Oasis and J200

Hate to be technical in the middle of an emotional moment – and this was a beatiful clip – but isn't it a J-150.

 

I always thought it was a J-150, has all the features of an early 2000's J-150, no neck or headstock binding, Tulips, single inlay on the bridge ..

EA - do all J-150's come with small Adidas-stickers on the top ?

 

Just saw the film again on 360 and it gave me the chills. Such a joy to see Noel get into the song for real and bring out those nuances in vox and guitar.

He's damn good there, , , the whole performance is damn good - best I've seen from their camp.

 

What ? , , , Oasis (and the audience) gave me the chills !!! - surprise of the day. Thanx for sharing. . .

That was an awesome performance....love the tune!

But I could not hear what the name of the tune was....anyone help me please?

I wanna learn this one!

 

Don't look back in anger. It's in the video title.

 

It may be their most famous song. It was a huge hit in several countries right at the peak of their fame.

The link wont open for me but when the adidas sticker was mentioned I remembered one of the guys I go to for tutorials and covers plays what looks like a J200 with the adidas sticker but it's a Ephiphone not Gibson.

From what I`ve read, this J-150 was Noel`s favoured super Jumbo (he also has a J-200), that was until Liam smashed it up, during one of their many rows shortly before Oasis folded.

 

Steve.

 

It's not the Adidas guitar that got smashed, but one of his 355's, the acoustic that was smashed was a Gibson that belonged to Liam (gifted by his wife), there were two guitars smashed in that episode. They should sort it out so they can get back to making thoroughly irrelevant music together. The fight has been long running since Liam suggested Noel's daughter Anais was not his natural blood child and that his Mrs had been knocking about... well documented stuff. Likea pair of wee girls though.

 

Noels high flying birds are a bit boring and Liam's Beady Eye are just pretty grim. Hi voice is totally broken, he should stick to selling tshirts and desert boots.

Like to stir things a bit, don't you PM?

 

I got no dog in this fight, so I'll just sit back and watch the fur fly....... [biggrin]

 

Frankly, most pop music of the 1990's-2000's bores the heck out of me. But that's just me. I'm still stuck in the 60's and early 70's, re-living my mis-spent youth.....

Not really, Nick, I think that's a valid assessment of Oasis, they landed like the sex pistols doing Beatles covers, had two good albums, took way too much coke, started having people like Johnny Depp on their records, hob-nobbing with the gliteratti, even visited downing street championing New Labour or 'same old conservatives' as it turned out, then when they sobered up and realised music had moved on and there last 3 records were gash, they made a sort of listenable one in a desperate attempt to sound like their first record then fell out like 2 old ladies in a post office queue.

 

Do you think the average 16 year old thinks Liam Gallagher is still cool? He's nearly 40, lost his voice and his band have nothing but a bunch of dodgy songs... Noel's high flying birds gigs are 50% of him covering his old material in 'ballad years' style with a drummer dressed like he's out of the clockwork orange. All very staged, all very done before and entirely irrelevant.

 

For a few fleeting moments in the 90's they were chaotic and brilliant, for the other 13 years they were an aging shambles who'd long passed their sell by date and only championed by fat beer bellied guys in pubs a couple of pints too far down the road and who know nothing about what was new in music. So, singalong stuff for blokes with no taste...

 

Don't take my word for it, go armed to a open mic or a gig with a bunch of oasis songs and watch your audiences faces, they'll be suicidal...

 

Their main value these days is in small witty soundbytes here and there, LG is quite a funny fella for an uneducated sort. All spiteful and stuff... hilarious, and Noel, well he's starting to look a bit lesbian, rather quaffed hair and cardigans... oh dear.

They had Johnny Depp play on their albums ?

 

I pretty much agree with PM. The first two albums are classic, both crackers but not much grabbed me since then. I think Noel is ageing a bit better than his idiot younger brother.

 

However, I must say its so much fun playing Oasis covers and the reaction they get is astounding. Mind you, its not hard to learn it as Noel pretty much plays the same chords in slightly different order.

 

But when we close with Champagne Supernova it brings the house down.

 

Oh, Ive never liked Dont Look Back in Anger, I refuse to play that song much to my singers disgust.

I point blank refuse to do any Oasis material... Untouchable for me, nearly everyone of them's been butchered a million times on youtube.. Seen them live loads and loved the madness of it when it was kicking off, but by the time it got arenas and union jack guitars it was done... coat tailing Paul Weller and posing as mods, everything mod about mod is not coat-tailing someone old enough to be a 'been there and done it'.

 

Chancers in Fred Perry tops and a vintage lambretta lobbed in for direct reference for followers with a reading age of less than 7. Nothing mod about that...

Ah youre a hard man PM. You know there are other songs than Wonderwall (we play the Ryan Adams version anyway)

 

But we dont have much choice, we play an Irish pub these days in the red light district, smack bang between two brothels and the strippers and hookers drop in some time, so we wanna keep playing there. But the punters are basically my age of around 40, mostly from manchester and grew up on Brit pop. So weve been going crazy learning early 90's British tunes from Paul Weller, James, Travis, Radiohead and the Gallagher brothers

 

Its all good fun mate.

What always annoyed me was their attitude, not towards the audience, but the music.

They appeared like they didn't care and were bored themselves – over the square and rather unsophisticated material they kept generating and had to deliver over and over.

I saw no soul or nuance and that clicked me off from the beginning (tho a couple of songs were good).

The everlasting feuds between the bros seemed to be either a gimmick or plain stupid, which again produced the image of something lame. Yeah that's the phrase – LAME.

In many ways cool looking, but brain-dead.

All those negs are exactly what is left behind in the footage above.

There Noel is seen showing genuine rock virtues, , , on several parameters, , , , maybe he picked something up from the Donovan concert we approached together a few years back, hehe he. . .

 

 

PM – in spite of my obvious distance, I of course really dig the lesbo factor.
