, which can also remind you of The Beatles, because of those distinct dominant 7 chords. Pretty much every Brit Pop band was heavily influenced by 60s British Invasion music, it's just some of them were maybe a bit smarter about it than the Gallaghers, who really just wanted to make good rock 'n roll music.

[@hazzer30]

I agree - with regards to the shoegaze point oasis on the first 3 albums always attempted to create a wall of sound in a way not too dissimilar to slowdive on when the sun hits for example.

If somebody is going to listen to Oasis for the first time thinking he´ll listen to a "new version of The Beatles" he´ll get a big surprise when he listens to Definitely Maybe. I don´t understand why a lot of people put Oasis in an underrated place because they think "they copied or stole from The Beatles" when that´s not true.

One thing I missed in your explanation was the use of cadences. For example, for lack of a better term, I call it “sharpening the dominant chord”. For example, if a song is in C Major, a normal cadence would be F>G>C, but Beatles would sometimes go F>G#>C. Another example exists, which I’ll call “Majoring the Dominant-Parallel”. If the song is in C Major, the dominant parallel would be E Minor, but the Beatles would play it as E major. Eg C>E>F>G>C (all major). These cadences can be heart often in oasis music also.

This just made me realize how brilliant the Beatles actually were.

Amazing video, only thing I’ll point out is the short clips pointing out the use of orchestral arrangements around the 4:40 mark, the tag for the oasis song says it is “The Masterplan” but the track playing at that point is a b side from Definitely Maybe entitled “Whatever” which ironically enough they used to sing the lyrics of Octopus Garden over the outro of “Whatever” when playing it live. Great content, love all you do

[@AndyFunke]

I watched recently this documentary about the L.A. Laurel Canyon rock scene in the 60's. In it, Beach Boy's Brian Wilson talks about the album Pet Sounds which is famous for influencing Paul McCartney (and The Beatles) to do Penny Lane and to a lesser extent Sgt. Pepper, as I understand it. However, Brian Wilson said in that film that he was influenced by The Beatles's Rubber Soul (or was it Revolver?) to do Pet sounds! It goes around and around. I wouldn't doubt for a second that Paul McCartney was influenced by Oasis on his more recent works.

Noel's song writing philosophy must be "start with a 5 second section of a Beatles song and then the rest falls into place."

[@ImrikGimle]

Hi. A wonderful video. Would it be possible for you to perhaps make a follow-up to this which looks in more detail at more of the melodies and chord-progressions that could be argued is inspired by the Beatles?

[@marybolger4291]

Liam puts on a casually voice like John, noel wears granny glasses, they have the Beatles hair cuts, and yeah the song influences as well

[@FloydtheBarber8384]

To me, the most obvious influences of Oasis are: Stone Roses Beatles SLADE Sex Pistols Neil Young La's Stones T-Rex And then you can see things of great musicians here and there, from electronica, from soul music, from punk, folk or whatever they were listening in that moment but the core of their music is inspired, in my opinion, by these musicians and made in their very own way. The influence of the Beatles is huge but it's not the only one, I guess the image, the whole references in lyrics, the fact that they mentioned them all the time and a handful of songs very beatleesque (Up in the sky, whatever, don't look back in anger, roll with it...) did the rest to oversize the debts.

[@Avantimusicprojects]

You forgot The Kinks, they rip off a lot from them.

[@GarethE94]

Prior to liam renaming them, Oasis were called The Rain in reference to Rain by the Beatles. If you haven’t heard it check it out. Noel’s guitar style is clearly massively influenced by Harrison’s work on this track.

[@louispks]

I've only just discovered your channel and I have to say it's brilliant. I've been listening to both bands for the last 25 years I've noticed little similarities between them. But now I'll listen to them differently from now on. Keep up the good work.

[@BibleStorm]

6:20 I disagree with this statement in direct reference to this exact example of Oasis and the Beatles. If your song has the same chords, melody and rhythm as a band you have learned to emulate it's pretty likely that either you knew you were stealing and didn't stop yourself, or you planned to steal from the beginning.

[@MetallicA29]

[@renauddup3333]

Another reference is that the guitar solo in “Roll it over” is similar and definitely inspired by “Come together”

[@Andres33AU]

Great video, and something I've noticed looking back was how the 90s kinda brought back that classic sound, as opposed to the more "electronic" sound and reverb snares of the 80s. Also not a bad band to be influenced by at all!

Who Feels Love has a guitar part which is similar to Lucy In The Sky’s intro. Furthermore, the vocals reminisce to Rain’s inverted coda. Thank you very much for your videos, I am learning a lot with them

It would be great if you did a video where you analysed the chords and melody notes Noel is hitting over them to create the sound they do.

[@malofaure6474]

Really great video ! I would like to see you do a video about some tricky, inventive chords progressions. I think Arctic Monkeys are really great at that (especially the last album where they get some jazzy vibes, for example : Golden Trunks, She Looks Like Fun, Anyways the b-side. Their older stuff as well where they get easier chords progressions but it's still inventive and surprising for example : Only Ones Who Know, No1 Party Anthem...) It'll be very interesting I think. Anyways, thank you for your videos it's always nice.

[@lukenardoni2454]

I'm always amazed at the lack of serious critical analysis of Arctic Monkeys music. They're immensely talented musicians. Alex Turners lyrics too just blow my mind. I know they're really famous and everything but I still feel they are kind of weirdly underrated.

They have a few nods to the Beatles but don't sound like them. Listen to I am the Walrus, original sounds like the Beatles and the Oasis cover sounds like Oasis. Their earlier sound was more like another Liverpool band called The Real People.
